The theoretical dead god linked to Araumycos and the fallen empire of the sun elves in the high forest above

i mean given the prominent resident of the prism where this is found, i kind of assumed it was maybe gith.

I can’t shake the thought that popped up when you mentioned the fractured jaw. It’s mentioned so often in act 1. At the end of ceremorphosis, the jaw splits open to make space for four large tentacles

3:39 is no one gonna say it?👀

Oh it’s Sukuna

In a realm of stasis it is odd that there is only a skeleton. Something had to rip out every piece of tissue and scrap of clothing yet deam the jewelry undesirable. The artists probably just went for the cool factor but imagining a carrion swarm of smaller beings consuming a divine being to an unknown end is also rad.

This one is huge - must have been a titan god

I mean the whole point of a dead god is that nothing remembers it not even other gods then we cant know its name bc its name doesnt exist anymore

Hey fuck you buddy you have a good day

My innitial thought is the original vlakith, due to her connection to the gith, the crown, connection to the illithid and tadpoles respectably and her death seen as she technically was no god but was so gifted in magic that she could come accross as one it would make sense that after her death that magic would spill out plus her iconography being of other cultures too, theres an argument for a few gods but seen as part of the gith story revolves around a vlakith too it would make sense story wise as well as the fact that the gith cresh is in one of the sun gods' temples, lathandor only issue being that she wouldn't have had 4 arms

bro thank you

One fun connection to Amaunator is that he was the only god that Jergal remembers fondly from netherese times, according to the entry on Jergal in TSR #9563 Powers and Pantheons

I assumed it was Vlaakiths original mortal body 🤷

Isn't it vecna?

I see only two eyes, can someone please explain

this big skelly in the astral plane is probably my favorite location in the whole game

Could be any number of dead gods, In NW2 (Still under the same creators as BG2) there was a similar environment in the astral plane. However in that case the god was named and it was Myrkul.

1:55 bro I care the most about this , why would you do this to me

It's clearly BOOOAL just look at it

Nerull maybe? He was a god of death like Jergal or Kurtulmak, the kobold’s long lost god, he is lost so he might be dead

what about the link to the gith?

Has any Forgotten Realms media acknowledged which dead god was used for Tu'narath either? There appear to be many fallen gods' remains just floating around in the Astral Plane.

You hear violence because there is violence. Specifically, Orpheus's honor guide attacking it. This is what happens when you make a video but didn't play the game.

I figure there's no way for us to know even how many dead gods there are, let alone their names. Even if you read the Book of Dead Gods it doesn't actually tell you names

It is absolutely just a copy of Myrkul's corpse from Mask of the Betrayer. It isn't meant to be Myrkul I don't think, that was just clearly the visual inspiration, whether directly or indirectly.

It's him, it's Baldur Gate

its a long forgotten dead god

As soon as I saw the fanged dead god skeleton wearing the boastful crown in game, I immediatley thought of Velsharoon. His corpse had been ejected into the Astral Plain when Dweomerheart was destroyed, and then The Simbul travelled to the Astral Plain do permenently kill him by engulfing his body in flame (Simbul side bar of Aglarond section in Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide). It could explain the Chasm Moss, since Velsharoon lived underground, and Weavemoss, as he was a deity of magic, although it wouldn't explain the four arms or unknown symbols.

Gods die if they are forgotten so it makes sense that we don't have an answer. Knowning ruins the tragic mystery behind dead gods.

I always thought it was that dying, but never dead, god from Neverwinter nights 2 dlc?

I always assumed it was gith. Orpheus's mother

1:55 I did care about that actually, that's why I'm watching a video on a dead god to begin with

I dont care about the lore. I dont think they decided on a spacific god. Just the idea that it was a dead one. Its more bullshit mysterybox logic. They dont care

But jergal is in the game and fine.. withers is jergal, it's revealed in the ending. Withers gave the dead three their powers, as jergal gave up his spot of God of the dead to these E mortals because he was tired of being a god.

"You have earned the title: God Slayer."

Arent dead gods supposed to be "unknown" ? If anybody knows about them and believes in them, they might not be truly dead, but once they are forgotten, they are truly dead.

I always thought it was one of the 100+ Vlaakiths, It's so intresting seeing it on the map and from diffrent angles. I'M SO DESPRATE TO KNOW!!!

Before i played, i was so fucking excited to seeing the skull of a dead god. I got curious and found the 'Withers is Jergal' theory before playing as well, so my first thought was Myrkul. I was so ficking excited to find the remains my Kalach-cha left behind.

10:27 don't act like you had this grand discovery when it's literally a simple google search with the date attached to it greatly pre-dating your video

lolth

I just jumped to Mother Gith. The fact that Orpheus was trapped in there was just salt in the wound.

3D artist at Larian Studios: Yeah this'll look really sick

I think the ambience sound is like that because of the constant attack from the gith to free orpheus

Just a fun knowledge drop. It could also be a titan or one of the enormous whit amount of gods that Thrazidun killed.

The god my lv 20 Severance(homebrew subclass) Fighter had bested in a one v one.

It wouldn't have been Bhaal, since he died during the Time of Troubles, Cyric killed him on a bridge

Have you tried speaking to the ded?

What about the book of dead gods in that is around wither's tomb?

Could it be Mystral?

Even before seeing this I subscribed to the Jergal theory. Not because I have any hard evidence, but because it fits thematically with the rest of the game. Jergal is a dead god. Not literally, but he is no longer a god in the most understood sense. What we see is the remnants of his divinity, and what he left behind when his power was given to the dead three, who (spoiler alert jic) are the main forces behind the ENTIRE plot of the game. With this in mind, Jergal is at the center of everything in BG3, so it only makes sense that he's the literal central set piece of the area metaphorically representing the game's conflict. It's also entirely possible that Jergal DID die, but that didn't quite matter to him as death is his whole domain. Doesn't matter anyway as it's all metaphysical and wibbly. Like I said though, there's no hard evidence for this. Just speculation and my own headcannon based on the themes of the game. Feel free to contradict me.
