Roses For Avalon | Page 144 | Draft (Patreon)

A more complete unveiling of the cosmology! It's gnosticism all the way down, baby!

 If Oidecalla isn't making it clear enough here, God the Stranger is the god who promised to rescue humanity from the clutches of its tyrant creator God. Roshim's library and its emphasis on knowledge as a way to resist the baleful loyalty required by the tyrant God is a direct reference to the tower of babel

"Angels losing faith" is another theme that inspired this story. I'll definitely drop the full creation story text before we move onto the next comic for those of you who are interested.
