After additional work with Cyrano and Mixxit, we have another revised version of the pictogram:
[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
THINGS OF NOTE:
1. The center contains gods who created a race: Prexus and Kedge, Innoruuk and the Dark Elves, Brell and the Underfoot, Tunare and the Elves.
2. Joining these forces of creation at the center are two forces that wield the power to destroy: Aeteok and Enoxus, the swords used by an avatar of The Nameless to keep gods in check, and Mayong Mistmoore, who ascended to godhood after usurping Ayonae Ro.
3. The exterior contains events that have left a massive impression on the world of Norrath. The symbols tell of the first races, the rise of Bertoxxulous, the rise of Cazic Thule, the rise and/or fall of Rallos Zek (another force of creation: Ogres) the Marr Twins (another force of creation: Barbarians and Frogloks), the end of the Shissar Empire, the first brood of Dragons, and so on.
What can we determine from this information presented together as a single symbol? Why does Innoruuk, a resentful god that was late to the party, lie most prominently at the center? |

One theory I have for Innoruuk lying at the center runs on an obvious interpretation:
Quote:

Followers of Innoruuk, the Prince of Hate, include nearly the entire dark elven race who regard him as their "Father". They believe that hate is a creative force, or rather "THE" creative force in the universe - creativity born of destruction ... It is the honest belief of the followers of Innoruuk that if they were to hate strongly enough, they could destroy all of Norrath.

What is Mistmoore's relationship with Innoruuk? I understand that MM has previously thwarted the efforts of Lanys T'Vyl, a chosen of Inny. Are they in opposition? |
Lanys may be the chosen of Inny, but they don't have the best father/daughter relationship. If I remember correctly , Lanys tried to destroy Innoruuk and had an affair with Mistmoore as well, but I don't remember how it ended.
It could be that Innoruuk or Hate is represented in the center of the circle as it was his hatred of the high elves that created the dark elves. Additionally, if the power of hate is represented, it would follow with the prophecy of destruction.
