Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
The way I take it is, Beings of Death can't do anything to him while he wields the sword - e.g. beings of the Underworld/Abyss and whatnot. (Abyssals, Infernals, Deathlords, Neverborn, Yozis...hungry ghosts...pigeons...and such.)

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Something tells me it would appear in an antagonist's position, just from the demands of the narrative.
It's ok except for his word choice and failure to fully expound upon his intent and meaning there.
Because it doesn't really sound like he gave up his ignorance, it sounds closer to him giving up his ability to forget things over time except that doesn't even fully encapsulate what vague-ness we did run into.
The story part is good, but the treatment of his sacrifice and implications just bug the **** out of me.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
There's lots of other reasons.
The Deathlords fight each other all the time, and a powerful anti-deathlord weapon would therefore be very valuable to them.
More than that, if it has power over the Neverborn, the FaFL might be able to get free using it. Using the keys, he could open his armor; using the Sword of Vitality, he could prevent the Neverborn from having any sway over him, so they can't re-imprison him. At that point he'd be free to take over the world -- it's pretty much just the Neverborn holding him back out of spite for his past failures.
Remember, the FaFL doesn't actually want to destroy the world ("Egad, I hope not! That's where I keep all my stuff!") He agreed to do it because that was the only way for him to get power again, but what he really wants is to rule the world, not to kill it. He would definitely be interested in anything that would let him stab the Neverborn in the back -- he's not really on the Neverborn's side. He's on his own side; the Neverborn just happened to be a stepping-stone to power along the way.
The FaFL may even be the ghost of someone Misho knew in life (technically, the only reason we know he's not Misho's ghost is because the FaFL wasn't a Primordial War survivor, and Misho was. But even that could be tweaked if Keychain's canon is different.)Last edited by Aquillion; 2010-10-01 at 06:45 PM.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Ok, here is where I go and own up to something; the story of the Blade of Vitality actually pre-dates Keychain of Creation, in the form of a custom artifact that I made way back in the days of First Edition. Although I rewrote the story, not much of it has been changed in essence.
So, you see, there are actually definted traits and powers for the Blade. One, that it's utterly indestructible, two that whoever owns it doesn't age and is much healthier than a normal human, three that it makes you immune to the powers of deathly beings (ghosts, abyssals, deathlords and the neverborn) and four that it itself deals aggravated damage to those beings.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Given that the only other utterly indestructable things in the settings are the exaltations, it seems I wasn't far off the mark when speculating about merging an exaltation with a weapon.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Well there is a parallel in the Abyssals and their monstrances - the exaltation isn't kept within the monstrance but is linked to it, so maybe there is a similar situation there?

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
The particular Solar speculated to have become the Silver Prince was an upstanding fellow against whom not a word should be said! Nor am I wearing a white veil. I don't know why you never asked that, as we are not even having this conversation.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
Nonsense, horngeek. As kamikasei said, Desus is a hallmark of kindness and heroics! That the page you suggest spends more time speaking of his atrocities than those of the Neverborn and Ebon Dragon combined -- the latter of whom likely created and embodies the concept of Complete Monstrosity, mind you... Well, it's clearly all slander and lies.

Re: Keychain of Creation IV: The Lore Thing
So this is after they all start going crazy or before?
Because I think I have a new favorite person if he started doing that even before they were all frothing at the mouth like CE-incarnate....
