Hello all, this is Armon. It has been a moment, but I'm back for another Wiki Wednesday. This was a long time in the making - today we will be showcasing Torrieth Godspeaker, the founder of the Ravelian Church. Also, a special thanks to Atlas for being the driver of this lore.

So what is the TLDR?

• Torrieth is now a Star Elf from Aelnar
• Like before, she is archeologist and explorer, though she now has a far closer cultural connection to the Precursors due to her heritage
• The Riavansa which destroyed her birthplace (combined with the discovery of and communion with the God Fragment) leads to a spiritual awakening within Torrieth.
• Finding a place in the Ravelian Society, she seeks answers to both the tangible and intangible
• Despite finding success and eventually becoming the leader of the Ravelians, her repeated exposure to powerlessly watching suffering (culminating in the First Corinite War) leads her to deep introspection and a secluded retreat to commune with the Fragment
• When she emerges, Torrieth summons the various leaders of the Society to propose a new direction, one that elevates the pursuit of spiritual understanding to the same level as the pursuit worldly knowledge
• The resulting lively debate is contested, but ends with Torrieth and her supporters prevailing leading to what would become the Ravelian Church
• Torrieth's adventurers were not quite finished though as the discovery of "the Gates of Heaven" which are mysteriously locked in the Celestial Plane leads her resign from her a post and seek out the final answers to the her questions. What happened to her is unknown.

I know Ravelianism, as foundational as it is to the lore, is one that has been more than a bit of a black box. I hope you all enjoy the lore developed and leave some questions and comments for us below!

Very cool to see Anbennar in a totally different context!

Hello, everyone! Earlier, we got to see the results of the community ranking of Anbennar's 354 Mission Trees. However, when looking at the big picture, there is that can be missed. Contributors can see their content scored, but rarely get any comment on why. Players can see what are the most popular tags, but have little way of discussing or critiquing. This is where this series come into play.

Around every week, I will host a discussion on one the regions in alphabetical order. I'll have some questions to help facilitate the conversation.

This is meant to be a semi-serious discussion. While some silliness is fine, low effort joke comments like "I hate Al*nics" will be removed!

Congrats! The Dark Descendants have granted you the power to set the fate of one region/tag. Don't worry about the cosmic costs of these actions! Instead, wave you metaphorical wand and show us a taste of Their power.

Another Wednesday, another Wiki showcase. Today, I am especially excited to present to you a massive expansion of orcish lore before the Greentide. Many have often wondered, what the orcs were doing before the true Dookanson came along. Were they just unga-bunga, smash dwarf for thousands of years? Are there even any clans that existed before? Were there any cool characters?

In order, no, yes, yes.

Alright, more seriously we have two sections amounting to over two thousands words of lore. The first is "the Age of Heroes", a Diadochi inspired period set during the height of CK3. While primarily written for future hooks in lore (CK3 Anbennar when?), it is a taste of what stories could be in the future.

The second is filled with some more concrete content. We have an orcish lich, a Belisarius and Justinian analogue, and the scene from which Korgus emerges.

For those of us who prefer pictures to get a sense of vibes, let me offer you the banners of Skullhowl and Greycrown.

Thanks Jojo for these sick flags.

Interesting how similar this looks to Shattered Crown...

WIP, this is not canon until its on the wiki

Just a little teaser for lore heads. You might recall that orcs got some lore love recently and I'm working with folks to keep that train going.

TLDR:

1. CK3 era orcs have an Age of Diadochi

2. Before Korgus we had a Dookanson 'claimant' who was literally a lich (well more like a talking skull)

Okay, silly title aside, I am once again looking to plod along with Cyranvar MT rework. Due to Vic3 duties, I have been a bit disconnected from EU4. So I want to hear from the people, what **mechanics** are you enjoying? What do you wish to see more of? What do you dislike?

Let's set aside whether or not it is happening and just partake in some fun speculation and opinion posting. What do you think Riven should be like?

• Galaxy brain set up and comboing?
• Easy to pick up, hard to master?
• Simple and fundamental?
• Something else?

Personally, I am kind of fond of the idea of "easy to pick up, hard to master". She has the rule of cool factor to draw people in and, in league, has let people just fall into a rabbit hole of experimentation.

Damn the artist did a great job here...
