The Unholy Consult / Re: Why Kelmomas?
« on: January 23, 2018, 02:02:11 am »
The carpace doesn't need a body, the Consult only knew that it needs a soul. My crackpot is that the No-God is Samarmus.
When the twins were separated, it seems both souls entered Kelmomas' body, leaving Samarmus a shell. The voice is confirmed to be Samarmus and, as amoral as Kelmomas is, I believe Samarmus is the actually evil one compelling him to kill people. After Samarmus the boy is pushed, the voice expresses that he wished he was killed much earlier than that. There's something sinister about eagerness to kill his former body, the hatred of wanting to see your physical form killed.
When Inrilatas talks with Kelmomas in WLW, he's Whelming him. He brings out Samarmus, who is the one who admits he would stack the screams of this world to the sky if he could. It was that passage that suggested to me that Kelmomas could be the No-God and with Kellhus saying in TUC that the two souls intermittently exchange the one acting and thinking, that also makes me think the monster is Samarmus. I'm not sure if he's inherently irredeemable, maybe he just went insane from inhabiting someone else's body while they're also thinking and conversing with you.
The gods can't see him because the Absolute is collapsing subject and object - the gods see a body and they see his souls. It's understandable why they wouldn't take notice that there's a second soul inside of him.
IMO this would be a nice way to pull the different plot threads together, the second voice inside of his head and his ultimate placement into the sarcophagus.
