Note: After some reflection I’ve realized I should just source the images in the video. Feels wrong leaving them up without knowing where they came from. Expect that to be updated in the description in the next day or so. My apologies to any artist I neglected. I’m still figuring this KZbin thing out. It won’t happen again, I promise. Edit: I have added a section in the description showing the sources for the images used in the video. You can also find them at this link here: docs.google.com/document/d/12LsnIoMNDr5M5WhtokuVVx3vAONgoVCCdhCKRvs0z30/edit?usp=sharing

Some things to note: 1. The Aautokratas of the later empire are not descendants of the purest, but ordained; due to there victory in the blood senate. 2. The forgotten saint is also a iconoclast - in short, he’s the most recent appearance of the same figure, who’s mentioned in Chevalier as the “black mob” and aversaria as the “mindseeker”, a figure of great power that gave magical power to his disciple’s. May also be the “Sword of the Angels” 3. Maybe also include Gardfrei’s northern journey next time

This mod is INCREDIBLE. I remember playing this years ago and being absolutely blown away by the detail and the setting and the lore. It was what convinced me that CK3's modding potential was a cut above all the other PDX games. Nowadays we have amazing mods like Elder Kings & AGOT & LOTR, but Godherja remains special to me just because of how unique it is. It's not based on a massive fantasy franchise with deep archives of lore and story to draw upon, it is instead a seemingly original creation borne from the creative minds of the team behind it. An incredible and original fantasy map set basically right as the barbarians breach the gates and Godherja's version of the Roman Empire is in collapse (while the literal world is ending) is such a badass concept.

As someone who has played this mod and other ck3 overhaul mods for years I've always found it odd how Godherja hasn't blown up within the community. It's by far the best original fantasy mod and it has so much depth that it could easily have a series of Elder Scrolls-like games, IMO it blows every other ck3 overhaul mod out of the water.

It's probably the fact that it is a new lore-heavy universe that is the "problem", quite daunting for new players to get into. In EU4's Anbennar the lore is also directly tied to gameplay through the mission tree which helps.

Heavily recommend playing one of the sjakvolki tribesmen, any really. Migrate into Aversaria with the Imperrech, found some kingdoms across the shattered sea before moving on further east, then settle somewhere south of the redlands with distant relatives across the aversarian isles. Its really fun to have a spread out dynasty with many different branches, hybrid cultures and tribes

This mod just reads like someone was overly attached to the word "ae" and letter "A" and just...ran with it. It's one of the big reasons I have trouble understanding Godherja (even though I love the concept and quality). So many long, unnecessarily overcomplicated name everywhere, and like 75% of them involve the dreaded "ae ae ae". Kinda ridiculous at times. But still, thank you for this video. It is excellent, and helped me understand the basic themes of this mod's lore at least.

So i started a save before knowing any lore, picked an aversarian start in the islands, when i saw cenware hordes getting closer and closer and conquering everyone, i went full intrigue and murdered him, exploding his empire into many smaller realms. Unknowingly i follow the cruel route, making my aversarian ancestors proud. The decades that followed were of growth and consolidation, the empire of the pure is closer and closer to being reborn.

What I really appreciate is that they changed the map enough for the allusions to earth history to remain as just allusions rather than straight up copying the real world the way some fictional settings end up doing.

Ugh, now i want a book series. Well done on the vid. I will say my only complaint is that as someone who uses headphones, your voices volume fluctuates often in the vid. I suspect this is only really noticeable for someone like me using noise cancelling headphones of a pretty decent quality. Thanks for the overview.

Sounds like humans really were the superior species but their creator could not see the truth and could not even understand their mind. Sure the 2nd creation was stronger and more magically adept but in being more relatable they lacked the very thing that separated the human mind from that of the creator.

I would love videos going over specific character lore and decisions they can make in game. One of my favorite characters and campaigns is Cois so I would love to see a video on him or any other interesting character. An example of going over in game decisions could be the major one where he beats cenware, where he becomes his subject, or beats him infuriating cenware and then loses and gets killed. That quicker because he dies. I don’t know if these would even be videos you’d want to make, but I’d be interested in them.

It's a great setting but I think it has significantly more than AtE. AtE is way more prone to head canon. Godherja simply answers almost everything you can possibly ask lol.

I agree to a point. They merely wanted to talk and have someone be equal to them. Fun-fact: Aersanon actually uses They/Them pronounces. Hence why they are known as the Mother and Father of creation. They are intentionally left ungendered because they are more a manifestation of essence than say a person.
