Anwyn, The Sundered Isle / Anwyn Questions
« on: April 24, 2024, 11:12:00 PM »
Reading FX, I have a few questions about Anwyn:
The gods brought the 9 playable Kin to Anwyn - but what about the peoples from the bestiary like giants, goblins, redcaps, ogres and similar intelligent creatures? Have they been brought along? Or are they native to Anwyn (or have been brought there previously)?
It's the year 130 CE - does that mean that all the playable kin have been brought to Anwyn only 130 years ago? Or is the calendar based on some other event? 130 years seems really short, there shout be a lot of the long-living kins who lived the greater part of their lifes on the old world. Maybe something like 300 years would be better, also to have more "past" for the playable kin to explore? (I know that there's the past of other kin, but the characters are pretty much by definition disconnected from it.)
How Kitchen Sink is the cosmology? The gods aren't named, and there's talk of demons and devils (who seem to be separate categories of demons) - is it "all in", or is there a bigger picture about what, e.g., demons and devils actually are and how they relate (or not) to the gods?
By the way, the cosmology of the drifting continent that is linked to other worlds through portals that actually stabilize its protection bubble is kind of cool - it's very easy to picture and yet something I haven't seen done before quite like this.
