Does the Oblivion War create Outsiders?

(1/3) > >>

Hankthemoose:
Erasing the awareness of a supernatural entity prevents it from being able to interact with reality, right?

The Oblivion War is basically about taking gods, and other Big Bads and causing them to be forgotten, so that they disappear.

The thing is, this basically also describes the whole situation with the Old Ones, who are confirmed outsiders. So, are some/all of the current Outsiders just former Insiders, trying to get home?

Bad Alias:
I get that impression, and some here have stated it as accepted fact. But, the Outsiders are always described as not of this world, completely alien. On the other hand, Harry doesn't know about the Oblivion War, so we should take that into account. Back to that first hand, if they were former occupants, they would not be so alien; they would probably work against one another; once one got back in, it probably wouldn't worry too much about the the other Outsiders.

From Ghost Story:

“Not now,” He Who Walks Behind murmured, its smile widening. “But it will be ours again in just a little time.”

Yuillegan:
Hmmmmmmm

Maybe.

Could go either way. Although I think Bad Alias is pretty right.

Doesn't mean that there isn't a connection though. Although I think Jim said we will never see much of the Oblivion War in the Dresden files...so perhaps not.

Arjan - HWWBh I believe was referring to the when the Outsiders and the Old Ones ruled the "world". Not so much the old gods, which are of our world. Jim does seem to leave it vague on purpose though.

This really seems like a "six of one and half a dozen of the other" situation.
