pls somebody save adar little meow-meow
I saw this small stuff go well:
So I shouldered my job as a cinema critique and set off to do a full analysis of that scene.
Teaser.
All of Halbrand/Sauron's shots:
Meanwhile, every single Adar shot:
Oh, I think his power was demonstrated sufficiently. He understood perfectly well that the orcs were starting to stop loving him, to stop believing in him. And he did nothing about it because he knew it was necessary. Some of them had to die so that many more generations after them would not fall under Sauron's power. He was not only willing to sacrifice his own children but was also ready to perish at their hands to ultimately stand up for their future, even at the cost of his own life. In my opinion, that is an incredible strength.
Honestly, I haven't seen such a terrible story as Adar's in a long time. Not in the sense that it is poorly written, but in the sense that his storyline and his entire life are absolutely hopeless. His life was spent in suffering alongside Morgoth and Sauron; he witnessed how they killed and tormented his children, he was tortured too. For a brief moment, they freed themselves from Sauron's power, and Adar did everything to ensure that Uruks did not fall under his control again. He was ready to turn them against him, to feel their distance and their waning love for him, he was prepared for them to kill him, just so they wouldn’t become slaves again.
He dies right after realizing that the ring could heal him, after a new path opened up for him in alliance with Galadriel. Sauron looks at him and Adar understands that Sauron has won, and that everything that came before was in vain.
This is an absolute, total nightmare and shattering of all hopes.
They just canonized BDSM Angbang in its full dark glory, didn't they?
BBEG of our current campaign - lich Tar-Baphon, my GM's @drartslog description
yassification was successful!
I understand that for many this might be a frustrating ending; it is indeed emotionally incredibly heavy, and it’s normal to feel sadness or anger! I would say that in Game of Thrones there is an extreme level of brutality, whereas here it’s still not as prevalent, which is something to be thankful for. I wouldn’t agree that his death is entirely meaningless. Yes, he lost his battle for the Uruks. But thanks in part to his involvement, Galadriel gained a lot of understanding about her own behavior and found her inner light, and through this, Adar - at least for a while - felt like his old self, healed from Sauron’s influence. And for several centuries, he and his children lived free from Sauron’s influence, which is also important. So, in my opinion, globally, Adar did lose to Sauron, but the moments of clarity in his life are still significant and should not be forgotten.

Auzmezar, Archdruid of the Stone Library Circle, created by Paizo and explored in Pathfinder "Wrath of the Righteous" campaign by @drartslog
Auzmezar was the Archdruid of the Green Library Forest when the boundaries between the planes erupted in 4606 AR and the demonic invasion came to Sarkoris.
Auzmezar and his druids defended their centuries-old forest, where the druidic faith first came to life, for 44 years until the demonic generals called in Shaorhaz, a demon of tremendous power and a devoted follower of Cyth-V'Sug, the demon-lord of parasites, fungus and pollution.
Shaorgaz came down upon the Green Library with steel and fire, leading thousands of flame demons, and set the ancient woods ablaze.
Realizing they are about to lose the war and facing either the need to flee or the need to watch their home fall into ruin, Auzmezar and his fellow druids made their final stand. In a ritual so horrid it cannot be found in tomes of ancient knowledge, the druids sacrificed themselves and released a blast of necrotic energy that tore most of Shaorhaz's forces to pieces and forever turned the forest into stone. Next night the druids rose as undead siabraes — powerful creatures that carry stag horns as a constant reminder of their heresy against the natural circle of life and death.
Auzmezar and his siabraes continue to stalk the forest that now bears the name of the Stone Library — stuck between life and death, lacking all emotion, their memories slowly fading away. But still as vigil and ready to fight demons back as they once were in life.
P.S. Auzmezar's appearance was based on Joseph Mawle playing Benjen Stark as we thought he'd be great in such a role :)
