Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Warlock" data-source="post: 2452547" data-attributes="member: 21215">Here's my question...where is the Red Prison that the other worms got trapped in? Could it be accessed by the Defenders, and find there, starved of the souls of worlds, the great dead husks of the ancient worms, a huge writhing of stonelike annelid bodies the size of aircraft carriers, frozen in place, dried out, and yet caught in some form of undeath, irony having a hand in the eternal imprisonment. Not the vile level draining, attribute sucking undead, but sort of a ghostly mental essence, and if the Defenders travel through the worms, the dried tracings of the inner veins and organs can trigger powerful and painful mental flashbacks of the worms remembering the deception and imprisonment from the worms point of view. The big question to me is how did Elder and the other worm escape, and when were they noticed and bound in chains of light? "There, the Godling ignited the endless night and brought the sun to a world that knew only darkness, and he forged chains of light to bind the last two worms within the earth. The dead were burned from the pitted world, and the globe was made anew."This part can allow for a lot of interpretation, especially in terms of the passage of time. While it states grammatically that the globe was made anew after the binding of the worms with chains of light, Aeos had already brought light to a world in darkness. The first races, as agents of the gods, could have been birthed in that arrival of light, and the world could technically already have been filled with life, and then the last two worms are found in the living world, and champion races are led in a jihad to contain them, empowered with Aeos light. Also, given the sentence preceding the above, it could be argued seers and historians have misremembered or misordered the wording, and that while Aeos brought the light, he didn't forge the chains of light, but instead Abbath forged the chains of light from the radiance of his son. That forging could have been the process whereby Abbath was somehow lost, but gave his essence to his companion goddess to birth more gods to protect the world in his absence.But that's me being overly complicated. It happens when you run a game based on a prophecy from an empire that got so thoroughly devastated that nobody knows how the empire fell, let alone have accurate records of their diviners.</blockquote>
