The Spiders, while not all Spider shamans, do have a few. Black Widow, the leader, and Wolf, one of her lieutenants, at the least are both Spider totem, and every recruit is forced to go on a vision quest to see Spider as part of the initiation process (although unless Black Widow knows some crazy magic or has free spirit around with Astral Gate, we can assume it is more drug induced than a true vision quest). Was Spider freed from her corruption?

I noticed that this only appears to go up until the very early days of the Awakening -- would anyone care to explain the whole Almais/Der Nachtmachen thing, and what happened with him in Night's Pawn, his whole relationship with his brother in Europe, etc....that's really more relevant in this day and age. :)

Okay, one of you explain how we got to Spider the Totem and his multi-segmented servants from the Secrets of Power Trilogy.
For now: Way back in the Day, FASA put out an adventure for ED called Infected. In it, a young human girl (Aardeala) became bonded with the drake spirit inhabiting the crumbling Book of Blue Spirits, written in a sort of Draconic-Sperethiel. There was also an obsidian statue of a dragon. Well, to those in the know, the ritual to create a Drake is called "The Dance of Blue Spirits," and Icewing, aka Doll-Maker, designed/perfected it. (See the Dragons .pdf) The obsidian dragon statue was one of his pattern items, and later showed up in the ED adventure Shattered Pattern, were it was used to steal one of icewing's eggs and attempt to corrupt it. The fascimile of the statue later shows up furing the Second Theran War, as does Aardeala (see: Barsaive at War.) When Dunkie died, Aithne Oakforest sent Lofwyr a "token of sympathy"-a statue. Lofwyr returned it, on top of Aithne's moving limo from about 5,000 ft. Same thing? Who knows? |

I don't know if you guys covered this in a previous thread or not, but so far I've seen no mention of the striking similarities between Liara (Queen of the Wyrm Wood between Failla and Alachia) and Jenna Ni'Fiarra.
Aside from physical similarities, they both have the same sunny disposition, and both are in a position to work with Alachia/Sosan Naerain to play their elfie power games.. |

I thought I mentioned this, maybe not: Lou prosperi once strongly hinted that not all the Elven/Blood Queens that looked or acted like Alachia were Alachia; presumably one or more was her daughter Jenna.

wrong Ainas family and several other were accused of treachery and killed by Alachia with a powerful "insta-age-to-death" spell because they said the Therans were right. Then Aina went to a village somewhere and got her first magic lessons, she was very eager and once visted the astral plane and got corrupted by Ysgarthe. He killed her teacher and tormented Aina. Then he offered her the gift of invulnerability and immortality (she didnt know she was a IE) and they made a pact. When the time of the Scourge came, Aina fled to a Kaer and Ysgarthe came with her and slowly killed everybody in there, so Aina had to spend alot of years in torment alone.
well there's a story before.. Aithne was dating with a woman (captain of a flying ship) and she got pregnant. The girl somehow got captured by the Therans and she was a slave for a powerful sorceress, who made experiments with babies and tried to engineer them so they would fit their parents taste.She also developed a "take baby out and put it in a bottle" spell.. so Aithne(they were in love as children, he didnt know she was tainted by the horror) called Aina for help and she went there and disguised as slave and tried to free the girl... but when they fled the babie of aithne was in a bottle (the girl had a theran baby inside) and Aina ,she had learned the "babie in bottle and return to bodie" spell, put the baby in her body. They escaped, but Aina wanted to keep the baby and told the girl, that her baby was dead. She then killed the theran baby and returned the girl to Aithne. Then Aina went to a safe place and raised the child of Aithne by herself. A few years later Ysgarthe killed the child.Aine fought with Ysgarthe and thought she had defeated him. well its been a time since I read the books but I think it went like this afterwards.. Aina and Aithne had a relationship and she got pregnant. Alachia and Aithne wanted to do the Ritual Of Thorns with the baby, but Aine fled with the baby. Aithne found her and suddenly Ysgrathe returns, takes the child and makes Aina tell her story of being tainted and kidnapping Aithnes first child etc etc After this he kills the child and gets alot of nice emotions from Aina to feed from. Aithne returns to blood wood with only hatred left for Aine.
Well thats very compact and only half true Alachia and Aina had a frozen relationship since Alachia killed Ainas parents.. Aina did not study bloodmagic and horror lore with the therans.. Ysegarthe taught her bloodmagic and also horrormagic (she could summon horrors and destroy them with ease) Aina got pregnant from Ysgrathe, because he disguised as Elf. then Aina got the balls to banish Ysgrathe with all the power she got, but within the process she lost the regeneration ability and all the spells she had learned in thousands of years... have fun AH =) and learn German :D |

Apparently she's got the rights, and Mr. Koke talked to her 'bout it. Was one of the last things on the old Forums.

BTW, Ysgrathe disguised himself as a human or elf when he taught Aina (not sure which) and didn't find out until afterwards who her teacher was.
