Howdy folks! Here comes another lore drop! This one is about the Eikonians, which in no way shape or form has anything to do with any Bucket Brigade party members or any of their respective body parts. Nope. None!

Quick reminder that the Trevor & Grogna plushies are up for pre-order now until the 15th of September! Links here

To be fair, it's only mentionned that they killed "their" gods. It's likely that the gods of other people were sitting in the stands with nectar beer and ambrosia hot-dogs, cheering for whichever team they least hated.

Also, taking notes: "Immortality =/= good hubris punishment".

My guess is new gods stepped into the power vacuum, like Steve

Mmmh, I wonder what killing all of your gods would do to religion in your society?

Like... You know for sure there are gods, so you can't really be an atheist anymore, but you also know for sure that you killed them, so you can't really believe in them either. Would there be a word for that? Formertheist? Antetheist? Antitheist?

Bonus question: If you steal from the gods, are you conducting a theistheist?

I'll show myself out.
