: "Furor Poeticus" means "poetic
: madness." Certain cultures consider poets and
: bards to be both insane and divinely-inspired...their
: actions and words are not the product of reason but
: rather of the gods piping information directly into
: their brains. Basically, Myrdred's smart, creative and
: half-mad, and the Trow find that combination very
: interesting.
Aye.
: So no, they didn't hate everyone else. They had a
: superiority complex a light-year long, and most other
: races fell into the categories Ignore, Enslave or
: Exterminate, but individuals like Myrdred could still
: win their respect. You can see this in modern times,
: too...walk into the Trow lands and you'll generally
: get clobbered, but if you're gathering info for
: Antero's Bestiary they're willing to hang around and
: talk.
Yup.
: Plus, as I said, humans are small and Trow are good at
: ignoring things. Backed up by
: camouflage/transportation magics, they could sneak
: lots of places without the Trow noticing.
: An edifice *is* a building. :-)
Hehe.
: The Trow built everything for Nyx.
: Aside from the issue of whether Connacht was particularly
: interested in insulting the Trow, we have no reason to
: think he completely wrecked every city. We've seen a
: few areas of Rhi'ornin and Rhi'anon; Rhi'anon in
: particular was the heart of the Trow culture, so it
: would naturally be the most completely razed by
: Connacht. And even Rhi'anon had some columns and walls
: standing.
Oh! I thought you meant that Connacht just didn't touch some temples. I didn't think you meant "buildings left standing" meant ruins. Ok; well yeah, I'm sure we can agree on that. Ruins are naturally left standing.
In any case, I doubt that any shrine would actually remain high enough to collapse upon a mage and kill him, potentially, if it were after Connacht's rampaging.
Needless to say, we can be sure that the collapsing of the Shrine of Nyx did not happen after the Wind Age.
Also, Mazzarin the Shade would have needed to live for more like 2000 years, depending when in the Wind Age he was killed. Perhaps, keep it even at 1500? :-)
