Neglectful Precursors: Difference between revisions

* The "Great Ones" of the ''[[Belisarius Series]]'' were aware of The "New Gods" tampering with the past, but simply encouraged the crystals to send a single individual back to counter them, and occasionally dropped by to gossip. They clearly had the power to eliminate the Malwa empire (they did destroy the New Gods homeworld) the whole time.

* The Prosecution would like to submit the Valar from ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' as Neglectful Precursors before this court. Evidence is as follows:

** Objection, Your Honour. As demonstrated in the War of Wrath, when the Valar intervene, the amount of power thrown about sinks continents. Their non-intervention was their attempt to avoid becoming [[Abusive Precursors]]. Perhaps they could have chosen better Maiar to incarnate as wizards, but it's not their fault that Saruman turned evil, Radagast spent too much time talking to animals, and Alatar and Pallando vanished.

* Your honor, my clients, the Pak from ''[[Known Space]]'' would like to plead "not guilty", as they had no idea that the Tree-Of-Life root they need to maintain sentience wouldn't grow in soils like Earth's that lack thallium oxide.

* Your honor, the prosecution would also bring suit against the [[Our Zombies Are Different|T'lan Imass]] from the ''[[Malazan Book of the Fallen]]''. Their ritual sealing of [[Our Orcs Are Different|captured Jaghut]] and Forkrul Assail proved ineffective in the long-term as any person with sufficient strength and interest could remove the rock and thus release the trapped being. In addition, their actions directly contributed to the destruction of magic at various locations around the world, which continues to this day.

* Your honor, the prosecution would like to bring suit agains the Heechee of the ''[[Heechee Saga]]'', who are responsible for leaving behind advanced technology when fleeing from the Assassins, which was bound to be found by a younger race and, without proper instructions on the use, would likely end up misusing it to disastrous ends. Furthermore, the continuous use of said technology is what attracted the attention of the Assassins toward the Heechee in the first place, which means that, by leaving such technology for anyone to use, the Heechee have doomed an unfortunate young race (namely, humanity) to extinction.
