<P>And, just to put it in writing, at least I'm hoping all the other lore fanatics will agree with me:</P> <P>The gods went silent as sort of a punishment for the pride and insolence of the Norrathians, specifically in response to Norrathians invading the planes of the gods and killing their physical forms (you can't really kill en essence of feeling now, can you?).  Since the Norrathians seemed so intent on ridding themselves of gods, the gods did the work for them, and up and disappeared.</P> <P>The prayers of the Norrathians blow in the wind (or somethin like that)</P> <P> </P> <P>Keeper of Lore</P> <P>Endless Source of Useless Information</P><p>Message Edited by Nocturnal Abyss on <span class=date_text>05-20-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:44 PM</span>
