The Unholy Consult / Re: The Unholy Consult Giveaway
« on: June 01, 2017, 03:08:19 pm »
The No-God arrives, speaks to Kellhus, becomes cognizant of its own nature and transforms into a broken philosophical zombie. Kellhus puts the No-God out of its misery, eliminates this metaphysical black hole from the reality of Earwa with the unconscious help of Drusas, perishes by the hand of the new Judas – Proyas (just as planned) and reincarnates in Mimara’s newborn baby to lead the humankind through the Golden Path.

5) Prediction: Serwa will not show any signs of mental instability.
The half-breed Dunyains are broken tools, sharp and exceptional, but uncontrollable. She looks and acts like a normal human being. Just like Kellhus before he had become the Emperor. She is one of the Conditioned who grew up in the strictest discipline and honed her mind with the study of the Gnosis. She is not mad. She is dangerous.

6) Prediction: Achamian and Mimara will stay in ruined Ishual.  She is pregnant and probably unable to move. They have to shelter from the winter. Thus, Achamian will have enough time to do some archeology and reveal at least a few secrets of the Dunyain.

7) Prediction: A whirlwind that surrounds the No-God is the side effect. It is a visual confirmation that the metaphysical ‘immune system’ of Earwa fights with something that is completely alien, something that doesn’t belong to this universe.

4) Prediction: The Nonmen will find a way to continue their race.

Explanation:  These guys have two variants: join the Consult and restart the damaged world or join the Emperor and fight with aliens. Of course, the Consult can promise them a lot and we know that many of them have already been serving the Consult. However, they will choose the Emperor, if they will find the way to reproduce.

What if Serwa can conceive and bear a hybrid? After all, she is a genetically modified, super-hot witch. And I suppose that Anasurimbors may have genes of the Nonmen.

My second theory has no proves at all and it cannot stand against Occam's razor. However, what if Sorweel can bargain with his goddess. Yatwer is the goddess of fertility. Maybe Yatwer can somehow stimulate ordinary women to bear the hybrids. In this case, Sorweel will become an enormously valuable subject of bargaining. Maybe he is an intermediary between those who suffer from a lack of ability to reproduce and the goddess of fertility. Gods wish to destroy Kellhus. Why not use the Nonmen, hitting at their weak point? I know that this is nonsense, but I am sure that Sorweel will play a great role in future.

3) Prediction: Cnaiur is dead. Moenghus is dead. Elvis is dead. They were awesome. They died. Dixi.

Prediction: We'll see a metaphysical explanation why Eärwa is so hateful and indigestible for the Consult.
"BECAUSE THIS WORLD YET LIVES!" "BECAUSE THIS WORLD REFUSES TO DIE!"

The question is what is so special about this planet? It is the endpoint of the Consult’s Crusade. The Last World. However, it has a spirit of John McClane and refuses to die. Maybe it is the first world where exists such a strange phenomenon as magic. The ontological principles of this world differ from all others. Why?

2) Prediction: The Scylvendi will cooperate with the Consult.

Explanation: They worship the No-God. They’ve had enough time to train new warriors. Sons of dead fathers are eager to cut fresh swazonds. Surely, Kellhus had no time or resources to cosplay Lawrence of Arabia and organize them in accordance with his needs. However, the Consult had. For centuries, the Consult didn’t recruit new allies. Now they must and the Scylvendi is an excellent choice.

1) Prediction: The Unholy Consult will be forced to create new spy strategies and act against the Empress, using the lower orders.

Explanation: For centuries, the skin-spies were ideal spies. That is a problem because it means that the members of the Consult have neither experience of acting in difficult situations, nor a developed infrastructure. Firstly, now they cannot replace someone who has a real power. The fake would be immediately detected. Secondly, they never had the need to verify the information. The skin-spies cannot lie to their makers. Unlike them, human spies can be bought, seduced or blackmailed. That is why every military intelligence organization incorporates services that verify the received data. The Consult is not the Abwehr or the GRU. They have no such experience. For centuries, they were too good and now it works against them. Now Kellhus can feed the Consult with disinformation. When they realize this, they will have to rebuild their spy network. They have to forget about authorities and replace ordinary people who are of no interest to the Emperor’s family.
Ergo, they will reorganize themselves and use more spies, replacing clerks, sellers or soldiers, provoking riots and spreading panic. The Civil War has begun and the Consult wouldn’t neglect a chance to tear the Empire apart.
