fact #14

to pretty much no ones surprise, verakins have a mostly adversarial relationship with the Broken Gods.

verakins are reasonably upset that these powerful beings with an incredible capacity to improve things try to fuck them over pretty much any opportunity they get. since they'd get blasted to smithereens if they tried to actually do anything about it, they've settled for a deep, seething contempt for the Broken Gods - and, by extension, much of the natural world.

this relationship goes both ways, of course. the Broken Gods have a vibrant array of dislikes for the verakins - hate, annoyance, disgust, contempt. some are appalled that anyone would dare try to make something that even comes close to the Broken Gods' ability to think logically. others are frustrated with just how damn difficult it is to design an ecosystem around sentient beings. but most are mad because they just didn't want thinking people in their little kingdom.

fact #12

the Broken Gods - called Vathakin by the verakins - are the mad gods of the forest.

some can be found wandering around the far edges of the forest, terrorizing whomever they come across. others are barely sentient, covering swaths of land with their confused and largely immaterial presence.

there's a few things common between all of them, though. glowing lines etched in the air, with angles sharper than should be possible. strange, colorful lights in the night. and, of course, stories of people meeting them and not coming back right - if they come back at all.
