Which leads me to my next idea...What if it isn't the land's fertility that's being drained...but that of the Dwarren peoples themselves?

And it's so nice that my...accurate moniker for the first of Simon's pwnings to be has started taking off in popularity :P Possibly. But Megail's conversation with the Tertia worshipper in Eustarin had me reconsidering the stagnation in Arclent after the war. Simon puts this off as everyone getting complacent after, but what if there was some divine element at work? The dwarf says that Tertia has influence over the growth and land, not just dwarves. Ivala's followers can purify corruption a bit, but they don't seem to be able to repair the land leading to Aram. Logically, if you really want to gain power in Aram, you'd start by restoring some farmland if you were capable, since that's more valuable now. I'm suspecting that for natural balance, you'd need Ivala, the elf goddess, and Tertia all working together somehow to fix corrupted areas. I can't remember which NPC says that all races seem to eventually come up with a goddess of magic, but maybe she does exist. That would maybe make 4? Simon's saying the earlier Thenours texts mention 7 gods and 7 goddesses. Lustlord's succubi says that the Lustlord had a harem of goddesses. In any case, corruption would have to be balanced somehow, or you'd have all the current and former lands of the Incubus Kings being forever corrupted or even spreading. Other than on Arclent we haven't really heard of that.

Also yes, I am adopting your term for "The Incubus King" because after Yarra's path it makes things so much easier to explain. I even put it in my walkthrough and updated his page with a note on that. We just see so little of him before the Gathering that even those of us who have been playing this game awhile still read Incubus King and ask "which one?" That'd be like me calling myself "The Male Human".
