Yaga, the Goddess of Magic - Official discussion thread

[Pann 8,680]

Yaga manifests a foundational aspect of the universe itself: Knowledge, All Things Known and Unknown

 

FULL STORY 

 

P.S. This is my new all-time favorite concept piece Dave has done. So awesome!

She does look cool indeed. It would be great to see her in game some how and have it make sense. It's immediately easy to imagine how you would do it in a persistent pve game but for a much more pvp oriented game like CF, I hope they could still make it work.

 

Maybe she hangs out in your EK divine cathedral or the rare campaign appearance.

I love the references to all different kinds of old mythologies! I'm not sure weather we can fight for the lesser gods, though. Perhaps there could be a system in which you choose a main god and a secondary lesser god, each providing unique bonuses(one combat, one economic, perhaps).

"As one of the siblings of the All Father, Yaga manifests a foundational aspect of the universe itself: Knowledge, All Things Known and Unknown. She is the embodiment of how-things-work, the unpinnings of reality."

 

I think underpinnings is what was meant there.

Yea pretty sure now it was Yaga and not Gaea who supported the best race in Crowfall.

Seems like a good choice for my frostweaver.

/agree

Great concept art and placement in the panthology.  However, I'm left wanting.  Can we get any teasers about her relationship, politically, with the other gods?  Surely she has some dark secrets...

[ZYBAK 3,788]

Normally not a big lore guy but I do find "she cannot see the present, only the past and the future" to be a pretty cool trait.

[KRIPTIK 870]

That way she cant see all the evil poorly made socks we'll have to do in her name. Until after its done

[EDM 1,055]

When you see the words "Goddess" and "Magic", this is not what you normally expect..

[Zola 237]

Love the looks of her and the design, very nicely depicted!

 

 

There is also some Link to googleusercontent visible, but unable to be clicked.

Cybele | Gaea | Yaga

 

Now that we know a bit about all three, can you explain the "Trinity Goddess"?

 

quote:

 

There is one cross-section within this hierarchy, however, that we haven’t really talked about much, the Trinity Goddess: Cybele, Gaea and Yaga. These three are connected; one could argue, in fact, that they are merely three aspects of one entity. Which makes the hierarchy a bit more complicated.

Looks good more gods to show up ?

[Torn 25]

Yeah, the link before the picture is fishy. I managed to extract this link from within it:

Please don't link to your hard drive, Pann, it doesn't work.

 

Otherwise it leads to this:

which is a 43 byte "unnamed.gif"

Is it strange that I kind of hope that isn't a typo? I have no idea what it would actually mean, but it sounds deliciously foreboding.

 

Great write up; this is my favorite so far.

And yes,  you can fight for the lessor gods. In fact, in the pre-alpha you can fight for Cebele, Illara, etc... (at leas this is from what I have seen)
