the Shadowstone, a little question
« on: September 27, 2007, 01:46:58 PM »
Hi! first of all sorry for my english, isn?t (by far) my native language.

I've a question about the Shadowstone. In Powers of Light & Darkness explains that the Shadowstone retains the soul of the last wearer (and killed) of this malefic (uohoho!) artifact. Well, my questione is: who was the last wearer? Kadaena? because if that's true I supose that Ondoval had some problems with it!

Well, thanks for your time, ah, and a message for Terry: PLEASE continue the Shadowstone Chronicle (my english isn?t enough for writing but yes for reading!).

Yes indeedy.

Quote
If the wearer of the Shadowstone is killed, his spirit enters the Shadowstone. The next being who dons the Shadowstone must then wrest control of it from the former wearer in a battle of wills.

So. Ondoval (presumably) goes back in time and snatches the Shadowstone tumbling into the abyss seconds after Utha beheads/kills Kad?na. Her soul has entered the Shadowstone (one of its quasi-Lifekeeping features) so he will have to defeat her soul/mind in a mental battle for control of it.

Imagine Four possible outcomes (and I suppose not the only these four):

  • 1. Ondoval wins; uses Kad?na's soul for some great spell-fuel.
  • 2. Ondoval wins, and is driven insane.
  • 3. Kadaena's essence and Ondoval make peace and form an alliance.
  • 4. Kad?na wins....

Lots of possibilities!   ;)


OH, and I hope to finally post another chapter of SC tonight or this weekend!

Thanks for the answer!

I suposed this four possibilities (mainly 1. and 4.) but I was hoping that you choose one or another (and extend a bit more the answer) and tell us  ;D . I supose that the answer will be in a future Shadowstone chapter, bohhh, I need to be more patient.

I'm waiting with a lot of interest the last (before the next ::)) chapter of the Chronicle.
