The Age of Despair

Urm, its hard enough communicating over the internet without the aid of visual cues so I have no idea what you mean by your long pause. Am I to understand that production has been slowed due to real world constraints? If so you have my sympathies. This is one mod that I am defiantly looking forward to.
 
I am restricted by Time constraints (a job will do that to ya.) I try to do a bit of work, around it, but...
 
....... Is this dead?
 
unfortunately.
 
Anyone know when this might come to fruitation?
This sounds extremely fun, if mildly depressing.
 
I don't know, but I think the mod is pretty much dead. For one thing, it doesn't fit that well with some more recently revealed lore. For example, it was revealed that dead gods are actually dead, not reincarnated. Mulcarn could be reborn only in the sense that his precept reached out to a talented mage and lead him to become a new god of ice. I suppose Bar Duros could just be a talented girl whom the spirit sphere seeks, but she cannot be Sirona.
 
Sorry for the Off topic discussion, but where does the dead-god's soul go? To Arawn's Netherworld? (I assume so because that was how Succellus was reborn). By the way, didn't Sucellus use the power of Life Sphere to resurrect himself (or something like that)? Doesn't that mean the Succellus would be able to resurrect other dead gods as well?
 
No, Arawn wouldn't resurrect him since that would require getting personally involved in Creation again. Sucellus did resurrect himself after gaining the precept of Life, and even then he was only able to after the 7 pieces of his body were uncovered and brought back together in his tomb. I imagine that he had to rely on mortals to do that (probably the Ljosalfar, who were being led by Cernunnos, perhaps with help from human druids too), and that this was likely a quest nearly as epic as Kylorin slaying Mulcarn.


Sucellus didn't die the same way Mulcarn did. No single god has the power to destroy another god; only The Godslaer can do that, and that probably would only work against those who personally swore to be vulnerable to it. Mulcarn could not truly defeat Sucellus, so he broke his body up into 7 pieces and buried them far apart to prevent them from rejoining and healing. With his body temporarily defunct, Sucellus's soul fled to the Unerworld just like the immortal souls of mortals do. Inflicting this type of death on a fellow god is apparently well within the power of a single god, so there would be little point in creating a special weapon that kills in the same limited way. No, I'm thinkign that the death by the Godslayer is an absolute, final death. From what I gather, Mulcarn was probably destroyed soul and all. If his soul does remain, it is likely not to be found in the known planes of Creation, and likely beyond even the Metaverse that Ceridwen knows. Only The One really knows the fate of his soul, and only The One could save it. (Even if a soul is destroyed completely, I'm sure The One would be able to restore it, if only to let it stand accountable when he returns.)
 
But what if the death imposed upon Sirona was like the one done to Sucellus? Would that be possible and/or allow Bar Duros to be Sirona's way of moving into Erebus without the life sphere?
 
I suppose Sirona's soul could use her spirit mana to take over another human host, but only in the sense of being like a Tok'ra host, sharing one body with two minds.
 
Couldn't she do what Eurabates/Gibbon Goetia/Laroth did and start switching bodies?

This is only a possible next age right?

Sucellus didn't die the same way Mulcarn did. No single god has the power to destroy another god; only The Godslaer can do that, and that probably would only work against those who personally swore to be vulnerable to it.

Shouldn't Auric be immune to the Godslayer then because he never signed it?
 
I think it's that Mulcarn's signing of the compact was coded into his sphere, meaning that all future gods of the sphere had to follow the compact and all its restrictions, including the godslayer.

godslayer is still powerful, it has the power of all 21 gods embedded into it. No single god can annhiliate another god, but combined force of 21 god sure as heck could.
 
I think the release of all the canonical FfH scenarios hurt its development, as it was not really compatible with this modmod's storyline.
 
So now this mod will never see the light of day?

Unless someone else, or some other people, want to get together and make it.

(I'd be vaguely interested in continuing this mod if others are, though I wouldn't have the interest to go whole hog on this scenario on my own, plus may not have the full XML/python knowledge depending on what would be needed.)
