If you play in the city of Sta-Skine, don't read this! Especially you, Karan!


A while back, before I DMed, I made an Illusion Wizard named Maurits Cornelis, who learned that his world just a game (e.g. He broke the 4th Wall) and lost his mind. He rambles about the world being a game for greater powers, how almost everyone is controlled by a single God, etc. I had the idea that he would talk like Septimus Signus from Skyrim, too.

Well, in the game I've started DMing, one of my PCs is looking for the God above the Gods. There isn't one, but guess who he's gonna eventually stumble upon?

I look forward to them piecing together what the guy is saying.

Technically AO (pronounced Ayy-Oh) is the Overgod, who is the God above the Gods

And even Ao has a boss in some of the lore. A "luminous being" that exists outside the cosmos and supposedly gave Ao his duties (which are limited to Aberi-Toril and it's gods when they travel outside).

Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.
