Given recent changes regarding the little red moon known as Rudius, the Cobalt Soul wants to set the record straight with a deep lore dive into the history of Rudius and the Gods.
Starring our beloved Lore Keeper Dani Carr, we hope it serves as a helpful resource as ongoing updates with Ruidus continue to unravel.

That extra bit at the end gave me chills. This is happening *during* the flares and events of the last episode. The world may end and nobody knows until the Cobalt Soul warns everyone I love side lore drops like this, it really shows how the world grows outside of the scope of the game that we see. Also it's very nice to see this kind of official stuff so I don't have to parse the exact nature of things from across the episodes!

I think the world could change in a profound way but I don't think there's a serious threat of it ending all together. It seemed like Matt had this well planned out and only gave them a slim margin to stop Ludinus and the dice weren't on their side.. but I don't think this was ever meant to be a campaign ending moment.

​@@lollolo74yo99 It was originally Pathfinder's universe, but changed to D&D when they started streaming. However, they've been moving away from the WOTC brand for a while. For instance, the names of the Gods (Melora is now The Wildmother, along with The Raven Queen now being The Matron of Ravens) are rarely mentioned as they are WOTC, and instead it's their titles/new names. This also goes for races such as the Goliath, which is now a half-giant. Plus, there's nothing wrong with wanting to branch out and change a part of the world, as it does share the pantheon with The Forgotten Realms (I believe, don't actually know fully) especially if they have less pressure from WOTC entirely.

Can I just say that Matt Mercer is a genius. He set this whole thing in motion years ago and it's just been so fun to watch. Spoilers for up to C3 episode 51: Ignoring all of the cool moon stuff in C2 and Just starting in C3, the way he set up the events of episode 51 right from day 1 is so cool. Starting with the attack on the Ashari targeting Keyleth. Why Keyleth? Oh I don't know, Maybe they wanted to kill her, maybe they needed something from her, maybe they wanted to draw her out to use her as a trap so they could draw her divinely appointed Boyfriend out and use him as a lens in a machine to break a God eater out of a Moon prison! You know, the usual. So many little clues looking back, Ludinus being purposefully sloppy, the Followers wearing the Matron of Ravens' talismans despite not worshiping her, the Malleus Key missing a lens at such a late hour. It's so good!
@fhantum6519
@fhantum6519 7 ай бұрын
Yeah, it also really illustrates how ruthlessly smart Ludinus is. He very clearly doesn't mess around. He picks his fights very carefully, only picking fights he's certain he'll win. Or has backup plans if he's forced to fight. Ludinus is how to play a smart antagonist in my opinion. Though I haven't seen campaign one.

While I know it's a common fantasy trope, the Ruidusborn really reminds me of "The Curse of the Black Sun" from The Witcher

I love how this is supposed to take place on Exandria a little bit after the events of last week's episode, a little bit of world building that isn't needed but more then welcome.
