I'm honestly surprised people here have an issue with the setting out of all things. It's just an amalgamation of Josh's knowledge of pre-medieval and medieval-ish cultures slapped into a game, and I think does a good job of making it have an overarching God pantheon while having the nations feel believeable. Fantasy settings have never been too ambitious past dragons and ghouls, and fampyr are a good example of even Josh's autism being constrained.

Ok I got it.
A "quote" without a link is just words you typed.
As far as I recall George Ziets did most of the work on the pantheon and the gods' portfolios. You can tell it was written by someone who has done some more than casual reading. As someone who had to read Mircea Eliade's History of Religious Ideas at university, I can tell there was some thought put into it. Shame the games' writing didn't do it much justice. The original ideas from the PoE guidebook were reduced to something much inferior. I guess the "narrative designers" couldn't or wouldn't raise to the level of the setting source material.

It's always funny when the Codex, the 8chan of gaming forums, is mentioned by or refered to in the mainstream media. I guess people are desperate for any information on this game.

Mag-Pie is the traditional cuisine of the 'dwelf' race. Dwelves are NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH classical role-playing elves! Dwelves are slender, and really smart. They are also quite good at magic. THESE ARE NOT ELVES! Obsidian(tm) subverts classical rpg elements! While dwelves may seema lot like elves, they are NOT ELVES! DO NOT REFER TO DWELVES AS ELVES! Sometimes, dwelf males choose to have short hair! CLASSICAL ELVES DO NOT HAVE SHORT HAIR! Mag-Pie is created with two parts flour, one part water, and three part magic maggot.

It's actually "Narrative Designer"
"Creative Writer" is not an accurate job description, as it implies the employee is creative and is a writer.
