[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 3339589, member: 3051"] Amazing, activity on this thread after all this time... Using the "official" story as detailed by The_One_Warlock, I think the answer is obvious: [b]Zerthimon was originally going to AGREE with Gith.[/b] The players are responsible for convincing him that his values are worth standing up for, and making the Pronouncement of Two Skies. What they need to conveniently fail to mention is that following his morals will result in an incredibly destructive civil war that will keep his race from ever really being anything other than a footnote in the Planar Handbook, and will probably be responsible for more deaths than anything short of the Blood War. If he let Gith run with her idea, though, there'd eventually be a Gith Empire; sure, someday there'd probably be another slave rebellion, but overall the race would advance more. Depending on how much divination magic you let Gith have access to, this could be a REALLY hard sell. The argument was on "the Blasted Plains". If I were a gith (either type), that place would be sacrosanct, off-limits to everyone else. It WAS the site of the final major battle against the Illithid, after all. In a unified, warlike Gith Empire (where Zerthimon hadn't opposed Gith), it'd probably be maintained in its original state. But in the zerai/yanki split, neither side would bother with that (or tolerate if the other side did), and it'd probably be completely overgrown, with nothing remaining of the original structures. Are these the same Horrible Evil Worms who we previously discussed the Spira-hollowing properties of? My first instinct was to say it'd be filled with stuffed animals, bright colors, and a TV showing episodes of Barney or the Teletubbies (possibly Veggie Tales, if you want to get REALLY scary). But of course, the worms can't see. I guess it'd depend on exactly WHY he was raising them. Is it for a specific goal, is it because he just thinks they're cute, or is he basically an employee of the adult worms (if any)? [/QUOTE]
