There aren't always direct parallels between IRL history and server lore because the server isn't medieval europe, it just takes aspects of it for a setting.
I'm aware... And I stated this in my post.
I agree with Cynric, however. Ignis was not a God back when I joined in 2012 all the way through to early 2014- and Harateth did not have much followship. While you can draw the parallel that people being burnt is worship to this new sun God (a fair assumption, I think it should be a very credible IC theory), nearly all the Gods weren't followed as so valiantly as they are now.
I was going to write a long post here about the Gods, but I see that this thread is becoming increasingly hostile to itself
No need for that, people...
I don't study in University and share my thoughts by mixing them with fantasy of Hollowworld Lore for you all to get salty =/ It isn't very polite nor community-friendly.
What my friend P00f is trying to say is that Greylings and Earthspawn are the born children of Grief and could be wiped off the face of Altera as heretics with all the zealous characters moving around right now and the Earthspawns near-extinction. It is strange to see them integrated. That is what I believe he is trying to say.
While strange... there was Earthspawn roaming Port Silver casually alongside Siren back in 2012 and 2013. I think it isn't anything new.
However, Gromm and Jeroxia pranking an Earthspawn and then making it chase them all across Port Silver? Pinnacle of Earthspawn integration right there xD
