I feel like a missing question is "what can be done about the Coming of the Destroyer?"

In the face of that sort of prophecy I can imagine one either being defiant or resigned.

I'm in the latter, because I have no idea about how to effectively be the former.

Tukufu is also largely resigned. The prophesies come from a wide variety of priests of Illiir and Larissa...and even other sources. It would seem to be part of "the Divine Plan." Sadly none of the many prophesies mention escape clauses. It seems the Destroyer is inevitable ... and even if it weren't, derailing his coming could derail fate and cause the Divine Plan to fail (less of an issue for elorii and Mourner characters).

That said Tukufu is on the look out for ways to do "mitigation" and/or "damage control."

We are missing a more important question. WHAT is the destroyer supposedly going to destroy? We all assume that the coming destruction is a bad thing. But destroying evil and other what-not is often a good thing. Still, other things destroyed would just be interesting....

The current world order. If we're lucky...just that. If not (really really not) ... Arcanis may go down a moon.

Fewer moons = What? Aside from really screwing with the astrologers and scribes what is wrong with a missing moon?

This from the man who has a PC who insists the Black Moon is a giant egg. I prefer to think of it as a prison.

Hey, for all we know the pom is trapped there too. Think of it as a galactic kinder egg.

Well, speaking from my end, I think that destroying a moon might lead to some problems. Having a small planet worth of loose rock floating around my planet may drop real estate values. . .

Not to mention what happens when the rocks start falling. Just saying. :(
