Army of Darkness, anyone? :)
I figure since Shae will have a puppet army of empty vessels, making him more of less invincible as he jumps out of a corpse before its destroyed. Undefinable army of undead zombie sorcerers.
But if Shae doesn't control his motion, is that throwing shanks to the wolf of my argument? If he has to fall continuously in a circular fashion he's going to be jumping from corpse to corpse.
As for Synthese, I do think it might be possible for Shae and other Consult magi to pilot one but I have my doubts.
I'm also not sure if a Synthese dying results in the death of the soul piloting it. Would Aurang pilot one if such was the case? We're talking about a being that is absolutely terrified of dying, so I'd think he'd find a lackey to do so if his soul was in danger of leaving Earwa.
I thought the circle amputees were all previous members of the Menggecca. I don't think the Consult are breeding humans, but thats not the main issue. All their experiments in the Pit of Obscenity would certainly create a topos. Did they know this would happen? Is it part of creating the No-God?
I don't know, but its an interesting idea that a race so terrified of death/hell would make a topos out of their home.
Anyone think its possible that the Consult have human slaves that they can use against the Consult. Or not even slaves, but groups of men that worship them as gods that live in the wild north? Could cause trouble at Dagliash if they throw an extra army into the Ordeal's flank.
Speculation: If Mog is viewed as a weapon of animata constructed from 144k broken souls and poised to upend the existing metaphysics of Earwa, perhaps Kellhus could be viewed as a weapon of animata constructed from a single unbreakable soul to oppose him.Then by extension, The Great Ordeal that surrounds him is as mindless and expendable as No-God's army of soulless sranc. To Kellhus, a soul that can be broken is the same as not having a soul at all.
Back to the subject of the post: the great tubular bell of the interval is actually a cannon. Every time they ring the interval, it's collecting souls. By the time they reach Golgotterath, Kellhus is gonna smack it on the ass and it'll go off like a gigantic Roman candle, fire hundreds of thousands of souls straight at the Ark. Kablooooie! Done. Best anti-climactic ending ever.
Nanomata ;)?wrong direction. Bigger is better. Yottamata!

OOOHHHH, that's how Kellhus will get rid of the Ark! He'll force a god or the god into it and make it fly off.
