Anashti is a curious thing.

<p>IF Anashti is the babe controlling the Shadowed men and others harbingers of doom, and for vengence on being cast out from being a god, why did she destroy other worlds?  I could be wrong, but I think she has also recruited some of the destroyed worlds denizens (makes sense why we can worhsip her soon) because the void beasts and shadowed men match some of the discriptions of some of the Rememberances books.  But what did the other worlds have to do with her?  I mean you dont hear other gods talking about the other "dimensions" other then Norrath and the relative planes much.</p>

<p>ashanti isnt behind all of it as we have seen from new lore</p>

[Cusashorn]

<p>Yeah, she only controls a certain faction of the Shadowmen, who, ultimately no matter what their differences, wish to see the cease of all existance no matter who's side they're on.</p>

[Cusashorn]

<p>Ok, I change my statement. Existance AS WE KNOW IT would better describe thier desires.</p>

<p>Well, she's in charge of the Shadowed Men invasion in the Moors, that's for sure.  The Adjunct in Ahkzul gives a nice speech when you first enter the zone, addressing the invasion force gathering there.  I need to get a screenshot, but he goes on an on about how the Obelisk is almost complete and how it's the staging ground for the invasion and subjugation being the goal and perpetrating the Desolate One's return to Norrath and on and on and on.  Of course, when you get to Executor Vark, you find that he's hiding the Staff of Theer with the intention of keeping its power for himself, rather than turning it over to Anashti Sul.  He kills the Adjunct for calling him out on it.</p>

<p>Ok, so who is in charge of the ones in Obelisk of Lost Souls?  As in the books there apparently suggest that they are trying to wipe the world clean or something of that affect.  I would like to suggest that the evil eyes took over the Obelisk, since the raid mob in their is the toughest thing there and they greatly lessened their control on Runnyeye when the Obelisk started showing up BUT why would the Obelisk have been there in the first place?  Did Anashti somehow contact them and "recruit" them (apparently in a less coercive way compared to everyone else) and give them the command for the beggining invasions and reconoiter?</p>
