ASOIAF lore is hilarious because the books themselves are very low fantasy and could even pass for historical fiction at times, then you learn in the lore there's an island of Neanderthal whalers and King Kong exists and lives in a cursed ancient city deep in the jungle.
An entity found alone in the Far Plane. The entity seems to do nothing in its environment except exist. Its relationship with the plant-like organisms that grow around it is currently unknown.
@AngrenostH@ChazakielDoremi Well if you’d love to DM me I’d love to hear more of your explanation. And yeah there are a certain subset of very pretentious and annoying fans that these books have.
@puppycelebrity Dreamfall is a great game but it's actually a sequel to an even better game. The Longest Journey. Which is one of the last and best Point & Click adventure games ever made.
@AngrenostH@ChazakielDoremi Also you’ve really made me want to read The Nightland and I will try to find the unabridged version. Have you read any other dying earth books btw? Like Zothique by Clark Ashton Smith or Dying Earth by Jack Vance? I wanna check those out too.
@AngrenostH@ChazakielDoremi The thing I think Wolfe excels at is his descriptions of how stories and people’s understanding of the past changes over time as knowledge is lost or morphs. There’s been some really fun “aha” moments I’ve had when I realize what something actually is.
@AngrenostH@ChazakielDoremi I haven’t noticed the libertarian perspective you’re reffering to so far but that’s interesting. Could you please elaborate some? Also Night Land has been on my to read list for years after I read House on the Borderland
