Subject: Re: Tibet thread !

I have serious qualms about this thread. first of all "Muscle"? to get into
Tibet? Second - the info on Tibet - "They closed themselves off from the world
and NO ONE can get in." period. Now you may look at this as just something to
be broken so that it looks cool, but think about WHY they did it.

Their cut off from the world - not even sattelite info can be gotten, they no
longer exist. There had to be a FASA reason. My best bet is that they had a
vague plan an need a back drop and a few subtle clues that would make sense if
you knew a lot. They decided to pick Tibet because it was a remote country were
no-one went anyway, it was a country that was still filled with a strong belief
(proven correct) in magic. The reason is pretty clear,

Horrors

In EarthDawn, countries and places locked themselves away from the invasion by
means of sticking themselves in the ground surrounded by True Earth (I think,
its been a while since I've skimmed the books) or they errected barriers to
keep out the horrors.

The horrors are coming early this time, Tibet wasn't taking chances and decided
to lock themselves away as soon as the could. They even beat the coming of the
insect spirits (which you correctly called the invae - but really shouldn't use
the term since many people would have no idea what your talking about).


What my characters think - those who know things atleast

"Tibet, their playing it safe and hiding early before the storm."
