New StarCraft Comic: "The Keep"

[ragnarok]

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.

Yes, the Conclave's fear wasn't groundless. Without the Khala, the Dark Templar couldn't control the psionic storms. We all knew they eventually did learn how to control it even without the Khala later on, but that certainly wasn't the case back in 1500 A.D.

Thus the Conclave felt that if the Dark Templar kept trying this, they could end up killing Khalai Protoss without even knowing it. So to want them removed from the picture certainly had its reasoning.

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.

Oh, everyone's just copying me now is all.

I've loved Aldaris right from the start. He's my favourite Protoss character in Sc1 (I never fawned over overrated Tassadar like most Protoss-lovers do ) and that's not just because he's voiced by Paul Eiding either. He, like Mengsk and the Overmind, are the most complex characters (and therefore most difficult to "like" in the traditional sense) in Sc1.

Interesting. And here I thought you only did after the breakdown in the SC2 lore and looked back at the SC1 lore.

[Gradius]

Yeah everyone here has always loved Aldaris. Good luck telling people that he's an amazing character on the b.net forums.

The will of the Conclave is ABSOLUTE.

[ragnarok]

The will of the Conclave is ABSOLUTE.

It's just another dictatorship. But then again, you can argue the same for democracy anyways, so I won't blame you for this Stratos.

[Gradius]

so I won't blame you for this Stratos.

Thank god! Stratos, you dodged a bullet!

[Turalyon]

Yeah well, this is hardly surprising since you're usually wrong when it comes to presuming what others think.

The will of the Conclave is ABSOLUTE.

Man, the delivery of the next line he says after this was boss: "Make peace with Adun!"

Oh that's nothing new as the Conclave praised Adun's actions in their belief he saved them from the Nerazim's actions for their unwillingness to accept the Khala.

I love you Tura, but sometimes you say the weirdest things outta nowhere. Yes, Aldy is best 'Toss and yes, Mengskie-poo is complicated, but the Overmind? All he ever was was a giant eyeball that wanted to conquer everyone. He has no character depth. Sure, his motives are somewhat mysterious and interesting as a result, but he himself isn't terribly deep or complicated. In fact, one reason I dislike him is because he's on the boring side.

But Mengsk is marvelous as a baddie, I will say that.
