The Archerous Über-Theory vBeta2.0

I finally found the time to finish writing up my theory. Here it is:

The Earth, the Universe, was a world of very, very chaotic things, eerie creatures and hell-like insanity in everything. Like a horror-movie, it was utterly alien and creepy to anything we would know. The creatures and beings were created by the many gods, the Dark or Old Gods, and worshipped and sacrificed to them.

Wyrd, a newer god in some respect, awoke from a dream, his One Dream, like prophecy and omen of his mission. This was to transform the Earth so that a different breed of life could emerge, a different take and look upon things, not so dark and weird. He then chose a starting point for him to implement his One Dream, about at present-day Muirthemne perhaps, and then the Earth began to change, like a spreading wave. This growing circle bathed the land in light, the world being rid of the former creatures, it being prepared for newer and more civilized forms of life of which Wyrd would create.

Nyx saw this happening. She is also, perhaps, a newer god, a goddess to be exact, and she was jealous that Wyrd thought of this reformation first. She wanted to rule the Earth, so she tried to keep Wyrd from accomplishing his goal by fighting him. As this was happening, the Dark Gods summoned their powers to halt the expansion of the Light, shattering Wyrd’s One Dream into the 49 Dreams of Wyrd because they are disappointed with Wyrd for trying to make this new world which would practically expell them, one for each Dark God as a kind of just penance. The shattering of Wyrd’s power halted the expansion of the new Light world. Also, they cut off the head of his son, Segoth, but kept it animated, alive and talking, for eternity. On Earth, Nyx had scarred Wyrd’s creation with the volcano of Tharsis, in the process forging the Trow within, her children and creation.

Wyrd was totally broken by all of this. He lost his primary source of power, so he had little left to do much of anything. The Earth was not rid of the Dark he sought to destroy, and so still posed a threat to his world, should the Dark Gods manage to take it over. Nyx had placed her own creation onto the world of Wyrd (keep in mind that Nyx would want to rule the world and separate from the Dark Gods just as much as Wyrd; she simply attacked Wyrd out of jealousy), the Trow absolutely dominating and ruling the world as Nyx’s representation.

The Dark Gods planed to take over the new world, sending a new species of their own kind across the Edge of All, the border between Wyrd’s new Light world and the old world, the rest of the Earth. A new species was sent to retake the lands every thousand years for 49 millenia, also one for each Dark God, each species perhaps the patronee species of a specific god. They always ended up coming into conflict with the Trow because the Trow dominate everything and keep a kind of order to establish ownership of the world (“world” synonomous directly with Wyrd’s new Light world) to let Nyx have the world she was able to aquire. The Trow, supremely more powerful than the other Dark creations which tried to retake the land Wyrd stole, always happened to destroy that new species, it wiped from the face of the world, but perhaps not the Earth, more of the Dark species’ kind perhaps across the Edge of All.

By the fourty-ninth wave’s end, the Callieach, the greatest magicians in the history of the world and “the Sovereigns of the Time Before” Wyrd’s creation, went as far East as possible to cross the Edge of All and return to their former lands. Before they could get there, the Trow cought them and tried to kill them. Desparate, the Callieach used an incredible tunneling explosion via their magic to get to the other side of the Earth, where it is Dark. This did not kill anything at first, only brought it to the other side, into the alternative-dimension of the old world. The Trow would have been sacrificed for certain, however, once they had made it to that side. The remnant of this was the Great Devoid, a seemingly bottomless pit.

The Dark Gods realized that they could not defeat Nyx’s Trow, and so halted their attempt to take the world. When this competition diminished, Wyrd sent beings of his own creation to his own world, such as Forrest Giants (perhaps as some joke to directly oppose the Trow, for the Forrest Giants always maintain the Trow “poisoned the soul of iron”, the soul of the world, by making their iron weapons in part, but also because the Trow had poisoned their Wyrd’s world), Oghres, Dwarves, fir’Bolg, and Humans. These Younger Races appeared and seemed to have a prosperous reshaping of the world for an aeon, but then the Dark Gods, and certainly Nyx as well, wanted to again dominate the world. They also wanted to prevent the ever-strengthening and -evolving Humanity from becoming developed enough to figure out how to find the pieces of the One Dream and unite it once again, for this would allow Wyrd to push out everything Dark on Earth.

Therefore, they made a deal with her which would be profitable to all. The Dark Gods wanted to regain at least some of their land for their own creatures. Nyx wanted to rule the world her Trow had dominated for exactly five aeons, for certain, so she has an interest in gaining more power, seeing as her Trow were in a rather steady decline at this point. Wyrd wanted to protect his life and the vision that is nearly a reality, a beautiful and peaceful new world.
A deal was stricken between the three parties. The world would be dominated by Dark every other millenium, the Dark demons and evil things crossing from the Edge of All once the Dark was established to ravenously dominate and terrorize the world of Wyrd, making it look rather like the rest of the Earth. To implement this, the two ever-fighting champion gods of Wyrd and Nyx agreed to fight every millenium for dominance of the world, something they both want, through Humanity. They would each be incarnated into Human form. The body each would possess would then become strong and powerful, and so the two champions would battle to usher in a new age of Light or Darkness, depending upon whose turn it was to rule, Light or Dark, and that such a Cycle could not be broken, or the “Deal” would be broken as well. As well as simply contesting eachother, one Spirit, either that of Wyrd or Nyx, would come to turn the body they possess into the Leveler, the great Destroyer and usherer-in of Darkness, or the Great Hero, the defender of Humanity (especially) and the entire civilized world of Wyrd. In the Age of Reason, the first recorded history of Humans came about, showing definitively to us now that Tireces, the Great Hero of the Axe Age, was Wyrd incarnate, and that he started the Age of Reason, at 570 H.C. He defeated a Leveler, the name of whom is unknown, but was Nyx incarnate. They would switch from Light roles to Dark roles, as demonstrated by the Forrestine Cycle.

These things would be herralded by three events:
1.) The Great Comet would appear in the sky, always coming in the same direction the Leveler came, always following the Dark. The Leveler or Great Hero would come from specific directions depending upon the Spirit (Wyrd or Nyx) which inhabitted him. For instance, Wyrd represents disorder, and Northwest and Southeast on the World Map represent disorder, Wyrd’s incarnation always coming from either of those two directions. Conversely, Nyx represents order, Northeast and Southwest being orderly in the world, and so Nyx’s incarnations would always come from either Northeast or Southwest. More evidence of this is evident in the description of the theory Principia Mythica, by Forrest. Added points to Forrest’s theory: The Trow were made by Nyx, and the Trow are extremely orderly and logical in their Roman mystique. Wyrd’s races, like the direct opposite to the Trow of the Forrest Giants, seemed more earthy and less advanced and organized than the Trow of Nyx. There are disorderly mountains in the Southeast and Northwest while there are orderly plains in the Northeast and Southwest.
The Comet represents the Dark Gods.
2.) The volcano of Tharsis would erupt to echoe the appearance of the Great Comet.
Tharsis represents Nyx, and her Trow.
3.) The severed head of Wyrd’s son, Segoth, would appear as The Head to help turn the battle to the favor of his father, Wyrd? Unfortunately, Forrest, knowing the true identity of The Head, he told us that it is not Segoth. Segoth doesn’t seem to fit in any other way than this…though it would be perfect if he were to. Is there another representation of Wyrd in the omens of the Great Battle between Destroyer and Savior?

To finalize the rest of the story, please refer to Principia Mythica and The Cycle essay, by Forrest.

Other Additions and Possibilities:
-The world flipping like a coin may relate to an eight-era Cycle.
-The shattering of the Cloudspine that Soulblighter threatens with could somehow destroy the world of Wyrd so that evil could return; he definitely would not want to destroy the whole planet, for he is (presumably) acting for the Dark Gods, who want to have all the world, not lose it all.
-Why is it that the Devoid exploded when Balor’s head was thrown in.
-The Fallen Lords could easily be incarnations of the Dark Gods, as well as Cartuke and b’Y’lagga.
-If the Earth is litterally coin-shaped, then there can be no region of “Faraway”, for there is no room for it then. Perhaps just the world, of Wyrd, is what is coin-shaped simply by metaphor, rotating into Darkness or Light.
-The Ibis Crown obviously relates directly to the One Dream in some way…I just can’t put my finger on it…
-The erruption of Tharsis every thousand years [since the world’s creation] may be Nyx’s way of saying “I’m going to rule this world [with my Trow], just as I have seen my Trow destroy so many other races aeons before.”
-Trow are punished by Nyx, as Connacht, because Nyx is probably, in part, ashamed of her creation and how she no longer can dominate the world with them. Conversely, she, as Balor, uses them to fight because they are her creation still, not just for the Trow owing Connacht for their lives.
