Ok so they have been acknowledged by the Delgon as gods but are they really? In the story it seems like they have displayed nothing of their divinity other then they are stompy and big. In fact one was wounded!
Interestingly they also seem to be detached from the delgon (well a couple of them anyway) so might not be Divine but more then happy to take the Delgon worship and hospitality.
They too like the Faburnii display a hatred of the Devanu (which is interesting) Also what about Alaim the outcast? Might we see him join the Faburnii empire? Or will he be a mercenary option? The potential for this Enarii is interesting!
What are peoples thoughts of these guys?

Good question. The fubarnii don't necessarily expect the enarii to be particularly magical gods - the enarii were once great fubarnii who were selected by the old gods to live on the moon of enar with them. At certain times you can see their campfires, and most priest-engineers within the empire would spend their time building large telescopes to study those fires, or building large signs on the ground so the enarii can see their prayers. You often see prayers written on rooftops as well, and some farmers even go so far as planting their crops carefully. They don't really expect the enarii to do much, but it's worth a try.

As to whether the belog/enarii are actually the enarii? That is something I'm not telling. Injuries are certainly not disproof of divinity. Even death wouldn't prove anything.

If anything the enarii have more of a hatred than most fubarnii. The fubarnii see them as a bit of a natural hazard - something that needs to be dealt with, but most don't really hate them. Roban would see every Devanu exterminated and wiped from the world.

You will find out more about alaim eventually.

For the moment, do feel free to discuss/argue your thoughts on the enarii. Not that any true Delgon citizen would question the gods, or the priests that intpret their will.

Ah it's interesting that perhaps they arn't magical as much as buff warriors. I would love to see perhaps some other Enarii move to the empire and declare the Delgon Belog false gods! wouldn't that be a plot twist :O
I also like the idea of the prayer roofs and crops thats a great piece of tabletop terrain waiting to happen!

Don't make the mistake of thinking of the enarii as dumb trolls though! They are clever individuals who clearly benefit from the experience theyve gained during their long long lives (one of the advantages of being almost immortal).

Yeah I understand that there are a few Enarii researchers as well! It would be great to see an academic Enarii model perhaps with some strategy related abilities...now the question; will the Enarii ever get mounts! though Roban does move really fast anyway Tongue

Yeah thats a good comparison! though Odin IIRC was extremely magical Tongue
They might be reincarnation gods. maybe If a Fubarnii suffers a terrible pain or something when it dies it reincarnates as some warrior to avenge the fallen? Like Roban.
Also Lord Furbanii your pic made me laugh! thats alot of Belan!

When fubarnii die they are cremated and their ashes scattered to the winds in the hope that some part of them might make it's way to Enar. Thats one of the reasons they dislike water so much - to be drowned or lost in water pretty much guarantees that no part of the body will make it to Enar.
