: I just thought I might make one tiny suggestion: what do
: you suppose happens when Forest Giants die a 'natural
: death' (har har)? Little has been said for their
: biological life, especially their customs to deal with
: any social things they might do or that surround more
: vital parts of their existence.
mb they flop over and their wood gets all brown and icky and a termite colony moves in. ;)
: I have two suggestions about the deaths of FGs that might
: fit with one mystery or another: 1) The fire-lava
: thing in the FH level serves the purpose of none other
: than cremating the FGs that are ready to pass on. It
: may be that they worship the lava (as it comes from
: deep in the earth), and when their time comes, they
: 'give themselves to it', by ceremoniously walking into
: the flames, and returning to the earth that bore it.
So that's why the have a fire god thingy!
: 2) If something like this is true, then maybe it is that
: same ceremony that incarnates a new tree, hence the
: rows of trees we see in FH. Reaching a little further,
: we might speculate that as each new tree is
: incarnated, a new FG is incarnated, and the tree and
: the FG may share some bond, which gives them a
: life-service to the forest.
Sorta like the Ewoks in Star Wars (though you wouldn't know it unless you have the Illustrated Star Wars Universe)
: Just a thought :P
OMG!
