Stormy, this is impressive, indeed. Thanks for the great work <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
I didn't know about the possibility of sending mortality to go check the shadows.
You are absolutely right Stormy writing about several answers. There are at least two points of view on this matter.Mortality's -nothing- and TNO's regret or even -beleif-. There are more, in PST, TNO was asking many people that question. How many answers has he got, I do not remember.
Here is fragment from torment story
Scroll down here for complete Planescape: Torment Story by Rhys Hess ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear -whatever you *believe* can change the nature of a man, can."
THEN YOU LEARNED A FALSE LESSON, BROKEN ONE.
"Have I? I've seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil's hag heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me."
YOUR DEFIANCE WILL HURT YOU MORE THAN ANY WOUND IN THIS PLACE. BELIEF CANNOT CHANGE THE NATURE OF A MAN.
"I think it can. I think belief could even unmake me, if I believed it *enough.*"

How can you answer this question? Which point of view is closer to you? They say there is a core in every man, which is his nature, it never changes. Hmm, here we come to the question of what is the nature then? Or can the core change? So many questions unanswered, so many more stories untold. Man, beleiving in regret understands and regrets the crimes he has committed and therefore goes to the war. He beleives into -beleif- and still goes to war even knowing he is no more immortal.
