That's my point,although I didn't express it properly; if Tortaalik could have broken the link of Adronn with the Orb he would have done it, wouldn't he? When I said that it can be broken just in really special situations I wasn't thinking about the Emperor but in Verra and her fellows. Well, in fact I was thinking in Mr. Burst, who is able to broke the link and anything he wants, especially if we agree that it cannot be broken. :) > >New theory: the Disaster wasn't Adron's fault - he was manipulated into it >by the Cycle, which wanted to get its (minions) hands on the Orb, to >establish a Lesser Sea of Chaos (for future use against the J., perhaps), >and to get rid of dingy old Dragaera City with its out-moded architecture. Interesting, it introduces a sensitive aspect of the cycle that I haven't seen discussed here, despite we have discussed the sensitiveness of Great Weapons, Spellbreaker, Artifacts and even of some of the members of this mail list. _________________________________________________________________ Dale rienda suelta a tu tiempo libre.
