It's become painfully obvious that, if such an "other" exists, it has
nothing to do with the disappearence of Syvelium. Allow me to explain.

Syvelium was simply a very clever illusion created by one of the Serpent
class who, oddly enough, now resides in Shallam. The members of the
Church, for reasons that I won't mention, believed this illusion until
finally the Serpent was unable to maintain it without getting caught.

Now, assuming the 'other' exists, and it does, it means no harm
whatsoever, and is hardly the same 'other' referred to by the general
populace. The reason for it vivisecting a crow was merely that it wished
to reach out and make friends, and attempted to impress either
Ashtanites or Necromancers. Had it meant harm, we'd see dead people
lying around impaled by bones.

Obviously it's like that this other that I speak of is just a God's toy
or something, maybe a cabbage, but even if it were so sickening as a
cabbage, it obviously means little to no harm. Hence thus therefore we
mayhap have a being with a sense of humor possibly nay maybe only.

As for the Phaestus being trapped in a hammer deal...what kind of
blatant disrespect do you people think of?! Seriously, what's gonna
happen? He's going to say "hey let's go inside this hammer and seal
myself off!". Even if He were so inclined, He'd have made sure He could
get out whenever He pleased, would He not?

Thus we are left with little to nothing. I'd like to take this
oppurtunity to point you all to Pots 1 and Pots 2, public 8700 and
public 8825. Pots 3 is due sometime in the future.
