> > Where do you see that she's the first of the gods? If I recall correctly, Issola states that she was one of the ones brought by the Jenoine, and was one of (if not the) first to "betray" her "masters" and fight back. I don't recall any mention of her being the "first" god, however. > ...and Verra has shown much more > trepidation toward Godslayer (before and after Lady Teldra merged with > it) than she has toward the other Great Weapons we've seen. I would assume this is more because of the nature of that weapon, than because it was designed specificaly for her. She wouldn't have as much cause to fear, say, Pathfinder. What would she care if Aliera were to check out where she was? > The quote is "Because she's better than I am." or a minor tweak of > same. No "better at this" involved. Yes, but they are discussing a specific task, so it lends itself to interpretation (as if everything else we've been discussing doesn't...:) ~Chris "Life is the nightmare that leaves its mark upon you in order to prove that it is, in fact, real." -Thomas Ligotti- 'The Sect of the Idiot'
