In Response To: A deeper look at the Precursors. (Postmortem)
:
: Our latest article over at Forward Unto Dawn takes a look at the origins of
: the Gravemind and its possible significance in the continuation of the
: Precursors after the oldest known conflict within the Halo universe. Using
: evidence from the works of H.P. Lovecraft, we have made meaningful
: extrapolations as to the literary significance of the Gravemind within
: Halo's storyline, as well as how this ties in with the story of the
: Precursors. These revelations could have far reaching implications on one
: of Halo's most important characters, as well as the storyline of the
: Reclaimer trilogy.
Your mention of Lovecraftian themes reminded me of the W'rkncacnter from Marathon and the Dreaming God from Pathways Into Darkness. http://marathon.bungie.org/story/wrkncacnter.html http://pid.bungie.org/dreaminggod.html Possibly one and the same species, but while the Dreaming God may have been a W'rkn, there's no (Bungie released) evidence that the Precursors were bad guys, unless Cryptum is using internal notes from Bungie in regards to them that we haven't been made aware of. Interesting article.
