Open Questions

This is a page where I collect open questions, plot holes (PH) and retcon ideas for further improvement of my worldbuilding. It might not be entirely understandable to someone who isn't me, as I might be referencing ideas that only ever were in my head, or ideas that are no longer present due to me already retconning them. In which case I must say: sounds like a personal problem.

Question / PH 1: How does the business with Mors soul work? Why doesn't he just create his own "children" to go send to other worlds / do his business and instead resorts to experimenting on divines?

Option A: I could retcon the fact that Ia and Mors other daughters / children ((orginally it were just the daughters of Mors but maybe I also want edgy male angels of death)) were originally divines created by God and instead say they were created by Mors.

For this I could even go as far as to say that some of the original divines were created by Mors, while others were created by God. Although in that case again it wouldn't make sense for Mors to chose a pre-existing divine to experiment on when he could just create a new one that would meet the requirements perfectly or that would already be able to use uncreation.

I could just say that Avaritia predicted that no children of his creation would ever be able to leave this world, or that no children with the seed of uncreation already inside of them would be able to. Though I am not sure how far I want to go with Avaritia's ability to predict the future / chose the optimal path anyway.

Alternatively I could say that Mors is simply unable to use mana in general or unable to use it to create souls / children of his own, although that would again leave questions open regarding the nature of his soul and how he was even able to implant a shard of it inside of Ia in the first place. This brings up the question why his soul is able to use uncreation anyway.

Uncreation is a power that existed even before souls and is unrelated to them, and, as such, a soul should be unable to use it. Maybe I could just say that Mors (and perhaps by extension God) have souls different from any others and that these souls are able to use the powers of uncreation and creation, respectively. Or I could say that the creation of the concept of souls bound their powers to their souls, as they previously existed without a core / centre, which was simply too straining for the universe / Emdes.
