@@garvinanders2355 when I did my review and talked to people that had read them, nobody could say anythingore than Black Vessel was okay

I filtered out three different settings for AI, stable diffusion and generative art if it made it through that I did my part. I think it was from a Dune fan

@@Mr_Welch Fair enough. It's vaguely Ironic that you need AI to kill AI, and sometimes they seem to spare each other as a nasty joke. They're conspiring.

@@DIEGhostfish generally I grab older art so I know it's not AI

@@Mr_Welch Yeah you're a good one.

@@springheeledjackofthegurdi2117 depends on the elf but normally they are misguided, or misled. Its a common view by Mystara deities that gods are parasites on mortals. That's archfey and Immortals, not much info on Spirit Lords

@@johnbalk6091 they are on the list I have to see exactly where I think the next one is frisland

@Mr_Welch Awesome! Can't wait! Looking forward to the Drums/Fire Mountain remaster as well! I hope you're doing well! Interesting video.

@@johnbalk6091 The remaster should hopefully be up this week assuming nothing else burns down. I've been doing dad things which every dad needs to do.

@Mr_Welch Roger that! My honey Do list is never-ending!

@@Mr_Welch Thanks. Your own creation I take it? A while back I was needing some legal public slave trading organizations for my Birthright conversion of Thyatis to use as Guilders - too bad I didn’t know about them. I ended up importing or creating (or a mix of both) a total of 3 of them, including the mixed one is specifically a Hattian one. I took the name “Lupus Inferni” from Galero’s D&D 3.0: Tales of Mystara blog but gave it a different story/role: LupI- Lupus Inferni Based out of Hattias, and rumored to have it’s origins in an ancient Lupin secret society which had no qualms about hunting humans, it is now predominantly a Hattian Human organization (though Lupins do still tend to be slightly more common within the organization than they are within the broader populace). It is a not insignificant provider to the slave markets of the Empire. Little is popularly known of their business methods- most folks don’t ask and they brook no questions of their methods but it is understood and overlooked that slaves purchased from the Lupus Inferni are likely to be in poorer… “condition”… than those purchased from the Servus Forum or the Theraponii, but the prices tend to be better. Others counter that such rumors of dark secret shadowy occult origins and fearsome reputation are just to dissuade the competition from learning their trade secret advantages. Areas of Operation- Hattias, Thyatis City, unknown abroad. However, an organization with ties to von Hendricks and a rivalry with the Iron Ring would have been more interesting and better integrated than what I went with. At this point I don’t want to try to rebalance everything to add another, but then I also don’t yet have any leaders for Lupus Inferni - maybe I could say it was taken over at some point by this von Keshler family?

@@gregweatherup9596 Yes I needed them to fill a plot hole left by one of the adventures.

Also, the bit about the elven pantheon... I am in general against "racial" pantheons. Just do what Dragonlance did and have part of the deity/immortal description be the names and other appearances to non-humans. The elven pantheon, especially in the Realms, always struck me as utter assholes, and only look anywhere near good aligned compared to Lolth...

@@horacioaugustofilho6487 He's on the list but it's all pure speculation

And I'd not have it any other way

@alexb6654 ehh my issue is its only a cosomological grimmness

It would be very Loki of ImmortalLoki going around, telling everyone that there is no such thing as Loki.

To be honest I find the entire cosmology of mystara just makes the entire setting needlessly grim. I mean when you think about it. Endless reincarnation over and over again is frankly kind of cruel. You either shoot for and become immortal, or you contiuesly reincarnate and lose all your previous memories connections, friends, etc. Only to be sent right back and sent to do it again. I mean what about the people who don't have such lofty ambitions as becoming immortal and just want to have a nice plot of land, and a family? Just "Oh sorry man, but you need to be reincarnated over and over again until eventually you finally become the pinnacle of existence." While the world of Mystara might be good for the few that make it to immortality, it overall just seems like the vast majority of people across every age just kind of lose out.

Insinuated to be Ao, don't think another has been ever named. He was observing a rather angry dispute over souls. Skuld sought him out while everybody else was screaming at each other. Fanon from the vaults
