Eothas is dead because the Godhammer killed his soul, Abydon still lives because he had his bound to his golem representation. That souls or essence can be used to empower beings can be seen during the Sacrificial Bloodlines quest or when doing the Dozen's quest related to ancient Engwithan weaponry that needs to be infused with essence to work. Magren tried to hide her involvement by making sure that everyone who knew about it wasn't just killed but utterly annihilated (I wonder if that pissed off Rymrgand). This is evidenced by Durance's personal quest and the fact that the Watcher sees his soul as damaged, which the Godhammer did. Waidwen was said to be Eothas personified and both Woedica and Magran intervened with his direct meddling in mortal affairs by having Durance and eleven others create the Godhammer weapon, something so powerful it doesn't just kill you, but obliterates your soul. That this is possible is seen on several occasions in the game (e.g. Abydon was said to have been killed and his soul then bound to some animat (golem). I'm inclined to believe that the Engwithans just used a lot of essence (souls) to empower several probably already powerful beings. They just are what they are, either constructs or severely empowered mortals. The new gods have no divine mandate at all, which is the *truth* that Iovara was spreading, the truth she was tortured and killed for. Obviously that worked, the new gods of course were ultimately extremely powerful beings, powerful enough to make no difference between real and abstract divinity.Įxcept for one minor detail, of course. The remainder of them, led by Thaos, then started the Inquisition bringing the new gods to every corner of the world so that all kith would feel beholden to try and live as decent a life as possible in order to not garner any divine disfavor that would ruin their next life before it began. So, following Voltaire ("If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.") they apparently sacrificed themselves - by the looks of it their entire civilization which also explains why they suddenly disappeared but had enough prior knowledge to ask the Glanfathans to guard their ruins - to create powerful beings that essentially simply *posed* as gods. All the Engwithans found out was that if there had been any creator god or gods they left a long time ago and that the Wheel turns without any divine intervention. Ghosterl: It nowhere does state that any god or gods never existed. I supported him and Gilded Valley got better, as he thinks his actions helped to stop the legacy Raedric was a soul very convicted to his action, that is why is able to remain in this land after being killed (I Assume). If Raedric returning as a Zombie king is a common ending for most people, maybe the devs have it in mind for the sequel? idk. I was expecting some terrible ending to that part, because I didn't kill the boss there - but nope, got a fairly good ending for my Stronghold. In the end I returned all the souls to their former bodies.Īlso, I never did the Endless Paths at all. There are many choices in the game, so maybe something else I did triggered that ending.
no mention of the brother I put in power. So my ending was that Raedric returned as a Zombie King, killed everyone in Gilded Vale (I think), and reclaimed the throne - as a Zombie King.
I sided with his brother - even though after speaking with Raedric I felt like his brother (and the game) was tricking me. Kmh12177: Did anyone side with Raedric instead of replacing him with his brother?
