Nyarlathotep.
Another exile who thinks like Kurak. So be it.
You asked a question and got an answer.
Nyarlathotep is the central force behind many things. He is the Maelstorm, the voice within the Staff of the Triumvirate, he helped forge the bracelets, and he is the patron of sorcery within the Exiled Lands. If you dive deeper into the lore thereās also the theory that the Exiled Lands dwell within the Dreamlands, of which his power is even more prevalent.
By comparison all other gods are puny and weak. Thatās objective fact, not opinion.
Nyarlathotep!
All the others are just very powerful Outer Dark entities, but Nyarlathotep (a.k.a. The Giant-Kingsā Moonbeam Messenger, The Serpentmenās Haunter of The Dark, The Maelstrom of The Isle of Siptah) is an Outer God.
Or maybe itās Ubbo-Sathla a.k.a. Abhoth, a being that made every living thing on Earth? Itās still active, since we can meet The Emissary of Abhoth in the Volcano biome.
If I could count the times this has happened to me⦠even if I caught her, weād just sit there disappointed.
Derketo.
Just because I love her the most.
Nyarlathotep is not a fair contestant, considering there is a non-zero chance that all of the avatars in the game are actually just him. Only gods with an associated religion should be compared.
Some of the gods are more well-known than others.
Some have fewer available details.
Some, even less.
If he didnāt exist in the first place, the worship Cimmerians give to him might cause something from the Outer Dark to assume Cromās mantle.
Itās like the one of the early bosses in the Age of Conan: Kothar-Wa, the Bat God. The local Picts worshipped the Bat God - an entity that didnāt exist.
The AoC main character was a person possessed by a demonic spirit (implied to be an Acheronian soul) before being exorcized by Kalanthes. The disembodied demon fled into the jungles of Tortage and found the Acheronian ruins, inhabited by aforementioned Picts. So it hijacked their religious beliefs, assumed a corporeal form and became the real, existing Bat God.
Your characted is later called out for it by some locals and sent to ārectify the problemā and kill the monster.
Oh, that takes me back. Good times. Except for the bad times. Oh, Funcom, so much enthusiasm and so little, uhm, else.
If make-belief-gods are ursurped by demons, one has to wonder: Why didnāt this happen to Crom? At least so far? There seem to be enough evil spirits roaming around.
Maybe there is an actual Crom preventing that. Or maybe no demon is interested in portraying an absent, invisible god that doesnāt take sacrifices.
Either way, the odds for Crom avatars in the Exiled Lands seems low from a lore perspective.
Well there is Crom Cruach, but he is from expanded works and we currently have no evidence from Funcom that he is canon.
If Crom Cruach is Crom, then he supposedly is a deceiver who promises his followers eternal life in exchange for the sacrifice of human infants.
