[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 3660558, member: 23023"] Well, if the mages could have foreseen the Shattering, I would think that they had also foreseen that people would suddenly hate them and desire to kill them. The Wizards who were killed were either Clones left to die on purpose - after all, not all would know the difference - and some Mages willingly sacrificed themselves for the greater. Thus while everyone BELIEVES so many mages have died, the truth is that only a few died and these are the weakest of the ones. As for why the Shards are intelligent? Well the mages know that if one is removed, then part of the world dies. Thus, they needed to create a fail-safe, something to protect the world in case some would wish to destroy it. What they did was bind themselves or other beings to protect them, casting spells to empower them, and then left the souls within the Shards to protect them until the end of time. Just a couple of thoughts. :) [/QUOTE]
