: Perhaps. But whatever way, there is a rather interesting
: question to bring up - what of their corporeal form
: that they can be forced into? It's this tall lanky
: black metallic-plastic spiked humanoid that looks like
: na H.R. Geiger creation. Why THAT form?
here is something really far fetched, but...
maybe the trow made somt strange spiked guards out of iron, back in their golden age, and over time the iron rusted away and left the spirits, which are the mahir.
or...
they are the spirits of the calleach that were tortured by the trow, and made to look hideous, and there spirits are still left around tharsis, where they died
or...
they are spider cultists, that have a spider inside of them trying to get out, and the spikes on them are the legs, sticking out of the body.
