: OK... my theory was wrong, missed that sidebar.
: No, I continue to believe that the "mad
: journeyman" was correct in saying that the myth
: world is a disc. In fact, just the other day I chanced
: upon something (I think it was the glossary in one of
: the manuals) which said that the Great Devoid was the
: endless pit in the CENTER OF THE WORLD. My theory is
: that the myth world is a disk with a whole in the
: middle, much like a CD, The Great Devoid is endless as
: it is just tunnel that goes strait through the world
: the world. Perhaps the theory about Mahir comming from
: the devoid (remember that from way-back-when?) Is
: correct as on the other side of the devoid is where
: the dead are held by the magics "no mortal could
: ever hope to master"
It would be a disc-world then!
: Disc, it's a disc :)
Hmmm.
: So we're discarding the Creator, Preserver, Destroyer
: theory?
No, look at above post (probably made by you actually!)
: One of many? The others being?
All the old races. Ones that didn't make it.
: So then who was Wyrd? One of the dark gods? Or was he
: just a being who had slept for eternity and just woke
: up? I know this is trivial but just wondering if you
: have an idea :)
I think Wyrd is just a god. It's silly trying to work out exactly who he is and his history. We just don't know. Make theories all you want, but they'll all be poo!
: DISC!
Square. Ok, disc.
: How do you explain the Trow having existed since the
: "dawn of time"? Perhaps time was created by
: Wyrd when he made his "dream world"
The dawn is not a single split-second, it takes time to happen. Thus, the trow were created right near the birth of the world, during the dawn of time.
: GURPS seems to imply that the Myrkridia were little more
: than feral animals (though pretty damn scary) before
: Moagim came along and organized them into a killer
: army. This would also explain the intelligence, size,
: and wierd death sequence of Myrk giants, they were
: probably just magically augmented myrks that Moagim
: created to help him command his armies.
GURPS says that about 1 in 100 Myrks become Large Myrks. It implies that this is natural.
: -Milk Man
: P.S. Forgot to make this point, if Wyrd was powerless
: after the shattering of the dream, according to your
: theory, how was he still making races?
He doesn't become powerless, just less powerful.
: P.P.S. GREAT THEORY!
I don't like theories. So there!
