And Frettzo, yeah, the whole Holy Site thing with Escre is a plot device. We need Escre to get a tad bit more powerful than everyone else for him to be a viable villain of sorts. It's not a reward for Vestec's corrupting his holy site at all. We were actually discussing it before Vestec did that, and it just seemed like a decent time to get that started. Given Escre's previously unimaginative and somewhat servile nature, him suddenly deciding that he is better than everyone else got the Arch-Gods' attention (Invictus' attention, not Fate's. Mainly due to Invictus' personality). 

Anyway, [@Lugubrious] just curious as to what you were referring in this bit in one of your recent posts:

'An unnameable distance away, the god of Life was beginning to home in on a destination.  It had found a section of space near an empty planet, alight with a gorgeous yellowish nebula and lined with asteroids.  It had grown tired, however, from creation and travel both, and stopped now to rest in this wondrous, cosmic garden.  It felt in the distance, the dim pangs of something extraordinary happening.  A godly soul had been destroyed—no, partially destroyed.  Then...reborn, in glory and power.  Escre made a mental note that it would have to pay whomever it was a visit.'

That was Arguis.  If we decided that he didn't do the whole order thing, that paragraph is moot.

Oh, and Escre's thinking that it's better than the other gods stems from its lack of emotion/desire for self-indulgence, which means that it would never do things like start wars on a whim.  It's not a pride thing; it is a I-will-do-the-awful-things-that-other-gods-do-so-I-am-trustworthy-of-power thing.

It is interesting to note that if other gods can convince Escre that they share its impersonate, generally benign outlook on mortals and physical creations, it might take steps to spare such a god from the eradication.
