I mean, where is Hephaestus and Aphrodite in the Arcane Lore?
Did they die in the war? There is no mention of them. Also I assume that around the time of the war, they were still under the sea, so they couldn’t die. I know that the lore stated all the gods died, but that is a big fat lie because in the lore, Hades got killed by the Peacekeeper. No, Hades was not dead before that.
Hephaestus definitely could’ve made some cool weapons. Sad that he’s never mentioned
Well also the lore goes by what is read in books and understood by historians. This means that it isn’t an all knowing god that is telling us what happens, its the understanding of the characters. An example of this would be when they said you cant unlock a fourth or fifth mind. It is facts until contradicted by other historians.
In other words maybe there are a few gods left out there. or gods waiting to be born.
