Could you maybe expand a bit on the Horrorterrors? They're the opposite to Skaia, against Creation and conspiring with the Dersite royalty against the players to oppose the breeding of the Genesis Frog... but why would they help players that dream on Derse? How are they the Derse dreamer's equivalent of Skaia's clouds if they're actually AGAINST the players? It doesn't quite make sense to me, and I'd appreciate your input.
Well, Derse is the Forces of Darkness sending Agents and commissioning Underlings to the Denizens to face the Players and stop them from completing the game, yet half of the Players dream there and are considered Nobility of some sort. I can’t recall who it was, but they actually point this out in canon. Between Game Mechanics, Dubious Motivations, Betrayals, and general fuckery because of the Horrorterrors’ Chaotic, Unpredictable nature, we can’t tell what their ultimate goal is. I mean you could also ask, if Skaia is the force of Light that Guides the Players, why the fuck does the Timeline do such fucked up things from time to time? They’re a battle of ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’, of ‘Light’ and ‘Darknes’, but at the end of the day, both Horrorterrors and Skaia are deity-like entities with Agendas that span Multiverses and that can’t be truly comprehended.
