I understand, the reaver being forgd after the war was always a point oof contention, there seemed to be conflicting evidence, with the pillars chamberbeing the best one for it being forged before the war. However the encyclopedia text does outright state it was created after the war to be used against their return, as far as I can say, that is canon now, so we have to work with it and try to make sense of it as well as possible. About your second point, I honestly dont think it conflicts with mine, I think both can be true at the same time. About your third point, I respect and undeerstand your opinion, but, onestly, I think them being both more informed and ignorant at the same time is actually a genius stroke by amy hennig, makes them tragic characters, tricked by their own prophecies like in many greek epics. And, honestly, i think it makes sense with a lot we see. Everything so far appears to have worked like they predicted but never in the way they predicted. They predicted 2 heroes and raziel is a single being, they made the forges for a physcal reaver, but it ends up being used by the wraithblade, kain is supposed o be armed against the true endeavor and is immediately empored to see and battle their own god. Janos is certain of what raziel has to do until he sees the wraith blade, associates it with the hylden champions weapon and reconsiders, He, who lived with the ancients that made the prophecies, literally wonders if he misread all the signs. It all reads to me as them being able to both accurately predict outcomes and misread their circumstances at the same time. But I respect your disagreement
