VTS, the time trap thingy
i forget the specific name but it is mentioned in the sentence that precedes this acronyms appearance
page 132:
No word, but the Storm Lords will not sit idly by [b]why[/b] we try to restore the Peace of Doom to our lands.[b]when[/b]
In some mythos that is correct. For example in Hinduism it is the physical incarnation of a deity in the “real world” i.e. come down from heaven.
When I was younger I used to explain (to others bewilderment) that both Jesus and The Holy Ghost/Spirit were avatars of God (the Father) or Creator. Jesus being the physical avatar and the Holy Spirit/Ghost the astral projection/spiritual avatar. The latter also being consistent with the HS being the “Word Of”
However, in other mythologies and many Fantasy/SF books it is a god’s representative.
As I have defined it here, I use the broader Fantasy/SF literature version.
So in Astlanian terminology an avatar is either a Saint, Archon, Angel, Prophet, etc. Someone that acts with the deity’s authority.Now of course, this is (could) also (be) an Apostle, Emissary, Ambassador, Agent
vasselle considers tom a god like being, so it is appropriate in his mind that tom have avatars, like any god, so he is referencing the D’Orks here
Huh, yes. I see it now Vergian Time Stasis…
Would still not use an acronym after mentioning it once.Page 46,
In fact, he was on a first Name Basis with his master, and the master’s avatars.Tom has avatars?
Are we talking about shapechanged Tom, i.e. Edwyrd?
