Hello,

What would happen if someone healed Sky River Titan...

Depending on how you look at this, the healing of SRT (Sky River Titan) could have some very dramatic consequences.

Scenario One: Korang the Slayer is foiled, but SRT isn't injured. This would be very bad. Obviously, there would be the (ruined?) City of Slaves on the site of what would have been Skyfall Lake. Far more importantly, the River, the Stream, and the Creek (Creek Titan and Stream Titan were his brothers) and their downstream combinations wouldn't be there. Worse still, these were the rivers that taught all the other rivers of the world to flow down Magasta's pool and help save the world when the Spike exploded. As a side note: all the River's of the world would flow in the opposite direction like the Syphon River. Side note to MOB: Karse wouldn't be much of a river/sea port either.

Scenario Two: Just heal SRT.
I have a feeling that this would still cause all the Creek, Stream, and River in Sartar to dry up. The Upland Marsh would still be there.

Lastly. It's my theory that Delecti would probably oppose you if he found out you were messing with this myth as a heroquest. Delecti re-enacts the wounding of Sky River Titan as part of his Marsh expansion rituals. Hasn't anyone noticed that it always rains a lot right around the time the Dancers of Darkness are on the move?

As for Danny Bourne doing the right thing... He did. Would you expect any less from a Pagan God?

See you all at the German RQ Con auction...
