#i KNOW it's probably going to be Nocticula but i think it would be hysterical if besmara made herself a core deity while no one was looking

How do you feel about Gorum dying?

-------

Ambivalent! A sentiment I feel that Paizo might share, and which may have guided the decision.

In my mind, he was one of the "safest" options to kill off; he's connected to no overarching storyline (with his faith's most recent in-story appearance involving his followers losing), has no particular big plots or far-reaching schemes I'm aware of, and most damningly he doesn't have a web of relationships like many of the other gods (and as of 2e Gods and Magic, his list of "allies" is empty), leaving few to mourn his fall in any particular way that will cause any of the other gods to change dramatically.

The results of him dying and spreading Mythic power all over the world will do more to change the setting than the fact he died; there's almost none who will put flowers on his grave, yet the new vacancy among the core gods and his titanic inheritance will most assuredly cause a stir. I almost feel bad for Our Lord in Iron, but I'm sure, in some fashion, he would be proud to know that his death is going to cause a cosmic war!
