(weird question) Did TNO have any kids?

Post by Jules »

I wonder whether TNO had any children throughout his hundreds of lives. You never meet any of them in Torment, but it seems unlikely that he could live hundreds of lives, following every path life can offer, and never happen to become a father.

After thinking about this, I came to the conclusion that TNO's being in some sense fundamentally "lifeless" after Ravel strips him of his mortality means that he is infertile. Sort of like at the very end of George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones, when Daenyris has a ceremony performed to try to save Khal Drogo's life, and after it causes a miscarriage of Daeny's unborn child, the witch who performs the ceremony says something about how "only death can pay for life." Since TNO can't die, he cannot procreate either. It's sort of a cosmic balance thing, like how every time he "should" die, someone else dies in his place.

Well, if he could have kids (presuming that the ritual didn't make him infertile), then maybe the countless enemies the incarnations have made hunted them down..or maybe Morte's the skull of TNO's son :eek: - Kidding.

But probably, if he did have any, then the shadows and TTO might've killed them..
