About as many people know where it is as people in the United States know where Uzbekistan is.

Near Turkey? xD

2 questions:

1. Is Mutuo ever going to come back to AotZ (or join DoE)?

2. Isn't Mutuo based on Miyamoto Musashi, the author of the Go Rin No Sho (Book of Five Rings)?

actually, I have another question as well: After the Order's defeat at the Desert of Exile, why doesn't Vertejaune lead the assault on the Hallowed Crystalis in AotZ? Also, why did Arro switch from Fire to Telekinetics between DoE and AotZ?

Let's see, because he is? Just because he isnt in the hero selection doesnt mean he isnt there

Why for arro? Let's see, if you read his storyline, he never knew he had telekinetics until a tower fell and he stopped it, he was just beginning to tap into his potential in DoE, fire was what he knew

Incredibly unlikely.

....No, that is just what Black_Stan made the model based on........

Also, why did Arro switch from Fire to Telekinetics between DoE and AotZ?

Read his stories, they explain it. Targ gave a brief overview above.

After the Order's defeat at the Desert of Exile, why doesn't Vertejaune lead the assault on the Hallowed Crystalis in AotZ?

Because first of all it is a defensive battle for the Bane, ergo no assault at all. Second of all, Exuro runs the council, not Vert. Third of all, Vert was there, but wasn't at the Forsaken One at the time. The battle at AotZ is much larger than what you see in the map.

What will happen if the Void collapsed on itself?

All life in the Void that we knew of would die, right?


Also, what did the "God of War" do besides enchanting Astelan's weapon? (The ones that Astelan and Victor worshipped) What powers did he have? (since you said that his power is counterpart to Anick's)

What does it sound like would happen..?

Uhm, it's not so cut and dry as being able to list them... He's a warrior more or less, pure fighter, weapon enchantments, stuff like that.

dusk i remember u saying that a void walker or avw could only enchant one person of the evolving races with its power, trying to enchant any more would cause the vw/avw to die, but isnt both victor and astelan champions(forget the real name for these right now) of the god of war? or is it just astel?

[Pigger]

Well, don't they both use the same weapon? (Apparently the current Vic hammer isn't accurate, but with the new model...)

The lionblade, I presume?

Noooooo. Astelan and Victor aren't avatars of the AVW of War, they just get minor powers from him. It's only life-threatening to the AVW/VW if the bond is made that causes the other to become an avatar.

From the old topic:

They are created by whatever means, it doesn't matter. Genobee was constructed by thousands upon thousands of corpses over the course of centuries. It is all in the final step, where the greater voidwalker or antivoidwalker imbues a part of its own power into the being. This imbuement links the avatar to the AVW/VW beyond life and death. Once bound, there can be no other avatar for that AVW/VW because they could not sustain the required power. If for instance Exuro attempted to bind another avatar, he would be destroyed in the binding and both his new avatar and Azzr would cease to exist.

[Soul_Reaver]

If a VW or an AVW has an avatar, and that avatar dies, can the VW/AVW bind another avatar? Or is this a one-time chance?

[Rising_Dusk]

It's a bond that can be renewed if the avatar dies, but takes a long time to regain the power to do it. Recall that an avatar carries a portion of the VW/AVW's powers within it, and it takes forever to get that back if it can even be obtained again.

[Soul_Reaver]

Can the bond to the Avatar be undone, even though the Avatar is still alive?

[Rising_Dusk]

Sure, but it would be illogical to do so. You can't just yank the 'power' (Terrible wording..) back out of an avatar after you've put it in, it isn't feasible, so it would be ridiculous to make an avatar and then go back on it. You might as well be shooting yourself in the foot.
