Another lil lore Q, are any of the other 10 siblings of December and July gods as well, and just not currently listed in the Compendium for patron picking, or are December and July the only ones who were granted godhood? and I'm Definitely Not just asking because I want to see what my birth month's corresponding facet face's divine domain is, if anything. Certainly not. Additionally, with at least facet faces like December and July being gods, what's the impact that this has had on the public opinion regarding concepts like having birth stones anyway? Like do people treat them the same way that our society does already, or are they valued Even More and made a Bigger Deal than they are now (ig treating them like zodiac sun signs, iykwim, but likely even more universally popular because the gods are Very Observable in this setting)? So all twelve of the siblings are family related gods! I thought it would be cute if they were all themed together djgfjdgf I didn't write them all out because woof that would be a lot to wedge into the compendium but! You may have the full list: - January (Aka Jan) - God of Found Family
- February (Aka Bru) - God of Siblings
- March - God of Extended Family
- April - Goddess of Familial Love (She gets to straddle the line of being a love god And a family god!)
- May - Goddess of Aunts
- June - Goddess of Children
- July - Goddess of Motherhood
- August - God of Cousins
- September (Aka Tember) - God of Grandparents
- October (Aka Toby) - Goddess of Family (She is technically the boss of everyone else hehe)
- November (Aka Novvie) - Goddess of Adoption
- December (Aka Dess) - God of Fatherhood
Obviously these aren't All the family gods that exist, but in terms of this specific set of siblings these are the bases we have covered! Birthstones are definitely easier to recall I'd say dashfgjhdf but they're not a crazy huge deal still. I'd say there's just the added superstition of "Okay so since you were born in x month you'll have an easier time with this aspect of your family". Cue perfectionist mommy vloggers flexing by going "Omg as y'all know I was born in July so obvs I'm such a good mom ))))" or "My hubbie is a December baby, can't wait for him to become a dad!!!"

Lore q! Does the revelation that Day created the sun and the earth change anything we know about modern science? On that note, how did the Revisitation change humanity's understanding of science? What is the current state of technology? Were any theories shattered? Are there any popular conspiracies? Scientists staring at Astorias like "Hey... hey what was your wife cooking with the dinosaurs and why did they all die?" Jk, jk, but generally science is still very pursued because what the past prior to the gods has taught us is that Day gave humanity all the tools it would ever need within the earth, the thing is just finding those tools. Like finding electricity, figuring out the laws of gravity, advanced maths, fucking nuclear power, all that shit was made possible by her and the way she assembled the world. To stop the pursual of scientific breakthroughs because "Oh there's magic and shit now" is like a disservice to her and her vision. So in a way science can be viewed as a spiritual pursuit in this age, a way to get closer to her by understanding the breadth of her brilliance. Technology is more or less the same btw! As for conspiracies there's definitely gonna be bullshit takes, from folks claiming magic proves the earth could still be flat, to "because science still works Day is 100% not dead", to "Hey Astorias secretly has a meteor in his back pocket that he will use to wipe us out one day, randomly" people can and will make the nuttiest leaps in logic. Esp when in this day and age any gaps in logic can be waved away with "there's probably some magic that explains it" "Okay, what magic?" "I don't know the precise type but I'm sure it exists"

So we know that humans currently can't enter the afterlife bc Acer got shanked, but what about the gods and the other denizens of the Astorlands? Where do they go when they die? Do they have their own afterlife lounge, or do they get dropped into the aether sea or something.

Do they have their own afterlife lounge, or do they get dropped into the aether sea or something. So there isn't one blanket thing that happens when an Astorlands creature dies. Each species has a different thing that happens to them when they die. Some return to their point of inception (A Moonlight's soul returns to their moon, for example), some reincarnate, some simply cease to exist because they're devoid of a genuine soul, some become a new species, on and on. Death is much more complex for them and because of that each species regards it in very different ways. For gods their deaths follow the rules of their species, they don't get any kind of special treatment or exceptions.

Oh! I have a lore question! Have the gods addressed any of the Big problems facing humanity (i.e. inequality, climate change, war, hunger, etc.), and if they have, how so?

They are actively working and making strides. But as mentioned previously, their philosophy is not one of force so while they do their best to tackle systemic issues, ultimately if people give them pushback or flat out refuse the help they can't forcibly implement things. This state of being is also alluded to on Rhea's page: humans desperately trying to offset what they're doing and asking her for help, but refusing to apply any of the fixes that would inconvenience them.
