[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 574955, member: 8461"] Mentioning that reminds me: - Hamanu said the Champions have reigned for 1000 years now, that the 2000 year timeline made by other city-states is false. But the revised boxed set states definitively that the Sorcerer-kings really have ruled for 2000 years. As for filtering perceptions...admittedly, the book mostly focuses on Hamanu's memories and such, but it is told in "omniscient-narrator" style (Hamanu is referred to as "he" instead of "I" and character actions are done in the past-tense), meaning that what is said and done is what is really said and done. The way things are is presented as how they really are, with Hamanu presenting the "true" history where everyone else lied. That isn't so. And a lot of other errors aren't even presented in that context, so that rationalization doesn't apply either. Azure Trance: The person you are referring to is Borys of Ebe aka The Dragon. Borys had more levels than anyone else so far, and could be very malicious (as all of the other sorcerer-kings were), but if you're talking about the "greatest villain" being the most powerful, then it wasn't him, since his former master, Rajaat, killed Borys when Borys was sent to the Hollow, Rajaat's prison, by being covered in what appeared to be pure shadow from the broken Scourge sword. Dregoth can never become a god because on Athas (that is, in that crystal sphere that Athas resides in) it is impossible for a god to form, or for an existing god to generate ties there (hence why there are no deity-clerics on that world). Its something to do with the planar structure of how that crystal sphere formed, apparently (since it connects to the Grey and the Black, with the Grey making it difficult to reach the Ethereal Plane and past it to the Inner Planes, and virtually impossible to reach the Astral Plane and past it to the Outer Planes). Dregoth does not realize this, and wants to become a god on Athas itself so he can be the sole true god there, which can never happen. [/QUOTE]
