Unprovable OOTS Therories

[Reathin]

The Greenhilt Family Sword (more specifically, its hilt) is the core of the Snarl's mind. After it was removed from the abomination after the first recreation, it has lashed out at random, hoping to reclaim its thoughts.

The hilt also seeks unity with its former unstoppable proto-divine nature, and has been manipulating things ever since. The Dark One (and by extension Redcloak and by further extension Xykon) have been fooled by the deep and subtle machinations of the hilt, which knows that if you inspire powerful villains, powerful heroes will show up that can break through the defenses left by the Order of the Scribble. It has come so close now, so tantalizingly close, to passing through one of the Gates to recombine (this most recent setback in the desert, with a gate ripped open and reasonably tempting given the circumstances, was particularly annoying). Furious at this turn of events, it now manipulates Hel and her new high priest into producing just enough conflict in the part so that, at the height of their tensions, a battle will break out amongst the order and the vampire. Knowing that Roy will not risk the lives of his people without a means of resurrecting them, and that their wills are mostly too weak to handle vampiric domination, he will jump through the Gate with them, hoping beyond all hope that his soul won't be destroyed in the process.

It won't. But the rest of the world might find that a preferable alternative to the Unified Snarl and its band of possessed Player Characters. Narrative causality on their side, The Order of the Snarl will be a blight upon reality such as the deepest pits of the Hells could not design.
