Erik Growen-Sunbane-Jack the Blipper-Colin Neilson
In the Metropolis Sourcebook (pg. 53) there is an intriguing line. According to a piece of 'Holy Scripture' etched into green marble on the streets of the City, the Demiurge was "marred in the web of the Temptress and lured to send Man into exile from Metropolis to Elysium, the prison that was created for him." If the engraving is to be taken as litural, who is the Temptress that tricked the Demiurge? I just cannot see any of the Archons or Death Angels being powerful, or clever, enough to fool the Supreme Being. Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
Ok, who said Astaroth was a man? Hehehe...
kawaii, Sunbane kawaii!
The answer, I like. However, on a more serious note, it cannot be Astaroth as he spends all his time trying to find where the Demiurge took off to, including a short jaunt into the Abyss which apparently (according to the 2nd Edition Rules) the Demiurge's Citadel has re-emerged from. So who can this enigma be ... hmmmm?
Not meaning to spoil your hopes but it _can_ be that it's just something to annoy readers (observe "can"). Perhaps it's something "metaphoric". this thing could be something more "fuzzy"? perhaps? he got blinded by his might? Perhaps he fell in love with some cosmic off world goddess who wished to have a little "ZOO" and now she left him, and he is searching the void for his love and has forgotten about his human "pets"...? nah I dunno...crap! IMHO I liked the first edition more. A black abyss is more "mystic" than a sea and citadel. But that's only my opinion...
Actually, having read the sourcebook, I would assume it is the same Temptress who is listed in the Damned section. She has her own incarnates, and may be connected to Astaroth, but most believe she is another entity entirely. Personally, I like the theory that there may be other beings with power on the level of the Demiurge and Astaroth, but working for their own goals.
