hoser he/him Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 (edited) I have so many unanswered questions about the opposition in this book. There is only one Tower of Nebrask. Even when the Tower of Nebrask dominated alternate North America there was only one. Why would the Tower struggle to dominate a whole continent and reach for more when it doesn't proliferate? How is it better off with a huge territory when it apparently doesn't use the territory? Does it benefit from the struggle somehow? Is it basically a single entity? Would it be threatened by others of it's own kind? Is it incapable of proliferation? Is it eliminating a threat? It is an artifact, maybe even a human artifact. Who made it and why? Is it a sort of uber-Frankenstein, a corruption created by humans or an evil cabal? Is there a natural or supernatural force that just adopted a convenient structure? A combination? Nalizar seems more capable than the Forgotten that possessed Harding. He seems to be able to act independently. The Tower continues to exist and fight without him. I infer that he is not the sole independent mind associated with the Tower. I also infer that there are peers or superiors of Nalizar. Does this imply that the governance of the Tower is either hierarchical or a sort of council? What does the Tower want? With Nalizar on campus for another year, does a heretofore unknown possibility for communication exist? Could a negotiated arrangement, a peaceful settlement occur? What is Nalizar? Is it an original human body that has been possessed? Is it some kind of Shapeshifter that adopted his form and maybe his memories? Is it a different human that is maintaining an illusion? How was the creature that is now Nalizar so capable of passing for Nalizar? I feel so puzzled and I know that the brilliant and creative minds on on this site are capable of clarifying the fog. Please help. Edited November 14, 2013 by hoser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.S.A.M.K.M Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think Melody and Fitch would believe Joel, about the true enemy, but they wont be able to something directly, even if they dont believe, they would help with his suspicions. Harding may be willing to help out, he was used by a monster, so eager to go against them. We know that apparently navilar and harding were taken when they tried to save william, so what about other members of the party with them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
