Oh man I had a really weird long dream about Enkidel &co, and it was so vivid i'm gonna post it. It was a two parter but I can't decide if the second half was related or not, and it was pretty long too. E, Uriah, a bunch of balls, and weirdly enough some great-great grandkids and other low level randos from Zepath region were out on some kind of expedition. The terrain was some kind of wasteland, it was very dry and maybe had some scrub or like a dead looking tree every once and a while. The thing was, it was cool. Not cold, but enough that it would be intensely unpleasant if you didn't have the clothes for it. There were parts where the soil was described as being like shoving your hands into the ashes of a long dead campfire, but it wasn't truly dust. It was really obvious that this was pretty far into the game, like maybe double the time that's passed already. It was a big mission with a lot of different teams doing stuff. Enki and Uriah and I think Gareb? + a pair of Ahaz's great grandkids or descendants just finished scouting out some kind of cave system. It wasn't that dangerous, but there were giants and weird things living in there. Giants as like the Ur version not the south version. We were looking for some specific things and didn't find them, but we found some useful information: It had a lot of old obscure machinery. Powerful, dangerous, and semi-broken. Sort of Baitel level but a lot more difficult to understand what the purpose could ever have been. It was polluted, heavily. This is the part that was actually the most dangerous, it was some kind of spiritual thing. A lot of machine parts in particular were repulsive because of this. Where living things lived in the cave it wasn't really bad. "They" lived here once and did a lot of work here. I dunno who they were but I think they were some kind of strong human civilization that was opposed to Ur in the distant past, then completely destroyed and forgotten. They were evil & insanely haughty & didn't submit to El. So we left the cave and out the mouth had a discussion on what to do next. We met some kind of guy who was living in the ruins (there were some ruins around the cave mouth), and he was more blooded than the donut but not really that blooded. He wore exotic, filthy clothes that would have been brightly colored if it wasn't so grimy. We talked to him and he spoke strongly accented Urian but nothing he said made sense. Eventually he got scared of us and ran and we let him go. Uriah thought he was crazy and was moderately pissed in general and so him and Gareb left to continue on to the next spot, while we and the kids stayed to look over a few things real quick. There was a big piece of crumpled green-black metal half buried on the surface that must have been like... a hatch? a machine component? It was super polluted feeling and repugnant so we smashed it up into a ball and hurled it down the cave in one of those El-Rages. Then we saw that one part of the entrance was extra fungus-y with this purple-black stuff. Using presence senses we somehow determined that "they" had done magic on the original fungus to imbue it with the properties of that metal and it was ultra hosed up experimentation on living things, one of their many disgusting crimes against God. The kids had a lot of questions about what was going on with this stuff and the vote that won was some verbose impassioned speech about how some things in this world are displeasing to El, and so hateful to Him they aren't suitable for the use of men, or even demons, or anything that walks in the world. Buried lede: one of the kids was an extremely tall young woman with a nice unusually long spear and clothes that were kind of reminiscent of the priesthood but obviously not in any way actually related. Tudiya knew about this and in fact authorized it. She was the one asking many of the questions and seemed to be pretty terse and kind of philosophical. The other kid was a more usual blooded son kinda kid. Kind of a pussy but not really, he was lacking confidence in battle from some event but in his heart could be a badass hero some day. The son found a weak spot in the wall where this fungus was growing and there was a sound of rushing water, some underground river was undercutting the place and chunks were almost falling down. After the thread bitched that we left Ahaz at home (he would have instantly noticed this), we immediately left to go tell pops, this could end up some kind of serious problem for some reason? tl;dr so yeah, loving weird dream situation. Tudyia personally lead a massive % of the blooded people away from the Zepath region for some kind of long term multi year distant expedition A good amount of the people were not that strong but everyone was unusually well educated, especially in spiritual stuff. A strong proportion of the people who came with us were from Dor or Acco or elsewhere (!) Armed women (!!) were with the group, and there were priests Pops personally authorized all these things, so poo poo must have gone crazy between now and then Presence sense was highly developed even further than now It was in some kind of weird unknown doom zone that seemed to be more spiritually dangerous than anything else. The land was dead. Everything was dead, except a very few hardy animals and lunatics who lived in the ruins still. Everything was cosmologically integrated and none of this was something that didn't add up or anything. I think "they" were some kind of human civ that opposed Labaras in the old times and were fully eradicated, but this was like secret priestly knowledge for some reason. They were very powerful but corrupted to the core. All their works were evil. The weirdest part was how vivid it was and how strong the emotions of the characters were, I could practically taste them. Super weird, strong dream. I guess I felt like a real watcher or something, it was unreal.

I feel like this lends credence to Zepath, already established as being outside Ur, as also only El adjacent but not El aligned. Instead, maybe the trio is another set of pretenders, and as their Prophet, Ishamal only participates in Temple ceremony for appearances sake. El tolerates the trio much like he tolerates the Kadmonim, as a buffer state and likely to expensive to conquer. We are afforded protection by the trio because we're their commander, more specifically an OP as gently caress sacred battlemage and priest with good paths but lol Protection.

Edit: I mean, I think Ishamal must have some other reason for not making offerings. Also, Zepa's monument specifically mentioned qorbans, so I don't think it's to do with that, either.

Ishamal knows that El worship is worshipping a pretender and doesn’t partake. Either that or it actually is Labaras as a battery and doesn’t want to worship his dad.

We're apparently tapping into our El tendril now (maybe deliberately after the Orm) and all we get from El is rage about altars and smug satisfaction from wrecking giants. El is not nice, where as Ish is a softie.

Ish must have some reason, but we don't even know if it's a personal choice or not. Like, it could just be, if he as the Trio's representative made any specific sacrifice, a hell of a lot of people would take it as a personal endorsement of a particular style of sacrifice, so he doesn't at all. Or he could disagree with them somehow. Or any number of possibilities.

Lead out in cuffs posted:Tudiya, the king of Zepath, seems pretty pious though. I don't think that disproves the idea though, rather indicates that the trio have an agreement with El; continued existence and territorial integrity, except they make themselves scarce. It it's logical to conclude that such an arrangement means all future Kings and the pop bend the knee to El. I think it was an offer made to everyone really, and only a few reasonable ones accepted.

quote:"El cares not for the smell of incense upon the altar or burning flesh, for he is all powerful, always was, is and always shall be. Our offerings are a testament to him of our faith. Things you value which you surrender, things gained at great cost and hardship, such are pleasing to El." "Great cost and hardship" is proportional to your abilities. When we were a mostly-mortal man starving in the desert, a chunk of mutant jackal flesh was worthy, and now it isn't. I have no idea what a man like Ishamal would have to offer up in order for it to register as a meaningful sacrifice - he doesn't seem to have that many attachments or material desires, and it's not like he goes adventuring to smite demons that might legitimately challenge him - so he might as well skip it.

UppaTree posted:"Great cost and hardship" is proportional to your abilities. When we were a mostly-mortal man starving in the desert, a chunk of mutant jackal flesh was worthy, and now it isn't. Yeah but that's not an excuse to never offer sacrifices ever. Modern Enkidel still lays plenty of mundane sacrifices on the altar even though an entire herd of cows is just a rounding error on our finances these days. Sure, we don't get massive columns of flame, but we still regularly pay respect to El, as all pious men of Ur should. "It won't get me a 30 foot column of supernatural flame so why even bother might as well do nothing at all" is bullshit logic, the vast vast VAST majority of sacrifices appear totally mundane, including every single one most normal people make in their entire lives. But you're expected to do it anyways. Never making any sacrifices at all for any reason is extremely weird and I'm intrigued as to why Ish does it.

One of the biggest reasons I don't trust El orthodoxy is because Ish isn't at Baitel working under the chuch and he hasn't personally sacrificed to El as far as Enkidel can remember. Additionally, he was very explicit that he served only El and yet we learn later from Amok that El is a word that means god. The biggest reason is because the first post had the actual creation story and the El orthodox version ain't it. Also before I forget Billy was totally going to recite the real creation story in the first post when he ran out of time. Polgas fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Sep 27, 2018 |
