:I | :I scanned through the localization files briefly to track down some pronoun usage in reference to The Emperor. "It" does seem to be certainly the most prevalent. Used in quest objectives which should be non-biased: [[Visit the Emperor's Old Hideout|"The Emperor asked us to check its old hideout"]]; [[Confront the Elder Brain|"We drove the Emperor away - it has joined sides with what we now know to be a Netherbrain."]] | ||
:Lae'zel has the line: "The Emperor will resist. It will lie, it will cajole - it might even beg. But there is only one answer it deserves: Death." if you talk to her in the Astral Plane just before freeing Orpheus in the endgame.

::I'm not privy to any previous discussions on pronouns for the Emperor, but I do agree just for the sake of simplicity, we can use "it". I'd be inclined to also use "he/him" given his past persona and atypical situation, but it's really up to the editors of the page. I think we can do the same with other illithid like Omeluum and K. Either way, if you could, could you add the final decision made by the community at the top of your post for any future editors to easily see? Thanks in advance.[[User:Emeff|Emeff]] ([[User talk:Emeff|talk]]) 18:46, 30 January 2024 (CET) | |||
