I didn't get impression that everyone is ganging up on Mical. I want
also give my final word about this subject. We do not have to ask
"what if?" - if gods have told us differently. I could just smoke
weed, mushrooms and contact insane chaos spirits and start to tell
things like "what if creation never happened and Sarapis didn't
create this world like he has told us." I could invent new theories
and say like Mical, "if you take away differences, different conditions
and other variations, mutations" people would be always similar. I could
use same logic and show why Magi are Ashtan guild. If you take away all
thats not working for Ashtan and especially get rid of everything Shallam
related connections and people - Magi would be Ashtan guild since there
is nothing left but those who are working for Ashtan.
Unlike Mical said, I didn't tell you my theory. I am adventurer and not
scholar and I don't think that I could create theory like this. I read
this from History and Gods have told this to me, like everyone who
has read the history. You can find several places where Gods describe
that mutations, differences and changes happen because of Chaos and
chaotic forces. I do not know how or why, but I believe when gods say
that differencies between humans are signs of Chaos. If you take away
Chaos and signs of it, differences, you are not talking about humans
anymore - Chaos is part of humans. Have you tried to sell wine without
water as wine, bunch dry of fruits and herbs are quite hard to sell
as wine. You could take Houses out of Hashan and prove that there
is no indoor areas in Hashan. Taking away something that Gods himself
have said is part of humans in quite weird logic to me. What is church
without Codex? I just suggest everyone to read history, listen what
gods tell us and forget visions from outer worlds caused by weed, wine
or any other way. What gods tell us or what we see in this world are
only things we need and can know, we do not need theories to overrule
Gods words and History as we know it. I guarantee that even I, probably
most of us could contradict everything in this world and prove every
God to be wrong if we ignored the facts and used own logic and smoked
enough weed to see visions of insanity. If something seems logical
and right in somekind of theoretical world, it do not make it true
in reality, in our daily life.
