  • The Tumerok references, at the time of ACDM, weren't intended to be literal truth, but an expression of how they think about the world in mythological terms. The Olthoi filled a biological niche they identified as akin to their spirit of decay, so they considered them to be an expression of Wharu's hand in the world.
  • During my time, the Olthoi were considered a completely natural form of life. They were a menace because they the evolutionary product of a far more aggressive insectoid-fungal ecosystem. If there was a later change to that, maybe it was intended to reconcile the absence of direct Nameless intervention in the Third Sending, as I discussed above.

  • No
Question
  • Are the Olthoi natural creatures, no different in origin from say a Shreth, or did they have a more malevolent purpose? I ask because the Tumerok refer to Olthoi as the children of Wharu, and Wharu is, essentially, a Tumerok demon, the spirit of decay. I believe in AC2, Wharu was revealed to be a Kemeroi.
