I no longer feel certain about anything...
Perhaps the True Enemy is the lack of Certainty? |

By Old Enemy/New Enemy, are you referring to the Enemy of Alien Bodies and the Enemy of The Book of the War respectively? That's the idea- right or wrong! I hadn't thought about the Mount Usu Duel as the creation of the Enemy, at least not in so many words, but it does make sense if we think of the Enemy as humanity's stolen future, which is an interpretation I tend to gravitate towards as well. But a few issues stick out to me: The Voice is able to manifest at the Hollywood Bowl because of the presence of Cwej, a House Military agent. Does it make sense for a Wartime participant to create the Enemy? Is it even worth appealing to linearity here? It is if there's two Enemies. The Great Houses are already at war with the Old Enemy of the EDAs when Cwej triggers/witnesses the emergence of the New Enemy at an event that parallels the Anchoring/Yssgaroth incursion in mysterious ways, even if it isn't an Anchoring itself. More to come- hopefully. |
