Somewhere, HOC, I think Fear and his brothers find the bones of old Scabby
Surrounding the bones are thousands of K'Chen Che Malle corpses. Fear tells
his brothers that The K'Chain magic had to do with sound. Some sounds that
mortals could not hear, but it had the ability to separate whatever holds
matter together. By a huge stretch of
imagination I can see how that might help a mountain fly.
The curse where Mother Dark will eat Light thus eliminating Light and Shadow
and eventually dark - killing everything. Way beyond my comprehension!
Did the K'Chaine (forget the spelling) use...

The curse? Thats simple. Mother Dark has been turned into a black hole. Chained in the centre of creation, and everything is circling the drain lol

Thanks, Lisheo, I'll leave it at that.

Judging the fights we like trying to extrapolate US culture from watching bits and peices of the Vietnam War.
Fixed!

HossierDaddy posted a reference in the Tiam's Blood thread that, if read forward further into the book (p 123 TBH, Canadian trade paperback) makes an interesting observation.
Mappo and Icarium have discovered the buried Sky Keep and Icarium has found in that Keep, deep in the lake, a short tail KCCM sitting in a seat within the Keep and he states... This observation would more than suggest that the KCCM (at least the short tails) had the means to operate machinery and thus possess the "opposable thumb" type mechanisms to develop technology and build and operate machines.
Mappo's musings also note comments made by the Nameless Ones, about the origins of the KKCM.
This would certainly seem to support both the "alien" (at least to the Malaz World), and the possibility that the KCCM themselves had the ability to use technology, and develop it themselves, theories put forth in prior posts (yadda, yadda, yadda).
OHA

The beast was reclined, and within reach were levers - it was a master of the mechanism's operation.

An invasion of sorts, according to the Namelss Ones, in the ages before the rise of the First Empire, when the people who would one day found it did little more than wander in small bands - not even tribes, little different, in fact, from mortal Imass. An invasion that, in this region at least, failed. The tales said little of who or what opposed them. Jaghut, perhaps. Or Forkrul Assail, or the Elder Gods themselves.
