I tried reading this and fell asleep 3 times. Some people like reading. Some like playing.	Posted by juo#0098 on Nov 11, 2020, 9:16:11 PM Quote this Post
Good read. I like the idea of the beast supressing the power of the gods and the virtue gems basically being his ... sediment, dispersing these supressed powers. And now all the humans are smearing his droppings over their clothes.	Posted by Bananaplasm#4174 on Nov 11, 2020, 9:20:07 PM Quote this Post
" DangerSmoog wrote: Thanks for more lore! Enjoy learning about it (also Kitten Cat Noodles videos are awesome nice shoutout) My question though is about the nature of "magic", for lack of a better word, in the world of POE (Not sure if the world as a whole has a name) It seems most "magic" comes from the virtue gems/tears as the vaal knew them, but what about all the times Sin tells us about his escapades before his creation of the beast. Is the magic the gods use different? Did they ONLY receive magic upon "ascending" due to the adoration of people? In the case of Yugul it seems he ascended DUE to his magical prowess. I guess the nature of "magic" and "powers" in the world seem confusing. Then you get to the elder who's magic seems entirely different from anything else seen so far. Long rambling post sorry! In short I'd love some sort of more insight on the nature of magic in the POE universe! From my understanding the gods got their "magic" from however each of them ascended. The magic we use is extremely similar to the gods because the virtue gems are fragments of their powers that leaked out of the beast while they were sealed within. I recommend watching the lore videos from kitten cat noodle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loVRzJ30FzY&ab_channel=KittenCatNoodle	Posted by IonDrako#4482 on Nov 11, 2020, 9:51:47 PM Quote this Post

I'm so glad GGG mentioned them. I think you're totally right about the Harbinger lore btw.	Posted by pastooleo1#1489 on Nov 11, 2020, 10:18:45 PM Quote this Post
Did Sin create the beast before or after the fall of the Vaal?	Posted by Nyarlathotepian#0188 on Nov 11, 2020, 10:52:08 PM Quote this Post

I wish POE lore is less fragmented and has a more coherent thread running through them. It will convert your forum titles into decorative square badges that use the space next to your forum posts more economically so that you can show off an unlimited number of them at any one time. - GGG, 2018 (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3573673)	Posted by Jerle#2906 on Nov 11, 2020, 11:52:58 PM Quote this Post
