    Yeah, cause Nasuverse lore is just...damn. Oh yeah, and if FGO is right, fucking Lovecraftian entities like Nyarholetep exist as well, and here I thought the Beasts were bad. Though, we can all agree, the Counter Force is a dick. Here's the vid

    Barely been touching the game sadly. We're in the middle of a house move (luckily still in the same area roughly) so I just don't really have much time to play the game. But yeah, they've got a really easy ability to just draw in whatever the want because Zeltrech...really that's kind of the excuse for everything isn't it? That damn Vampire Wizard is responsible for everything wrong in some way.

    Ah, I follow ref the "intricate reasons he's probably a bit different as a 'Heroic Spirit'" thing, and to be honest I'm not convinced it doesn't work pretty much exactly like that anyway.When we see visions of the past or ancient spirits it's often the case that they look very modern. Yeah, normally it's an asset issue that a millenia-old spirit is wearing exactly the same robe as the mage in the pub, but lore-wise I like to think there's more to it. Like, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt wears that armour because we expect her to, or Feldir the Old looking old to us because we expect it but historically was given that name ironically because as a young man he went grey before his time... That sort of thing. So yeah, I can buy the idea.

    Oh, I've never thought about it, but really that's quite fitting. Another way to examine this is to look at Sheogorath. The Hero of Kvatch is given the title of 'Sheogorath' and because of that he is slowly turned into the Daedric Prince. It's a similar idea, essentially the 'Legend of the Title' overwhelming the 'Legend' itself.

    But Alessia as a male Orc? Tharn would be outraged and immediately rescind your Imperial stipend for even thinking such blasphemous thoughts :p

    Eh, you can never tell with these guys, for all I know Tharn could be really into that sort of thing. All of his over-reactions to other race is just a way to hide his everlasting lust for the Male Orcish body :P But yeah he really would wouldn't he.

    Oh man I didn't even see this until now. These look great! I like the focus on individual characters, could make it a ton of fun to bring to life for players. I'm a sucker for Battlemages so right on man. You've definitely put in good work, which really shows, as a reader. I always appreciate that. Plus you've crafted some good lore to jump into. I love stuff like this. Bravo!
