[GRIM DAWN] Forgotten Gods!!! Witch Gods WILL TREMBLE!!

[@Narnach]

Interesting perspective/prediction that they'll approach it from the Witch Gods perspective. That does remind me that in the Hidden Path content we discovered that the Witch Gods had disappeared, or at least gone silent to their followers. That's an excellent lore thread to pick up in an expansion. After searching around a bit I stumbled upon the title of Forgotten God for Korvaak, whom we know of via the Tomb of Korvaak and the Eye of Korvaak that Father Kymon wants. The lore background of Father Kymon paints him as a former Inquisitor with noble background. He went a bit off the rails, though. Ending up in a remote village, built atop the ruins of an ancient city, where locals claimed was the resting place of a forgotten god. Kymon thought it was Empyrion, but in the end was not so sure. Based on the Kymon's Chosen questline, I think it was actually Korvaak. Kymon learned the language of a dead religion and performed some horrible rituals, but ultimately rejected the presence that offered great power at a terrible price; he burned the village and returned back to Erulan just before the Grim Dawn. He did end up with The Messenger, which might be an aspect of Korvaak, or simply a connection to him. I suspect we'll head back to the remote village that Kymon went to, and it might be that the presence (Korvaak?) eventually found someone else to release it. That's one forgotten god, though. The expansion speaks of gods. Would the other ones be the missing Witch Gods, or some of the other names we've heard of but not seen much of: Empyrion has a link via Kymon's Chosen. Oleron seem to fit the martial impression the teaser image gives. Ulzuin as the fire god, and Menhir as the god of earth both match the desert setting. It's going to be a fun time, eagerly awaiting the bi-weekly Grim Misfortune updates :-)

Also, the follower of Soleil, chosen to be forever in the last temple of the Hidden Path Quest, speaks of a Covenant between the three witch gods (he was the messenger for this proposal). There is even a set of items named after it (Unholy Covenant). The messanger says the gods needed to get back together in order to fight or balance (I don't rememebr exactly) some power that has come back to Cairn. It will be so amazing to get to some more of the lore! I've been excited about the Forgotten God's history ever since I started playing the game. This morning when I found out about the expansion... well, one of the best wake-ups ever!!!

Wes Oldenbeuving Very well said and great information and very informative. I think you are most likely correct and again you impress me with your Grim Dawn knowledge :D

[@Mikey92186]

Mariana Antonieva I agree and I can not wait for the expansion.

[@happllo]

The musings lore you find at the end of the ancient grove points towards this expansion.

[@farkasabel]

This Korvaak guy is the first god. The god of life/creation. He created everything. C'thon is his main opponent as the god of death/destruction. I guess the next expansion will be about pushing back and taking the fight to the aethereals. or at least searching for a 'superweapon'.

[@rednab2001]

Thanks for the update...this is awesome news. I have only been playing the Malmouth expansion for a few months but am completely in love with it. I am super excited to see what quality of life updates we get. The ones we got in the last expansion were great (storage expansion) so I'm looking forward to more. I know it may only be a pipe dream, but I also wish they could find a way to make retaliation work better against ranged....would love to see it a more viable play style. As for new end game play mode, some kind of randomized instanced dungeon would be really cool...I loved that feature in the Torchlight series. Thanks again and please keep us updated on this.

[@Mikey92186]

rednab2001 For sure and I think you have some great points here and I think these changes would also be great. Thanks for watching!

[@hansele666]

i hope we get finally a mechanic to share iron bits between all of your characters, some kind of account wide currency system

[@luQ89]

HYPE!

[@SB-qm5wg]

Can't wait.

[@SinnfullDuck]

OMG SO EXCITED!!!!!!

[@goblin12]

so the shrine of the forgotten god will finally mean something lol

[@xXx-vk2uq]

Can u do a knight build video

[@menpee]

AoM was my first ever 0day purchase, this will be the second.

[@abbynormall207]

awesome, I didn't think they would do another Xpack. I'm kinda scared though, hope it isn't a disappointment.

[@Mikey92186]

Gantinx Gantinx I agree and I think Crate will do a great job thus far they typically do :D

[@abbynormall207]

You never know when some jackass that is funding a project will walk in and have "some great ideas" to "tweek" it though. Its ok I'm more than satisfied with the game so far.

[@whoami133]

Honestly, i'd love to see an animation rework of the player character/characters in general. It looks so outdated which is kind of sad in my opinion. Still a good game and i am excited about the Addon.

[@Mikey92186]

InternetCommunityManager Yea I can see that would be cool if each class had a unique look and style.

[@kinkysuuu5267]

Bysmiel one of the witch gods is also a pet god or whatever...maybe wed get more pets supportive items too

[@xanakify]

Kinky Suuu i hope they change some constellations to have pet bonuses.

[@Mikey92186]

Kinky Suuu Boy do I hope so lol.

[@yurihageshi8008]

Vegard Shepard's crook

[@iteststuff3854]

Dunno what you guys are talking about. Pet builds are extremely OP. If you mean a wider variety then I guess that’d be nice.

[@abbynormall207]

first post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cjgregor98]

Thanks for the news. I only hope the new expansion will not make my PC out of date and unplayable. Had that problem with Skyrim and Path of Exile.

[@Mikey92186]

Charlie Gregor I hope for your sake you can continue to play as well.

[@kippinski02]

this will be the Xbox one port too I think

[@kinkysuuu5267]

i hope they also add a place in the eldritch realm like whats it like in the place of witch gods

[@PoisonZero]

you should you should make a lore video me being an avid player...ill be honest half the stuff i missed and others i flat out don`t understand lol

[@Mikey92186]

King Ivey I could work on that :D

[@PoisonZero]

Mordecai Mike i would love it honestly please do!!!! At least just key points you know

[@reggaeonabike]

If they add endgame content similar to Diablo or PoE, the game will become complete! Mike please update your Conjurer videos ❤️😎

[@Mikey92186]

N3wton's apple I agree and I will do!

[@The10532124]

I like the fact that this game tries to do the opposite of the other 2. I stop playing D3 when it first came out so I can't say much about it now but I have over 900 hours in POE until I found GD. At the end of the day in POE there's only a handful of boss and maps that you go after for the end game where as for GD each boss and even trash mobs has their own benefits giving you more options for your endgame depending of the gear you want to find

[@mertuygun4825]

Sorry, but all gods you mentioned were 'well known' gods actually. All solael bysmiel and dregg has lore and place in grim dawn. They are just Gone. The presence of something northside of the village'cant remember didnt play gd since 1year' drag their attention and they just Gone. Sama story for uruobruuk. From what i remember from lore, it must be korvaak and noonelse. But expansion name is gods so there might be more. Maybe dying god as well.empyrion his son , tried to kill with spear of heavens. But he is not dead. Grim dawn has amazing lore so there might tona of nee surprises.

[@Mikey92186]

Mert uygun Yea I never said they werent.

[@dilsoncamacho4100]

while I'm very very happy that there will be another new expansion, I'm not all that happy with what they told us they are going to put in the expansion. New powers seems to be the biggest thing, but other than that, no new masteries? Man that sucks. I'm well beyong the playing grim dawn vanilla and I'm well into using mods because I already tried all vanilla masteries, I played a lot of dail in the past, a lot of cataclym, grim quest and diablo classes ... They really should add like 2 new masteries.

[@OniDasAlagoas]

Please, Crate, bring Uroboruuk back!

[@unfazedo]

I kind of think they will in the future. What happened to him didn't appeal to me as really he's gone.

[@farkasabel]

HErM3sS The first necromancer. It is like rathma in diablo universe. Or at least he was the one from who the necromancer teachings came from and the order of death's vigil. I didnt find any hint about his godhood.

[@unfazedo]

Didn't he remained bound to the new leader of Death's Vigil?

[@beru56mlg]

Na that was Malkadar. And Wolfenstein, he's probably either a former god, or part of one, or more so an ascendent, like Ulgrim and the PC. And I think he'll be coming back, since his story was tied to an ambush by a "blood cult", just a speculation of course. Or maybe Dravis.

[@neipas09]

I was your #50 thumbs up! I'll take my payment in $20's

[@Mikey92186]

Joel Taggart Yea for sure.

[@kinkysuuu5267]

the forgotten gods are the witch gods

[@Mikey92186]

Kinky Suuu Correct !
