This begs the question: If the only way to ensue the survival of your entire species is to take over the bodies of another species, is doing so evil?I'm also wondering what the quorforged were for, precisely. I mean, unless the quori were able to give them lots of character levels upon creation, they wouldn't have been powerful enough physically against the giants. Perhaps they were intended as hosts for the quori?Here's a scenario:The Light quori realize that the end of their Age is upon them - but they want to survive anyway. Thus, they create a "beachhead" of sorts with all sorts of quorforged constructs, since they need to create some sort of "anchor" in the physical plane to have a chance of surviving at all. They then move their spirits to some sort of physical receptory - large-scale phylacteries, if you will.The giants, in the meantime, have become suspicious about these newcomers. Sure, they say that they have come in piece... but the number of constructs they have created begin to rapidly outnumber them! War ensues, and both sides fight to near-annihilation.Near the end of the war, some quori learn how to put their spirits into construct bodies - the first true warforged. Sure, they forget everything about their former existence and can't leave, but hey - it beats dying. Unfortunately, the cataclysm strikes before more can be transferred, and most warforged are destroyed as well. All that's left are hundreds of thousands of Light quori, trapped in their phylacteries, unable to communicate with the outside world, and waiting for some sort of release...Fourty thousand years pass.House Cannith discovers the instructions for creating warforged in the depths of Xen'drik - but without understanding its implications, or where warforged spirits come from. They create thousands of warforged - and their souls are drawn from the trapped quori, who immediately forget their true identity upon being joined with the warforged bodies...How does that sound?</blockquote>
