Consider this: The Liberator is the central prize of the war, the reason most of them came – by now, seasoned soldiers who know nothing but warring on Ea probably believe the Liberator can snap her fingers and create miracles. It’s a very real possibility that if the Liberator returns she will not be recognized for what she is (if she is), because her legend has been elevated to such heights. |
Actually, I was thinking more that she could be the Liberator, but not know it. My take is that very few people in stories realize as the story is happening that they will become legends. About the only one I can think of is Frodo and Sam in Lord of the Rings joking about how people will tell stories about them in the future and kinda realizing that what they were doing really WAS that important to history. I'm betting her parents wouldn't even know that she was the Liberator. Maybe she just has an obscure birthmark which the original Liberator also had. But how many would know that? Just about nobody.
Also, with Ea being here in the mortal realm, the Githyanki and Githzerai lose one of their biggest advantages- near immortality. In previous editions, they lived only in the Astral/Etheral (one of those) where time didn't pass. So they only aged when they went raiding in the Prime. Not sure if the current Astral Sea is timeless like that or not. Since they are kind of cut off from their main empires anyway it would change things socially some I would think. Maybe alot more focus on procreating to keep up the force of fighters needed for the war to continue?
Gotta get to work for now. I'll come back and post more later if I think of anything.
And yet another word from our sponsors
