Y'know what would be really sad? If the reason the Ninth has separate bloodlines for Cavs and Necromancers is because the originals were the children of Anastasia and Samael. Brother and Sister.
What if they both raised them on the Ninth for two decades before attempting perfect lyctorhood, then when Samael died, Anastasia could not face her children. So she interred herself in the tomb without explanation.
Lets say the sister was the necromancer and the brother was the cavalier. Obviously, marriage is out of the question, and its the same for their children and their childrens children. Eventually the culture of not marrying the necromancer and cavalier would be cemented as a way to honor the founders. The saint who grieved the man she thought to spent eternity with.
OK okokok... gonna put this 'I just woke up' thought out there because this is tumblr and what else is it for? Someone has probably already said this and I haven't seen it, but whatever. I will throw it out anyway.
SO... Gale. We've all seen the posts where people quote the Gale lines about being naturally gifted with magic as a baby, a prodigy etc. and then point out that this is sorcerer behaviour.
BUT, what if... you're all right and it is sorcerer behaviour. BUT the orb feeds on weave/magic right? And sorcerers are born with innate magic... so what if he was born a sorcerer, then trained as a wizard, but the orb consumed his sorcerous magic. And that's why he's not as powerful as he once was, because, unbeknownst to him, all this time, he's been using that natural sorcerous connection to make accessing the weave easier. And now that's gone. Eaten up. Destroyed forever by the Netherese void.
And that's part of what's causing him pain. Because an instrinsic part of himself has been taken away. And he feels it like a phantom limb. Maybe he thinks it was actually connected to his relationship with Mystra, rather than a part of him, and that adds to his sense of loss from that relationship.
What if the first magic item Gale fed to the orb was himself and he doesn't even realise it?
hc that if glenn didn't die in the forgotten realms, he'd visit morgan's grave when he got home. though, it wouldn't be morgan anymore. it would be a stranger, rewritten into his reality. someone else's grave. though for years the place he'd visited to place flowers and whisper stories. gone in a moment. is it strange to miss someone's death?
