AidanK2002 for Illithiad (Ancient God)
Illithiad was the true creator of the world the players are in, but growing bored of always knowing the future, (s)he fractured the world he spent so long ruling so (s)he couldn't predict anymore. Now (s)he quietly observes, letting the world surprise them.
(Distraught, Distant.)
"Why am I here?"This is a question mortals ask often, after all, I have made them. Should I tell them the truth? Could they handle it? I, their god, did not want to be alone. I sculpted ants from clay, made them smile, made them weep. They worship me for their gifts and curse me for their misfortune, but it's true nonetheless that I am in fact behind it. I don't control them- not all of them. They carry out my "will" and kill in my name. Ask for my forgiveness, and plead for guidance.
Can they know it's all a game? Their very existence was to amuse me? I, their all powerful god, did not want to be alone. I who have tasted every drink, and seen every sight. I did not give them free will, I gave them the ability to create, and gave up my ability to see. Only then could I be surprised.
Could I tell a mortal that their creator wanted only to see an ant construct a hill?
Hi and thanks for contributing to the project! This was certainly different than I was expecting, but you never know what you'll get, that's the beauty of the Casting Call Club. The concept is pretty cool, but I don't think it carries that distant and distraught mood that it's meant to convey. I'm still very grateful nonetheless for your time, and would be happy to hear more from you!
No problem, and yeah it was hard to pull of that kind of distant and distraught feeling you were going for, plus it doesn't help my voice is naturally high pitched so i had to use some editing to try and give off the powerful god voice. Best of luck for your project!
