I know I’m coming late into the conversation – but isn’t that a statue of Nemesis? Nemesis featured prominently in vol 3, but I didn’t take it as a representation of the Lady – in spite of the figurative representation on the cover (http://www.twilightlady.com/2010/02/28/nemesis-of-decay/). Nemesis is the “spirit of divine retribution against those who succumb to hubris” which doesn’t quite sound like N’Lith. It is also a symbol of the mysterious “protective” organization that also seems to be after her. Am I wrong and is it intended to be an aspect of hers (or vice-versa)?
Yeah, as if she got sick of it being the main pursuit she was charged with, which could’ve been what lead to the break she had with her ‘former’ family of archangels?
I love firsting… and the snake thing is about to enter a world of hurting…
interesting! Hindu Nirvana theory is that we eventualy become one with god after a series of rebirths….the other side is that there is only oblivion
She’s got a point. If reduction to one is to be considered good, wouldn’t reduction to zero be better?
Oblivion is in itself a type of the perfect and sublime; perhaps more so in its way than anything else we can conceive.
Also, why is the Lady sitting under a statue of herself? 😉
because she can…
good answer

Stay tuned. That’s all I can say right now without spoiling anything…
@Essem: Have you considered why she finds vengeance such a hideously boring pursuit?
