New StarCraft Comic: "The Keep"

[ragnarok]

A Kardashev Type IV civilization would be good for a sci-fi. However, Amon does not belong to any of the categories. What he represents is a spiritual being. He lives in a realm of energy, which creates a problem:

The prologue. How can they even get into that place without being ripped to shreds? Alarak saved Artanis from void energy, and that is only energy that comes from the temple. Them actually going into void energy? I'm lost.

What did they do in the prologue? How? I'm confused.

It wasn't void energy at all, but rather what Amon corrupted.

It wasn't void energy at all, but rather what Amon corrupted.

Which makes me wonder about the Dark Templar and Tal'darim. Was all Void energy corrupted by Amon, and Dark templar only skim off small volumes of it to use? Or were portions of the Void left uncorrupted, and it was this fragmentary energy the DTs used?

I'm not convinced it was ALL of the Void, Ouros was being hypocritical. If Amon corrupted ALL of the Void, he should have been able to control the Nerazim and the Tal'darim factions as mindless slaves too, since both of them use Void energies.

Because it does not work in the same way as the khala that uses the connection, in the lens of the void it is observed that whenever a dark templar uses the energies of void he is fighting against a voracious entity similar to taming a beast through discipline, amon Was there threatening, perhaps now that amon has disappeared this aggressive behavior of the void also

[Gradius]

Funny in hindsight that Aldaris called the dark templars energy profane and its usage as "most grievous of all". Guess he was right again.

[TheEconomist]

You know, I never (purposefully) thought of that. Could it be that the series has been retconned so hard that it's come full circle to vindicate Aldaris? That's probably the only retconning that will actually make me think more deeply than previously in my next SC play through.

You don't know that. It was due to Amon's corruption, and it wasn't all the Void. That's why I hope future lore would explain the Void energy could be used for better purposes.

Ha, another reason to love Aldy. It's pretty funny how many people have started liking him better since SC2 came out. I used to do my SC character analysies, and he's gotten far less hate than before.

The guy ultimately learned, but the Conclave he represented still remained a problem, and people still associate him to that.

[GnaReffotsirk]

I think that's what Gradius is hinting at. Think about it, you wonder why the Conclave considered it evil to associate with dark templars. There is a reason why they try, as much as possible, to have their people, especially high templars, not have anything to do with them.

The conclave considers the ways of the Dark Templars to be somewhat evil. When Tassadar learned to use the dark templar energies, he has become a danger.

Now I know most people think this to only be a cultural thing, and Tassadar seem to blame the conclave's exclusion of the Dark templar on some pride. But when you look at it further back, there was a potential for disaster when the DTs where involved, especially pertaining to the use of their psionic abilities.
