My burning question
Posted By: JayDate: 12/15/01 4:43 a.m.

No, it isn't a pun about any TOZ-T related fun I'm afraid, it's to appeal to the "thinker" part of the Marathon player psyche, rather than the "carnage side".

The Jjaro - whether they are a race, or AI's themselves - created the S'pht, that much is clear, but what is mentioned less often is the actual background of Pthia. Whatever this other entity or race was, it was "killed" at Lh'ow'on - after reading through the Volunteers series in entirety (which believe me cleared up a *lot* of backstory for me, cheers to Grasshopper, Mark Levin et al), I am absolutely frustrated by the question of who or what Pthia was.

In fact, I believe a lot of mysteries could be solved if we try to understand the relationships between the Jjaro(Yrro) and Pthia, as well as S'buth and the Durandal/Thoth entity.

Cheers,
Jay
