Self-Determination

Question: Does the Fate realm trump the other realms? It seems that a realm that has the ability to alter outcomes of other legendary Beings would be pretty terrifying. Wouldn't the Titan avatars and gods seek to eliminate fate all together? Especially our favorite one-eyed Wednesday?

Comprenion is a unique place, no argument there; it's pretty much consensus among our players that it's by far the most frightening Faterealm, and though some of the PCs have gone there in the past, in general they try to avoid it whenever there's even the tiniest sliver of a chance that they could be doing something else instead.

In a sense, it does trump the other realms; Fate still applies to everyone, after all, Titan or not, but when it comes to individual Avatars and actions, the Fate realm does not always get an instant I-Win Button. Whether or not you can change Fate, or at least bend it so that its outcome is more what you want it to be without actually changing its terms, is one of the biggest themes in our games; Fate itself may be untouchable, but its representatives aren't necessarily. Gods and Titans are just as likely to oppose them as to oppose anything else, particularly if they have some control over Fate already (i.e., mages), though, as with any Titanrealm, they might find themselves suffering the consequences in short order. A certain deity is actually marching on Comprenion in one of our games right now, though what they plan to accomplish and how they plan to go about it is still a mystery (and one the PCs should probably get on, stat).

But good heavens, no - nobody is insane enough to try to actually kill the Fates or destroy Comprenion. If killing a Titan Avatar from another realm might permanently blow up some aspect of life in the World, what would killing a Titan Avatar of Comprenion do? Sure, it might theoretically cause everyone to be free of Fate's strictures - but it might also stop anyone from ever using Magic, Mystery or Prophecy again, cause Fateful prophecies to bind even more tightly without moderation or start occurring spontaneously, or even obliterate all of existence without the background of Fate to support it. The gods simply have no idea what would happen if they tried to blow up Comprenion and its representatives (what are they going to do, ask Mystery?), so no one who isn't full-blown insane and desperate is going to try.

Which is not to say that someone (cough, cough, Odin) might not become insanely desperate enough to try it at some point, but it seems likely that the rest of the gods would unite to stop him or her as soon as they realized what was going on. Killing Titans is always Bad with a capital B; messing around with Fate Titans is terrifying.
