Thus the last chain and the deeper meaning behind it are revealed. Makes you wonder what you would have to do to break the last chain in this case, doesn’t it? Melt the sword? I have my doubts on that approach.
Sooo…If I get this straight-Maresh camps all the high grounds that wouldn’t get flooded, floods the world, and then uses the sword to I guess lock the world’s purpose down into one thing?
See, this sort of thing actually goes a long way to explain WHAT gurahl was after/planning, but it’s annoying because wayyy too much world-info is being expositied even now when we should just be seeing the final battle between Maresh and Anthem.
It makes sense to take the high ground and drown the rest, if you’re fanatical enough. I’m uncertain about the long-term habitability of the resulting, changed planet, but with a smaller population it might be feasible. Maresh is certainly crazy enough to see this as a viable plan. I’m not sure I follow what Corva means about Gurahl turning the dead into an army, though. Was that a project Gurahl never finished? Were the spirits somehow bound by the Sword? A bit confused.
Where do you get the idea that the sword raises the dead? My reading was the opposite. That it binds the dead to stay sleeping. But as to the sword making an army…I would say it was a threat. “Join me or drown in righteous fury”. Something like the sword drowning the “sinners” would be a pretty big persuader. As anyone who opposed Gurahl would be a “sinner”.

Hmm, necromancy water? Interesting.
So, how hard would it be to turn Chalt insubstantial? If the sword just pass on through and vaporizes in the heat of the sun, no worries, right?
