Talk:Lord Jadoth

We don't know if he fought against the gods of not. There's a 200 year period between the exodus of the gods and the imprisonment of Abaddon in which he could've been killed (probably fighting the Forgotten) or changed sides. -- Gordon Ecker 22:48, 27 November 2006 (CST)
 * And he's still alive, but he wasn't necessarily a member of the Horde of Darkness. -- Gordon Ecker 03:57, 2 December 2006 (CST)

It doesn't say he is the first Margonite. It says he is the first of the Margonites, which could easily mean "...to have the gift of Abaddon." The Margonites are from the Marga Coast (read the Manuscripts), thus the name Margonite. So obviously they existed before 1 BE.


 * It's the end of the sentence. I can think of two possibilities which are consistant with both the timeline and the Scriptures of Abaddon. One is that Jadoth was transformed into a Margonite long before he received the gift of magic. The other is that Margonite originally referred to the seafaring civilization that followed Abaddon, and acquired its current meaning after the Margonites were transformed into demons. -- Gordon Ecker 03:35, 16 December 2006 (CST)

I agree with the second poster. The manuscripts clearly explain that the Margonites had settlements North and East of Elona at 175 BE. Jadoth just had be the first Margonite that was given the gift of Magic, the gift of Abbadon.


 * Jadoth is explicitly referred to as the first Margonite in the Scriptures of Abaddon. There is nothing official that contradicts this. The existance of Margonite colonies an 175 BE doesn't make a difference since Margonites are extremely long-lived if not immortal, Jadoth could've been transformed into a Margonite before 500 BE and it still wouldn't contradict anything in the established history of the Margonites. -- Gordon Ecker 22:35, 26 January 2007 (CST)
