Prismatic “Mat” Gay's page

In Impossible Lands, it mentions in a few places, such as page 96, that the Donguni dwarves do quite a lot of mining in the Shattered Range. However, in the map provided in that same book--and the maps I can find online--Dongun Hold is quite a distance from the Shattered Range, so I don't know how that would work, especially because they're noted to have, prior to the arrival of Ancil Alkenstar, not gone to the surface for millennia. Any idea as to how to make this make sense? Or is there something I'm missing?

Wait, they're killing Harold!?

Kidding. But also, Heralds die more often than you think. The Stabbing Beast in particular has been killed in TWO different adventure paths (How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old stabby man!?)
Personally, I'd be pretty sad if Cayden's herald died. I love her. Sex worker celestial who was besties with the god in life and then got to become his herald after death? Pretty good deal there.

Thais is great! She hates Asmodeus so much she once flew down to his layer of Hell and 1v1ed him. I mean, she lost a wing as a result and barely escaped, but the fact that she is survived at all is crazy, given that Asmodeus is one of the more powerful gods, and Thais…can theoretically be defeated by a high-level non-mythic party (at least, in 1E; I don’t think we’ve gotten any statblocks for heralds in 2E, but I could be wrong).

Did they say that only one of the Core 20 will die? Maybe someone else's death kicks off the war, and at some point in there Torag heroically sacrifices himself for some reason or another, so the dwarves aren't a focus for most of the war but have a lot to do in the aftermath?

Yep, they did in a reddit post I believe

I was really hoping it would be Iomedae..... at least it's only a 10% chance she'll die? (Well. Not really. But you know.)

I really hope Iomedae doesn’t die. It would be so cool to see how their relationship evolves once Arazni becomes a proper god (especially given she seems to be going to become un-undead, given the cover of Divine Mysteries).

Hopefully what their relationship will evolve into will involve kissing.

I think it’s a fairly common interpretation that the instigator is going to, in some way, be part of the Dark Tapestry. Also, maybe this is just a quibble—after all, at least in my opinion, War of Immortals sounds a little bit cooler than War of Gods, maybe because of that extra syllable, or the Germanic-origin vs Latinate-origin register differences—but I feel like perhaps “Immortals” was chosen because not all of the big players will be gods, which, if true, would support the whole Dark Tapestry BBEG thing, because I wouldn’t say the beings from it are exactly gods, per se.
