: Persoanlly, I don't think it would be as simple as that.
: The Bre'Unor roam across the Ermine in warbands of
: about 20, and, assuming that they know the woods at
: least as well as the Fir'bolg do, trying to hunt them
: all down would be virtually impossible. Not to mention
: the fact that the Ermine isn't exactly terra cognita
: as far as the humans are concerned. There's vast
: swathes of the Ermine which probably haven't been
: trodden by either human or Fir'bolg for thousands of
: years, if ever, and who knows what creatures could
: lurk there besides the Bre'unor? And as for using a
: conventional army to hunt down highly skilled
: headhunters on their own ground... have you ever heard
: of Vietnam?
Yeah I know, I was just saying that if Seraph used this idea, then this would make more sense. If it was as easy as straight-out war, one fo them would have won.
: Secondly, genocide doesn't seem to be that big a deal to
: the Mythers. We don't like the idea of it because our
: governments have taught us that it is a Bad Thing, but
: to the Mythers, it's a way of life.
Actually, we don't like it because it's horrific, and so neither would the Mythers - or they wouldn't care about "investigating reports of grave-robbing," (M2), which is far less worse.
:Connaught
: committed genocide against the Myrkrydia.
They were Devils, Nightmares, and monstrosities not of tbis world. They had EATEN humanity to near-extiction - they were savage animal monsters. They are PURE EVIL, and so deserved to be exterminated, just like when playing Doom nobody minds about wiping out the forces of Hell, but are pretty pissed that humanity's being munched on.
:Connaught
:well nigh committed genocide against the Trow.
They too wre trying to wipe out humanity, but he spared them as they weren't evil in nature.
:The
: Trow committed genocide against an unspecified but
: probably shockingly large number of other races.
But remember, they aren't the ones I said wouldn't participate in genocide, were they?
:The
: Dwarves and Ghols are awfully keen to commit genocide
: against each other, as are the Fir'bolg and
: Bre'unor...
Ghols consider Dwarves food, and Dwarves consider Ghols monsters, and they have fought them for ever...I doubt they think of each other as worhty of life anymore. A reggretable result of war. :(
Similar with bre'Unor and fir'Bolg, though since bre'Unor are human if they changed their ways they might make peace, or the fir'Bolg would miore likely take their women and children and slves and intergrate, albeit forecfully. :(
:See what I'm getting at? Even most of the
: "good" races are would-be mass murderers,
: and genocide seems to be one of the main ways that a
: great hero really becomes one.
Um...not really...you mean people like Balor, Moagim, Soulblighter and the Watcher, then?
They're what you call Leveller-material - hardly popular guys.
:People who start
: talking about "restructuring Bre'unor
: society" are liable to end up with a quiverful of
: arrows sticking in their backs.
Probably, until they defeat them.
: As for noble ol' Alric; is this the same noble ol' Alric
: who willingly sent his entire army of skilled and
: loyal followers to certain death at the gates of
: Rhi'anon that we're talking about?
There was no other way to defeat Balor, and they all knew it. They all went of their own free will, and so would he if he was in their position. There was simply no ther way to end the War - Balor was too strong, and Alric barely defeated him.
