Whom Gods Would Destroy	comment	Whom Gods Would Destroy: An Occult History of the First World War is a 2023 novel trilogy by Tyler Kimball told in the form of a paranormal survey of the First World War, with the three parts entitled The Architects of Hell, Archangel, and Armageddon. It begins as a relatively straight-forward historical investigation based in â€œreal lifeâ€� events blended with fantastical elements, but various characters and plotlines began to interweave, resulting in an apocalyptic dark fantasy superhero religious horror war story...thing.

Indeed, attempting to record the name seems to cause people's memories to glitch and misspell it. Alter Venetianer appears to follow this twofold - he frequently uses pseudonyms for some reason, and is named "Alter," or "Old Man," an Ashkenazi Jewish tradition said to hide a sickly child from the angel of Death. Though never outright confirmed, there may be some name-magic-related reason why three characters - Amadeo, Gottlieb, and John Rowan Theophilus Winepress - all have names which mean "Loved by God."

Whom Gods Would Destroy / int_f27486fc	comment	Our Archons Are Different: owing the the religious horror of the plot and a note on the Gnosticism-tinged prophetic dreams of psychologist Jung, this may be what's behind everything.

Whom Gods Would Destroy / int_f8b3fa5d	type	Our Werewolves Are Different
Whom Gods Would Destroy / int_f8b3fa5d	comment	Our Werewolves Are Different: there are oddly four or five types of unconnected werewolves in the story: the Beast of the Somme, a legendary giant wolfdog which a mad scientist surgically implanted the brain of a psychopath; Padraig, an Irish-style werewolf (based on the Werewolves of Ossory), who doesn't transform into a wolf but instead astrally projects into a tamed wolf; a Polish werewolf who ejects a kidney which rapidly transforms into a giant wolf, caused by the alleged blessing of an angel; and "Adolphe Bouchard" and Kwyksilber, who may or may not be a wolf-men but seems to have some ability to attract massive packs of Savage Wolves to them and have other supernatural powers.

Whom Gods Would Destroy / int_fda1a026	comment	Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics / Improbable Aiming Skills: Jacoba van der Aarde has a supernatural command over anyone who hears her voice, rendering them completely helpless. This is far more than standard mind control, to the point that any shot she fires will hit them. She demonstrates this by firing a gun into her own mouth, which hits a target.
