Monism or Duelism

[Zan]

*nods* The problem is not that the settings were created with a lot of holes in it. The problem is that the Devs don't share much of the settings with us

[Nikodemus]

and what is shared make us think something else all the time. We don't know in what believe

[neko kyouran]

Believe in Drey.   Drey is god.

In daggerfall, there are no dragons, but there are dragon whelps all over the place.  Except for this one quest, given to you by a NPC who is a dragon.  But you can't attack him.

Wait a minute, a talking dragon!

I thought I read somewhere that the death realm was an actual place, the lowest level under the inhabitable levels. So when you die and get thrown down the well you eventually end up in the DR. If this was true it could be a force of will to reattach you spirit to your body instead of passing on. I don't know where I might have seen this, perhaps it was on the wiki or something. This is the general impression I had. This is why burial is a capital offense, if your body never makes it to the DR you cannot reclaim it and return to life or is that another misapprehension?

i also read that somewhere.. im going to look around.. its def. on the forums

[bilbous]

it may have been in game talking to a mage in the DR or possibly in one of the now missing books at jayose'

it WAS in the online site guide @ planshift.it BUT it was changed to "nothing much is knonw about dr".. i think a change is inorder... that way.. ppl can rp the lag they get when loading.. or just cant move

Not necessarily.  Some people think of other human beings as the spirit that represents their conciousness instead of the bodies which give them physical form.  For instance, I am talking to your spirit, not to your body, even though it is your body that is infront of me.

Uh-huh. Even if there are people like that in Planeshift, I think it's safer to assume that the people in the Death Realm are calling you a spirit because you're a spirit, not because they all happen to be new-age hippies that don't acknowledge a body as being a part of one's self.


Ishtar; LMAO.

Darkmoon has spent a lot of time working on the DR as the Settings team leader.

Well, tell him to get off his lazy arse and divulge some of those secrets 'fore we get riotous.
And if he doesn't listen, seduce him. and video-tape it


EmF out. (ooh, I like that acronym...)

lol... funny..

i think that the orig. dumping of the bodies into a well leading to dr would be the best.. maybe we have a vote on it?

You're joking, right? I have never met a Christian who called me a 'Spirit', that's for damn sure, and I've met a lot of Christians...

And even still,  think it's safer to assume that the people in the Death Realm are calling you a spirit because you're a spirit, not because they all happen to be Christians

Chriastians are Duelists and believe what Zanz said. They believe that the spirt and body are entirely seperate. Christian is one example. You also have Jews muslims etc.

Re-read my post (said in a non-snotty way ). I never said Christians don't believe that, I'm saying that the Death Guardian is most likely not a Christian. And besides that, Christians generally don't call people 'Spirits'.

[Parallo]

Aye, its a given that Christians are unlikely to feature in PS. I'm saying its not all that strange a belief. They may not call you spirit but they believe they are talking to a spirit.

Well, now that you mention it, I'd be hard-pressed to think of a religion that didn't believe that. It's just the way Zanzibar worded it...
