: Interesting thing that just occurred to me. The first
: place we ever heard of the One Dream was from Acer
: Magnum Malus, the Trow who talked to Antero's student
: Ewan. He said that Connacht was merciful on them, and
: instead of "returning [them] to the One
: Dream", he imprisone them beneath Rhi'anon. From
: this, I figured that the One Dream was some sort of
: "other side", the spirit realm, and that
: when one dies one is returned to it.
: But now we know that the One Dream is the source of
: Wyrd's power, where he first saw the world and got his
: inspiration. And that it has since been shattered into
: 49 Dreams of Wyrd.
: So... when were the Trow in the One Dream, what were they
: doing there, and how could Connacht return them to it?
: Was it still around in Connacht's time, and just
: recently shattered?
I can think of two possibilities--either the Trow are referring to the future (a variant of the Omega Point theory--when the One Dream is reformed it will contain all the information representing all the beings in the history of the world, so to kill a being is to remove them from the universe until they reappear in the One Dream), or the 49 Dreams, rather than being the components of the One Dream, are simply fragments broken off it leaving a much larger whole, to which inhabitants of this universe (constructed from the detached fragments) return when they die. Who else has a random baseless theory?
