New Amascut lore dropped, this time more centered on her mother (well, for some value of mother, like if you have a pet cat, are you that cat's mother?) Elidinis.
And from what I have read so far... it doesn't really contradict my impression of Elidinis as an absent mother, but maybe a mother who didn't care until someone put a restraining order on her. Well, not her specifically but the effect was still the same. Then she cared so much that she went world hopping looking for a magical doohickey and extincted a whole species because they genocided the creator of the magical doohickey and her many many many children.
But do we see Elidinis come back after the restraining order was lifted? No, not really. But the magical doohickey was a reality warping thing that lies about being a reality warping thing because there is no such thing as magic oh shit oh fuck is that a god killing us what the fuck™, so the story writers can just pull a "Actually she was hiding in plain sight the whole time!" plot.
And I haven't even gotten to the part of the lore drop that talks about Amascut herself. Apparently Elidinis was the first Goddess of Rebirth until that was delegated to Amascut? And now we're getting a different perspective on what happened between Amascut and the Elder Godess Mah.
This pantheon is like a found family gone horribly wrong.
