I think that the Chained God is just an ascendant inhabitant of another planet. Just a god of another planet. Wizards summoned him to destroy the monster that is Kallor. When the wizards tried to tempt the Chained God to theire bidding, the Chained god became curious and was tempted, then he was catched and the wizards cast him down on Jacuruku. He then became cripple and mad - evil (or mabey he was on his homeworld already a terrible dark evil goed). When he was cast on Jacaruku, he was almost destroyed. It took a long while for him to gather al his power again. When he got his power back, he became 'chained' by ascendants and their followers. Chained to whatever. Does anyone know?

He was brought through by sorcerers; the priest of the Boar GOd had a vision of it, I think. IT might have been at the same time he had a vision of the Green giants flying towards the 'Malazan' world through space.

Yeh, I've had that impression too, that the CG dosent use the traditional warrens or warrens at all. Although, its seems as if he has been using Chaos.
And Chaos may not even be a warren.

Or CHaos could simply be way of describing warren/magic that isnt what the people in malaz world traditionally know.

SImply put there is very little little known on his magic as well, he has had some relation to Chaos it seems, also very little on his original whereabouts.

I think that the Crippled God is said to come from another realm outside of the system of the warrens as defined by K'rul...

Interesting point. But it's most probably through his use of Choas.

Whether or not if he actually does there hasnt been a lot indication so far...

When Quick unleashed hell on him in MoI, he didn't seem to absorb it.

Cthulhu, created by H. P. Lovecraft. Fairly famous, I'd say -- an early horror writer, still considered worth reading.

Cthulhu was one of the Old Ones. Immortal -- truly immortal -- and vastly powerful, humans are no more than an annoyance to the Old Ones.

But the relevant part is that they come from Elsewhere. Not of this universe.

The similarity to the Chained One / Fallen God pretty much ends there. Posted Image

Actually I think the Crippled God is the ultimate example of a demon, a powerful being summoned/inveigled from an alien realm by a group of sorcerors Ã¢â‚¬â€œ and with disastrous results.

Some where in MoI, I think in Krul's Conversation with Envy he describes where he comes from

And im pretty sure it was "an Alien realm".

Whether realm means Warren or World or Dimension we cant say.

But what Krul says there is the best you get in terms of where exactly he comes from (the CG that is). In the whole series, Midnight tides and the Bonehunters dosent give us any info on where he came from either.

There is also Heboric's Hulicination (?) on the Jade statues, that I think does give some info on it as well, Offhand I cant think of exactly what its about. I dont thinks its on the Crippled gods original location, more on the Jade Statues homeplace...

Really, like its been said, there hasnt been a lot indication what his magic is at all really.

Well, if u strip down Malazan to its bare roots, its like any other fantasy. Magic VS Anti-Magic. Now I know for a fact, the CG is trying to end magic. Referenced in MoI in that conversation between Rake and Brood, where they discuss him and the possibilities of what might happen if he won. And they said "End of all Magic". So yeah I'm pretty sure CG is out to end magic, wether he himself is anti-magic i'm not sure either.

Think he has any relation to the Jade otherworldly creatures that Hebroic encountered?

how 'bout Chaos=chaos. where as magic is order. keep comming round to that point in all fantasy. chaos (evil) versus order (good).
