>>Of course who is to say the hounds of Rutilor didn't lie about the fate of Kigot? Wouldn't be the last time that the public face of an official entity hid failures by claiming victory. Heh, I was betting on the side how long it'd take someone to suggest that. Some Necromancers think Kigot is alive (or undead), while their peers put it on par with people who wouldn't give up Elvis. Critics point out two major flaws in this belief: 1: If he's alive... where is he? Kigot was not a quiet man -- the reason he was such a strange threat to the Temple was he couldn't shut up. In sharp contrast, no one can reliably claim to have seen him since his death. It would be wildly out of character for Kigot to simply sit somewhere quietly scheming instead of writing a tell-all book about what happened. 2: Given #1, even if Kigot survived... what's the point? Either Kigot is dead, or the experience left Kigot so scarred and changed that he is essentially not Kigot anymore. Either he's dead, or he's functionally dead. However, I don't wish to protest overly much. It was written fully intending that Kigot could be spun off as a messiah figure with a few leaps of faith, so I'm not going to tell you it's a bad characterization. In the profound stress and religiosity of the Necromancers' life, it's entirely appropriate that some of them crack and desperately seek our their own brand of miracles. >>And what is the Old Man, really? There's a man that I used to know And sometimes he still visits with me When it's late and the alcohol's glow Is nearly gone and it's time to awaken And he looks and he laughs at the sight And he asks what has happened to me And I blame it all on the lights But he smiles and says I'm mistaken And there is no use in disguising What the eye can so clearly see That I've spent my whole life denying That the man in the mirror is me ... In a child-like illusion of life He imagined the things yet to be But they all disappeared on this night Carried on among the forsaken And there is no use in denying What the eye can so clearly see That one day I too will be dying And the man in the mirror agrees >>I wonder if we'll find out more about what he is when the guild gets released. Nope. You can find out more about him during the Redemption quest, which will not be available at release. -Armifer
