[PT Spoilers] Why does Ferrovax care?
The_Sibelis:
That charmed a dragon story also has connotations to Odin and Fenrir and being consumed by the creature you slay... It's where I got the idea St Patrick cursed his own bloodline to contain the loop garu, when it had been in a more free to kill form before that.
Conspiracy Theorist:
You kind of get the idea they have been at this a long, long time.
Odin was also probably St George, Sigurd etc here is a list of possible alias

The_Sibelis:
And... I think you just made me realize why the Valkyrie chick equates River Shoulders to grindelkin... Dragons were responsible for landscaping basically, Strength of River in his Shoulders is the same thing on a smaller scale, someone who has the power of the land itself..(or to carve the land, as a river literally does) Perhaps it's literally a blood heritage. Dragon bornish type thing

Maybe. It could be an Oblivion thing.
--- Quote from: Second Aristh on August 01, 2020, 05:49:18 AM ---Perhaps Ferrovax has some sort of Duty not in the NN?
--- End quote ---
Maybe, but I thought the Dragons (like most gods) were basically 'retired'. Even Odin describes himself as "mostly retired" and he seems far more active than most.
--- Quote ---As another guess, if the Fomor get their way, one side or the other may annihilate each other entirely so there's nothing to come back to in a few centuries.

I don't see how. Too many of the supernatural beings are dependent on humans in one way or another, so they wouldn't wipe out humanity. And mortals couldn't definitively 'win', as too many beings are either Immortal or can retreat to the Nevernever.
--- Quote ---As a third guess, Ferrovax might prefer the Accords to be in place.
--- End quote ---
Apparently he does. I'm just not really sure why. It seems kind of weird to me... I mean, they're specifically Mab's Accords, which means they must be a new innovation on Ferrovax's timescale (Mab is relatively young as immortals go - she's younger than Nicodemus).
I'd kind of expect an ancient force of nature to resent some new set of rules that constrain him to deal as basically an equal with wizards and vampires and ghouls and other beings that are comparative gnats... I mean he seems pretty disdainful of humanity in GP.
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on August 01, 2020, 08:35:54 AM ---Because he is keeping an eye on Odin, they counter balance each other if he is indeed the Midgard Serpent.
--- End quote ---
Not really, the Midgard Serpent is Thor's fated foe, not Odin's. (Odin's is Fenrir.)
Conspiracy Theorist:
He’s keeping Thor away from a Ferro which is why the stalemate, when those two go at it then all Ragnarok breaks loose, and Odin himself will fall, by preventing those two battling Odin staves off Ragnarok, even if it means taking on Ferro himself.
