Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
Heya.
I was reading back through some of the posts and PenitentDemon's post about a reversed Blandine and Beleth got me thinking. I've long had a thought about a Free Lilim gaining a Word or even a Principality, and it occured to me that Sloth and Oblivion are both open. My question, what do you think those Words would look like in the modern day? Would they still qualify for being independent Superior-level Words or would they be subsumed under some other Word like The Media or Gluttony? |

Re: Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
And if you go Oblivion, who would know? <g>
More seriously, Secrets appears to be doing a pretty good job of pinch-hitting for Oblivion nowadays.

Re: Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
True, but do you think either Word could stand on it's own at a Superior level these days? I mean, I could see Sloth doing something like trying to get people not to care about anything. And maybe Oblivion wiping out all empathy and feeling from an area, but I'm trying to grasp what those Words really were and how a modern-day claimant could make them relevant and powerful again.
To some extent I have the same question about The Waters. |

Re: Sloth and Oblivion in the modern day
I see your point about trying for the Word of Sloth. :p
So what about Oblivion? What do you all think that Word was about, and how would it apply to the modern day? |
