Aracoix: Aracoix and Warlockry
Aracoix and Warlockry
I haven't had the time to digest your lengthy treatise yet...
But one thing I can say, regarding the Aracoix - their description states that they cannot speak as Humans do. They have not the lips, teeth, or throat for it. They have always communicated telepathically. The leap from that to Warlockry is very small.
The fact that they know how to do it raises an interesting possibility: what if Warlockry, like Travelling, was also learned from the Aracoix? And what if the whole "we are the New Gods" theory thast so many Warlocks espouse is little more than propoganda?
Of course, maybe they ARE the new gods. The old ones are certainly MIA...
