: Just a question about the Myth world, and certain things
: in it.
: Firstly, with Soulblighter and the Fallen Lords dead, is
: it still possible to raise the dead? I mean, could
: Thrall and Wights still be created by someone who
: wasn't a Fallen Lord, such as a Necromancer or an
: Avatara?
If you believe that the Dream of Unlife is all it takes to create Thrall then yes I think any powerful magic user capable of casting a Dream Spell could make them.
: Secondly- Heron Guard are human, I'd assume, so they
: experience all of the normal human emotions such as
: lust, jealousy etc? I am just thinking, as sworn
: defenders, would they be shining examples of humanity
: (such as Paladins in AD&D). OK, enough beating around
: the bush. I want to know, can Heron Guard/J-Men by
: corrupted by any means short of a Binding Dream?
It must be possible for them to be corrupted, however I believe it is highly unlikely since only six are carefully chosen every seven years to join them and the honour of being chosen is so great that they would sacrifice their lives in place of any harm coming to the Cath Bruig. These brave and renowned men were the Emperor's personal guard until they disbanded and must have been the most trustworthy warriors in the whole of MythWorld. These guys learnt how to heal people from roots, carried 9 times their own weight, and left their warrior ways to pursue life away from home all in penance! They're piously devoted to their Empire and Emperor. I somehow doubt anyone could corrupt them just like that. These fellas are indeed shining examples of humanity.
Incidentally, do you think a Binding Dream would work on them?
