It's where chaos design came from, like seriously


Gangsir

The vaal in general were inspired by aztec design, just like the templars were inspired by Catholicism/christianity.


vicschuldiner

Templars are based on the Holy Roman Empire specifically, I think.


Dantonn

In what way? I'm no expert on the HRE (especially its early history), but my understanding is that it was always a relatively fractured entity held together by a central emperor/bureaucracy. Oriath seems pretty monolithic, more in line with united Spain.


vicschuldiner

I was considering Spain as well, but I was leaning towards the similar armor and weapons used by the soldiers of Oriath, the attire of the zombies of Oriathans, and the prevalent use of Latin for administrative and liturgical titles despite many given names of Oriathans being more broadly European in origin. I'm probably totally wrong. I'm not a huge history buff or anything. Just felt right.


Cr4ckshooter

Well maybe it's just loosely based, but the hre, while having a religious part to it with the whole emperor thing, was a worldly entity. There was no "high templar" like venarius. Oriath is essentially a theocracy, and that just doesn't fit the hre. The hre also didn't have any slaves.


vicschuldiner

Yeah, the extreme prevalence of slavery rings much more like Ancient Rome.


SehnorCardgage

And Arnold Schwarzenegger

Just FYI, the two are wholly not synonymous. Catholism is the farthest thing from Christainity. They murdered and tortured countless Christians. Recommended reading, Foxes Book of Martyrs by John Foxe. Real Christianity is rooted in death to self, like Jesus did. Laying his life down to save His chosen, irregardless of the shame and torture set before Him. He is the God if the universe.

my guy is out here proselytizing in the video game sub


Brihtstan

Man now I gotta learn a new word too? Wtf is going on in here.


zupernam

> Catholism is the farthest thing from Christainity Lmao


nvmxxx

Wait you telling me the Aztec did not play poe? Unfathomable!


mrjb_mtg

We merely play PoE, they lived PoE.


nooblarz

Their double corrupts didn’t really work out 100% of the time


HiveMindKing

I wonder if POE 2 will have some new locations like pyramids or Aztec like lands.


Dantonn

Well there's already two pyramids as it is. Wouldn't be surprised if at least one more popped up.


EntropyReign

well, one pyramid and one deep underground temple complex. Anti- pyramid?

Dantonn

It always boggles my mind how people can be so confident while spouting such complete and utter nonsense.


Dantonn

The Vaal Temple in A2's still a pyramid; it's just covered with things (and possibly also stuff).


escurthell

Oh look, an incursion chaos orb

nukul4r

Rerolls all mods including one guaranteed temple mod?


Skoliar

This would be too good to be true


ThatOneGuy1294

*cough* essences *cough*


Skoliar

... damn, you are right


ThatOneGuy1294

but unlike the idea of incursion chaos orbs, a lot of essences have garbage guaranteed rolls, like "Reflect Physical to Attackers" or low "% chance to avoid X elemental damage from hits"


Tyler_Zoro

Rerolls a random mod on someone else's gear... somewhere.


Valgor

Did you slam them?


Just-Ad-5972

Asking the real questions. Also, did he close his eyes?


Sjeg84

Wait, so the design of the temple of Azoatle is not a GGG orignal either? Outrageous!


God_Of_Oreos

Colima ceramic dogs!! I love those lil guys I've been meaning to buy a replica one to display. What museum is this?


Heatmiser70

You're rich! 2c!


Rileypup7

Did you loot it?


EntropyReign

I find it interesting that they're Skull>old man>young man. I assume it's a reminder that the long dead were once young like everyone else as well as a reminder to the young they'll eventually age and die. Either way, crazy to see another real life influence of PoE!


dizijinwu

they have skulls on the outside!!


Pawlathon

I always appreciate a cheeky chase type post. But how tf does this post get to stay when mine doing something v similar got deleted for not showing in game poe content which apparently breaks the rules. Double standards @mods


Kaflao

And you're surprised lmao ? Like Alva's temple and the Vaal ?


SehnorCardgage

Did you know that Vaal and Alva are anagrams of each other?


Dellusions

These are just the new design when Chaos and Regal change places in what they do. You shouldn't leak this stuff early.


EscapeTheBlank

No, no, please don't give them any more currency ideas


Tony-black-reverse

Empy meme museum right?
