: But what if Alric DID turn to a page near his own fate?
: You say his not being at the Devoid is how he
: survived. If Alric had died, this more than likely
: would have been a Dark age by now. But Alric survived,
: by not being at the Devoid. Why wasn't he there? Maybe
: he turned to a page that spoke of his death at the
: Great Devoid, and then didn't go there.
But Alric not dying at the Devoid when the Codex says he does would create a paradox, and that is generally thought to be Not A Good Idea.
: As for him not seeing Soulblighter's War... that brings
: up another interesting point. Who DID see
: Soulblighter's war, a mere 60 years into his own
: future? That's pretty close to one's own fate. And
: writing that information down in his journal helped
: the Light survive when Soulblighter returned with the
: Myrkridia, just as he foresaw... You see where I'm
: going with this?
