Morky Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 So, I have been thinking for a while, and the end of book 3 (spoilers... as if you dont have it yet!) with Sonnia figuring out the circle pattern around the Breach... I think its something like Ravenloft. Some sort of personal mini-torment/hell for those who are trapped in it. With the governor trapped in as the (forget the ravenloft term for it... what was Strahd?) lord of the "realm" which also punishes him. He has it all, but can never control it the way he wants. Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well played. I hadn't drawn that parallel, but in thinking about it, it makes sense. Each spot being a 'mini-domain,' of sorts. Zoraida has the bayou, Ramos has the mines, etc. While the governor has the whole thing to deal with. Very interesting...

Darg Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Am I the only one getting a time-travel vibe from the fluff? I'm starting to wonder if we have a case of either circular time or that the breach is a time portal and Malifaux is in fact a future Earth. It could go some way to explaining the hybrid neverborn/human corpses and Ramos' 'signature' appearing on ancient machinery. The hybrid is a transitional form of humanity on the way to evolving in to the neverborn due to the influence of magic and the 'signature' is either an example of Ramos' work that survived or his students. It very neatly explains the appearance of the Neverborn and their links to Earth mythology. It might also explain Sonja's reaction to the info on Cherufe she found but I think that is probably just the Tyrant's influence. I also like the possibility it raises that the Tyrants are not only connected to the known characters but are in fact them once their power evolves.

psychocamel Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I hope there's no time travel, no plot ever survives time travel, it always destroys itself with convolution and/or plot-holes. Plus they always rely on the reader/watcher/etc to not think about it too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Smigs Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I hope it's not a "every area's a domain" ... otherwise there's just too many parallels to Helldorado... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar86 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 It's probably an alternate Earth, as such it has parallels, Like Ramos' signature. I also don't think it's beyond Ramos to build a time machine eventually, that could lead to a bunch of his stuff getting stranded in the past.

BlueStar86 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh Em Gee! It's Endor!? Or Beast Wars-era Earth. The second moon was basically a death star in that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 I think its a sort of dimensional prison. Created to house the Tyrants but maybe also the Neverborn. Or maybe the Neverborn were the first wardens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the Neverborn were the first wardens. The red star is the tyrants prison, also the tyrants lived on Malifaux before they turned evil. Simple answer it's a city on another planet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
