Beheading = True Death

[zanzibar]

THen there is the fact the Dakkru existed for untold time before she made her way through the dark crystal into the DR. Previously she may well have been able to affect the realm from wherever she was.

Another possibility is that Dakkru is merely the crystal itself, and the effects of the crystal on all lifeforms are being explained by a personification of physics.  It's like seeing gravity and saying angels are holding us on the ground.

(Why do we call it true death when we're out of game?  True death is the IC term.)

I would say that "true death" isn't more IC than "permanent death". To me it sounds even more OOC since "true" implies that it is "the same death" we players know. Almost like "the real death".

I think that what we call "death" and "true death" are actually way more different for our characters... in fact, entirely different.

While I like Zanzi's explaination we're still arguing from ignorance.

Dakkru is one of the older goddesses. She is older than Talad and Laanx by far. Her realm is that of the Death Realm, as those of Yliakum call it, which is another plane, and far more vast than we will ever know. If her realm was to be compared with New York City, the current Death Realm would be a clogged sink on the 16th floor of an abandoned apartment building in the low rent district. She only came back recently because some vagrants (you) moved in and turned on the water, flooding the building and drawing her attention.

Again, read some books in the library. The 'dark crystal' is only a shard, one of many, maybe countless others. The info is in the game, if you look for it.

I'm not asserting anything as true.  I just think it's interesting to look at different possible explanations.

Quick question, where do all the books come from?

[Under the moon]

Londris is (and will be) the author of many or most, though some may be old books that he has translated or restored, and others will be written by other NPCs.

[Prolix]

Ah so when she materialized through the crystal as written in the book (and roleplay thread?), it wasn't so much that she came from elsewhere altogether as she came from elsewhere in the Death Realm. That was not clear to me.

[zanzibar]

Another way of looking at her is as a personification of the universe - death, just as vodul might be the personification of time or fate.

[Xillix Queen of Fools]

Everywhere there is death, there is Dakkru. How much of her attention she focuses on shards of her realm is all that has changed. For whatever reason, Dakkru is HERE now.

Well she's everywhere there's death, so she would be here... so long as people are dying...
