Notes[]
The first time a Gods War gate appears, you receive the following report:
| “ | A world-hole leading to the divine realm has been spotted to the <cardinal direction>. Our ancestors could only reach the Other Side by performing a rite. This was dangerous enough. Now it's possible to step directly into the Gods War, but that is not a good or safe thing. Under assault by Chaos, this holy plane of existence is damaged and unstable. Journeys there offer significant reward--but much greater risk than exploring the world around us. Some openings to the Gods War appear for a few moments only, but omens say this one will remain for a while.
|
” |
You get a clue as to which two gods will be available to you when the gate is first opened. The clue is which runes it resonates. The Earth and Death Runes belong to Balurga, the Harmony Rune is Arroin's, the Man and Mastery Runes are Beren's, the Beast Rune is Dostal's, the Fire Rune is Elmal's, the Illusion Rune is Eurmal's, the Wilderness Rune is Inilla's, the Cow Rune is Uralda's, the Bull Rune is Urox's, the Horse Rune is Redalda's, and the rune no one recognizes belongs to the Cragspider.
If you miss to send a party of questers into the gate before it closes, you may receive a variation of the following report:
| “ | The gateway to the Gods War we heard of a while back has now closed. I hear that a champion of the <Other Clan>s clan used it to travel to the divine realm. <His/Her> party was never seen again. | ” |
