Lore Questions

[Leonardo Trapovich]

It is said in the game that Old Gods left the world for good. Does this also include Alll-Mer and God of Fear and Hunger? Do they even count as old gods if they use the perfection circle?

[neo2157]

Mer and fear/hunger god are new gods with the power to rival old gods so they are still around driving humanity forward... or at least all-mer was until he died, then again I think i found a book that explained gods can't actually die in the traditional sense.

Purely speculation but There's a council of "ascended" human gods, there are tons of them and you learn that godhood is actually a trap, only enki and nosramus have figured out the system and cheated it maintaining their individuality. legarde kept his physical form but lost his sense of self.
It breaks down as the old gods are the full representation of existential concepts and the new gods are aspects of those concepts, only alll-mer and the god of fear & hunger are equivalent to the old gods in terms of power due to being half human and half old god.
