[QUOTE="Dr. Strangemonkey, post: 819857, member: 6533"] That sounds about right to me. I figure we'll go all Orson Scott Card on this and say the elite conflicts in Ausel, fueled by divine inspiration/intervention, eliminate the elder queen, but that the younger queen, with less than fully developed abilities remains alive and infused with the dispersed essence of the final battle between the elder queen, the avatars, and the dragon elders. Resulting in a much less aggressive entity. Though still with a lot of growing up to do. Let's also say that the hideous encounters that end it all also create true dragon hatchlings who are taken off by the monks to be raised into beings of various sorts. And that the conflict has changed the nature of the gods. In particular, the voices of the gods are silenced and Stempa, the Ta'jinn, and Cressia no longer have recourse to the level of divine quidance they had previously enjoyed. Everything descends into an era much like the dark age of ancient Greece and we head off into the next round. Or at least that's the general drift, anyone has any cooler ideas about how it all ends let me know. But I think we can safely say that the Formians who are left are going to develop their own weird culture and a new specific role in the societies. [/QUOTE]
