off topic: link up top my main threads So, the [u]first war[/u] was the most important war. The whole games concept is based on it, where it goes i don't know but I'm fairly certain this is how it began. The thought of fertilizing the ground for seeds is the main idea of the first war. The Light won and our universe took shape as it is.Now at the end, darkness and light clash again to establish the next universes "ground". (some grimoir entries call the light "Atoms" and the darkness "broth") the thought of having to battle out what the universe will look the next time is what the "main story" is [u]from a few grimoir entries: [/u] Toland the stattered [quote]Why does anything exist?[/quote] [quote]Imagine three great nations under three great queens[/quote] So, there are [u]3 "ways"[/u] the universe can be. And the 3 forces will always be at war with each other [quote]Why do we have atoms? Because atomic matter is more stable than the primordial broth. Atoms defeated the [b]broth[/b]. That was the [u]first war[/u]. There were two ways to be and one of them won. And everything that came next was made of atoms.[/quote] this is probably most important. The first war of the[u] Light (atoms) [/u]against[u] the darkness (broth)[/u] So this was the beginning of the whole universe as we know it. The Atoms won against the broth aka the darkness. And all after that was atoms atoms atoms, just like us. some info: from Toland's Journal: [quote]HOW DO I EXPLAIN IT it's so simple WHY DON'T YOU SEE Imagine three great nations under three great queens. The [b]first[/b] queen writes a great book of [u]law and her rule is just[/u]. The second queen builds a high tower and her people climb it to see the stars. The third queen raises an army and conquers everything[/quote] the three queens and their nations represent one aspect of the presented universe. the [b]first[/b]: universal laws of physics because they apply whether there are things alive or not. they are always. the [b]second [/b]is the [u]Atom[/u]. the universe as we know populated by beings that are based on atoms. With stars made of atoms and so on the [b]third[/b] is more difficult to explain. It is the Darkness and it's "life" forms. ill go into the 3 "queens" great nations: The [b]first[/b] would be the laws of physics and Vex as the nation the [b]second [/b]the Atom and life as we are, the [b]third[/b] the darkness and the "life" forms like the hive or fallen [quote]The future belongs to one of these queens. Her rule is harshest and her people are unhappy. But she rules.[/quote] The future belongs to the physics "queen". when all is said and done the laws of physics will still exist no matter who wins the war of light (Atom) against darkness (broth) and the Vex don't seem very happy. (i get to the vex in one sec) [quote]This explains everything, understand? This is why the universe is the way it is, and not some other way. Existence is a game that everything plays, and some strategies are winners: the ability to exist, to shape existence, to remake it so that your descendants - molecules or stars or people or ideas - will flourish, and others will find no ground to grow.[/quote] We are the descendants of the atom and live because it won at the start. The hive are the [b]broth's[/b] (darkness) version of life. the fallen too probably. The Vex, and I only say this with 60 % certainty, are the descendants of the[b] first[/b] a.k.a Laws of Physics if that makes any sense. The Vex want to wipe out everything that moves, darkness or light. They are most adept at fiddling with the laws of physics, and they seem to have existed across time. I see them like janitor for the universe and protectors if the laws of physics themselves are threatened by the darkness or the traveler. Or they purge the universe from time to time for a new cycle of life. to be continued if anyone cares^^ vote is at the bottom (the traveler stuff is a bit lengthy)
