The Thousandfold Thought / Re: Who attacked the Scarlet Spires and why?
« on: December 31, 2013, 07:17:27 pm »
One of my issues with the theory that the Cish are really the ones behind the attack is the whole "stepping out of a portal" thing. Are there any other examples of the Cish (or any others for that matter) stepping out of portals, or teleporting, besides this? Kell obviously notwithstanding. I was under the impression that he was the first to be able to do anything like this, and it is accmplished in a different way.
If the Cish had this ability, then wouldn't they have used it in the Holy War? It can't be the case that only a select few had the power to do this, because I can't believe they would sacrifice the only ones capable of creating these portals on a suicide mission.
I don't know who else it could have been... other than maybe some other entity from the Outside? I don't recall what the description of the Ciphrang's arrival into the world is like, but maybe it is something along those lines? Is it possible there was an inner struggle within the Scarlet Spires and some rival Daimos weilding faction is involved? It is certainly a stretch... but I just can't accept the Cish argument here. Kell's assumptions seem to be based on so little factual evidence and do not seem to coincide with what I can recall of how the Cish work.
