The Unholy Consult / Kellhus, Kelmomas and the Narindar
« on: September 26, 2017, 06:24:07 pm »
Apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn't find anything by searching.

With the Narindar are they fated to be successful unless some interference by the No-God?

After thinking about Kellhus and the Narindar it seems that in order for him to survive both of the assassinations, he has to ultimately lose in his attempt to prevent the No-God. To prevent the No-God after the fact would cause a paradox in that he would not have had Kelmomas to prevent either assassination attempt from being successful.

Would Kellhus potentially had the knowledge that in order to survive he needed to have some form of contact with the No-God at both junctions, and that the No-God had to be revived? Or is this attributing a greater level of foresight than Kellhus would have possessed. It would seem to explain why he would go back to Mommen to rescue Kelmomas, and why he let him live as he would need him to become the No-God in order to save his past self. Also it would add further reason to why he has him in such a prominent position when Sorweel makes his attempt, possibly he was aware of the risk at that moment.

I can't quite reconcile it with how he met his end, except the fact he would know he has to lose at that point and Kelmomas has to be used for the No-God. It also relies on him having knowledge of Kelmomas role as the No-God prior to the first assassination attempt in order for him to go back to Mommen in the first place.

Or perhaps it is simply fate and that by going back to Momen to save Esmenet damns him by causing himself to need the No-Gods presence to survive by coming in contact with the Narindar, and therefore locking that future in place.
