: Did i miss something there?
: While we both agree that Bahl'al likely sought the dream

: to seek it, which is simply *not* *true.*
"Furthermore, because Mazzarin was killed by Thrall and the Watcher, it is necessary that Bahl'al's seeking of the dream of unlife come far before Mazzarin's death. Because this event occurred before even Connacht was born (some time in the Wind Age), there is no way Balor could have [i]ordered[/i] Bahl'al to seek the Dream of Unlife, a prerequisite for the implementation of Thrall."(emphasis mine)
Um...oops?
This is... probably the result of reading posts while tired.
I had assumed that you were somehow trying to prove that Bahl'al found the dream of unlife during the time of Balor. Which would have been impossible. Which is what we've both been saying.
So...
My bad? (quoth the Dwarf)
