If I don’t understand Arcane Odyssey lore, neither will some politically incorrect mfs.

25

Better safe than sorry, it’s not like excluding him ruins the lore

Since he didn’t answer the second part of the question I’m just going to assume that the AD/BC system never existed and humans didn’t have a collective way of counting years until Y1.

Okay, but then where does the Lazarus curse come from. Since the only reason Lazarus was revived was through Jesus’s intervention. Then again, in the story we get from Blackreach (I can’t remember the storyteller’s name) it doesn’t mention what curse the hero had, so maybe Vetex will change the name to something more setting appropriate?

I don’t know, honestly I feel like having no reference to other religions, outside of Ramses from AA, creates plot holes since religion unsurprisingly influenced a lot of history. Particularly in the time leading up to 100 AD. Heck even a lot of the way we speak is influenced by religion.

Also to answer the actual thread topic. Yueltide should really only be celebrated in Keraxe and other Nordic influenced lands. While places like Ravenna should celebrate a Holiday that is at least based on the old traditions of Saturnalia.

I realize a lot of history would have been lost in The Fracturing, but religion is one of the few things that can survive cultural collapses like The Fracturing, as such cataclysm would cause the people to hold more strongly to their beliefs. There should also be more historical religions regardless, because I can’t imagine people especially in the early 100 ADs, just accepting their religions as false.

Unfortunately, an NPC on Cirrus Island states that “religion is rare” or something along these lines.

Vetex just names shit whatever the hell he wants, how exactly did we get “electron” magic when electrons weren’t discovered yet

34

Which again is really weird, because splinter religions based on the fragmentary mythology that would have sprouted after The Fracturing should be popping out of the woodwork constantly.

But no instead we got.
Worship Theos as a Messiah figure
Worship Hades and Chaos, because clearly Hades has to be evil.
Whatever the Order’s probably got going on
And trees? I guess, I honestly got no clue what Greenwish is doing.

35

Yeah, I’ve got a rant in the works to explain my grievances with that particular “ancient” magic.

36

How about instead of making holiday names lamer, we make them cooler?
Rename Halloween 2024 to Oktoberfest!!
