Denarian Dresden

--- Quote from: Con on September 25, 2017, 09:21:21 AM ---hmm I wonder if thats the purpose of the mass killings by the Denarians. So that people in strife and crisis commit evil acts to doom their souls, so that they're sent to Hell where Lucifer and other demons get a power boost.

Sorta, it gives bad people a place they genuinely believe they'll go.
Con:
...What?
I'm talking about the magical, spiritual, emotional, mental and consciousness of a soul being a powerful tool and fuel source for Hell and demons.
Islamic theology and pholosophy believes Lucifer mad a deal with God that he would get ten thousand years to prove humans deserve to go to hell which would be proven by the number of people who go to hell.
Judaism believe Sammael/Lucifer was the Angel of Death and punishes evil doers in the after life or delivers them to heaven. Earliest form of the Reaper myth along with Charon. It was him in the bible that slayed the first born of Egypt.
I'm wondering if in Dresden verse Lucifer is gathering as many condemned souls as he can for some sort of purpose.

And i'm theorizing that purpose is to give a cognitive definition to 'evil' people, an after life for the 'damned'. Most afterlife is to catch things that would otherwise go to nonexistence, empowering the enemy.
The Denarians themselves balance out the positive forces of freedom, literally 10 to 1, so it stays dispersed. Notice the energy and state of mind Nic wants in DM is apocalyptic? They do what the Necronomicon does to the creature within, only with apocalyptic forces. Prevent one huge build up... Which Dresden keeps thwarting a bit too successfully I might add.
*He was stealing pestilences energy in DM and feeding it to andurial by proxy, it's his schedule in the stars, he knows when their gonna manifest the zenith of their strength via conjunction...

--- Quote from: Arjan on September 24, 2017, 11:24:30 AM ---Probably not that much older than Cassius, time enough to be saved if the dresdenverse follows Christian mythology.
--- End quote ---
None of them can be older than about 2,000 years (give or take a few decades), yet we saw one of them collapse into dust pretty much immediately after the aquarium fight in Small Favor. It could be that death accelerated the process, or that the Noose would halt or slow it for Nicodemus. Cassius started aging rapidly, but managed to make it a few years, though I didn't get the feeling that he was that old.
I think the Noose might be a difference maker. He didn't pull a Holy Grail scene from the end of Last Crusade and turn into a desiccated husk when he gave up the coin briefly in Skin Game—but that also could have been a clue that he wasn't really setting it aside.
Con:
WOJ is that the silver Denarius are mostly Augustan with some Tiberius Denarius. If we take the Calender as literal truth to the year, they would technically only just now have roughly passed 2000 years
