The undead

I'm unaware of Cardith ever claiming to be a god, but he is described as a God-King in the pedia. I tend to think of his as an Enlightened despot who is in most circumstances an extremely tolerant ruler and would not start a religion to glorify himself. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean he would be particularly eager to put down unofficial cults devoted to him. The Cult of the Dragon is quite popular in his lands, and is tolerated although it conflicts with the teachings of the Kuriotates' official state religion. Eurabatres might be walking a very fine line here to try to let his people's faith in him grant immunity to the influence of the evil gods while not taking any direct action to set himself up as a divinity lest he become as corrupt of the evil he seeks to destroy.

Cardith could be an exception to the rule that worshiping oneself would count as worshiping Mammon, because he technically has 2 different selves that could worship and belong to each other.

 

What is their state religon?
Yay, schizophrenia!!!

 

Can you say that Cardith is schizophrenic if the voices are actually real?

 

I think what you're thinking of is Shatner's Metropol*ytheism, an AAR with the Kurios. Something tells me it actually isnt like that, but instead the way Kurios cities are set up in the form of a handful of metropolises (metropolii?) and a billion settlements.

 

It was a joke

 

Wait, the voices aren't real most of the time? Man, this changes everything!!! No it doesn't!!! Yes it does!!! No! Yes! No! You don't exist!!! YES I DO!!! NO YOU DON'T!! ARGH!!!! (ends up wrestling self on ground)

 

I was merely stating that the gods other than the One would be contrained to work within the three dimensions just like us humans,

as true time travel would obviously be allowed by the One who would be working in 5 dimensions at least.

and Im pretty sure us humans have a pretty strong grasp on manipulating the three basic dimensions

 

*attempts to move a cube across a 2-D square*

Nope, I don't think I have a strong grasp on them

 

hardy har har

space = 1-3

time = 4

spacetime = 5

 

I was under the impression that physicists like to call time the 0th dimension now, and leave the 4 through 11 for for spacial dimensions only really used in string theory (the exact number can vary based on which form of string theory of course).

 

oOoooOoh ... SHINYYYYYY. I must hear more. I like my way better, as thats how it was explained to me, like 5 differnt times by 5 differnt people, but ya know, this way seems mildly curious.

 

I don't believe that Spacetime was ever classed as a dimension of it's own... It's the sum of the actual dimensions, not a separate one. I hadn't heard 0th dimension before, but it makes sense given the rest of string theory...

 

I was pretty sure 4-d was were teseract and what not existed. Or the drug you need to take to see tesseract.
After all, you thry building a Tesseract house.

 

Wait a minute, how did a discussion about the undead turn into a discussion about mortal leaders giving protection to their devouts and then into all sorts of space time mayham?

 

Same way we learn anything in the forums, by one comment being vastly exploded beyond belief. Not saying that's a bad thing though.

 

The Overlords made me do it...

 

Oh, blame the unknown, unknowable, insane deities that is beyond our kin to understand. I see were this is going! Cthulu, grant me the power to smite this heretic, this one who would use your brethrens' name in vain! Long life to Azathoth!!!
(Collapses on the ground from fresh burst of insanity)

 

Ahah! But my devot belief in the God of Evolution will protect me from all danger from our gods! Ahaha!

 

Too bad, my belief in a giant mechanical robot thing that I just sent to kill you shall crush your head in. Literally.

Now, were we talking undead? Then I have a question, can spectres resist the order of the Necromancer who summoned them because they still have a will?

 

And, to add to that question, can the necromancer simply shut them down and cast them back into death at will if they do so?
