Primals - A Discussion on Ethics & Philosophy (ARR & HW Spoilers)

[Shai]

EDIT INCOMING

The suspense is killing me. *reloads topic again*

Also, Thordan wasn't going to stop at just defeating the Ascians. He was intending to take over the entire world, (insert Saturday morning cartoon villain laugh here) or basically rule over all of mankind as an immortal god-king. To that end, he was trying to kill us, since as primal slayers, we were the first hurdle in that plan. Too bad for him, we ended up being the last hurdle as well.

Also - I get this is true. As I said, Ysayle had a change of heart and understood the inherent dangers and faults in her use of aether to push her agenda. Thordan did not. I understand there is a fundamental difference in their personal beliefs. We sympathize with Ysayle, but rally against the tyranny and betrayal of Thordan. But most importantly (and this goes with the rampant mass-murder sub-topic) why was Thordan irredeemable? Why couldn't he be turned to our side? Rallied to our cause? What made him "evil" and beyond redemption besides - it would be too easy for God-King Thordan to save the planet then relinquish his power for the good of the people.
