: Well then. Bahl'al, father of Thrall, went looking for
: the Dream of Unlife. Wights are described as
: "unliving," "undead,"
: "dead" and "a corpse given new
: life."
: That pretty much settles it, doesn't it?
: "Unlife" and "Undeath" mean
: exactly the same thing in Myth.
Well, we don't know for sure, but I'm willing to not be too agressive towards this :-).
: "Unlife" is
: the term commonly used by the more learned and poetic
: Mythworlders..."undead" is used by the
: instructional part of the manual and by the narrator
: when he's bitching about how cold it is.
Lol! Very nice :-).
That's a nice theory, but there isn't much proof for it
I'd prefer just leaving the very uncommonly used term of "unlife" away from general discussion for now since we don't know much of anything about it, except that it might relate to Wights and that The Watcher was searching for its respective Dream
: So everybody's wrong. :-)
And Sili's right? :-) I see how it is, hehe; always the same :-).
: We can use "unliving"
: or "undead" to describe all them d00ds.
Sure.
: If
: we want to distinguish between sentient and
: non-sentient undead, or at least establish some sort
: of IQ continuum, we should use different terminology.
Totally agreed! ::cracks Latin-English dictionary::
: And the Dream of Unlife must either be the only way of
: creating undead/unliving being, or an exceptionally
: powerful way...
Well, that might be so if unlife is equal to undead.
I would tend to believe, however, that the Dream of Unlife could reverse the state of life and death, perhaps; that the dead become alive and the alive dead
no undeath or artificial animation.
: no longer any reason to think of it as
: a method of creating sentient undead as opposed to
: nonsentient ones.
Agreed, especially with unlife being used for Wights.

Yay! We agree again, sorta, Silia! :-)
