They do say that Venge, who we believe to be Rhue, scarred his father the Lord Below.

We have demons' "auras" in the shadow sword world.

Gharon is a bad-ass demon thing.

I have this random feeling, that Gharon is the scar Venge did to the Lord Below.

Or what's left of it.

Maybe it's all the reaches in Dream Estrana that's the scar.

Because well
If they're in the sword
That means he absorbed their auras. Or anti-auras if you insist demons have no auras. Or lessers if we can't call them demons. Them. Things. Red. Ugly. In sword. Dead. And you kill them again.

...Am I making sense here ?

Search for the Venge/Shockwave theory, if you'll learn it theorizing farther will be much easier.

There's no reason why they have to be real demons; since it is DE, they could just be manifestations of Rhue's mental "demons". They could also represent the taint in the sword.

I'm in favour of them being mental creations: the truth about Rhue's past could be said to lie in the reaches, and by overcoming his fear of that truth, or some kind of mental block that evolved or the PS put up (represented by the demons), he is able to understand the truth about his past and his origins, as he metaphorically "falls into the Reaches". The disturbing thing is that all we see when we go back to the Middle Way is a patch of blood. Which means someone must have bled. The idea that seems most possible to me is that Rhue, having understood his nature and his origins, wakes up (probably having completely bent the sword to his will, making it a sort of amoral soul-suction device). Although he is now aware of himself and has the desire to keep trying, it may be that Gaius senses his true nature now, and perhaps tries to kill him. The Illuminati itself may also want to kill him - after all, Venge has killed an awful lot of people unjustly in his life. Particularly since I'm guessing Rhue would now make no pretense of being "just", unlike the PS.

That's the problem with the reaches ending: there's far too little evidence, so we can only speculate.

The theory Sarcasm refers to is a body of posts on page 2 of the "My theory from Venge-Rhue" thread. And Sarcasm, this is kind of my reply to what you've been posting in the other thread too

You explained it better then myself, I must admit.

Though I strongly suspect "Rhue" is not the one that has died.

Oh no, I'll agree with you on that The main point I differ with you on is that you think the sword will revert to an Illuminati... I'm not so sure. I think it will behave as it has seemed to while we played the game (ignoring the PS): capable of emulating any of the auras within it's "repetoire", and not consciously moral about who it kills.

I still think this whole scar business is more important than that.
The scar. THE SCAR.

Shock wave, Venge, Done.

:(

Poor MonsterKingRen. Done in by Sarcasm. On the plus side, you did offer ONE semi-new theory! Good for you! >_>

Why do you and others constanly rape this forum with your one word posts/posts containing only a smiley?

The same reason you and Teen post random horribley long and completely unrelated stories that hardly even make sense.

But long pointless drawn-out stories that make little or no sense can be funny. Like the time my friend slept rough when he missed the last bus becuase he was drunk and knackered from tricking and woke up with a swollen lip and discovered his bag had been robbed.

That wasn't long, you fail.

...or funny.

Or... Uhh... Yeah... Longer next time... So anymore theories ya wanna pop out here? How about one with a giant squid?
