The Harrow
Posted: Tue Oct 15, 2013 12:46 am
Hey guys, I'm writing this for the second time now because whenever I take to long to type things on this forum my computer seems to have a heart attack and the website freezes so... here we go again..
I'd like to talk about all the Insequent we've learned about and encountered in the chronicles so far and I guess I'd like to start with The Harrow.
Each Insequent chooses a name for him or herself, and these names most definitely have meaning. They seem to describe themselves and their designs.. and the word Harrow does have a few interesting meanings
1. A Harrow is a farm tool used to break up land for the farmers.
2. To Plunder or sack
3. To cause distress or torment
The Harrow's name describes him his powers and his designs perfectly. The Harrow's chosen area of study is the study of the viles and their Lore. Through this study The Harrow has learned to literally unmake these beings just like A harrow breaks land. His eyes are another great example. Through Linden SRD explains the power and control The Harrow's eyes have: "She could do nothing but observe her ruin until every particle of her being was devoured." The Harrow torments his victims, and through torment he seeks to claim Lindens instruments of power.
The designs of the Harrow almost entirely contradict his name though. The Harrow is trying to save the Earth by putting the worm of the worlds end into what is essentially limbo. Why this "almost" contradicts his name is because The Harrow doesn't do it because he is a good guy.. he does it because he wants to be named the greatest of his people.
The clothes of the insequent are also very representative of their person. The Harrow wears a fine Leather doublet inlayed with beads as black as his eyes.. and his belt buckle is in the shape of a plowshare (another instrument used to break land.). It seems as if the Harrow thinks very highly of himself and dresses accordingly, this shows through his arrogance. The beads on his doublet are not only for show as they also seem to be a catalyst for his lore.
I don't know if this happened to anyone else, but I was greatly surprised by the Harrow's death which is I think almost 2 quarters through AATE. I felt like I could almost trust the Harrow to accomplish his goal when he shook off the glamour of the lost deep.
Do you guys think the Harrow could have saved the Land despite his contradictory name and actions..? you know: can good be accomplished by evil means? The Insequent showed some faith in him.. they did send the Ardent to accompany and protect the Harrow.. as well as ward against him. The Elohim showed no faith in him.. but im over it. "we do not trust these elohim"
Got anything else you'd like to say about the Harrow? Id love to hear any theories or ideas.. I'd really like to start discussing all these amazing characters.
Yeah sorry for my grammar and whateves this is gonna be my first big kinda post so..
forgive me
