I don’t want to know what horrors Tizzy created by bringing demon butter to a sushi bar or restaurant that served live fish/lobster. Might explain some of the Great Old Ones though…
Maybe Talarius was right and Tizzy is a menace to reality…
While I was worried a little about the fish going extraplanar, I was more concerned with voluntary and involuntarily shared butter and it’s impact on restaurant patrons. Mind you eating DFish without a stomach that is at least ogre-grade is probably ill advised anyway (didn’t Ridley Scott make a documentary about that?).
I was worried about the Patrons because I can imagine that there is a splash zone around Tizzy if he has the Seafood munchies and that sounds like lots of wackiness waiting to happen…
Actually, the corruption of the Church may be even more complicated and far reaching, just because of the lacunas at the end of the last book seem to imply a divine vendetta of Olympian proportions.
Tizzy mentioned that Danu used to be a part of the Etonian Pantheon (the Mother Goddess to the Pantheon) so that alone explains why (besides massive death and destruction on that plane) Tiernon would want a quick end to the conflict. Having his stepbrother and the only non-incarcerated parent figure and her other family fighting might not be good from a personal perspective.
As for the corruption, if one were to assume that Dysnoma and her cohort had figured out what had happened to her mother quite a while ago and her plans were more complex and far reaching than was immediately apparent one can make all sorts of interesting and amusing assumptions.
She would obviously not just want to take down Orcus but destroy what he built and who helped him build it.1. Since a few thousand years are not an issue for a Goddess, performing hit and run attacks as a precursor to actually setting up her brother to die would be logical, especially if said attacks aren’t obvious and can’t be traced back to her.
2. Sing-kun was a known associate of Orcus, and part of his primary support structure. Arranging to have him trapped in some would not be immediately raise any red flags, since apparently this happened often. She just had to make sure it took for longer than usual. Having done so, she would have weakened Orcus’ support structure.
3. Loki was another part of that structure. Loki was part of a pantheon that had a end-times mythology as part of its primary structure, as such, helping cause Ragnarok would have been an elegant way to get Loki off the playing field. I imagine Loki showing up on Etterdam would have unbalanced things a bit more in favor of Orcus.
4. Giving Sentir Fallon the Frostmourne treatment from Warcraft (slightly modified of course) and relying on him to bless the weapon to hide her involvement is actually ingenius, especially since the corrupted dagger could then be further used to influence mortals and avatars alike.
5. Hephaestus would be a phenominally hard deity to actually kill /inconvenience because he is in multiple pantheons and is the patron god of an entire species. But she could cause him pain by stripping his wife and her family, a family he likes a ton more than his own, of all their power and worshippers, so the predations of the Etonians make more sense, especially the coordination.
6. Volund would actually just retreat into his mountain if he had no one who he cared to associated with around. As such, not much of a threat.
7. The Etonians would be facing massive backlash over their avatars actions as well as their own, and them having to suddenly face the combined might of the gods of light, whether through a tribunal or whatever will most probably be uncomfortable for them, and probably weaken them on some level, making it easier for Dysnoma and her buddies to strike from the shadows.
As said, fun and amusing assumptions.
