Talk:The Withered

Petition to remove speculation/reasoning/debate on the page

Currently, a good paragraph or two is devoted to debunking/rationalizing the Withered's actions, and the skeptics were the last respondents.

While I have answers to those begged questions (below), addressing them adds to the problem and erasing them outright appears uncouth.

I defer the final decision and action to someone with established authority.

Q:"This doesn't explain why The Withered travelled with a small army of darkspawn to Vigil's Keep"

A:darkspawns and humans are at war by default; travelling without an army would be lamb to the slaughter

Q:"why the survivor tells The Warden that a sneak attack was launched against the Wardens"

A:per game quests and dialogues, darkspawns are said to have come out from under the ground. darkspawns instinctively tunnel and transverse the underground (deep roads, search for old god, et cetera), which the Withered probably did. To humans, any armed persons coming out of ground in large numbers would seem like an ambush, and the fact that the group consists of darkspawns compounds the issue.
