More souls, etc.

A further response to anonymous who suggested several interesting things:

I was wondering what face of god Gerridon was associated with and whether I had ever established that.  I don't think so.  Preservation seems like a good guess, given his thirst for immortality and his son, Kindrie.   I also like the idea that as such he wouldn't be able to reap souls, only to preserve them if willingly given. ( and in this case it was through the Dream-weaver.  The fallen Kencyr surrendered to her, not directly to Gerridon).  That he can also feed on them (destruction) speaks to a willful perversion in his character.  That was when he truly fell, i.e. became a demon.  Not that he realizes that.

I like that.  It explains Gerridon’s nature and also his fall.  Preying on others’ souls is the original sin.  Perimal Darkling itself was guilty of it on a grand scale when it started devouring the Chain of Creation.
