    Look up Bowletta. They’re an official character from Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and are the closest we’ll probably ever get to an official ‘Bowsette’ type character, though more on the horiffic monster side of things.




  • Did the apparent ‘death’ of the Al’Modian deities have any significant cosmological impact in the world? Beyond the purely social ones you discuss here, I mean. Any major changes in ‘how things worked’?

    It wasn’t just the Al’Modian deities, it was everyone’s deities. The Silence of Saints was an event that happened sometime in the 730s when the gods no longer talked to the mortal realm. Many Listeners of the gods had also reported a similar ring in their ears the day that it had happened: A rattling of chains. This entire event in turn up-ended many power systems that had existed for nearly 500 years and plunged the world into an era of uncertainty known as the Age of Twilight. The new thing however was the expansion of the new Humarian pantheon which followed the concept of gods that had ascended from the mortal plane from human souls.

    As various Al’Modian nobility broke from the empire (either out of personal vendetta or pragmatism), how were they viewed by their newfound allies? Conversely, how did they view their new allies? Did they fear they might be turned on, or was it a fairly ironclad alliance?

    Things would have been shaky in the first couple years between everyone. All of them joined the Republic of Merchants for different reasons, and there absolutely would have been plenty of back-stabbing along the way. It kept a lot of people on edge as they rooted out the bad and aided in propping up the good, which would ultimately lead into further struggles along the way which would get only messier during the Sunless Sea War.











  • Which is what pisses me off. If Google is so money hungry here, why not raise the rates on advertisers instead? Not like these multibillion dollar companies like Coke, Pepsi, Apple, etc have anywhere else to go for advertising online with a large audience exposure. If people have to watch ads, keep it minimal on the viewer and maximize it on the advertisers.
