What if 'this' happenned?

I love these kind of questions. Feel free to pose your own questions as well, but be sure to put a hypothetical point to each of these five scenarios, and how they would have affected the thread as a whole.


1) What if Exemplar never existed?

2) What if Valeria had stayed in her original character?

3) What if Yitur had succeeded in killing Iko in the Battle of the Tower?

4) Ignoring situation 2, what if Valeria had died in The Angel's Absolution, by Shobatsu's attack?

5) What if Roeh had stayed the course of an antagonist?

1) Ark would be very happy, exept someone else would have to kill Galdon or Salem would be dead.

2) I really have no idea.

3) Same response.

4) Shobatsu would probably have killed himself.

5) Someone would have killed him. I don't think he could beat Jikon or Exemplar.

And...

What if Ivan had actually become a evil manipulator and taken over Novgorad, instead of just sort of being a jerk?

What if Agartha had actually been evil?
