Talk:Kezef

I changed Fenrisulfr to Fenris

Ulfr is A: spelled wrong, it's supposed to be ULF and B: Incorrect since ULF just means wolf

Danish: Fenris Ulven

Swedish: Fenris ulf

Norwegian Fenris ulv

The Danes are the only one to put a suffix on to mark it as THE wolf but you get the point


 * This is a very minor detail to nitpick over, since this article's not even about Fenris, but Fenrisulfr is correct.

http://www.pantheon.org/articles/f/fenrir.html (see other names)

You are right that those are the correct, literal translations in modern Scandinavian languages. But Old Norse, from which the name derives, is not the same thing as Danish, Swedish, or Norewegian.

Feel free to disagree, but Scandinavian mythological studies happen to agree on Fenrisulfr as a correct name. That said, it's not the most correct name. Fenrir is. Niirfa-sa 04:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Elder evils and primordials
Kezef, along with Dendar and Ityak-Ortheel, are called "Elder Eternal Evils" in Powers & Pantheons. Being primordials doesn't mean they can't be elder evils as well; the categories aren't mutually exclusive. The definition of elder evil is actually very vague, and includes primordials, undead, demons, devils, Far Realm entities, and more. -- Rowan Earthwood 23:26, September 26, 2010 (UTC)

Origin
Its mentioned in the Champions of Ruin supplement, under the Kezef the Chaos Hound entry pg 145, that Jergal's regret and the backlash in creating the hound during a burst of rage is also reason for him to give the Three his portfolios and why he still serves as seneschal for the God of Death.

Kezef was created by Jergal? I think that's pretty important. GodBeastX (talk) 22:27, February 19, 2013 (UTC)

Stupid
This whole "Past tense" thing is so unbelievably stupid. It completely eradicates the point of the verb tense in favour of slightly less work to do. Now no one knows what the hell kind of cosmology is being used because every page says "was" and "it was used until X". The "looking from far in the future" also makes no sense whatsoever. As if Ao and Toril simply cease to exist when written from a future perspective.. yeah right. But go ahead, write the article on the immortal hellspawn as if he were some long-dead John Doe. 77.165.250.227 01:06, August 23, 2017 (UTC)


 * Have you never read a book? Past tense is a fundamental style of writing and the most widespread in novels, especially in Forgotten Realms novels. It also saves us rewriting the wiki every time there's a new edition and the universe flipflops.
