===Near Perfect Undeath=== The matriarch of dragonkind, the beast on wing, death incarnate, the Wrath of Shadow, Zardrix is our greatest success. A gift given unknowningly by our masters to the Fallen One, the Hate of Aryth. An ultimate success of undeath, created by the device of our master's whims. Who then is the true gods of Aryth, that which revolts from the light or they that hold the beacon, allowing the Enemy to cast Shadow? Yes... it is with this that the world will come to destiny, the culmination of our master's work. The body not killed, living but dead within. The mind surpressed from feelings of heart. What became of her is - "living undeath". What pulses and pumps the dread ichor within her veins then if heart is lost? So comes the next incarnation of a plan set in motion when the world was young... <br> There is a great and grotesque necromantic experiment walking the lands of the world. Yet her black blood moves as with the tethered dead, the fuels of unlife. However the demand on the body of the beast yet beckons, two and ten times the worth of replenishment of feast and dream is call for the Wrath to maintain the Thing on Wings - lest the clutches be lost... For her neck is as thick and long as a maudrial tree, and her wingspan could cover an entire village. She trails smoke, fire, and darkness behind, and an unearthly roar precedes, heralding the destruction that she will wreak. <br> But the masters may now fear even themselves knowing that the cutting of the pump from her breast is long lost by the powers of those of Black Blood, this Claws of Zardrix is lost to mankind. Yet she is still a tool to more than one, the near perfect undeath. '''<font color="990066">Bill's Questions:</font>''' * "Our masters" refers to what? : <font color=red>ANSWER: "our masters" = those that control/made "you". "You" being the Cadaverous Eye.</font> * ''"Yet her black blood moves as with the tethered dead, the fuels of unlife."'' - Here "as with" seems to imply that if the tethered dead stopped moving, so would her blood. Her blood moves as if her blood were with the Fell (or undead)? The sentence structure also implies that the tethered dead are the fuels of unlife. Can this sentence be clarified please? It's unclear if this is just nonsense or if it is supposed to be saying something, but I can't see any sense to be made out of this. : <font color=red>ANSWER: What you "implied" is very much in the direction of what was intended. I won't offer more meaning though. That's part of the mystery. Don't overanalyze the sentence structure though - I'm a GM not a writer. </font> :: <font color="990066">Bill: I don't mean to be critical of your grammar, I totally understand that you aren't typing as if this is ready for print or anything. But the few mistakes that have had a big affect on my understanding have to be dealt with, of course.<br>As for this question, what I wrote about the implication is supposed to indicate a problem of non-sense. I'm pretty sure that the implication wasn't supposed to be an impossibility.<br>If I were to guess what this might mean, it would be, ''"Yet her black blood moves as it does with the tethered dead - it is the fuels of unlife."'' This is absolutely '''not''' what the sentence says, but I bet that's what you ''meant''. Is that sort of accurrate?</font> * Is "the Wrath" (Zardrix) the same as "The Thing on Wings"? : <font color=red>ANSWER: Yes. I like using other references to characters like that.</font> * ''"two and ten times the worth of replenishment of feast and dream is call for the Wrath to maintain the Thing on Wings... "'' Another sentence that doesn't make sense. It in other words: "12 times" what the value is for a "replenishment of feast and dream" is currently required (from "is call", a present-tense form) so that the Wrath (Zardrix) can maintain herself. I don't think this is right, because it doesn't make sense given the context. : <font color=red>ANSWER: 'called'... Try to read what I meant. Not the grammar mistakes. Otherwise your thought is correct. ie. She FEEDS and SLEEPS alot to sustain that body.</font> :: <font color="990066">Ah, thanks!</font> * Is a maudrial tree the thing you detailed to us before, when we were at Hamlet? Same thing as that tree? : <font color=red>ANSWER: Yes. But in this case "maudrial tree" is really only a descriptive reference for how big her neck alone is... Think of it as the size of a Redwood! Walden's home was built into a maudrial tree. This is a tree of Eredane, from the books...</font> * ''"But the masters may now fear even themselves knowing that ..."'' The masters fear themselves knowing? Or the masters themselves fear that...? : <font color=red>ANSWER: The masters fear what they know that may become of this mess... They're afraid of the situation that could happen</font> * The masters of the Wrath, from the rest of this information, are understood by Kyuad to be the Order of Shadow, yes? : <font color=red>ANSWER: Yes.</font> * ''"... the cutting of the pump from her breast is long lost by the powers of those of Black Blood, this Claws of Zardrix is lost to mankind."'' The cutting is lost? Or the pump (heart) is lost? : <font color=red>ANSWER: The pump is lost. How to do it is lost. The "Black Blood" have/had the power find/do it. But they lost it.</font> ** Who are "those of Black Blood"? Is that implied to be those who are undead, or those whose blood is figurtively black due to serving the Shadow? : <font color=red>ANSWER: No it is not implied that they are undead, they they might be now. That is unknown to you. Figurtively black - Yes. But it is also a name of a people... Who? If you don't know, Kyaud won't know until you learn in game. That's part of the mystery. </font> ** The sentence implies that the cutting is the "Claws of Zardrix," but a cutting is an event, not a thing. I don't understand how an event that is known could be "lost." : <font color=red>ANSWER: This misunderstanding is because you don't know what the "Claws of Zardrix" references exactly.</font> :: <font color="990066">Well, the pump is lost. The "Claws" is/are lost. Might be the same thing. Might as well assume so for now.</font>
