The Cnaimdubh were thought of as being holy and blessed by the gods, so why were the Kuros so afraid of them at the same time? It sounds like they were almost a little hated.

theshimmeringisles:

MOD: Just because they’re blessed by a god doesn’t mean that the god themselves isn’t feared. Breithonakt will judge the Kuros and bar them from entering The Veil, too, and in his story, Breith ‘betrays’ his own people due to jealousy over not acting on his own powers in time.

And also you have to remember that the last

Cnámhdubh completely lost her mind due to being so closely tied to Breithonakt and his power. The 

Cnámhdubh have a slim chance of being mentally stable, and with such a bad taste left in their mouths from Reothadh and some of the elders living in Kurosia having lived/fled from her slaughter of hundreds of her own kind, the birth of a new black boned Kuros leaves many with mixed feelings. It doesn’t help that Asiirha is huge, and that Kurogh might have spread some false rumors as a kid about him being violent. And to his credit, Maeldun wanted his son to be feared (due to a skewed view of fear=respect) so he didn’t stop those rumors from circulating.
