Lore Question from Dragons
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2017 4:16 pm
Getting readymto run Earthdawn again after a long pause. While cobbling ideas together for a campaign, I had the following question:
In the unpublished text of the book Dragons Mountainshadow address his fellow Greats and informs them how the book came to be.
When he discusses the second half, he attributes it to the Outcast and his progeny, the Denairastas. We know there is an outcast Great Dragon behind that family and the Holders of Trust and we know Dollmaker bred with the line of the Kings of Throal to balance things, but I'm curious what he means when Mountainshadow says the Outcast is preparing to repeat history?
Mountainshadow fears a new Empire might arise to challenge Thera, referred to as The Impertinent Ones, and may even topple Thera and strike at the Greats themselves.
He finally extols his fellows to action by reminding them of their guilt and responsibility for what they allowed to happen:
In our pride and arrogance, we forever changed the fate of the world
What is this history? What happened in the past that Mountainshadow feels guilt and responsibility for? What did the Dragons do?
