[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6845413, member: 11697"] Before I respond to that seriously awesome post, let me say that the guesses aren't hidden if you're reading with a theme using a black background and white text. :) I'll happily confirm or deny any of your claims by PM if you'd like, otherwise I won't in public (because I absolutely adore speculation as things continue to progress!). A couple of things to consider however: I wrote both 'Evil Seeps Through' and [url=http://mimir.planewalker.com/070720/evil-still-seeps-through]Evil Still Seeps Through[/url] as an in-world what-if response to 3e Forgotten Realms removal of itself from the Great Wheel (which I considered a mistake on a number of levels). I would not consider either of those two stories to be set within the same continuity as the storyhour and most of my fiction. Likewise the unnamed story with Larsdana Ap Neut speaking with a baernaloth and then to Tharizdun is also another what-if story written in the prelude to 4th Edition when it was still up in the air as to what would be done with the 'loths in that edition. Clearly I would have gone a different direction there. The characters used in those three stories act fully in accordance with how they're characterized in the Storyhour's continuity of course, so take that as you will (we've only seen Larsdana in hindsight thus far in the Storyhour proper - but she's one of my favorites among the fiends I'll admit, and I look forward to showing her off more in the future in hindsight or otherwise, whatever the case might be). Additionally, just a point of clarification regarding the pre-history discussed in post 1507. Keep this line in mind: "But for all the apocryphal tales, the exact version was of little meaning, irrelevant really, within the confines of a patch of frozen ground obscured upon the flank of the third furnace of Mungoth." The preceding descriptions of Gehenna's formation are all mostly mutually exclusive. Consider them as different takes upon what happened, like the variant and mutually exclusive versions of history within the Synoptic Gospels. One, two, or all three of those tales might have happened in some capacity, but those are three versions of history remembered, told, and venerated by the 'loths. Of course it might be that none of them occurred. The 'loths lie. That's what they do, even to themselves. Consider those clarifications upon your conclusions, but regardless of what measure of truth you've come to, I'm seriously impressed that you've gone to that amount of effort to dig through my older stories scattered around the internet across Enworld, Planewalker, and the now defunct WotC forums. Thank you! *blush* [/QUOTE]
