[Blog] The Burrower Wars Part III: Life of Keres

[Havard]

I had a second thought about this: if Keres had control over all the Burrowers (and the above quoted stuff is valid...), HE could have summoned an Outer Being (or Thanatos?) to the Prime plane, so possibly Khoronus intervention prevented him from taking control of the critical number of Burrowers required.

Centuries of wars later, when it became clear that a powerful Burrower could actually take control of enough other Burrowers to summon (in its turn) an Outer Being, then there was another intervention to put them all back to sleep...

This makes sense to me.
What if the power of the Burrowers somehow depends on the number of mortals who follow them, sort of like with Immortals? This way, it makes sense for Burrowers to have their followers attack the followers of other Burrowers to weaken them rather than fight it out among themselves.

This will also allow us to bring this situation down to PC scale, where the actions of mortals might matter.
