Soo Campaign 2 Ruidus Lore Drop?
So ive been rewatching campaign 2 agan for no real reason, and got to the party reaching Uthodurn, where they meet up with a Cobalt Soul researcher looking into Ruidus and the various myths and stories that exist around it. This is episode 74 , and I actually think some of these ideas are really cool.
Some theories tie the being as a pre creation entity, having existed before the world was created, possibly being older than the primordials(?), while another theory is it being something extraplanar, that didn't exist in this region and somehow came here (Weird extraplanar stuff? Possible spelljammer campaign turn?) , and the third would be the most boring one (imo), of it being some evil plan of one of the betrayer gods.
Admittedly, I havent read any of the books, but i do like a lot of these ideas, I do wonder what the larger arc and story is for this campaign in particular. Matt has always been so careful with these lore elements, and we have seen this in Keyleth's mom being found an entire campaign later, so i think it would be quite fun to see this get tied into the campaign at some point.
How interesting would it be that some whacky cobal soul monk living in Uthodurn a campaign ago had the right idea.
