Kastenessen ... revealed!

Post by Romeo »

Has anyone ever contemplated the etymology of "Kastenessen?"

Kasten ... for the latin meaning, "to castrate."

Essen ... from the german verb, "to eat."

Blech!!

Well Kastenessen is an Elohim.
The Elohim are the children of the Worm.
The Worm eats stars.
And being an appointed is kinda like being castrated, I guess, in a kinda metaphysical way..... :hairs: :?

Makes one wonder what 'The Appointed' might really mean.

Chant: I'm feeling peckish.
Daphin: There's still one left on The Appointed ... finish it before we appoint another, okay?

So what if you eat the worm? Not that you'd be sober enough at that point to remember... :-)
