@BTR180 Thanks, less so a gambeson though, its wool and a more 19th century feel. Way to poor to afford the real armor. Proteccs against the elements. @Lance Thanks.

On the thing with the gods. The problem with using eldritch gods, and gods in general, is that they are inherently from their own existence supposed to be entities beyond human comprehension. They are something that is unpierced by human thought, so any notions of being able to concieve of the god already takes away from its godhood in way. Its why H.P. Lovecraft is probably spinning in his grave at his works being interpreted as 'a squid thingy from outer space that hates humans', completely missing the point of his universe. You can't really give agency to a god because we have no idea what that kind of power is like, so usually it is best to portray them as a theme or a backround element. That way it gives that air of nuance to evoke the mysteriousness of a being thats reach is beyond our mental grasp.
