The Glory's light is filtered through Forge, which will be filtered through us. If we use it responsibly, it need not be. Besides, in this race, you can't afford to satisfy everyone. To reach Glory first, some sacrifices have to be made.
Somehow, we quickly moved from distributing occult knowledge to accelerate progress to usurping the power of the Forge.
On the other hand, it's not that I'm against the first or the second, I just urge you not to be mistaken that thousands will not curse us at the end of the road, even if in the end our actions will benefit humanity.
Hmm, it would seem that what does Cauldron have to do with it?
Forge of Days is God-from-Light and has never been human. It is this human perspective that gives us advantage to use our powers with more restraint.
It is unlikely that this example can be indicative. Literally no one can stand up to Crime of the Sky, so the Forge eventually did the right thing.
But unfortunately, no one could predict that the worms would begin to breed on the corpse.
Also the whole point of setting off the atomic bomb, is to advance the Forge, from it currant state to something like Industry or Machining.
...and slow down the rotation of the Earth a little.
Also on the Forge discussion/physics, the laws of physics aren't secondary to the lores they're a part of them and in some ways higher. The T6 Forge Lore is the secret of radioactive decay meaning radioactive decay exists and is higher on the fundamental part of the universe staircase then Forge is. Put another way Forge is co-opting decay.
Not obligatory. In the end, the world is shaped by the disputes of Hour among themselves and not solely by one Forge.
As for the laws of physics, I want to cite one revealing fact. When Sun-in-Splendour was killed, some colors simply disappeared from the world, and they no longer exist.
B: The cities were important because of the fracture, not people. We could just evacuate them and then set off the bomb, killing no one.
This city should exist in all stories. So the evacuation of the population is becoming problematic, to put it mildly.
