So we all know the currently known races came from splintered gods, (Merians from Marinus, Aslaran from Aslarn, Elfen from Elfenohala, etc). Now the question is, what happens should a genocide be performed? Would all traces of the divine be gone or will it allow the 'essence' of the divine to reform, reincarnating or ressurecting back to the divine?

If you turn into Ragnarok and slay Orphan, we will find out.

According to the histories, there were a lot of races completely wiped out by the Soulless, so I'd say they'd just cease to exist.

If you look around Hifarae enough you'll find two spirits that are all that is left race of fauns.

There is no precedent for races reforming into gods, even though many races have existed that were since devoured by Kethuru.

Makes for a great Ask Estarra question!

I want Vernals.

Even if it's just NPC Vernals. Gimme a none-elder divine!

Are you suggesting that we could have a Dragonball-Z like fusion, where they do a dance and then combine together into a single being?

Uhhhh....Sure?
Doman2010-05-07 23:24:48
well, if you could bring enough of the race together, and extract their "Sparks" in a controlled environment, whose to say the god could not be reconstituted in a weak form....Time to write me another library book about gnome genocide...

Hmmmmmmmmm, maybe changelings should be able to take on the races of some of the races that went extinct? O_o
Doman2010-05-07 23:42:51
I've said that before, but it ain't happening. It's not fair, even if we paid 1000 creds for it. We don't even get all the languages tongue.gif

Pfft, isn't she a ghost? A Vernal ghost yeah, but that doesn't count!

Not Marilynth - and she's a spirit, not a ghost.

I'm not sure what the difference between the two would be. And hrm... what other vernal is there?

EDIT: Oh wait, nvm, her. She barely counts too!

Barely counts?! She's a full-fledged Vernal Goddess, and an NPC. She's even alive from the Vernal Wars! suspicious.gif
Lehki2010-05-08 01:12:00
Even in the quest involving her, all she does is sit there sleeping. ):

She sucks. All she does is cry or sleep.

Little do you know, that's all the Vernal Gods did.

It's also why Elder Gods are better. ninja.gif

Sounds like a case of wanting cake and desiring to eat it, too!
