: Runes are associated with Dreams very closely. We know
: that in order to learn the Dream you must find the
: Rune that it relates to. In the case of the Dream of
: Unlife, it is buried under The Deep at Si'anwon. that
: is the only Dream so far that the exact location is
: known.
: Now I doubt that a Dream can be destroyed or else the
: Trow would have simply destroyed the Dream of Unlife
: and secured that all 49 Dreams would never be united.
: If a Rune Stone could be destroyed then the Dream
: itself would still survive, but in another form.
Your assuming they would want to and that they knew where it was. You could also argue that the Trow did destroy it, which is why the Watcher couldn't find it.
: Now we also knowerful mages can be reincarnated multiple
: times. But for some reason each time they are
: reincarnated they lose a part of their previous life.
: Balor became more powerful after each of his deaths.
: Shiver on the other hand lost power. So is there a
: handicap along with being reincarnated?
You're talking about three different things. Balor and the Deceiver used extra lives spells, so that when they were killed, they could come right back. There's also re-incarnation, where the person dies and comes back by being born. They have a different body, none of there previous memories, and nothing in common with their previous life except their soul and low-level racial memory type stuff. Shiver's spirit was made corporeal using Tramist's mirror.
: We also know that no mage has found all 49 of the Dreams.
: Mazzarin was considered among the more powerful
: Avatara of the ages, but was slain by the Watcher just
: before Connacht rose to power. It seems to be a quest
: of sorts, where each Archmage must traverse to all 49
: Dreams before being proclaimed the victor. Let me know
: what you think about these ideas.
GURPS implies that most of the dreams haven't been found at all. I'd assume that people don't normally tell other when they find a runestone because they want to keep the power to themselves, not because there's some kind of contest.
