If I remember correctly…he didn’t say this about himself but about the loa, the loa were already here before the trolls were called trolls, not himself.
Occam’s Razor
5 bucks says Bwom is not nearly as old as he claims. And he lied (a trickster god who is known for lying? SHOCKER!) about how old he is to make himself seem more important.
Of course no god, that wants to be seen and worshiped as an almighty being is going to openly admit that they were once a random mortal or his followers might question his divinity.
So he fibs and claims he predates the troll race to help sell his cherade
Well, this’d probably be a good way to retcon it
Mueh’zala was the ‘original’ Loa of death long before him, soo the Necropolis could either be his temple, or just Bwonsamdi’s tomb.
(Or, an ancient troll graveyard since Necropolis is Greek for ‘City of the Dead’)
Bingo. You hit the nail right on the head lol
And judging by the way the other Loa treat him, they may know about his true origins, and are just being… intolerant towards him?
