I am aware that many people changed ages recently, for reasons unclear. However, I must ask... did any others here, gods or shinki, in fact become an entirely different entity? As if you were another person, not yourself?

I believe this happened to me because I am a goddess, an Aesir, and not a mortal ascended to this role... but I would like to know.

Nae, I am a shinki. One of the many who travel this land. When the powers that struck matured me I went by a different identity than I do now. I still had no memories but I knew my name to be different than I do now as well.

[nibelungvalesti]

Did you remember your time in the Far Shore, after your death, when you were aged?

[thehandhungers]

No, it seemed like my death came later in my life than it does now. This youth, my sword, the power flowing through me. All of it was lost to the haze of a forgotten life.

I wonder if that means my surety of my death is not as sure as originally thought.

[nibelungvalesti]

Or perhaps you were indeed another person entirely. I would... not be displeased if that were the case, and another here proved to suffer the same change.

[thehandhungers]

What could such a thing mean? Am I to be reborn a master of the dark arts? An arcane trickster? Is my soul so great that one vessel cannot contain it?

[nibelungvalesti]

As I am not to be reborn, I must speculate that in some way we simply became different people entirely. Mine certainly had no connection to me in any way.

[thehandhungers]

The sorcerer went by a different name and different style, but we both had a certain flair that I cannot deny.

[nibelungvalesti]

The girl I became had some physical similarities to me, but was in fact a different kind of being altogether. Though there are parallels, I do not think there are more than that.

[thehandhungers]

It could be that the powers that levied against the heavens did more than alter time, but indeed altered the boundaries between worlds. A world where we aren't as we are but are as we could be or could have been.

[nibelungvalesti]

I cannot personally imagine how I could have been a young human woman in any world, but I suppose stranger things have happened.
