It's pretty obvious who the Demiurge is, are we going to see him and his avatars like JC and He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named appear?

It'd be a pretty bold move by TAG.

JC Denton?

You should read C.S. Lewis' Screwtape letters. Its about a higher up demon named Screwtape who is writing letter to his nephew Wormwood. Pretty much the loving Uncle giving good advice on how to Wormwood can corrupt his charge. Really a good book.

I think that potentially shoving You-Know-Who and his god's head back up their collective righteous arse is a different matter than writing a serious metaphysical book!

Also, you have to be somewhat circumspect when making fun of people to their faces.

Going back, Volund seems quite opposed to Sam putting the Demi-Urge in Tartarus. Is this because Volume doesn't want DU in there, or because he doesn't want Sam to know that Tom is the new Warden?

Most pornographic book ever written if you ask me.

That whole planet(s) and everything involving the DU is crazy. I'm not a big Sam fan, but personally, I like him better than the DU. The DU sets up multiple religions in his name and then plays them off each other in mass slaughter? Not even Sam is that vicious. Plus that DU and his priests are total mana hogs, why do you think that planet doesn't have much free mana? His priests are hoovering it up. Greedy 0.1% god.

Now, that being said, his "son' is not actually "his" son, but rather another entity all together, and despite what people think/thought, he was not talking about the DU. He was talking about Anselm's god. God the Creator, the Alpha, the Omega, a very Zen like being for which there is little proof, but some would argue ample evidence and a very strong logical argument. But again, this is not the DU. The DU is a fragmented splinter of that exalted rabbi's "father in heaven"

Technically, the DU is just another god, and in fact, he used to admit that there were other pantheons. Remember, "Thou shalt not have any other god before the Lord thy God?" If there is only one true god, then how would it be possible to have another god before him? So he admits there are/were other gods.

You see, in the early days, he was willing to admit that other gods were real, and if you wanted to pay homage to them, you could, but you had to put him first and foremost and give him the majority of your mana. Crumbs for the others.

As his religion(s) spread, he changed his tune, first eliminating the secondary gods, then failing to acknowledge the other gods.

Stainsberry and his spin off books will go into this in some depths, or so I am told.

Yep. They certainly could come back. A lot of them left though, because he'd hoovered up so much of the mana on the planet, they were having trouble raising enough to justify the investment. There are still some places though that they could use as a breach head. But it would take a lot of work.

Sure, I'll take credit for it!

What am I taking credit for? Knocking the gods off Earth? Sure....
