Let's talk about Verra

in Ashes Of Creation General Discussion


Is this a statue of Verra? Before you say, "No, that's stupid. Verra is the planet," remember that most planets are named after people. Gods mostly, except Uranus. I don't know how that got it's name. lol. 

What is the lore of Verra, not the planet, the person the planet is named after? She must have an awesome backstory if they named a planet after her. Is magic Verra's life force?

    Yep, they are trying to avoid everyone knowing it all before launch. Instead, they want a lot of it to be discovered as people explore Verra.

    Here is where people are talking about it:  https://forums.ashesofcreation.com/categories/lore

    That statue looks like a giant owl man though.  :open_mouth:

    ....and about Uranus (mythology) Uranus (/ˈjʊərənəs, jʊəˈreɪnəs/; Ancient Greek Οὐρανός, Ouranos [uranós] meaning "sky" or "heaven") was the primal Greek god personifying the sky and one of the Greek primordial deities. His name in Roman mythology was Caelus.

    Caelus. I like that name. Very interesting!

    It may be one of the gods but I don't think its Verra. by the looks of where it is and what it's wearing, I would maybe say a goddess of life.

    Maybe she's the goddess of death and she's wearing a robe to cover up her bony hips. She could be looking at the sunset instead of the sunrise. Maybe the statue's appearance changes at night.

    Looks like a mother holding a sick or tired (or, morbidly dead) child, not a baby.
    I say this because most statues of people of grandeur that big would have a profile from almost any angle that would showcase their arms, hands, or an implement they might be holding. However, on the left it looks like smaller limp legs and feet and on the right a possible head.

    But, this is likely looking too far into what is likely a statue of a priest/priestess type figure by the headdress, veil and robes. As for the type of god, since and religious node can be developed for any god, I couldn't begin to guess. Sunrise/set wouldn't help me. A clue might be it was built outside of town, on a hilltop, looking over the city.

    Oh that's right, y'all used to hook up back in High school or something, my bad

    Only to later find out that it is an insignificant pile of rocks created by a cult of the spaghetti god.

    she was my crazy cousin who acted like a older sister

    According to the email I just received, these statues are, " giants of the fallen civilizations that came before." So we know it isn't a statue of Dilia's mom because she was a dwarf.

    I have a question , if Verra is a planet , who said the its a she? may be it`s a he or may be it`s a legendary creature...who knows for sure i don`t think Verra is even human (as origins for example)

    Well in my cultures female names tend to end with an A and Verra does sound like a female name too :3 
  • ArchivedUserArchivedUser Guest
    Fair enough @AutumnLeaf about the culture site, because in me culture i have female names that does not end in a A :smile:

    the idea came for our world which is called Terra also known as mother nature so it would make sense for Verra to be a female god as well.

    After searching the depths of the forbidden archives I have found this worn out piece of parchment no doubt showcasing to us the undeniable proof.
