: 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?
Sure. Soulblighter taught lesser human mages to create Ghasts. And Cartucke showed Kyrilla how to create forms of undead even the Fallen Lords had never made (to our knowledge).
: 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?
: LR
Well, they're carefully selected and rigorously trained, but I suppose a bad apple or two can always make it in. I'd expect the most accessible avenue of corruption would be their fierce patriotism and devotion to the state; a Heron could perhaps turn into an unscrupulous fanatic willing to do whatever is necessary for "the good of the Empire," as he sees it. Kinda like those survivalist militia guys. "You can have my katana when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers..."
