: Remind me to write a Delusions article about this soon...
: You all know my uber-theory, right? That ties the
: Dwarves, the Spiders, the Fetch, the Callieach, the
: Trow, the Great Devoid, the Dark Gods, the Ghols, the
: Tain, and everything all together? Well, I actually
: found a bit of evidence for the Dark Gods = Spider
: Gods bit.
: In "The Ibis Crown", there are those murals at
: the end. One depics humans fighting against Ghols -
: and the face beneath it seems pleased. The next mural
: depics humans that look like they're coming to some
: sort of a truce- and the face is evil and angry.
: Thinking that these could depics Light and Dark
: scenes, I got to thinking, why is the face happy at
: Dark but angry at Light?
: Well, then it occurred to me who BUILT those catacombs -
: the Dwarven Spider Cults, the Smiths of Muirthemne. So
: they could be depicting the Spider Gods' displeasure
: at human peace, and their happiness at war.
: But then the Ghols part struck me - Ghols aren't a
: notoriously dark, evil race, so why have them as the
: enemy in that mural? Then I remembered my Spider Gods
: = Dark Gods theory. The Ghols worship the Dark Gods.
: So the Smiths' Spider Gods would be happy with Ghols
: attacking humans, because the the Ghols are their kin
: as well.
Fascinating :)
: All this makes me wonder, though, if the Dwarven Smiths
: knew the Ghols worshipped their gods, why do Ghols and
: Dwarves have such hatred for eachother?
That's not hard. The Smiths were the only dwarves who worshipped those gods. The vast majority of dwarves weren't and aren't Smiths/Spider Cultists, so there is nothing to prevent hatred for the ghols and their arcane gods.
