I think that Mina will take her rightfull throne as Queen of Darkness in Amber & Blood while someone like Chemosh will make a change of heart and become the leader of the good side. Yes I know, it sounds hard to believe. If not Chemosh then maybe Majere will make the switch from balance to good.
#2 talinthas Jun 03, 2006 22:20:06	well, majere is already a good god, so he can't switch to good. and i'd love to hear your theory on how the god of death and the undead could justify himself as a good one =)

#4 zombiegleemax Jun 07, 2006 13:56:18	I just dont see Mina as the equal to either Takhisis or Paladine.
#5 frostdawn Jun 07, 2006 15:31:59	I just dont see Mina as the equal to either Takhisis or Paladine. I agree. So far, she's proven to be extremely gullible and naive. For someone who is a god, she's been easily brainwashed twice now, and if she sees someone casting a spell on her, her brain makes the spell actually work on her. Not to mention her name isn't really one that inspires deific grandeur. Sargonnas, Paladine, Takhisis, Chemosh, Mishakal, etc- those names sound like god names. Mina doesn't quite do it. Like having a god named 'Bob'. Doesn't look too promising if she is supposed to take the place of Tak, but I guess MW has something in store for us in the next book to address these concerns. Although I'm still underwhelmed with Ausric Krell, the 'Mungo' of Deathknights. Either way, can't wait to see what happens...

#7 zombiegleemax Jun 07, 2006 18:45:22	I happened to loose much respect for Mina when I read the last part of the Amber and Iron book, but I was very happy that even in death Takhisis is showing the world who owns them!
#8 redrobe Jun 09, 2006 10:17:15	Dicsiple isn't even a word. It should be Disciple. I think you have a typo, my red robed friend...unless are dyslexic you...
#9 talinthas Jun 09, 2006 10:25:58	nah, he just has one of the first printings from gencon=)
#10 zombiegleemax Jun 10, 2006 7:53:13	I think that during the series Mina realized she was more than mortal but acted like she didn't know. So in other words she was playing all the gods and mortals and we'll see that when she wakes up in Amber and Blood. Also, Mina has an advantage over the other gods and goddessess. Her whole god form is on Krynn whereas the other gods' forms are just partially on Krynn known as avatars. She raised the tower by herself and gave life back to Krell (Krell is mortal again). Also, remember the Midori diologues with Mina. Seems like Midori knew that she was all powerful and didn't wanna mess with her and just left, etc.
#11 zombiegleemax Jun 12, 2006 19:54:00	Perhaps this is a way for Taki to return?
#12 zombiegleemax Jun 13, 2006 3:33:50	Hmm... I think that you are all underestimating Mina, maybe she hasn't been around as long as the other gods, which would definitely make her less experienced and easier for the older gods to brainwash her, especially when they have always kept her in the dark. But I believe she has potential, whether she takes the side of Good or Evil...well...either one she takes will have to elevate another into the opposite position. Hopefully all of our questions will be answered in the next installement...
