I've decided that villains should always be as evil as humanly possible. In my experience if you try to make a villain sympathetic or nuanced the playoids will just resent you for trying to manipulate their emotions.
>>96620627When one of the gods of death was alive, he very firmly held the title of "worst human being to ever live." He was both personally a shithead, but his goal was equally monstrous - his goal was to use a spell to drain the world of its essence to fuel his ascent to Godhood. He knew doing this could very well kill everything in existence. He was fine with becoming a god of a ruined, lifeless world if it meant he got the power he wanted.Of course, that was one defeated campaign and an entire era ago. The world survived, but it was damaged. The land he ascended is was drained dry, and the rest of the world is kind of fucked. In his current form, he is somehow not as bad. The dark god he now is has become apathetic. The power he sought mastery over itself was weakened by his own actions. And more over, he has nothing to gain from scheming.
>>96620667Maybe I'm just a fucking midwit but I really didn't get the hype over this book even after reading it.
>>96629816If you don't like McCarthy's prose on its own you're not gonna get anything out of the book. >They came to know the nightskies well. Western eyes that read more geometric constructions than those names given by the ancients. Tethered to the polestar they rode the Dipper round while Orion rose in the southwest like a great electric kite.
Long past dark that night when the moon was already up a party of women that had been upriver drying fish returned to the village and wandered howling through the ruins. A few fires still smoldered on the ground and dogs slank off from among the corpses. An old woman knelt at the blackened stones before her door and poked brush into the coals and blew back a flame from the ashes and began to right the overturned pots. All about her the dead lay with their peeled skulls like polyps bluely wet or luminescent melons cooling on some mesa of the moon. In the days to come the frail black rebuses of blood in those sands would crack and break and drift away so that in the circuit of few suns all trace of the destruction of these people would be erased. The desert wind would salt their ruins and there would be nothing, nor ghost nor scribe, to tell to any pilgrim in his passing how it was that people had lived in this place and in this place died.
>>96633106lol. lmao even.
>>96620627The undead cult that’s harvesting bodies slain on the battlefield to create meat constructs constructs and selling them to the highest bidder to keep the conflict going.
>>96620627I don't have a proper name for him yet but I've code named him Edris because I like how it sounds.Long story short, he's the first person to figure out how to briefly contain a person's "soul" and also the first person to intentionally turn someone into a wraith and laying the ground work for a number of the more horrible uses of psychic powers.He's also the dirty little secret of the main organization the PCs would be working for as they would drag their feet on pursuing him to use his research to help them get a hold on the phenomenon they had to deal with at the cost of allowing many criminal organizations and cults to patron him and make use of his research in their own ways.
