Can't take the anticipation, Trisk ?
Quote from: MadnessCan't take the anticipation, Trisk ?I would pluck out any heart; murder the world to see TUC released. On a serious note, I really am excited for this one. I was mildly disappointed by TJE but really excited to see what happened next, and then I was really happy w/ WLW for the most part, but dying to see what came next. There is still just so much we're just guessing at. Not just parts of the plot, but huge parts of the history, the metaphysics, finally seeing the Nonmen and the Consult in earnest, etc...
I've attempted my first merging of topics - hopefully this worked out.
Similar thread on 3c's concluded that the no-god is, in fact, an apache gun-ship.
The only helicopter lol...Welcome back, Curethan. Hope the academics are going well.
Well, Jesus keeps popping up on TPB to demand unholy consult, but he's had no effect as yet. Pretty good tricks though.

Since I'm new to the forum I'm not sure wheteher I'm adressing an issue that has beed adressed befor..e. But, since soul-shifting would appear to a key consult stategy to escape damnation, do any of you think that the no-god could be the result of a pooling of consult souls into some sort of common container? (having in mind that the first chapter of 'Unholy Consult' takes place two years before the no-god)
"consult souls" is ambiguous, since there are only (as far as we know) just a few souls that actually make up the consult. However if you just mean souls in general that the consult have collected, then I'd say its possible. Considering the effects of the mass slaughter (like the topos) compounded with some higher understanding of the outside and its machinations, its at least possible the the pooling of an extremely large number of souls all into one place could create the no-god.
Does the No-God have agency? Hot topic! Is it its own entity?Welcome, Galbrod.
Thanks madness :-) That all infants were born dead as a result of the bringing of the No-god could be seen as an indicator that the No-god somehow interfered with the ordinary passage of souls. (stopping any potential damned souls from leaving the world as well as stopping new ones from entering the world). I'm thinking something in line with the Shield-anvil role of the Malazan books by Steven Erikson, but in a more sinister consult-variant...
I definitely like Erikson/Bakker analogies. Erikson's mortal avatars always tickled me pleasured lol.
Super Nerdanel but the No-God is Ajolki.The No-God is an entity from the Outside, who died in mortal form, and returned to the Outside. This is why Ajolki is the Trickster, the four-horned brother, the one God not blind to the Apocalypse. His avatars worship murder.
I love how we used to give Nerdanel guff and yet we are now a bunch of Nerdanels. I love that theory. Did we get it confirmed somewhere that Ajokli isn't blind to the Apocalypse? But I don't know how much WHAT DO YOU SEE?-ing would go on w/ Ajokli if he's not blind.
