"My impression, from all the evidence we've seen, is that the only reason the Locusi, who really aren't human, by the way, won the ancient war, was the fact that the winged ones would only fend them off, not kill them, despite an undeniable ability to do so. If what we've faced in battle so far is any indication, they certainly aren't an unstoppable force. And if it were Talliones trapped here, after butchering a people so peaceful that they wouldn't kill even in the desperate defense of their own lives, I'd let them rot too.  As to the other question, if the evidence we have, from the carvings above, and the information we were given, these Locusi are not the Lord of the Mountain, or affiliated with the Lord of the Mountain. If I had to guess, I'd say this place was built to house the Lord of the Mountain, who was probably called something else entirely then, and the Locusi came later, in the course of their genocidal rampage." He stops, then, and shrugs. "That is only a hypothesis, based on a very cursory examination. I suppose if we are going to unleash one beast of apocalyptic evil, for the greater good, releasing two is just as well."</blockquote>
