Fellow Scribes,

it has come to my attention that among the latest Ed-tweets, in the one on swear-sayings of the various religions he is casually dropping names of god-related (favored servitors, Chosens, relatives, ...) of some deities. Some are well known, some I might have heard before, but a few I'm drawing a blank. Can anyone help place them?

Reposting the relevant parts of the Ed-lore here:

...

So for Mystra: “Elminster Farruking Aumar!”
For Chauntea: “Janness Farruking Harvestmother!”
For Bane: “Iyachtu Farruking Xvim!”
For Shar: “Dazhra Farruking Headless!”

...

For Eilistraee: Kazra Farruking Louantrar!

...

[...] that sort of oath is what other mortals swear by, citing a divine servitor (or literal son or daughter) of a deity.

...

For Myrkul: Ketheric Farruking Thorm!

...

For Lolth: Danifae Farruking Yauntyrr!

...

For Eilistraee: Qilué Farruking Veladorn!

...

It isn't catalogued into Ed's Twitter replies thread yet, but Ed was already asked of Kazra Louantrar;

quote:
Kazra Louantrar was a Chosen of Eilistraee during the Second Sundering. Remembered for leading drow of the Dancer in battle against Lolth priestesses, and vanquishing them. She died heroically in the battle, so worshippers of Eilistraee sometimes swear by her name.

Thanks AJA!

I suppose Dazhra Headless and Ketheric Thorm are likewise previously unknown characters.

Ketheric Thorm is one of the NPCs of Baldur's Gate 3. He is a Chosen of Myrkul and one of the bosses in the game. It seems Myrkul really liked Ketheric, because if you kill him, Myrkul gets really pissed.

Instead of seeking change, you prefer a void, merciless abyss of a world...

I hate when games make the music so damn loud and then have someone whispering in the background that you'd really like to hear.

Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

Wow, Eilistraee's worshipers have 2 swears to go by! They must curse a lot. Poor Qilue...another victim of bad writing.
