The best part is you can't tell whose side he was on, he's wearing preist of the count jewlery and wielding their weapons but the armor is of mottom's army and so is the horse.

Who are you talking about? I've looked all over the page and I don't see anyone that looks like that.

Yeah, I don't see anything there that especially jumps out as being from either Mottom or Mammon's army. MAYBE the powered spear, but that's a stretch. And Mottoms' mounts were mostly beaked raptors.

The servant race is widespread. Mammon just killed his particular family and not the entire race.

"Servant" technically refers to any non-human, non-angel, non-devil race that were created by the gods previously to humans, each for a specific task - the Goblins were made to clean the sewers of Throne, for instance. The name for Mammon's Servant race is "The Kind People", although they're nicknamed dragons. And yeah, there's still plenty of them left.

Edit: you know, I didn't even think about/notice this until now, but...





Mammon doesn't have those mouthfingers. He must have lost them at some point. Essentially, he has no arms or hands!

Mammon's head design changed a lot between flashbacks and his first actual appearance. Compare:

Could be that's how his species look when they reach a certain age, but it's more likely just the art evolving.

I see the fingers in the first image, and they're gone in the next 3 images. Otherwise the differences just do look like the art changing. So yeah, I think he lost his fingers at some point, whether it was in battle or just rotting away from overgrowing.

You can still see that ridge in the middle of his snout, like his fingers became the snout or something as he kept growing.

My perception of the whole mamon having jaws thing is he sorta became 'the great dragon', you can kinda see how his mouth parts were and yet he seems a little... twisted into form. Plus he seems loving enormous compared to his species. Fits with the soulsy sorta vibe he puts out.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

The Kind People continue to grow throughout their lives; I assume that Mammon is so enormous compared to the rest of his race because (like the other Demiurges) he has prolonged his life well beyond the normal range. I would guess that most of the Kind People die much smaller from natural causes before they can reach his size. Possibly another effect of that is that as he has gotten so immense his body has warped in other ways too.

Not really seeing that...? I see a hole that looks like where a nose should be - it's probably where the fingers used to grow and now are just gone.

You know how people say alligators/crocodiles never stop growing? I'm pretty sure that's basically true for his species. Servants are effectively immortal when it comes to aging (mortality was introduced with humans), but they can still be killed through normal means... And he's what happens when that never happens for thousands of years, and just keep growing.

Right, except that all Servants are immortal and won't ever die of "natural causes" (i.e. aging).

He still has his mouth fingers, they're the red parts of his face.

They're just stuck in the elongated position now. Arthritis is a thing for dragon servants too, I guess.

I don't think so, I'm pretty sure that's the four sets of jaws/teeth mentioned in the race description that are normally not visible. The teeth are not normally part of the fingers.

yeah thats pretty good


A small aside courtesy of the RPG - the kind people are profoundly subservient, and loyalty is the highest virtue. Mammon being a master unto himself is regarded as a degenerate and is extremely loathed for that.

Note that this isn't a general thing of Servants - Goblins have no such taboo obviously, and Rootless are mostly hobos.

I read the bit about the mouth parts hiding four sets of teeth kind of like they're supposed to be retractable. Like cat claws but through the whole length of the "finger". For Mammon they all stick out now.

The hive mind servants only live 20-30 years, but that’s because there was supposed to only be one mind and the individuals were disposable.

So far, it's orange -> Glory, pink/red-> Flame, yellow/gold -> Tower, purple -> Diamond, green -> Beast, but there's no indication that these are fixed and that the demiurges aren't just adjusting their flames to the color palette they've adopted.

I bet Jadis ends up being Blade and Jagganoth, Mind.
