Slay the Princess spoilers under the cut because im diseased

I have such mixed feelings on the Slay the Princess Narrator.

As a character, I love him, He's such a tragic antagonist, warped by his own fear of death to the point that he literally tore the cycle of life apart, and in a twist of irony, he killed himself to make sure his plan would work, leaving nothing but Echoes of who He once was. His being is scattered across worlds in a vain attempt to rid the world of death, but he never stopped to consider if this was what was best for the world, never considered if everyone else would be content with a life of stagnation and devoid of the ability to change, He never considered that other people might not be as terrified of dying as He was. There's so many questions about him that might never be answered because the original "Him" is dead. All that's left are mere gusts in the wind, holding on to the embers of his plan and fated to be destroyed if The Long Quiet decides to awaken to his godhood. Even His Echoes are condemned to the same fate He tried so hard to erase.

But as a person, I fucking hate him he's such a whiny little bitch like SHUT UP bro you sound like that kid on the playground that would always change the rules of the game so they could never lose only to go "i dont wanna play anymore" when they lose anyway. Fucking grow up. 😭

Something looks a lil backwards here

Some of the lore for the D&D Slay The Princess AU:

In the beginning, there were only two gods---The Long Quiet, the god of constants, emotion, stability, connections, and comfort, and The Shifting Mound, the goddess of change, transformation, beginnings, endings, and time. Together, they were able to spin stories into worlds, shaping entire universes to exist side by side in the Material Plane... but every one of these universes was eventually fated to end, for you cannot have a story that lasts forever.

A man, whose name has been lost to time, grew bitter at this cycle, believing death to be a curse. As his universe began to take its steps towards its ending, in his desperation, he managed to achieve godhood, becoming The Narrator---the crow god of knowledge, fate, and tricksters. He tore The Long Quiet and The Shifting Mound apart, banishing The Shifting Mound to languish underground while The Long Quiet was left to mourn in the stars. Legends say that The Narrator intended to trick The Long Quiet into killing his love, but he failed in the end. Death still exists---you can never fully rid the world of death---but as long as change and constants are separated, no other worlds can be made, meaning that the world we find ourselves in now is entirely alone, and bound to the cruel laws of fate.

In the wake of this, new gods emerged to help guide the mortals through their confusion. The first was The Apotheosis, the goddess of justice, retribution, power, and light, who watched over the afterlife of those who were good in life. The second was The Fury, the goddess of anger, war, slaughter, and destruction, who watched over the afterlife of those who were wicked in life. The third was The Wild, the goddess of shadows, secrets, mystery, and sorrow, who dwelled deep in the tangled woods of the Feywild. The fourth was The Thorn, the goddess of love, redemption, discovery, nature, and growth, who lived in the Feywild alongside her counterpart. And the fifth was The Grey, the dual-natured goddess who guided souls to the afterlife---wearing white and burning with hope if you were good in the end, and wearing black and drowning in despair if you were wicked.

There are four other beings who some consider gods and some consider monsters, depending on who you are and how much terror you possess in your heart. The Eye of the Needle is the queen of the dragons, and while she has no use for mortals and only cares for gold, you will earn her respect and undying aid if you can defeat her in a fight. The Wraith was once human, but has long since left that behind in favor of being a lich, and she will rob you of your will and turn you into her puppet if you dare cross her or get in her way. The Mother of Clarity is the queen of the vampires, and though she and her children are feared and hunted everywhere you go, she will listen to you if you are willing to plead. And The Den is the mother of all fearsome beasts that stalk in the shadows, and she obeys no order other than the one of the hunt.

That's all I got for now, but I do have some ideas for the Voices, so... :)
