After all, he is the demi-god of pain and suffering, and may have some sort of insight into the people of the old Spira who were slain by the worms. Where as in most religions, like you said, the very notion of this sort of stuff would be heretical, the most sensitive of Horr's followers would know it to be true. They can *feel* it. And while the notion of the worms bringing *more* pain and suffering may be appealing to them, complete destruction, the end of pain and suffering, is still antithetical (sp?) to them.And a thought on the sword... Perhaps, once upon a time, before the Lich Queen became the Lich Queen, she had a son. This son grew up to become a great soldier, and fought ferociously against all of his mothers enemies. When the Lich Queen ascended to leadership of the Githyanki, a priest or prophet foretold that as long as the son remained loyal to his mother, she would rule forever. A rival of the Lich Queen thought she could get around this by just slaying the son outright, but from the thoughts of the dying son, a powerful blade coalesced and came into being. With the blade, one on the Queens bodyguards slew the rival, and it became tradition that the son lived on in the blade. To make a long story short, for Galthia to possess the sword means that the son has lost faith in the Lich Queen, else he would never allowed himself to be wielded by a mortal foe of the githyanki. So, according to the prophecy, the rest of the Githyanki believe that the Lich Queen is now vulnerable to being defeated and overthrown...</blockquote>
