: I would think it was the Smiths at first, because they
: were obviously adept at interdimensional travel, and
: because Dwarves know how to repair Knots and the
: Smiths were Dwarves. But then the question arises, why
: did they build one in Rhi'anon, Trow territory?
perhaps they built the rhianon knot around the time that Connacht melted the trow cities? mb they were used to ferry equipment and food and weapons and stuff for the troops, as i'm assuming Connacht didnt just go up there all by his lonesome self.
but if that was the reason, and it was that easy to make knots, then you'd expect knots to be at every little village and town as well, so i guess my theory has a flaw:)
: So my next idea was that the Trow built them. It is said
: that the Knots are ancient relics, and who's more
: ancient that the Trow?
i dont think the knots look very Trowish. color, architectural shape, not to mention the physical size of the things don't look like they were built with tr0 in mind.
: The third, and wildest theory, is what if the Knots are
: even older than the Trow? What if they were created
: before the world, on the old world ruled by the Old
: Gods, by the Sovereigns of the Time Before - the
: Callieach.
omg, wild theoreez rool.
but weren't the callieach about the same physical size as trow? it seems to me that whoever made the knots were more or less human sized.
:The big flaw here though is how would the
: Knots survive the creation of the world?
mb most of em didnt. there were probably knots all over the place way back in pre-wyrd time, the ones in existance today might just be the lucky remnant that survived wyrds creation, and making the cloudspine and all that.
