no fish in erudin??

[Crylol]

97% of tinkerers say it's due to climate change so the gnomes have suggested a 40% tax hike for Erudin. All other regions are unaffected.

Filthy erudites have ruined their homeland. They’ll not ruin mine!

Pretty sure its because prexus worshippers (aka most studies) believe fish are sacred. Therefore they don't vie them as something to eat. That would be blasphemous and bring great shame to The Ocean Lord.

Most erudites* not studies

Would be silly imo if Prexus ppl were like "don't kill the fish!!"

bc they're supposed to be fisherpeople and sailor and w/e

Well, it makes a kind of logical consistent sense, in the world of Norath.

I mean, obviously IRL any culture of people that evolved next to the ocean is going to depend on fish from that ocean to survive, and their religious beliefs would have evolved around that, so they never would have gods that tell them not to eat fish ...

... but IRL also wouldn't have dragons ... or actual gods that interact with the world for that matter.

Mighty presumptuous of you to say irl doesn't have a real God interacting with us every day.

Rather then get into a religious debate, let's just say my definition of "interacting" means making something happen that wouldn't otherwise happen according to the laws of physics. Norath's gods can definitely do that (hell, even non-God casters can do that in Norath).

Real world god(s) can't, or at lest haven't had any documentation of such for thousands of years.

The fishermen are just chumps with no religious training asking Prexus (who they know to be the great god of fish ... and that's about where their religious education ends) "hey can you please have some fish bite today?"

The Erudites are members of a religion which venerates the fish god. They know how to make their diety happy, and it involves not eating his fishy creations [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
