[Somebody mentioned that Argrath destroyed the Gods]
>Arrrgghhh!!! When did he do this, I've seen it mentioned by Greg

>(I take it that it's in there somehwere, hiding from me; damned
>Boggles!).
p232 at the end of 'Argrath and the Devil' albeit in a different hand:
'And he said "There is only one secret now, and that is what we have
done. The world will remain as it is now, without interference from
any god or goddess. Now it is a free world, of humankind, for
humankind, and ruled by humankind."'
Personally I suspect this last paragraph was added by a scribe to
defend Argrath against charges that he unwittingly destroyed the
Gods in his crusade against the Lunar Empire.
>Isn't Argrath killing gods a supremley *bad* thing?
It really depends on what you mean by gods. They can do magic
in Harshax's era so I'd guess they were liberated from the Gods
telling them how to live.
>How did he do it? Isn't this merely proof that he's a new
>incarnation of Shargash and therefore a new incarnation of Arkat?
It seems like a typical Orlanthi HQ to me so I don't think Shargash
or Arkat had anything to do with it.
