Anyways, if I was a Horror, and I wanted to catch those pesky humans
napping next time round, I would want to destroy all evidence of my
presence/activities before the mana fell too far for me to do anything.
I don't know the capabilities of Horrors, but if they're going to be a
threat to the 6th world, they must be able to do some pretty nasty stuff.
Targetting the learned and the record keepers for a few generations might
be one thing I'd try, as well as promoting anti-science
regimes/religions/power structures/whatevers. The cities, well, alot of the
time people build on top of where they used to live, so maybe Parlainth is
buried under Tehran (and if you want to play word games, whoever it was,
how about Tehran and Theran).
What I'm trying to say is, if there was a previous civilisation, maybe the
Horrors destroyed as much evidence of it As they could.
(PS This is getting to include a curious mixture of opinions about real
life and about SR. My comments apply strictly to SR.)
