Jun 16, 2004 15:08:53 Yes, my friends, the Mystaran-style Immortals have returned, albeit in diminished form, in the world of Dawnforge: Crucible of Legend. I'm almost done reading through both the corebook and the Age of Legend players companion. Both are really good, and posit an interesting, Immortal-ruled cosmology!

Has anyone else here read Dawnforge, and/or are playing it now? If so, how would you compare the immortals of Eadar to the Immortals of Mystara?

Hi,
I haven't had a chance to look at Dawnforge yet, but I have heard lots of good things about the setting. Immortals eh? Must be good then!

IMC I use the same rules for Immortals as Deities and Demigods use, just beefed up with the Epic Level Rules. I really wish they'd publish a book that brought those two together.

What are the immortals of Eadar like?

Essentially, the world of Eadar is still young and in the process of cooling from the fires of the dawn of time. No one knows exactly who made Eadar, and maybe no one made it, the world simply springing forth from the Void in a magical explosion of light and color and fire. But as it is so young and primal, Eadar's magic flows through it like a river breaking a dam. Some beings, both planar and native alike, have learned to tap this immense energy and become one of the legendary immortals.

Gifted with eternal life and the power to grant cleric spells (along with several other nifty, epic-level tricks), immortals are totally unlike the gods. Eadar's immortals seek only solace and introspection, with a few notable examples, such as Zalaph, the patron immortal of the yuan-ti. They do not need worship, and in fact, most immortals shun it and all the trappings that go with it. Some immortals are collossal entities of pure cosmic might, while others could be defeated by a 10th-level party of skilled adventurers.

Jul 31, 2011 12:43:12 I wasn't impressed. In fact the writers created more questions than answers about Immortality.

First and foremost the immortals presented are implied to be Celestials if you read the book and look at their stats. As for there not being any true gods, the book also frequently mentions that the "star-gods" are true divinities who some of the immortals are trying become.

If there are no gods, then why refer frequently to the star-gods? If immortals are simply generic Celestials or Angelic (ala Deva, Planetar, Solar) beings, we don't know because the author keeps throwing around the words star-gods, deities and Celestial Hosts. Although like I said earlier in one point one of the immortals is trying to become a true god like the star-gods, which is contrary to the initial premise of what the book says does not exist.
