would the mass have killed the elder god

[rns13]

no, the elder god feeds on souls (i think), killing vampires would have freed their souls, which would have basically been a feast for the elder god.

remember the elder god had no more use for the vampires when the hylden cursed the vampires with immortality, the curse was not the blood thirst.

[40019974]

yeah but the mass was made to kill anything non hylden, that might include the elder god, though he may strong enough to survive its attack, also killing some vampires inst enough, their souls can still re enter a body if not absorbed which is why they are so dangerous to the elder god, and there time spend in limbo will even make them stronger and harder to kill next time

[rns13]

vampires that are strong enough to have souls that can re-enter their bodies are pretty rare, and they can't harm the elder god because they can not interact with him, it is only Raziel and Kain, after he is purified in Defiance, that can even see the elder god.

the mass needed vampire blood (Janos) to kill vampires, and i imagine a few humans got thrown in there too so it affects humans. how would they get elder god blood to make it affect the elder god?

[40019974]

the soul vampires are pretty common in sr but it seems kain is the only one right now, its not explained but i imagined they only used their blood to program their immunity to it which is why it is so vunerable to it, there are many other races to get blood from so it seems more likley they just immuned themselfs and set it up to kill all life, but the elder god is sort of immortal so i surpose he would survive,

[40019974]

also are the hlyden immortal, if they are i understand why elder god hated them just like he ended up hating vampires, but its never mentioned, if not, why did he care that they didnt worship him, wether you even know about elder god or not, he still eats your soul, and seeing as he wanted them gone, why does not allow even one vampire around despite thats whats keeping them banished

[rns13]

it is mentioned i think in Defiance, the hylden where eternal rather than immortal. They could still die due to violence. the vampires started the war because the elder god wanted the hylden dead so he could consume their souls. the hylden retaliated by cursing the vampires with immortality, cutting them off from the elder god. The vampires banished the hylden but then most committed suicide due to losing their god's grace.

the elder god then began using humans to get rid of both sides.

[40019974]

its strange that because of his hatred of the hylden he ended up losing vampires as a source of food and then led humans to rebel against vampires, thus creating immortal human guardians, and ending up freeing the hylden as well, the elder god isnt too good at planning things out is he, despite his omniscience

[rns13]

i don't think the elder god really cared that he lost the vampires they where food for him anyway and they all died.  he never really had the hylden so if they die no lose. i don't think the human guardians where immortal. the human guardians where originally turned into vampires, at some point Meobius and Mortanius rebeled before they became vampires. each was aligned with a pillar that would have granted them extreme long life, but they still aged.

again, it is in Defiance and easy to miss

[40019974]

everyone is food for the elder god no matter if they worship or even know of him or not, id imagine the hylden were immortal which is why he wanted them killed "they wouldnt submit to his wheel of fate" but he ended up with his vampires unable to create new life and were immortal, some human immortal guardians, not to mention when he made raziel completly unkillable and brought mobius back to life, for someone driven only by hunger, he made some pretty stupid decisions

[rns13]

stupid mistakes or not, pretty much everyone ended up dead and feeding him.

i imagine not too many hylden died until the war with the vampires. the vampires ended up turning humans and he tricked humans into killing all the vampires. so either way he won. when he made Raziel he knew he would be trapped in the sword so he didn't care if he lost one soul if he destroy all the vampires left. it wasn't until kain found a new way to write history that the elder god's plans where countered.

O YEAH!
