: I have no problems with the Dwarves being the Cultists,
: but I really doubt that the spiders came from another
: dimesion. We know that they don't only exist in the
: Tain (there is a unused flavor saying how humans
: threaten thier children with tales of "the
: many-legged buggers," or something to that
: effect.
Sure, Spiders exist outside the Tain, but that doesn't mean they didn't come from (or through) it. Fetch exist outside their dimension, too.
: The Tain is an extradimensional pocket that,
: as we see when it's broken, has nothing outside of it,
: no Spider world, no Fetch world, no nothing (double
: negative :P).
But that doesn't mean it can't lead to another dimension, being a sort of in-between world.
: BTW where did you get the story about
: the spider queens being summoned from skulls? As far
: as I remember thats how the Myrkridia are summoned....
: In my view the spiders are just as part of this world
: as the Dwarves, the Krids and the Trow.

: If lighting makes things allied with the fetch then count
: Alric in too, remember Balmung? Just because something
: produces a similar effect to another thing doesn't
: mean that they are one and the same.
If lightning was my only connection, I would agree with you here. Though it could be noted the KIND of lightning used - Balor has green, Balmung has yellow, but both the Fetch and the Tain towers are white. Then again, so is the Bow of Furious Incandesance.
: As for the
: engraving I tend to agree more with the "Legends
: and Lore" section of B.org in that it looks oddly
: like some of H.P. Lovecraft's creations.
Remember that I run this site, so you're just agreeing with me. :-)
And just because something looks Lovecraftian doesn't mean it's not something else in the Myth world. The whole Tain and all of the Smiths' creations look Lovecraftian.
: Also remember
: that the fetch weren't around at the same time as the
: smiths. The smiths built a bunch of stuff and then
: dissapeared around the time of Connacht (spelled
: right?). Balor later summoned them from another
: dimension during his reign as the Leveler.
But if the Dwarven Smiths worshipped the Spider-gods, and the Fetch were from their world, don't you think they would know some thing about creatures from that realm? Maybe that's how Balor found out about the Fetch in the first place, with the Tain.
: edge. Also, If my theory is incorrect, one of yours is
: as well. You yourself just said that Ghols live near
: the Devoid, which is _definently_ part of Wyrds
: vision.
The Ghols live around the Great Devoid. That doesn't prohibit them from living elsewhere too.
