Dark Sun heresy

Dark Sun Heresy: Nok is a source of disinformation about Kalak to the Heroes of Tyr.

@redking

From this thread at Pandius , Kalak is said to have wanted to destroy all of Tyr to fuel his transformation.

Look at how Kalak wanted to sacrifice his whole city to become a full Dragon

Actually, there isn’t a shred of evidence to suggest that Kalak planned to destroy Tyr. Nok was afraid that Kalak was planning to go to the Forest Ridge to drain the forest of energy, which may have been Nok’s paranoia. Nok was highly motivated to get the heroes to assassinate Kalak, and told them that Kalak was planning to destroy the ENTIRE city.

The actual details of Kalak’s plan doesn’t suggest that. 40,000 people packed into the arena to fuel Kalak’s metamorphosis into a fully grown dragon. Besides the slander of Kalak by his enemies, there is no reason to suggest that Kalak would willingly destroy his own city.

There is a lot we don’t know about Nok. All we know is that he wanted Kalak dead and he needed a way to convince not only Agis, Rikus and the rest, but also present a plausible motive for his own involvement (“Kalak will destroy the forest”). Had Nok told the truth (according to this heresy at least) that ONLY the people within the arena would be consumed by Kalak’s magic, would not these ‘heroes’ simply have avoided the arena? To be convinced, they (Agis and company) had to be satisfied that it was a matter of zero sum survival - them or Kalak.
