Canuovae I'll carry on talking about dwarves and elves on the warhammer 2 thread.

The ambiguity around deities is something I do like about Harkovast quite a bit.
Well, Renard, you're not pig headed enough to be a Dwarf... and I'm not anywhere near an Elf. Too fat.
Also, I do think that light magic, like literal light magic, is a fun thing to have. Maybe I just like beam weapons...

Canouvea believes himself to be a superior being, who manipulates lesser races as part of his grand mystical design. It's just wight gain that makes him not an elf.
You could do beams with some of the powers that exist. Fire magic could do a heat beam.
It's interesting that in fantasy gods are always confirmed.
A theist once said to me that gods in Harkovast clearly exist, as everyone has magic powers and the magic powers are often tied ot their religions.
An atheist once told me that he thought the gods in harkovast were obviously not real as there are people who have magic without appealling to gods and the gods never directly show up.
It's not something I would ever confirm one way or the other.

You said that the Wizards were on to something when they said the world was created.

Hahha cause it was! By me! Harkovast is clearly too strangely ordered to have occured without someone planning it.

In world, however harkovast came about was not some normal process of geology and evolution and things. Its a magical world with strange history so whatever took place and whatever gods were or were not involved it would not be something that just occured through natural means.

Wouldn't it be fascinating if it was the other way around? I think gods in fantasy are often confirmed because this is what we expect of a magical setting. If magic can't give us some cognition of the world beyond reality, how would it be different with ordinary technology? Alternatively, if people had supernatural powers, why would they petition other uncertain supernatural beings?

Could be natural depending on the parameters of the universe itself. And how the parameters of a universe are naturally or unnaturally selected.

Yeah, but so far we haven't seen any parameters of Harkovast's universe that would deviate from our own enough to create such outcome. The races are just too separate and singular.

Well, we do have magic parameters. Old Magic, New Magic, etc... we just don't know how they work.

The origins of the world and the specific creation are not things I've worked out completely (yeah I know, lazy or what?) But some of the stuff about how the current state of Harkovast came about I have given some consideration.

Whoever created the world, they probably had to get a loan from the Weasel Goddess.

I think there are a few clues in Clash of Nations. Yet another reason to purpose the exciting Harkovast table top game!
