I was looking through B&E last night and I relized that there are at least four types of hekatonkhire. Â You have the dead behemoths. Â You have the ones who were formed during the death of the Primordials, like Vodok, from the spilt ichor and hatred. Â You have the ones who were formed by the dreams of the Malfeans, like Loras, Death Sun. Â The final type though is most interesting. Â The last type are the former souls of the dead Primordials. Â The living souls were forced to become dead souls and the souls already slain reformed as things dead. Â
In effect, the fourth type of hekatonkhire should be the most powerful and the most sapient. Â There are at least thirteen Malfeans, one for each of the Deathlords, though there may be more, so there should be at least thirteen former Fetiches. Â There may be more, as the slain Fetiches that were later replaced during the Primordial War would have reformed when the titans died. Â There are probably hundreds of former Third Circle Souls. Â I also posit that, since the souls of the dead Primordials were transformed or reformed, their souls went through the same process, resulting in thousands of former Second Circle Souls. Â Therefore, there are at least thirteen hekatonkhire more powerful than anything in Creation or Malfeas except for Ligier, hundreds that are as powerful as the Celestial Incarna and thousands that are as powerful as the Gods. Â This means that within the Labyrinth there are forces powerful enough to conquer Creation or to destroy it. Â
One can only assume that they don't approve of the Malfeans plan to destroy Creation and turn everything to Oblivion. Â Otherwise, Creation would already be dead. Â Perhaps these former souls are seeking to resurrect their former masters, so that they might live again as well, and are trying to moderate the insanity of the dead Titans so that they have enough time to do so. Â Perhaps they quietly oppose the Deathlords and will work against them if it seems that they might succeed in their plans. Â Perhaps they have their own plans for Creation. Â After all, a Conclave of Thirteen Fetichs, a few hundred Third Circle Souls and a couple of thousand Second Circle Souls would be difficult to stop. Â I wonder if even all of the armies of Heaven could stop them.
