How she became immortal. I'll try to explain this once again, hopefully so
you'll understand now:

1) There is a picture in the Earthdawn rulebook titled "Aina reaches for
immortality" which shows a woman and a scary monster.

2) The Horror Ysrtgrathe described in the Earthdawn Horrors sourcebook
bears a striking resemblance to the one shown in the above-mentioned
picture.

3) In the SR novel Worlds Without End, there is an immortal elf called
Aina, who has been troubled by the Horror Ysrtgrathe for ages.

4) My conclusion is that this Horror has made that elf immortal.

All well and fine, and probably what most other people concluded as well.
However:

5) Along comes someone on this list who claims that Aina was immortal all
along and the Horror didn't have anything to do with it.

6) I ask that person to share with us where that information comes from.

7) You don't understand the question and give an answer to one that wasn't
even asked :)
