Formerly: The Remix DoM Project!?! Now general KF discourse.

I'm pretty sure that the Dark Slayer and Moonlight Sword are so named ambiguously so that they can swing either way. Their only constant is their opposite to each other. I think KF2's story is the classic, things are not really as they seem line. I think Seath is a Dark God and Geara is Light God in KF2 and KF3 (and presumably KF1) ...the whole thing is, Geara is the black dragon (forest dragon) of KF1. The only question is one of colour, like does black = dark, and white = light... I think that is meaningless. But "holy" (goodness) does equal light. You could say that Geara is black because he absorbs light, and Seath reflects (rejects) it. Geara's power goes into the Moonlight, which reflects his light (like the moon) and Seath's dark energy is channeled into the Dark Slayer. I think it's technically possible for the two deities to flip sides though. But that has never happened in the games I think.... or maybe they had in the past. I think most likely the colours don't matter. But I think Geara is always black, and Seath is always white.

PS: I imagine the dark/light elves are a microcosm of this theme. The light elves were probably a very high and mighty oppressive society. Steeped in morality but rotten at the core. Primarily though I think their name just derived from their surface existence. Whereas the dark elves were probably egalitarian, unorganized, but decent to one another as a society... most likely oppressed by the light elves. Again their name comes from living within the island. My memory is muddy, but I think Seath was the light elves icon, and the dark elves revered Geara.

PPS: WRONG THREAD (please don't expect me to stay on topic)
