: 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"
Ok, that would explain why everything to the east of the Edge of All is Dark, but then how do you explain the Faraway, the other continent to the West, where it is supposedly a constant age of pure light?
: So we're discarding the Creator, Preserver, Destroyer
: theory?
I would, yeah. I can't figure how it would fit with what we know. What about the Dark Gods? Where do they fit into that? The nature of the gods in Myth seems to be something like the Roman gods; they're just like people, except really powerfull, and with odd circumstances surrounding their creation (Wyrd woke up from a dream and suddenly existed, the Leveller somehow created himself; like how Minerva sprang from Zeus' forehead. Weird stuff).
: One of many? The others being?
Others. I dunno. I figure it's unlikely that there was a planet with only one species on it, so there must have been other besides the Ghols. Maybe the Mauls. The Banded Wasps from Chimera. The Skrael. Who knows?
: 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'm really at a loss at to what, exactly, the Myth gods are, or how they came to be. The Dark Gods are easy enough, we can just say they existed forever. Nyx, we dunno, maybe one of the Dark Gods. Wyrd? He woke up one morning and there he was, existing. The Leveller? No idea whatsoever.
: 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"
"Dawn of time" is figurative. As in, since the beginning of the world.
: 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?
According to my theory, the One Dream was shattered in response to him having created the Younger Races. He hasn't created anything else since.
: P.P.S. GREAT THEORY!
Thanks :-)
