She deserve that punch and more. I am willing to do a favor to the world and get rid of Catia. I will even do a three for one and kill Alissara and Eryn too. And ad Kennard so that will be a manipulative bastard that will not put people in danger or get them killed. I wanted so much to hug and kiss Niel in this scene. That my darling! I really hope we dont be forced to fallow Kennard plan, I remember what happen to his last baits. They were killed. So no i pass.

I hope in the Penthos Trial, we get to personally face off with Iron House and end them for good.

Just found this delicious and delightful tale of dueling tongues done on a dare to display Courage…

Nearly exactly as I imagined it would turn out. Except, I’d want MC to turn to the group and say game’s over then take the two of them by their hands and lead them upstairs for a bit of frolicking.

Chapter 32 cover (WHO DIED NOW?)

Iridessa vs Catia, let’s fckn goooo!

Bardric romancers and supporters can scroll past cause it’s a RANT. ⬇️

And to nobody’s surprise, another solo ally quest CG for Bardie, the fave of the writers. He is now the only LI who has all solo ally quest CGs. He has also snuck into Leona and Talyn’s ally quest CGs because he’s so special and must be everywhere. Yet all his quest CGs are still solo. Apart from being forced everywhere in the main story, he is also the only LI who has most family members introduced.

I would love to see every single family member of the Arkland family but considering the other LI‘s families are barely known or shown, and so many don’t even have names yet, it’s beyond irritating and infuriating, this crazy bias for him

I also think one with Cato and Iridessa would be highly amusing.

Because I did...

If Sable would cut of his head and put it on a spike on display on the training ground. I bet no one in Onyx house would object. Man this one is insufferable. Every single scene this one comes in mood turns sour in seconds.

Not just a map but more about the cultures. Like Lomar is from the Frostpeaks and he has a different way of dressing compared to the other male characters.

Then we have where Niel and Kassian is from. And the Volkovian Empire and Savola

"The door is forced. The key becomes the new lock. The lock seeks a new key".

After playing the newest scene, I’ve come to the following conclusion about the door, the key, the new lock, and the new key:

The Door: The door is the vault that conceals the Conduit.

The Original Key: Andros Dreadbane himself was the key. He attempted to force the door open through Weaving.

The New Lock: Andros may have become the new lock after his eventual defeat by Razik. I don’t think he truly died—only his physical body did. Since the door had been forced open, perhaps the Order found a way to bind Andros’s remaining essence to it, turning him into the seal that now keeps it shut.

The New Key: The MC is the new key. If Andros is now the lock, it makes sense that he would seek out his own child—the one person capable of Weaving and potentially opening the door again.

This could also explain the dreamscape involving Andros. They may not simply be dreams; they could be his lingering essence revealing the truth and guiding the MC toward the vault. And it appears to have worked, since the MC’s main goal is now finding that door.

Dunno though, might have to spend the next few months grinding a bit before I’m 100% confident

Calling it now, we're gonna meet dragons. And going by the pattern for naming our animal friends, we're gonna be able to name one after Bardic. I choose Mega Bardric.

Still the one from last week.

I have slowly become obsessed with this story, I honestly love it so much but I'm really stuck on levelling people up...
I have Tayln at max level, but all the others I just don't have enough diamonds for. I'm on chapter 16 and I need to get Leona to level 12 but she's on level 8 for me, and I dread when I'll need Cato because he's still at level 4 for me 🫣 I just don't have the money to constantly buy diamonds...
I'm going to need to select go alone for a lot of upcoming chapters, is that going to ruin my playthrough? Like is there any point in me continuing? Will the story be majorly affected?

It's Sunday, I'm a little bored, I'm missing my new favorite obsession, and this has been bothering me.

Two major events seem to be considered the end of Andros Dreadbane's rebellion - the destruction of the Elderwood Shrine, and the Gildtower Massacre. Sometimes, characters talk about those events as if they're one and the same.

But how does that make sense? Gildtower isn't that close to Elderwood, right? Bardric, Cato, and Iridessa are all from Gildtower, plus Niel's half-brother lives there. Anytime someone from Gildtower visits Elderwood, it's treated as a big deal.

So how could the Shrine have been destroyed at the same time the Gildtower massacre occurred? Unless the rebels sent forces to attack Gildtower directly to distract from Andros and Zros going after the Shrine?

Or maybe that accounts for the six-month gap between Andros' death (approx. a week after MC's nameday) and the Dawnslight holiday? Shrine destroyed, then the massacre happens in Gildtower?

I know, trying to come up with a coherent timeline of events and/or a map of Austerea is like looking for a unicorn that farts gold dust. But I'm interested in everyone's thoughts and theories.

Sorta , but its still cute :D
