There is a new update in the main thread! Here is the link: http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/130712-viridity-saizhan-updated-11-26-08-a-32.html

Due to the general trends in the story, as well as because of the most recent events, I am wondering about the distinctiveness of Oronthonian and Uedian perspectives. It seems that these are beginning to tend together and I would posit that this may even result in a 'unified' perspective where Oronthon is the male aspect and the Uedian beliefs correspond to the female aspect of the perspective.

That's an interesting idea. The Uedian side woud definitely be the wild one in such a relationship.

Hmm, imagine the sects that would result from such a union. Interesting. Scary.

New Year's/Sep update bump

 

[Asha'man]

Sep, I recently had an odd thought, rereading the poem about the Adversary and the Ancient. I hope you can answer, that it doesn't fall under "this is not something I want to talk about from a metagame perspective":

In Urgic thought, (well, actually Oronthonian religious thought in general, but I'd imagine the pre-Saizhan Urgics would be the ones to concern themselves most with it, if any did at all) is the Ancient a kind of Manichean anti-Oronthon, or just an atavism? Does the "fourfold negation" apply? It would seem that nonexistence is a (probably the only, in the Oronthonian worldview) valid refuge from Oronthon's sphere of influence, within which he is effectively omnipotent and beyond challenge.

I think whatever the "truth" might have been in this regard, it is now changing...

Le bump!

It does seem to be on the trendline. In the longer term it could be pushed even further - who knows, the campaign could even end with the unification of all perspectives into a grand perspective with some internal contradictions but within the same frame. Think about it - Oronthonian perspective, Adversary's perspective, Uedian perspective, the Visuit and the concept of oblivion and nonexistence (Demogorgon, Cheschne...) plus perhaps other perspectives yet to be introduced all united in one!
