End Game, The: About the End Game

How can there be an End of Days?

Well, lots of ways... One of the primary themes that keeps coming up again and again in the Legend of Shadowbane and the SB backstory in general is that NOTHING is eternal. The World had its golden age... and it passed. That said, I wouldn't worry about fighting or fleeing from the Dragon anytime soon, though. The Dragon isn't a god so much as a cosmic force - something on the order of the All-Father in power. When it wakes up, bad bad things will happen. The inevitability of that doom is very Norse, and very very cool. So take heart - we at WP won't wake up the Dragon and throw it into the mix until well into the ongoing storyline, and never just "to shake things up" - it's far too big of a gun for that. When the Dragon returns, the moment will definitely be meaningful.

So don't worry, but just don't forget - it IS down there, and it WILL wake up.

And then will come Ragnarok.
