[Exalted] An alternate take on the Malfeans

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.whitewolf (More info?)

You know, I always liked the idea of the Neverborn as creatures spawned
from Oblivion, which never existed as any kind of living entity. Since
Exalted's Neverborn are the shades once-living Primordials, I don't know
if they really deserve the title of "Neverborn."

... but what if they aren't?

What if the Malfeans aren't the spectral remnants of the titanic
Primordials, but rather mirror-images disgorged from the Abyss in the
response to the death of the entities that defined the world?

Depends on how you define "born", I suppose...

If you're going to bring up the word "Qlippothic"...^~

The only real problem with this is it requires a reworking of the very
concept of what Oblivion is. Pretty much by definition, It creates
nothing, only unmakes.

Did your spellchecker disappear into the Void? Or just scream in
anguish?^^

I never use words I can't spell.

Except in /Wraith/, it's suggested that's exactly what the Neverborn
are: entities that crawled up out of Oblivion at the beginning of time.

No, but its eyes did turn jet black and it keeps singing hymns about
the glories of annihilation...

No choice, then, guess you'll have to Soulforge your hard drive...
