Heh, but you just proved that you are blind or at least, you behave like
one.
At least you did not got my point anyway.

Eh? I said that mortals caused the Cataclysm w/o divine intervention,
meaning that gods did not cause it. Although I later decided to add an
option that maybe gods afterall did try to stop these wizards from doing
their experiments etc. Maybe gods decided not to involve in mortal
wizards' doings and then the Catalysm happened. Maybe the wanted to give
mortals what they deserved? I am not explaining here the exact FACTS in
Majik history, but instead I am creating the possible storyline and
reason for the Cataclysm since I can not just decide the reason etc. for
this terrible disaster just by myself.
If you are too blind to see that, maybe you should not comment my ideas
at all and leave me to decide what happened, although other designers
would still have their words to say.

Yes, so it is NOW in the present time in Majik, but was it exactly the
same way BEFORE the Cataclysm? I think not. I think that Gods finally
realized that mortals became too powerful, too easily and too fast in
the art of magic. That is the reason why Gods took some power off from
the mortals and reason why they did not stop the Cataclysm from
happening was that Gods did not want to interact directly with mortals
and the world. That would have affected the balance too muhc and maybe
it would have lead to a war between the gods and that is something that
most of the gods did not want at all because that would have been even
more destructive to the world than this Cataclysm.

I did not say a word about elder gods in my earlier posts.

As I noted, you are (acting) blind(ly). They were POWERFUL wizards, more
powerful than anyone of the existing wizards can even dream of. They
were like demigods in power, yet they still were mortals. I do not
understand why this is so difficult for you to understand that they were
much more than just mere mortals with poor magical skills. Some of the
wizards were liches, some were men, but they all possessed great powers.

Dazzt did not fight these wizards.

If this is the case, fuck my ides then. I will just shut up my mouth and
stick my ideas in the ass of some elven king so that they can be found
by some cruel PC who decides to search the king's rectum for some
unknown artifact.

Yes, but in my idea the Gods decided not to do that. Read above my poor
excuse.
