i'm finally getting caught up on cr4 e31 and man. the clear influences of the player's real life culture in their characters (and in the worldbuilding in brennan's case) is amazing and adds such a richness. like thaisha is so clearly influenced by like. black american folk culture Especially with the orcish revolutionaries. idk if liam is irish but he's at least running with a lot of the irish american working class stuff brennan injected into the world in terms of the hal and the culture of the round. and azune's whole bit about not having anyone to speak his native language to and his disconnect to his own identity (diaspora narrative). i Love when real world cultures are reflected in fiction it's so good.

It's been months and I still can't help but think Brennan calling the gods in cr4 the Shapers is a callback to Zerxus/Luis saying that the prime deities came to Exandria and they Shaped they didn't actually create anything when talking to Asmodeus.

recently watched Exu Calamity and had the very same thought!

Patia Por’co staring down her end and deciding “All the knowledge of the world means nothing if it dies with you”. Sending it off into the world hoping against hope it will reach its target, resting her hopes on the next generation. “It’s all on you smart girl”. And it Did reach her, and when the time came Maya ensured it was passed on, impressed upon the next holder the importance of it and this continued despite constant attempts to destroy it, because hundreds of years ago, a woman decided in her final hours that she would do what she could to keep history alive so future generations could learn from it and hopefully. Hopefully. They could continue the work despite the end of an age.
