Well, thanks Nuzanshi, and thanks for the translations which followed afterwards. I'm especially grateful to Icus for the explanation of the Zhoi bit - it shows that it's damn complicated to translate a saying into another language, especially when one played with it!
Regarding the Atreus thing - I'm (once again!) not with Daomei on that. As said, I found it pretty intriguing. It was clear to me, as a player, that it couldn't be Dexton, who died on all servers, and it would have been ridiculous to bring him back. As a character, one can't be that sure. How many timelines "melted" into one? The "River of Time" still generated and generates weird effects. Anyway, it did produce in-game tension, which, as far as I'm concerned, is generally a good thing in roleplay (OOC tension is, as always, less delightful).
The passing of judgement, by the way, was the first time I returned to the Desert since the Kitin attack on Pyr. I even thought about asking for an interview with the dying Atreus, but then decided that chances for it would have been as good as those of an ant at the aardvarks yearly get-together! ^^
