A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

[X] Slip among the crowd, seeming as they are

I am a little tempted to blow away this obfuscation. Some know they are in the dream realm. But how many of them KNOW about the dream realm.
 
Don't join the crowd. It's not an obvious trap but rather that the crowd is going be pulled somewhere else.
 
Is anyone familiar enough with the Elder Mythos, or ASOIAF lore, to know where GRRM drew inspiration for the Drowned God? Was it Cthulhu?

The Mythos was pretty much lifted wholesale and dropped into the Pathfinder setting, and that's not a comforting thought.

It was Cthluhu, same as the Deep Ones, the Old Ons of Leng, the oily Blackstone and all the shit up near Asshai.

Yes. GRRM had a Lovecraft obsession.

Drowned God = Cthulhu
Faceless God = Nyarlothep
Black Goat of Qohor = Shub Niggurath
Sorcerer Lord of Carcosa = Hastur
Old Ones of Leng = Great Old Ones

Can you link it? I don't remember it, and we may have forgotten to update her sheet.

No, you updated the Sheet, she has 2 levels in her class on it, all is correct.

The Drowned God shares some of his tentacly aesthetics with Cthulhu and that "What is dead..." quote is related to him too.
"That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die."

But aside from that they have very little in common.
 
Basically anything in ASOIAF associated with oily black stone has some kind of Lovecraftian connection.

Oh and canon Qyburn is sort of a Herbert West: Reanimator.
