Is there a text in the previous or current book that shows that they WERE the fire? I obviously need to reread, but I thought that maybe Kasty, going irrevocably insane in his Durance, created them in his quest for revenge. Of course, your statement makes logical sense. If they were not the fire, then it AND them need to be dealt with.Vraith wrote:I'm pretty sure the skurj WERE that "fire." Don't you know what your own slaves were doing?? No wonder Kasty could break them out.SkurjMaster wrote: Were the Skurj created from that fire?
I suspect LF knew...it served his purpose to wait for Kasty to slowly go nuts, slowly break lose, and bring the skurj with him. It was perfect for him, allowing him to just whisper advice.
Still, what was their CAUSE? I hope we get to find out. If SRD does not deal with this, that will be a major plot FAIL, not just a hole. I would still read the final book, though.
