I think the second one is right. Titans are obsessed with inmortality (gods).
They want to reach inmortality through "their" knowledge
(technology). And this is what they are trying; will they suceed?
But, I am not sure about equaling catatombs with titanism, if so,
then the forest school is gods-troops:-), isnīt it?. Would you like to
explain it further?

Thats an excelent question, and not only how? but also why?. Any
expert on cosmogonies? There is also a small coment on
Eumeswill, something about the Idasgrill, told by Attila (I canīt
remember it exactly; as Thomas, I havenīt got the book at this
moment).

Un-cover (aletheia) is the "path" of life; the "path" is also the end.
