: Since the wights are also called the children of Culwyeh,
: and since Gurps says Culwyeh is one of Shiver's names
: (or so I'm told), it's fair to say that Shiver was the
: creator of the wights. I just wonder when...was the
: Great War their first appearance? This might be so
: considering your units' reaction in "The Siege of
: Madrigal," when wights first make their
: appearance. Alternately, did she create them, say in
: the previous age (which might also explain why your
: units are so startled...i.e., wights haven't been seen
: in a thousand years).
I'm pretty sure they've been around for at least the length of the Great War, most likely longer. Siege from Madrigal was probably not their first appearance :
"Preceding the assault on Covenant...two score and nine Wights were herded into the Tiber an hour's march from the city, there to stand until they burst, rendering the water undrinkable."
So they were, at latest, around in the original battle for Covenant, and I'm sure someone else could find something dating them back even further, but I'm feeling quite lazy now and I have yet checked the other responses from yourself and Dan below ;)
