Demondim and Elohim

Post by Ak-Haru »

What exactly are the Demondim? Are they the dark counterpart of the Elohim in the same way that Vain is counterpart to Findail? Perhaps they are the 'dark side' of Earthpower, and the Elohim are the 'light side', and the Law needs both to be complete. This might explain the whole Findail/Vain staff of law event... I quote from 'White Gold Wielder': "Findail's fluid earthpower. Vain's hard, perfect structure. And between them, the old definifition forged into the heels of the Staff of Law." The old definition? Vain is Stone, and Findail is Sea. Any thoughts on the matter?

Weren't the Demondim a noble and lofty race? (if slightly inappropriately named - "demon" and "dim" are hardly complimentary words...)

And they are noble and lofty. The Elhim are noble and lofty, and also jerks. There was nothing wrong with the original creation of the Demondim. It was the Ur-viles choice to be evil, and the Waynhims choice to be good.

The Demondim were noble and lofty, yaddah yaddah, then the viles lured them to their breeding dens, assumably in Gravin Threndor with the Wightwarrens, and all that nasty stuff, and corrupted them and spawned the ur-viles, the pseudoviles...the waynhim I take it turned out more Demondimmish...

Wasnt it the Ravers that lured the Demondim to the breeding dens?

I believe it was .. and someone posted that recently somewhere too .. which is very interesting.

thus the demondim cant really be the dark side of the elohim or earthpower .. just another race of being in the Land.

Yes, it said somewhere in books that moksha and turiya did that crime.
