It's usually a bad idea to pick a fight with the giant man calmly sharpening his sword while surrounded by a mountain of freshly slain warriors.

It's a fine plan if you're some kind of cursed/undead thing that can keep retrying the battle to get good enough to win. In fact, in that case you usually don't have much of a choice in the matter

It remains to be seen if 2 sword saints have done enough gitting good with their singular fragile lives

Yup, jaggs totally knew Maya and Incubus before they all got their keys.

Dollars to donuts Jaggs doesn't even have his key yet, this is just him being him.

I wonder if all the Demi-urges actually knew each other before becoming keymasters, like they were some sort of homicidal Scooby Doo gang who were paid by Mammon.

It would explain how they managed to make their alliance work, if they swore to it before ‘kill the other one and take it’ was an optimal strategy… but I don’t think it was true of all of them. Since Mottom, Jadis, Solomon David and Mammon all have specific origin stories for how they got their keys that didn’t involve any powerful allies.

Also, I think Jagganoth probably has a key, though it’s possible this is when he was a corpse soldier but before he killed his master and took his key.

Yeah they did
Theyre all veterans of the universal war and theres a page where it says they teamed up with zoss to end it

But the Universal War specifically started around the time when Zoss hosed off and disappeared, as we were told on the literal previous page.

Yeah, my understanding is that they ended the war just by teaming up with each other and being the only group left on the field at that point, so they could just seven v one everyone else left. By then attrition had already taken most out.

I think their point was that Zoss was explicitly not part of the teamup because he started the whole boondoggle by loving off in the first place.

That too.

(I don't think it was actually him vanishing that started it, he just refused to intervene and vanished instead of putting a stop to it. There was a line about him disappearing in the 'early days' of the war)

They were all pretty terrifying at that point - any demiurge still standing had a sizable chunk of keys, and to keep up they’d each have had to wipe out plenty of rivals. But yeah, ironically, what set the Seven apart is then being the demiurges most capable of forming an alliance and carrying it to the end.

Maybe! It's a universe where will can override physics, after all!

IIRC Abbadon also said that our earth doesn't express the full possibilities of human variation. That's why there are purple people sometimes - that's a human ethnicity we just don't happen to have. (Or maybe I'm misremembering and pulling that out of my rear end)
