[HQ Ignorance] Re : Scene Five: The Nameless Man Arrives

[Nic Hughes]

OOC: minor correction, Aalmon agreed that time was the gift in the 
riddle but said that the identity of the nameless man was still unclear.

I agree that time is the answer to the riddle but that was not the 
question, I've done enough exams in my life to know that you should 
always check that you are actually answering the question that was set! 
Anyway I have made another IC post of Aalmon exercising his rather 
limited Philosophy skills on the subject matter and Kalen still seems to 
be working on it IC.

Part of my problem is that I really do not know the mythology of the 
West (and google did not help yesterday) so if push comes to shove 
Aalmon will just start using central Genertalan names for myths because 
those are the only ones I know - and arguably enough of his culture 
comes from there for me to get away with it.

I think I know what his crime is now - he caused all the deaths of 
everyone that has ever lived, even the ones that are still alive. Not 
bad as crimes go but Kraken may take a while to read out the rap sheet :)
