So this can be a bit of a touchy subject, the idea of "Madmen" as some kind of generalized term encompassing anything and everything from depressed villains , to Doom sewing Merlin, to Tequila Sunset with severe mental and emotional issues.
It's a general term meant to sweep in a lot of ideas for the purpose of this thread that all count one way or another.

So in my case my pick for this is a character that. . . the vast majority of the subreddit has likely never played or heard of.
The character of "The Voices of Nerat" from Tyranny, a game made by Obsidian for Paradox Entertainment, whom shall be referred to as both Voices and Nerat in the shortform here.
So the Voices of Nerat is what is known as a "Archon" in the world of the Tiers, a being possessing of great and terrible magic in the service of the Overlord Kyros. Kyros, who is referred to interchangably by he or she pronouns because no one actually knows what Kyros is in this Bronze Age world, has sent four Archons to conquer the last bit of the known world that remains free of their Dominion. The Tiers.
Cairn and his Earthshakers, Ashe and his Disfavored, The Voices of Nerat and his Scarlet Chorus, and Siren the Archon of Song.
Cairn eventually goes rogue, with the Earthshakers sticking with Ashe and the Disfavored, Siren is stuck with Nerat until you recruit her later on.
And by the time you arrive on the seen the Voices of Nerat and Ashe are butting heads at the start of the final conquests of the region.
This is the Voices of Nerat. A man who is no longer a man, a powerful mage who has devoured the souls of thousands of others, taking their knowledge and memories and personalities as his own, all drowning under the Voice of Nerat.
If you side with Voices you will end up seeing this happen more and more.
As he orders you to use diplomacy and trickery to bring the Tiers under his control, and with every single leader you convince to side with him, being devoured and staked and tortured in front of his throne.
The only exception being the heir of the Kingdom of Stalwart, a literal baby, whom Nerat refuses to harm because children are protected from and by the Scarlet Chorus.
But as he devours these last great personalities more and more of his madness comes to the fore, lashing out at his subordinates, gleefully flipping on a dime from maniacal sarcasm, to bitter whispers of hate and spite towards Ashe and his Iron-Clad Disfavored.
Until eventually he demands, as a show of loyalty, that you sacrifice one of your companions to join the Scarlet Chorus of the Voices of Nerat.
Which results in one of two things, either 1 you lose your companion forever and have to fight a newly empowered Voices, or your companion usurps control of the Voices of Nerat from within and takes control of the Chorus of Souls that makes up the Archon.
This act either destroys or reforms or strengthens the Scarlet Chorus as a whole.
And honestly that's probably for the best.
But how did the Voices of Nerat come into being? How did a mortal man become this Godlike being?
In centuries past in a petty backwater kingdom in a petty backwater of the world, existed a Kingdom hidden in a swamp ruled by House Nerat. When the Overlord Kyros began their conquests and moved towards their Kingdom, rather then fight to the death, the man who would become the Voices of Nerat betrayed his family and kin in a show of fealty and had them all tortured and flayed in the public square and took the information he took and sold it to Kyros.
This act impressed and intrigued the Archon of Misery who took the young Nerat under his wing and brought him back to the Capital. He taught Nerat the secrets of torture, of hurting people, of breaking them, and cutting them deep to the bone without causing a mortal wound.
So reknowned a torturer did he become that whispers and legends began to spread across Kyros's empire, and as those whispers spread so too did rumors that he could devour the souls of those he hurt and captured never to be seen again.
And so. . . he did, as the belief spread far and wide, so too did he change to match them. Not through any conscious act but by the power of belief empowering and changing Nerat into becoming Archon.
A craven prince, turned tortuous artist, to spymaster and master mage, a Genius and Madman in equal helpings.
It also helps that he is one of the best voice acted characters in any game ever with the unique to HIM ONLY ability to speak to you through hypertext dialogue hidden until you the player hover over them (representing his speaking directly to your mind).

Like the entire reason to join the Scarlet Chorus path is JUST to experience more and more of this horrible wonderful Madman.
But that's just my pick, what about the rest of y'all, whom is YOUR favorite madman/madwoman in fiction? Why are they your favorite? What makes them stand out above the rest?

When i scroll about in death mage related sites, i sometimes come across comments that describes vandalieu's empire as a dystopia, but when i look at it i can't seem to understand why they think so, van's empire is what can only be describe as post scarcity due to dungeons, battle maniacs and hot blooded people can go there and kill as many monsters as they want, even those who don't have a job can go foraging and feels safe, either through dk familiar guarding them, explorers that they either share their catch or just hanging out with them, or most importantly the fact that C-class power is the general power of the population, which is a power considered superhuman.
Then there is also the argument that vandalieu is watching all of his people through his dk familiars, like that in 1984, but isn't that like everyday government In real life, but 1984 is worst. So going back to van, van is a god in world where gods is real. Where everyone knows gods can see and here you and your prayers, some answered some not. And considering their world is so deadly, being watch and protected ACTIVELY by someone like vandalieu can only be considered a divine blessing beyond compare and measure.
There's also the argument about his guidance, but, apologies for my personal opinion, i can only compare that to people with ideology with charisma to have a following, like every politicians and extremist and cultist or religion, that difference is guiders have more power and benefits that those people, and considering it's van, the benefits of following him is so huge and good that it's actually worth it, and with the history of guiders being people who also later ascends to godhood, i can only say that vandalieu's empire is not any sort of dystopian empire, and more like the TRUE definition of a theocratic post scarcity empire.
Please correct if my mental corruption jas been out of control in your opinion.

Here I am again, for the last time for a while, bringing you the results of the final portion of the Archanea Ironman Saga. For those who haven't seen my precious posts, the Archanea Ironman Saga is a challenge in which I ironmanned all of Marth's games (FE1, FE3 both books, Shadow Dragon, and New Mystery) in chronological order, but once I use a unit in one game, I cannot use them again in any future playthrough. The idea of this challenge was to actually use some of the nonsense fodder Archanea units these games love to throw at you because its easy to fall into just using the same units over and over again. If you're curious about the previous parts of the challenge or if you want a more in depth overview of the rules, then be sure to check them out here:

SD: https://www.reddit.com/fireemblem/comments/1ceuxhf/archanea_ironman_saga_shadow_dragon_results/
Originally, I had wanted to do this ironman on Maniac, but after failing the ironman on Chapter 3, I decided to restart on Hard in the interest of time. This was also a fresh save, so the male class sets were kept separate. And aside from the English patch, this is an otherwise unmodded version of the game, unlike my SD ironman which was patched to allow for the prologue and gaiden chapters. Now since this is the final part of the challenge, I hope you're ready for the longest unit review in this challenge so far, because I actually played this game how IntSys intended:

1. Marth: I think this Marth turned out better than any other Marth in this challenge, he capped strength, speed, skill, and luck, almost had 55+ HP, and not to mention the bonuses from his Binding Shield; dude was a monster in the late game. Not to mention enemy units actually had axes in this game, so Marth could finally benefit from the weapon triangle. I could throw him into a small group of enemies, and trust he wouldn't die, he was just cracked. Fun fact, he as the first unit to cap a stat, that being speed.
2. My Unit (Kris): My Kris has quite possibly the weirdest journey of any Kris out there. Most Kris's usually pick their starting class and stick with it, or maybe they change into a similar class like starting mercenary before switching to something like Pirate. I decided to start out as a Mercenary for the prologue, and in Chapter 1 I immediately swapped to Dark Mage for the rest of the game. The idea was that I'd have a somewhat tanky unit in the prologue, but I would also have a mage for the early game, and ultimately a Gharnef killer ready at all times. And it turned out quite well, would recommend Dark Mage!Kris, its a really good class. Like most Kris's, once he started going, he just snowballed into my best unit at all times, if a bit fragile. Fun fact, he was one point away from capping magic for 3 levels, but never ended up capping it when he reached 20 promoted, and I hate it.
3. Luke: Luke was useful in the prologue, but was swiftly replaced once better units (Sirius) started showing up. He was alright, and I probably would've kept him around longer if his growths were generous, but alas, he was destined to the bench once I reached Chapter 10. No fun fact because he wasn't around for that long.
4. Rody: I didn't really use Rody in the prologue, so I definitely didn't use him in the main game that much. He felt like an inferior Luke, which is sad on so many levels. So he was benched rather early on, but I don't remember the exact chapter. Fun fact, he was the first unit I willingly benched.
5. Ryan: Ryan was good for the early game, but his speed took a rather dramatic hit, dude at 11 speed at Chapter 14, so he wasn't long for the main team. But before then, he was an excellent team member that could chip dangerous enemies so that others could get the kill, and he made quick work of Dracoknights and Flying Dragons. Fun fact, of the Chapter 1 units, besides Kris, he lasted on the team for the longest, officially hitting the bench on Chapter 14.
6. Cecil: Cecil wasn't used in the prologue, and she ended up dying in Chapter 1. Everyone point and laugh. Had she made it though, I would've turned her into a Pegasus Knight so that I could have 2 fliers for the early game,, but that dream was short lived. Fun fact, she was my only death.
7. Marisha: The single most important unit in this run, and its not even close. In the early game, she was my only healer, and was the sole reason I made it through most chapters. And in the late game, she was my only unit with A rank staves, meaning she was the only one who could use the Fortify staff, which won me the game. Not to mention she's the only one who could use the Hammerne staff. Fun fact, she was my only unit who didn't have a cap stat.
8. Catria: Catria my beloved! In previous parts of this challenge, I made it clear that Draug was my favorite unit in all of Archanea...Catria was a close second, but after this run she might even tie Draug, or even beat him outright. To simply state how cracked my Catria ended up being: she capped strength, speed, skill, luck, and defense. That's 5 stats! Oh, and she A ranked both her weapons. And I made her a Falcon Knight, and I love this class so much more than Dracoknight, if only for the higher speed cap. Once she got the Iote's Shield, she quite literally never had any fear. Fun fact, she had more capped stats than any other unit.
9. Julian: Julian was alright, but I really don't like thieves in this game, if only for their incredibly low strength cap. But, he acted like a budget Swordmaster in combat, and he let me save a bunch of money that otherwise would've been spent on door keys, so he was pretty invaluable. He ended up capping strength, skill, and speed. And he stayed alive long enough to recruit Lena, so I can't complain. Fun fact, he was the last unit to level up in this playthrough, and this challenge as a whole.
10. Ogma: I don't think I can say anything about Ogma that hasn't already been said: He good, really good. he ended up capping strength, skill, speed, and HP, so he was quite unkillable in the late game. While other units have their fancy, heroic weapons like a Gradivus or Falchion, Ogma had a +6 might brave axe and tore through the end game. Fun fact, he was the first unit to promote.
11. Sirius: Like with Ogma, I don't think I can add much to the Sirius discourse, other than the fact that my Sirius was a bit strength screwed in the late game, but the Gradivus's high might made up for it. Once he was recruited, I ended up reclassing him into Dracokight (which is probably why his strength was lower than average) until I recruited Minerva, just to have another flier to pair with Catria, but he reclassed back into Paladin once I had Minerva. Fun fact, his Gradivus is the only special weapon to break.
12. Phina: Listen man, she's a dancer, she never saw combat except in her join chapter. She capped speed and luck, and her strength was almost 20, so there's that. But yeah, 20/10 unit, dancers are stupid good, especially when paired with the Again staff so she didn't need to be near the front lines, only had to dance for Marisha. Fun fact, she saw the least amount of combat.
13. Cain: Cain had an interesting journey. He started out as just a better Luke, but since I already had Sirius, I made a decision many here would call stupid, but I stand by what I did: I turned Cain into a Sniper. I did this since Ryan's low speed was really dragging me down, and I did the math; a promoted Ryan would have lower strength, speed, and defense than Sniper!Cain, and since I wanted to use the Parthia, I locked in. He turned out really good, capping speed and skill, and almost capping strength and defense and since I reclassed him to Sniper instead of Archer, that meant he had C bows instead of E, letting him use killer bows at base. In the final chapter I ended up benching him for another unit, but I really liked how he turned out. Fun fact, he was the last unit to get replaced by another.
14. Minerva: Alright, I'm gonna say it: Minerva wasn't that good in this game, and that's entirely due to Dracoknight's low speed cap. In the late game, she just couldn't double anything, and her strength was quite low, 22 until the stat booster secret shop, and her defense was even lower than Catria's. Part of me really wishes I could reclass her into Falcon Knight, I legitimately think she'd do better in that class. Fun fact, I almost killed her thanks to a mis-input on the final chapter, but I managed to save her.
15. Merric: Was Merric overshadowed by Kris? Yes. Did Merric have a higher staff rank than Kris? Also yes. Merric had B rank staves, letting him use staves like Again and Silence, and the Gharnef map went smoothly because Merric and Marisha could double tap the Again on the same turn. As a combat unit, he was really solid, but his magic stat was almost 5 points lower than Kris's, so Merric was often relegated to staff duty. But he did have higher defense than Kris, 12 compared to Kris's 5. Fun fact, he achieved A rank tomes against Medeus, so the last possible chance he could.
16. Athena: Athena existed. She was a necessary pick in the prologue, and in the main story she was a pretty decent backup unit. I trained her up and promoted her just incase something happened to Ogma or Cain, but she wasn't really needed. Fun fact, she was my only promoted unit that wasn't level 20 unpromoted.
17. Katarina: It might seem excessive to have 4 mage units on the final team, but the extra healing never hurt, and nosferatu tanking isn't as good here as in Fates or Awakening, but its still pretty good. She didn't really stand out much, and really only acted like a bonus healer, or a high damage chip if needed. Fun fact, of my units with capped stats, she had the fewest capped stats with just speed.
18. Nagi: Yup, I benched Cain for Nagi since the Divinestone is busted against Medeus's endless dragon horde. And this was my first time using her in general, so I thought why not? She took down a few of the dragon reinforcements without trouble, and pretty much was the only reason I made it through the final map without a casualty. Fun fact, she was the last unit on the final team to be recruited.

And that's a wrap! I'll give a review about the game first before starting a review on the challenge as a whole. If you read my review on the FE3 parts of the challenge, then you might remember that FE3 in one of my favorite fire emblem games (top 3), so this game has a lot to live up to. To start things off: I hate this game's story simply due to the addition of Kris. So much of FE3's story is rewritten to give Kris the spotlight, ideas or decisions that were originally Marth's or Jagen's, Kris's now. Cool scenes involving Marth or Jagen, Kris's too. And it wouldn't be that bad if Kris was an interesting character, but they're not. In fact, Kris makes Fates' and Engage's worst characters the most well written and nuanced characters in comparison to Kris's schtick of talking about Marth or training for Marth. Kris is a good unit in terms of combat, but character wise they're almost as bland as Byleth. And I don't even hate all of Kris's character; I think Katarina and Kris work really well together as counterparts, and Kris is probably at their best when Katarina is on screen, but its so rare. And that's really my only negative with this game, that and ambush reinforcements, and the changes to the star shards. But the gameplay is pretty solid, it looks much better than Shadow Dragon, and I can see myself picking this up again for something like a PMU or a different challenge. As for the final rankings: A Speed, B Survival, and A Tactics, so pretty good all around.
Now for the challenge as a whole: this was a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it! My only complaint is that I wasn't in a position to record myself, and was relegated to these Reddit review posts. I wanted an excuse to use all the different Archanea units, and I certainly used them, and there were still units I never ended up using, especially in New Mystery! There were a few hiccups, like me stupidly using Wrys in FE1, and using both Boah and Wendell in FE1...a lot of mistakes in FE1. And my FE3 plans went had a few bumps, but I made it out alive. I probably used my units too cautiously, like there was no reason to use both Wolf and Sedgar in Shadow Dragon, so I could've used one earlier, and I probably should rework how thieves work in this challenge since door keys really aren't fun to manage, but as a first attempt, I couldn't complain how things went. Special thanks to everyone who left tips, suggestions, and just took the time to look this over. And this challenge definitely wouldn't be possible without fireemblemwod for the sheer amount of information on that site, this challenge would've looked super different if I didn't have that site. If you do fire emblem challenges, then I highly recommend checking them out, the site's in Spanish, but most pages (mostly the old games) have English translations available.
And that's it, thanks for taking the time to read over my journey on the stupidest challenge I could think of. I probably won't attempt something like this for awhile, this was a lot of fire emblem in such a short amount of time. But I'm not sure what to do as a "second season". Do I go through Marth's games again, only with all the new information and experience I have, or do I play other games? The Tellius duology could work, but I also had an idea like all 3 Fates paths first generation only. But I'm not gonna do anything like that for a long time, so I have a while to think about it. But yeah, that's that! I've been do this challenge off and on for a few months, and it feels pretty good to finally be done. Let me know what you thought, either for the New Mystery portion or of the challenge as a whole, and I highly recommend trying this out for yourself, you might be surprised at which units you end up attached to, because I never thought I'd end up caring for Caesar, but he's certainly shot up my Archanea character list, might've even reached the top 10. So try it out, it's a lot of fun!

To start this I'm probably going to be making a hot take and say, with the introduction of 6th job, Maplestory's "tutorial" really doesn't end till your main hits 260 and obtains 6th job. I know this is a hot take, but with hyper burns coming around the corner, I think new players will want a way to gauge their damage and when they can start looking to clear bosses. I want this to be known that I will be listing a few damage ranges for each boss. Some bosses will not have either the lower bound since its more just something that you end up passing naturally just by training or I haven't really tested it myself or have the solo since either I'm not sure about it or its more that those ranges are so far up there I haven't gotten there myself. Also I will be using b/s for most of the damage requirements. This damage requirement is on a dojo dummy with the boss's stats since its much harder to test damage on the boss itself. Also I'll just assume that these BA's are without gskills and only green pot + fams.
MID GAME BOSSES: DAMIEN, LOTUS, LUCID AND WILL
Normal Lotus and Damien Party: if you can solo vellum then you can party this boss. Solo: About 1b/s on lotus/damien, which realistically will never be a hurdle for your hyper burn. From my personal experience if you can farm in like moonbridge or even esfera you can solo normal lotus and damien. It's more just a sanity check rather than damage.
Hard Lotus and Damien: So technically damien is tankier than lotus, however, due to lotus phasing wasting either time or burst damage its pretty much even, and also p2 damien is just annoying to set up your burst. After some discussion I've come to realize that most min players aren't really going to be worrying about overbursting lotus and the cutscenes actually don't really affect runtime for min solos/parties that much. Also kinda forgot that some classes can't hit damien while he is in the air and also that some classes just lose all their burst if damien tps away. Due to this Damien is actually quite a bit tankier than lotus as well as the fact that he has more base hp than lotus anyways. I'm just going to put hard damien at about 25% tankier for most classes with a few classes being especially disadvantaged in the boss and some being VERY advantaged in the boss. Examples of advantaged classes are DW, WA, NW, Khali, and Adele. Pretty much classes that can still get good damage off when the boss is in the air and also can avoid the balls well. Examples being NW being able to tp across the map after dragging the balls to the corner, WA being able to jail the balls entirely, Khali being able to full combo damien in air, Adele being able to float and do damage to damien while in air and then there's DW. I can say a little more about him because I main DW, but to name a few, great mobility with being able to traverse most of the map by animation canceling your iframe dash with equinox slash (you wont need the iframe its damien) and the combo of using our rush skill with equinox slash to dodge the blue balls in p2. In addition to just being able to full burst damien while he is in the air. Gives DW quite good uptime in the boss. Also for the majority of classes, just upjump atk damien when he is doing balls, you only get like half your atks compared to normal but its extra damage. Disadvantaged classes include pretty much every class that can't hit while mid air. One example being explorer mages being unable to use their main bossing skills while mid air. I/L cant use chain lightning, Bishop cant use angel ray, etc. Min: 4b/s for Lotus and 5b/s for Damien Party: about 12b/s for lotus and 15b/s for Damien. Most parties won't 6 man hard damien and lotus and would rather just duo or trio the boss for higher pitch chance. However, if you do want to run a 25m hard lomien then its probably closer to 6b/s and about 8b/s for Damien Solo: 25b/s for lotus and 30b/s for Damien, This is kinda the point where you want to find a guild with at least 15 crit damage and 15 damage gskills to solo this.
Normal Lucid and Will Real talk, I don't know the requirement for this, its somewhere in between solo nlomien and min hlotus. As for the solo requirement then its something like 15b/s? Is it high? probably, but also remember that you have the 1.5x arcane bonus so realistically it's a lot lower than most ppl expect to solo this. I got some ppl confused about this solo requirement, but to put it out here, the base hp is about 24T which is about 2/3 of hard lotus. but also remember that since you are in the arcane river you should be benefiting from the 1.5x arcane damage bonus on this boss so the "real" req is about 10b/s on lotus which is quite low tbh. Honestly tho if you are able to solo this you should just party hard luwill. Party: If you can solo normal lomien you can party normal luwill Solo: 15b/s
Hard Lucid
Real talk this is the main reason I wanted to talk about this. I see too many players pushing soloing these bosses off when they are WAY overgeared for the boss. I've been told that players are supposed to do fully buffed BA's for Lucid 40s so, I'll just change that rq. MIN: 2.2T in 40s ON ORIGIN BURST. Do this BA with all your buffs so that includes green, red, gskills, etc. Pretty much every buff that will last long enough for you to hit p3 with. So don't include other externals like wh. You can probably clear with just 2.2T on origin, but also test your non origin burst and average it. If your origin and non-origin burst average to about 1.5T or something close that you should be more than fine. Party: 2T in 40s on non-origin burst. This will give you something like a 15m run which is what most ppl are looking for anyways. Solo: 13.2T in 40s on Origin Burst. For this one, I'll say players hit this requirement a LOT earlier than most ppl expect. Just go pop all your 30m buffs and maybe a cider if you end up doing that for your solo and do a 40s burst on a dojo dummy, you will be surprised how quickly you are able to solo lucid. For context, my DW was able to hit this with 21 star hat 19 star top and the rest of his gears 17 stars. And DW really isn't known for their burst. Also I think at the time of my solo I was still unlocking my boosts so it was somewhere between 200-500 fragments in a very accessible point in 6th job.
Hard Will:
Technically the damage requirement is lower than lucid, but most players will be hands gapped for p3. So I'll just leave it at the same requirements as lucid. The real damage test here is if you can get to p3 and web out with a lot of lives. Also I highly recommend running resistance link and if you still need extra damage go get urself a kurr ring for a 9s iframe when you web out. If you play it right you should be able to get 4 bursts off in p3 will. Which if you are hitting the 13.2T req on lucid is more than enough to kill p3 will. The rest of the boss is pretty chill as long as you have some form of an hp fam for p2. Or you can just play safe for the start of p2 and generate some moonlight then fight normally since as long as your dodging the majority of will's attacks and not tanking a ton of legs you should have more than enough moonlight to stay healthy in p2. Also for the soloers out there learn where the safe spot is for p3.
Hard Gloom: About the same requirement as lucid and will. The boss isn't tankier than the other two by much. For burst classes the requirement for this boss is about the same as luwill, for more DPM classes its slightly higher at 9-10T for solo and min is about 1.7T in 40s and party is prob around 2.5T for a min clear. Min: 1.7-2T in 40s Party: 2.5T in 40s Solo: 10T in 40s
Hard Vhilla and HDarknell These bosses are where the game really starts to pick up. Realistically most players won't try to min clear this anyways, but here are the recommended damages for these bosses. Min Party: 20b/s Party Requirement: 35b/s for like a 15m run Solo: 100b/s
Guardian Slime: I kinda forgot about this boss. Sorry! The main issue with this boss is that its total HP varies depending on how strong you are since it heals every minute or 30s or something like that. It also favors condensed burst classes and 3 minute classes quite a bit due to the nature of how its test works. As such, the requirement is weird to give. Normal: 5T hp and heals 1% every 1 minute Party: If you can solo normal lomien you can party this boss. Solo: 4-5b/s If your class is a burst class then its on the lower end of that range and if your class is dpm then it would be on the higher end of that range. Also being a 2m vs 3m also changes ur min req with 3m being lower than 2m due to the nature of test.
Chaos: 90T HP and Heals 1% every 30s Someone complained that the requirement was too low, so I'll put in the math. CSlime has 90T HP, in a 25m run it will heal 50%. Naturally you are doing 85% of ur damage to the boss at all times (they changed it to 85% during new age) except for groggy. As such, (90*1.5)/.85 = 158.82T effective HP in a 25m run. Which means that you gotta be doing a total of 106b/s effective damage in boss. On burst your effective damage increases by 45% going from 85% fd to 120% fd. So classes that get most of their damage out in 15s are doing a lot more effective damage than other classes that are doing DPM. Party: 15-20b/s Its about as tanky as vhilla is for a 25m run. Although the min is technically lower, you are not benefiting from the 1.5x arcane river bonus. Solo: 90-100b/s Again this range really depends on your class, whether ur 2m or 3m and ur uptime. But yeah again about as tanky as vhilla. TBH the req is probably a little lower, but due to the reduced damage when not on burst its really tankier than most ppl expect it to be. Its effective HP on a 25m run is 135T.
Black Mage: Welcome to Late Game Okay here I'm probably going to be flamed but that's fine. Most players will not want to do a TRUE min clear, most players are adamant that the min for this is 60b/s in BM. However, I'll be the one to bare good news if you REALLY want to clear BM as soon as possible, the actual true min clear is 35b/s. You heard it here. 35b/s for a 50m run. You are probably never going to find a party that is willing to do that, but if you and your friends are down then go for it. Also note that this is 35b/s on a BM dummy so you lose that juicy 1.5x multiplier (unless on event) and also probably are going to be losing damage from level reduction since if you are min clearing then i doubt you are 280 for max level bonus. Min: 35b/s Have fun in p1 :) Party: 60b/s Solo: 200b/s this is pretty widely accepted that BM solo is about 200b/s. That being said, if you can 1 burst p1, then you are probably going to be able to solo the boss, most players (including myself) started attempting solos when they could 1 burst p1.
GRANDIS: Where are the dragon bosses T^T I thought this was the land of dragons
Normal Seren: Although this boss seems to have only a bit more HP than vhilla, its actually a lot tankier than vhilla. The reason being is its DAWN PHASE. Pretty much at the end of every cycle in p2 seren, there is a dawn phase. In this phase seren gains a shield starting at 10(?) percent and increases whenever anyone in your party gets hit during the phase. Usually most inexperienced parties will be healing around 20-30% during this phase, and more experienced parties try to keep it below 20%. Truthfully speaking I don't think this boss is worth min clearing, but once you start do BM I would look into this. I'm not going to give this a min or party b/s since I was really over damaged when I started and based on my calcs its like lower than vhilla, but also really depends on if you can do more than 2 cycles or not. Ah fuck it, I'll just put a 2 cycle as min req for party. Party : 60b/s for a 2 cycle Solo: Go to hard seren.
Hard Seren:
If you have a group of friends from BM or even earlier, I highly recommend that you start progressing in these bosses with a voice chat, the boss becomes SO much easier and dawn doesn't destroy your progression if you do. Also I've seen some sheets floating around with some interesting information on it. A lot of sheets say that 160b/s is min for a 2 cycle for hard seren. I'm here to announce that it is COMPLETELY CAP. Also realistically if you are doing more than 2 cycles you are a maniac, but I'll put it here for the crazy ppl out there. Also funny the longer you go in seren the "harder" the boss gets as she gets more dawn phases and ends up healing more than if you were able to clear earlier. But if you are taking more than 2.5 cycles then your party doesn't have enough damage as the boss's dawn might just out heal your damage. Also note that you WILL NOT be doing damage during dawn, so if you ever hit dawn you just straight heal the boss for at least 10% Min: 100b/s for a 2 cycle Party: 160b/s Solo: 400b/s I don't know anyone that can solo this shit LOL Just watched my bishop friend solo at 400b/s in a 3 cycle hseren. Have fun!
Easy Kalos Real talk, I would make your party with supports in mind. Every support is going to reduce the party requirement by a LOT. Example being Bishops drop this requirement by pretty much half. Other supports like BaM, BW, DW, Mech, Kanna, etc. will also decrease your party requirement by a lot. Party: 11T in 35s. Solo: CBA, by the time your strong enough to solo this you might as well do nkalos.
To all the end gamers out there if I made a mistake just LMK. For the most part this should be accurate. For the ppl looking to progress, good luck out there and I wish you the best of luck!
EDIT: I've been told that rather than guestimating your damage on lucid its better to just do a full buffed 40s BA for lucid and test ur dps that way.
Edit 2: I've been too spoiled with my own dmg for lotus and damien so after some discussion about it I'm altering the min reqs for the bosses so that damien is about 25% tankier due to how often the boss just decides to tp away from you, stay in the air, or blue balls in p2. Also forgot about the guardian angel slime so I added that

Writer's Note: Meant to post last week. But work got in the way. Anyways. Joey continues to figure stuff out. And of course there's spy stuff. Always.
Enjoy.
PS: Imagine Cado looking like Timothy Spall. As usual, I HAVE SPOKEN!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey didn't leave the room until the next day, and late into it at that.
When he did Nesvee was gone, and Ekron was deep into a book about divine magic that he'd pulled from his main library.
"Are you feeling better Mister Choi?" He asked as he looked over the book on its stand.
Joey was still actively trying to draw in magic, which caused Ekron to cock an eyebrow. He'd sensed the young man siphoning magic most of the night. Joey didn't want to admit it, but he'd forgone not only dinner but sleep as well in pursuit of that first lesson he'd learned.
"No." he said as he stared at Ekron's chin. A trick his therapist on Earth had taught him to help him look people in the face when he needed to. "Do you have a restroom?"
Ekron pointed at the stairs leading to the second floor. "Third on the right." He said.
When he came back down some time later, he'd washed his face and run some water through his hair. Not a shower, but an improvement nonetheless.
"So." He said as he sat down some distance away. "Who were those people?"
Nesvee was almost back to the old mage's lab when Morris Kestin harangued her.
"You there!" He half yelled as she carried the basket of groceries she'd gathered. The sudden noise almost made her reach for her sword. "Young miss." He called as he jogged up to her.
"You've got a lot of nerve." She said as she simply walked faster. The lab was only a few blocks away now. "All that fuss you started yesterday."
"Well it's not my fault." The slap dash sword mage, as Ekron had referred to him later, said as he took up step beside her. "Not every day a messenger shows up in a city." He leaned in conspiratorially. "Specially with how quiet all the holy-folk say the gods have been lately." He said with a waggle of the fingers toward the sky.
"He's not a messenger." She said. Ekron had told her to tell the truth about that if anyone recognized her from yesterday. "High priestess of Life says so."
"Oh. Well." He huffed. "If SHE says so than I guess that's how it is."
"Not my place to say otherwise." She said, interrupting him before he could say whatever he'd been about to say about the holy woman. "Just a caravan guard who shoulda stayed with the caravan."
"Ah a wanderer." He said, not being thrown off by the redirection in the slightest. "I myself am a wanderer. I'm only in this city because I have a project coming to fruition. So you came along with Ekkie and that odd boy. Did he cause enough hassle that a guard was necessary?"
She looked at him with annoyance. She wasn't dumb enough to fall for this backwards form of interrogation. She'd seen it used before. And by people much better, and much less obvious, than this man. Hells, she didn't even correct him about calling Joseph a boy. He was twenty five years old, and last time she checked that made someone an adult. Though, in fairness, Kestin was probably close to twice either of their ages.
Instead she simply walked faster. She could see the upper floor of Ekron's lab now, which consisted of a stellar observatory and a botanical garden that he cultivated carefully.
"So miss caravan guard." He said mischievously as he caught back up. "What would you say to earning a bit more coin for.... information?" He asked as he made several golden coins appear in his hand. Not with magic, but with simple showmanship. The kind a card cheat would use.
She paused, though only for a step. She was only still here because Ekron was paying her. She couldn't deny the need for more gold.
"What is it you're after?" She asked, though she didn't accept the offered coins. Not yet anyways. Not until she knew his objective.
He told her.
"So your dueling buddy is paying me a gold a day just to keep him informed about Joseph's status." Nesvee said twenty minutes later as she walking in the door. The small broach under her cloak flared as it allowed her through Ekron's lab defenses. "I say we use that to mess with him."
She paused as she saw the two of them.
Joey was laying on a table. Or, more accurately, he was hovering several inches ABOVE a table. Ekron was currently passing a massive device past him, with one part going over the other part under him. It glowed with a bright, slightly yellowish, light near where his hands were controlling it.
Joey meanwhile was busy focusing on drawing in more power. Or at least that's what Ekron had told her he was doing the night before. She didn't know much about magic, but she couldn't deny that as the previous day had been going on she had begun to feel lethargic. The old mage had told her he would warn the young man to use caution, since he was the cause of that.
She could feel that same draining feeling now, deep within her. Though it felt less intense despite how close she was to him. But being closer also meant that she COULD recognize it as originating from him. She wondered if Ekron felt it too. Or if maybe, as a high level magic user, he had some kind of defense against it.
"That would be entertaining." Ekron said distractedly. "You should see if he'll up it to two gold."
"What.... are you doing?" She asked.
"Attempting to overfill a cup." Ekron replied.
"I'm just doing what I was told." Joey replied. "I think."
"That advice doesn't even make sense." Ekron countered.
"Anyone care to explain?" She asked as she set the basket full of groceries on the nearby table.
Joey obliged her, telling her about the implied message the High Priestess had given him. He left out the parts that didn't make sense to him, like how the priestess had called him Jojo, and simplified the concept of Pascal's Law. It turned out that in this world it was known as Bogstroff's Theory of Unyielding Volumes, or Bog's rule.
Oddly, as someone who's knowledge of magic only extended as far as knowing basic healing spells and how to start a fire, Nesvee was actually the one who came up with the best plan.
"So..." She said after hearing both of them explain the situation, and the message. "You're like an overfilled barrel? But filled with the wrong liquid. Or... needing more liquid? Bog's rule is a weird message."
"I think that was the gist of it." Joey said. He was momentarily distracted by Ekron clamping something around his ankle. "Ow." He complained.
"So..... why not just empty the barrel?" She followed up.
"Because Bog's law implies that we need to move this," Ekron said with a wave at Joey's still levitating form. "by introducing more magic."
"Or," She said uncertainly. "it could also mean that you're trying to put stuff somewhere that it won't fit. I mean... you just explained that it's 'Bog's theory of UNYIELDING... volumes'." She looked at Joey as he continued trying to draw in energy. "You're assuming you need to add more to move what he has out of the way. But maybe she was trying to say that THAT magic energy WON'T get out of the way."
Joey's mouth pursed and his eyebrows furrowed as he considered that. It was true that they HAD assumed as much. Ekron raised a finger to try to argue. But the old mage stopped as he considered that maybe she was right.
"Besides." She continued. "Last time I checked, if you try filling something that's already full it just spills over. And if you force it well... I've seen what happens when a bottomless bag gets overfilled and it isn't pretty."
"You can overfill a bottomless bag?" Joey asked in horror. "What happens?"
"Nothing pleasant." Ekron muttered. "I think she's right." He said as his eyes darted back and forth in thought. Something oddly similar to how Joey's eyes moved whenever he got too excited and explained something. "She is right. We don't need you to gather power.... we need you to USE power. Burn up all this divine magic until it runs out."
He was moving now. Not bothering to turn off the table's levitation enchantment, or take any of the examination devices from where he'd set them, including the one wrapped around Joey's ankle.
"Where's he going?" She asked.
"I... don't know?" Joey said as he struggled to move. "Hey! Ekron!?! Maybe let me down first?"
"Holy magic." They heard him mutter from the other room as he removed books from a shelf and studied them before placing them back. Even in a studious rush the mage was careful to put things back where they belonged. Joey was fairly certain he had some low level O.C.D. or something similar. "Not healing magic. Holy magic. Not the same. Divine magic. What uses divine magic?"
While Joey watched the doorway, and listened to the old mage search for... whatever he was searching for. Nesvee moved to the side of the table Ekron had been at.
Joey slammed into the table, jolting his head as the lower tines of his antlers smacked the edge of it and drove a spike of pain into his skull. The various tools and instruments clattered as he scattered them. One of them was digging into his ribs annoyingly.
"OW!" He exclaimed at the sudden shock of the impact.
"Shit. Sorry." She replied. She pointed at the side of the table. "Didn't know it would drop you like that."
Joey sat up, rubbing at the side of his head where the antlers were rooted. "Ooooow." He said before reaching down to make sure that whatever he'd landed on hadn't hurt him too. But it was just some kind of block with a crystal in it, nothing sharp.
He rolled off the table and onto his feet, noticing with some small bit of joy that she'd come around to give him a steadying hand as he kept rubbing at his head. Just as he stood up fully, Ekron reappeared. His face was somehow both happy and upset.
"Dammit." He said as he scanned the pages he'd been looking at.
"What?" Joey asked.
He tottered back and forth for a moment as he kept reading.
"I think we have to deal with Lady Natchia again." He said, annoyance evident.
"Why?" Joey asked. "She specifically said she wasn't allowed to say any more."
Instead of answering he handed the book to Joey and stabbed a finger at a specific paragraph. Joey pulled the book closer and read the somewhat scrawly handwriting of the ancient book.

The most common usage of so-called GODLY magic is in the everyday performance of blessings, sanctifications, marriage proofs, and lesser miracles. No mere holy person may perform these acts, as divine magic is sparse and difficult to channel. Even a holy mage of the highest order may only be capable of lesser divine magics for very many years unless they can earn the favor of their chosen deity.
Even the highest of divine casters may never perform a true miracle in their entire lives. And even those are typically minimal in nature, and usually leave them magically exhausted.

"I have to perform miracles?" Joey asked in disbelief. "How do I even do that?"
Ekron held his hands up in an "I don't know" gesture.
"That's why I said we need to speak to Lady Natchia." He reiterated.
Joey put on an expression of mild anger. "I don't like her." He said quietly to himself.
Lord Tobin Mattis was just finishing up with his quarterly trade updates when Cado walked in through his office door.
Cado was an odd one amongst his Cobalt Legion. He was the Commander of the Observer division. There was no point in denying that the observers were effectively just city ordained spies. Hells, that much was obvious from the name. But they were a necessary evil. Privacy was all well and good, but in a city full of mages secrets could be dangerous, and frequently were.
But being a spy wasn't what made Cado odd.
If anything it was the fact that he didn't look or act like a spy.
Most observers would appear behind him, or emerge from a shadow or from behind one of his numerous decorations. They'd use magic and the enchantments of their enchanted gear to simply show up unexpectedly. So unexpectedly that Mattis had stopped being surprised by it years ago. In fact he enjoyed when they got flustered by his lack of surprise. Would even toss things, a coin or pen or something usually, at them before they'd revealed themselves. It was amusing, AND kept them on their toes.
Not Cado though. The middle-aged, seemingly pudgy, balding man simply opened his door and walked in. He didn't knock like most of his visitors. Didn't announce himself.
But he also didn't alert the two guards at the end of the passage outside. Nor did he set off any of the defensive magics inlaid in that same passage. Which meant that he DID use his spy-craft skills to bypass them both.
That skillset, coupled with his remarkable intelligence and oddly ill-fitting appearance, were why he was the Commander of the Observer division. He was the opposite of showy or bold. In fact, Mattis knew that most people tended not to notice him simply because of his appearance. He also knew that Cado cultivated that appearance specifically for that reason.
But that didn't matter right now.
"So you want me to keep an eye on this 'NOT-messenger' I presume." Cado asked instead of greeting his lord.
"I do." Mattis confirmed as he moved the trade reports aside in favor of a more detailed update on one of the projects he had a personal interest. A new type of large firearm that might make for a decent addition to city defenses. This one would be wall mounted if it worked. "As well as the high priestess of Life." He added as he studied the results in the report.
"That so-called bombardment cannon," Cado said with a finger pointed at the folder Mattis was holding. "has a tendency to to explode if loaded incorrectly." He grinned as he saw Mattis cock an annoyed eyebrow at him. "Old Master Gordon hasn't included that bit. In fairness though; it's mostly because he insists on loading the shells himself and his hands shake. A younger, more controlled, loader should be capable of more consistent rounds."
Mattis sighed as he tossed the folder aside, leaned back a bit, and crossed his hands over his beer gut.
"That young man matches the description of a mysterious arrival from Tallowsport." He said flatly. "He is, according the high priestess, NOT a messenger. But he also bares all the telltale signs OF a messenger. And she was lying. Maybe not fully. But at least a little bit."
Cado nodded. They both knew that he already knew that.
"Went by the name Roronoa Zoro when he signed up for a caravan to Petravus." Cado said as he finally sat opposite of Mattis. "Real name Joseph Choi. Just like the missing little brother of Petravus's missing Hero, James Choi."
That, admittedly, WAS news to Mattis. He hadn't gotten the young man's full name at the time. Only the first name of Joseph. Admittedly that was an odd name. But then again, most names were in this city.
"Yeah." Cado said, beating to the punch. "Big riot flock like that happens about a supposed messenger and you can't help but dig a bit. Course you already know that. You paid him a visit with the priestess and all."
"Is he..." Mattis began. "Related to their hero?"
Cado shrugged. "That bit of information is still uncertain." He admitted. "All the confirmed intelligence we have pertains to the Hero himself. And his widow of course, being a princess and general and all. But his mother and brother are footnotes in our files, not actual files. I've already sent requests for details. But..." He trailed off.
"But what Cado?" Mattis said with mild annoyance.
Cado shrugged again.
"Hero and his little brother disappear?... Taking the big bad scary blight with em presumably. No sight or sound or so much as a trace of either of em left after? Then almost six years later a man with the same exact name, and who looks pretty damn brotherly to our images of the hero -albeit with antlers. Shows up -in a strange fashion no less- with weird godly magic inside him?" He tilts to the side and holds his hand out to gesture for Mattis to draw his own conclusions.
Mattis nods as the implication sinks in. "Ah." He says simply. "That is... not good."
"Like I said." Cado reminds him. "Already got messages sent to get more information on this 'Joseph Choi' from Petravus. They got that statue they made of him in the capital, imagine that ought to help a bit. But we'll see. And I already have team three following all three of them here in our good city. And you know we already have Natchia under our eyes."
The old spymaster stands to leave, knowing that he's already preemptively followed his lord's orders.
"I'll keep you updated m'lord." He says as he grips the door. He was never one for waiting to be dismissed.
"Cado." Mattis interrupted the attempted exit. Cado turns around curiously. "Don't let word of this out of the city."
Cado shrugs... again. "Only people that know are you, me and mine, the priestess, and those three." He replied. "And they don't seem eager to let anyone outside of that know. So... I don't EXPECT... it to."
"And I'm saying don't LET... it." Mattis replied.
Cado looks at him for a moment, studying his face to discern the meaning. But, they've worked together for nearly twenty years by now. And also, it's fairly obvious.
"Understood my lord." Cado replies before stepping through the door, closing it, and doing whatever he does to ensure that later, when Mattis asks, his guards won't have ever heard or seen him enter or leave.
Mattis sits at his desk, arms still crossed over his stomach, for several long minutes as he considers this unexpected news. He knew the young man, apparently Joseph Choi, was going to be a problem given the current state of all the holy people of the world.
But this new information makes all of it much more... sticky... is the word his mind ultimately settles on.
"Shit." He says finally.
But he has no time to "stick" on one subject. He's the lord of a city full of mages, holy people, maniacs, and inventors. Many of whom are all of those at once.
He picks up the next report and begins reading about an attempt to copy Vatrian air ships.
But no matter what he does, Joseph Choi and his potential Petravian connection, linger in his mind.

Joey slammed into the table, jolting his head as the lower tines of his antlers smacked the edge of it and drove a spike of pain into his skull. The various tools and instruments clattered as he scattered them. One of them was digging into his ribs annoyingly.
"OW!" He exclaimed at the sudden shock of the impact.
"Shit. Sorry." She replied. She pointed at the side of the table. "Didn't know it would drop you like that."
Joey sat up, rubbing at the side of his head where the antlers were rooted. "Ooooow." He said before reaching down to make sure that whatever he'd landed on hadn't hurt him too. But it was just some kind of block with a crystal in it, nothing sharp.
He rolled off the table and onto his feet, noticing with some small bit of joy that she'd come around to give him a steadying hand as he kept rubbing at his head. Just as he stood up fully, Ekron reappeared. His face was somehow both happy and upset.
"Dammit." He said as he scanned the pages he'd been looking at.
"What?" Joey asked.
He tottered back and forth for a moment as he kept reading.
"I think we have to deal with Lady Natchia again." He said, annoyance evident.
"Why?" Joey asked. "She specifically said she wasn't allowed to say any more."
Instead of answering he handed the book to Joey and stabbed a finger at a specific paragraph. Joey pulled the book closer and read the somewhat scrawly handwriting of the ancient book.

The most common usage of so-called GODLY magic is in the everyday performance of blessings, sanctifications, marriage proofs, and lesser miracles. No mere holy person may perform these acts, as divine magic is sparse and difficult to channel. Even a holy mage of the highest order may only be capable of lesser divine magics for very many years unless they can earn the favor of their chosen deity.

"I have to perform miracles?" Joey asked in disbelief. "How do I even do that?"
Ekron held his hands up in an "I don't know" gesture.
"That's why I said we need to speak to Lady Natchia." He reiterated.
Joey put on an expression of mild anger. "I don't like her." He said quietly to himself.
Lord Tobin Mattis was just finishing up with his quarterly trade updates when Cado walked in through his office door.
Cado was an odd one amongst his Cobalt Legion. He was the Commander of the Observer division. There was no point in denying that the observers were effectively just city ordained spies. Hells, that much was obvious from the name. But they were a necessary evil. Privacy was all well and good, but in a city full of mages secrets could be dangerous, and frequently were.
But being a spy wasn't what made Cado odd.
If anything it was the fact that he didn't look or act like a spy.
Most observers would appear behind him, or emerge from a shadow or from behind one of his numerous decorations. They'd use magic and the enchantments of their enchanted gear to simply show up unexpectedly. So unexpectedly that Mattis had stopped being surprised by it years ago. In fact he enjoyed when they got flustered by his lack of surprise. Would even toss things, a coin or pen or something usually, at them before they'd revealed themselves. It was amusing, AND kept them on their toes.
Not Cado though. The middle-aged, seemingly pudgy, balding man simply opened his door and walked in. He didn't knock like most of his visitors. Didn't announce himself.
But he also didn't alert the two guards at the end of the passage outside. Nor did he set off any of the defensive magics inlaid in that same passage. Which meant that he DID use his spy-craft skills to bypass them both.
That skillset, coupled with his remarkable intelligence and oddly ill-fitting appearance, were why he was the Commander of the Observer division. He was the opposite of showy or bold. In fact, Mattis knew that most people tended not to notice him simply because of his appearance. He also knew that Cado cultivated that appearance specifically for that reason.
But that didn't matter right now.
"So you want me to keep an eye on this 'NOT-messenger' I presume." Cado asked instead of greeting his lord.
"I do." Mattis confirmed as he moved the trade reports aside in favor of a more detailed update on one of the projects he had a personal interest. A new type of large firearm that might make for a decent addition to city defenses. This one would be wall mounted if it worked. "As well as the high priestess of Life." He added as he studied the results in the report.
"That so-called bombardment cannon," Cado said with a finger pointed at the folder Mattis was holding. "has a tendency to to explode if loaded incorrectly." He grinned as he saw Mattis cock an annoyed eyebrow at him. "Old Master Gordon hasn't included that bit. In fairness though; it's mostly because he insists on loading the shells himself and his hands shake. A younger, more controlled, loader should be capable of more consistent rounds."
Mattis sighed as he tossed the folder aside, leaned back a bit, and crossed his hands over his beer gut.
"That young man matches the description of a mysterious arrival from Tallowsport." He said flatly. "He is, according the high priestess, NOT a messenger. But he also bares all the telltale signs OF a messenger. And she was lying. Maybe not fully. But at least a little bit."
Cado nodded. They both knew that he already knew that.
"Went by the name Roronoa Zoro when he signed up for a caravan to Petravus." Cado said as he finally sat opposite of Mattis. "Real name Joseph Choi. Just like the missing little brother of Petravus's missing Hero, James Choi."
That, admittedly, WAS news to Mattis. He hadn't gotten the young man's full name at the time. Only the first name of Joseph. Admittedly that was an odd name. But then again, most names were in this city.
"Yeah." Cado said, beating to the punch. "Big riot flock like that happens about a supposed messenger and you can't help but dig a bit. Course you already know that. You paid him a visit with the priestess and all."
"Is he..." Mattis began. "Related to their hero?"
Cado shrugged. "That bit of information is still uncertain." He admitted. "All the confirmed intelligence we have pertains to the Hero himself. And his widow of course, being a princess and general and all. But his mother and brother are footnotes in our files, not actual files. I've already sent requests for details. But..." He trailed off.
"But what Cado?" Mattis said with mild annoyance.
Cado shrugged again.
"Hero and his little brother disappear?... Taking the big bad scary blight with em presumably. No sight or sound or so much as a trace of either of em left after? Then almost six years later a man with the same exact name, and who looks pretty damn brotherly to our images of the hero -albeit with antlers. Shows up -in a strange fashion no less- with weird godly magic inside him?" He tilts to the side and holds his hand out to gesture for Mattis to draw his own conclusions.
Mattis nods as the implication sinks in. "Ah." He says simply. "That is... not good."
"Like I said." Cado reminds him. "Already got messages sent to get more information on this 'Joseph Choi' from Petravus. They got that statue they made of him in the capital, imagine that ought to help a bit. But we'll see. And I already have team three following all three of them here in our good city. And you know we already have Natchia under our eyes."
The old spymaster stands to leave, knowing that he's already preemptively followed his lord's orders.
"I'll keep you updated m'lord." He says as he grips the door. He was never one for waiting to be dismissed.
"Cado." Mattis interrupted the attempted exit. Cado turns around curiously. "Don't let word of this out of the city."
Cado shrugs... again. "Only people that know are you, me and mine, the priestess, and those three." He replied. "And they don't seem eager to let anyone outside of that know. So... I don't EXPECT... it to."
"And I'm saying don't LET... it." Mattis replied.
Cado looks at him for a moment, studying his face to discern the meaning. But, they've worked together for nearly twenty years by now. And also, it's fairly obvious.
"Understood my lord." Cado replies before stepping through the door, closing it, and doing whatever he does to ensure that later, when Mattis asks, his guards won't have ever heard or seen him enter or leave.
Mattis sits at his desk, arms still crossed over his stomach, for several long minutes as he considers this unexpected news. He knew the young man, apparently Joseph Choi, was going to be a problem given the current state of all the holy people of the world.
But this new information makes all of it much more... sticky... is the word his mind ultimately settles on.
"Shit." He says finally.
But he has no time to "stick" on one subject. He's the lord of a city full of mages, holy people, maniacs, and inventors. Many of whom are all of those at once.
He picks up the next report and begins reading about an attempt to copy Vatrian air ships.
But no matter what he does, Joseph Choi and his potential Petravian connection, linger in his mind.
[Next]

I’m racking my brain here! I read this book when I was a kid in grade school, around the same time I read Maniac Magee if that means anything?
I remember in this story there being a young boy who carries a suitcase everywhere with him and maybe he’s trying to get back to his family? Maybe he left home? I can’t remember but I remember the suitcase having heirlooms inside like a photo or something. The boy I think was described as having a “peanut” shaped head by a few of the other characters? He hitchhiked with a doctor who was carrying human blood in a medical cooler, and the boy thought he must be a vampire. I seem to remember the man offering him a bologna sandwich and cherry coke which he worries at first is blood?
I believe it’s a story set in old America, not quite the Wild West but perhaps not long after?
This is all really random but I remember it being a good book that I want to revisit despite not remembering much about it. I’m also writing a novel myself and I would like to study this one as I believe it will be told in a similar style. Thanks to anyone who can help me with this one!!!

THIS POST WILL SPOIL A LOT OF THE STORIES, IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED TO THE END AND WANT TO EXPERIENCE IT FIRST HAND, STOP AND TURN BACK!!! I WILL SPOIL THE BEGINNING, THE MIDDLE, THE END, THE EVERYTHING!

Now that I've finished pretty much all I wanted to do, it's about time I do a review of the game, what I like to see, what I don't like, everything of that sort.
About me, I'm just one of the random backer for the game, you may or may not have seen me die in battle a few times(the name of soldiers that died in battles are all backer names), and I've recently done pretty much all I wanted to do in the game save for more lore digging(and maybe starting a non NG+ file to feel the game from the beginning again). That was 135 hours of gameplay, played the game both blind and complete, 52 floors of Hero's Trial Endless cleared, optimized my favorite party members. I still missed a few optionals, like the theatre plays I couldn't be bothered to save scum and a lot of the hot spring dialogues, but I feel satisfied. You might agree with my review, or you don't, your opinion, my opinion. Let's get to it right away.

Short review

The game is superb. Don't take anything negative in this review as me shitting on the game, I criticize it because I care and wish the game the best.
The pace isn't too bad, first playthrough will take reasonably long, the game usually have you gather allies, advance the plot, gather more allies, and so on, but the game is actually just 3-4 hours long if you skip all cutscene and ally gathering section(try doing NG+ with allies carried over, the story is actually really short). I don't feel mad about it, I enjoyed the story for what it is, and the ally gathering section lets me do whatever I want, it's almost an open world free roam.
I've seen reviews about how the translation is not faithful, but as far as I can see, the story does not derail from the original plot. Yes, some character personalities changed a bit, but that'll always be a localization thing--If you speak two very different languages, you'll know. Some tropes simply do not exist in other languages, and some sentences simply do not translate at all.
Lian, for example, upon meeting Nowa, immediately forces him to call her senpai and addressing him with -kun while joining the watch before him by like, 2 days, not really learning a single damn thing during that period, actually is younger than him, AND met him 5 minutes ago, there's no equivalent for this behavior in English(you don't have suffixes, and you don't usually call someone "senior"), they had to sub that with something, and so we got "kiddo". May or may not be the best choice, but I understand the logic behind the translation.
I'm not bothered by those minor things, I focus on the plot, and the plot stays true to the source material afaik. The story keeps me engaged, a lot of the characters are not two dimensional, with a lot of unsolved hooks for future expansions or games. The music is so damn good. The combat system is deep enough to satisfy a veteran, although I have a lot to say about this later on. And the minigames...the minigames...sucked. Probably unintentionally, I'll get to that too.

The story

Basically, it starts with rune lenses. It's basically this lens thingy that allows people to do magic, either doing cool attacks or outright shoots fire. The rune chooses its wielder, not everyone can do everything, and some are better at something that the others. Some are even better than the others at everything actually. This translates into gameplay by having different characters able to use different types and levels of runes, and some may have options that seem out of place(like a warrior somehow able to use high level magic runes), that's because they're naturally born with that affinity, not the other way around.
The story begins with one Dux Aldric, who's pissed that the runes didn't choose him. It's unfair that some people are chosen, and he's not. He tries to research into how to let everyone uses the power of the lens, creating regules to amplify their power, and that's the end of the good part. After the tutorial mission of the story, during the 6 months time gap the answer he found to using the power of primal lens(rune lens, but bigger) was mass murder. By sacrificing rune wielders, he can use the power of the primal rune, and so he set everything in motion.
I really like that there's a correlation between story and gameplay. Most people can use 4 runes, some of them have personal runes only they can use, some of them have better slots than the other, and some can use WAY more than 4. Leene says the rune smiles upon her, and she's not joking. Being able to use 7(8 if you count her personal) 4th level all type runes mean she truly is loved by them, and is the exact type of people Aldric is jealous of.
There are two main paths the story can go, either Perrielle dies, or Leene saves her. In my opinion, Perrielle dying, while considered the "bad ending", actually makes the story better. Now there are stakes. An ally that stays with you for most of the game is dead, and all your recruit feels it. Milana, who's usually self absorbed, is pissed. Hakugin, who's a professional assassin, is not cool with this assassination. Riufan and Lam, two elders in our army, lament that such a young lady dies before them. Everyone in the army is angry and more gruffy members like Francesca and Yusuke are ready to kick ass. All of them felt her death, and that fills the assault on Aldric with more emotions.
In fact, if you finish the story on this route and NG+ into an alternate timeline, Leene's appearance becomes more impactful. Instead of a goofy girl appearing to save a girl you might not even like, you almost go "Not this time!" and Leene suddenly go "LUCKY GIRL DEFLECTION". It's the same event, but the feeling completely changes. This time she's saved. This time she's alive. Leene is still every bit as goofy, but this time you feel emotions because Perrielle on her deathbed showed who she really is, and you don't have to see it this time.
As for the rest of the story, there are quite a few unsolved hooks:

• Valkiss and Vorrdice going back to their homeland to stage a coup against Valmaurice.
• We have no idea what the heck Nil(rune golem?) and Pooby(even Marisa has no idea) are.
• Reyna going back to what country?
• What's the elf village look like? They are one of the reasons we won the war.
• Steeryn Villate sounds like an interesting place.
• Iugo's secret mission what?
• What happens to the empire now that we exploded Aldric?

And those are perfect setups for either an expansion or a next game.

The Characters

As expected of an army of 120 recruitable heroes, they have to stereotype a lot of the cast to make sure they're distinct enough, but there are still depths to them. I'll list some examples.

• Markus appears to be your typical lich, but he offered to make you undead not out of evil intention, but good will. He truly sees undeath as a good thing, and will only reanimate people if they accept it, no random zombies. He did not reanimate Perrielle when she died because he honors her sacrifice.
• Dijkstra is a scholar and is pretty serious about it. You wouldn't guess it from his appearance and occupation, but he hunts rune lenses to study them, and actually wants to get into Carles University.
• CJ, Isha, and Garoo all have their own agenda(a treasure hunter, a money grabbing mayor, a daughter doting bodyguard) and bickers all the time, but if I so much as hurt one of them, the other two will kill me.
• Maureus is not magically talented for the most part. He tries to find magic he can use, and body enhancement magic is the one thing he's compatible with. He's not training his muscle so hard just to call it magic, he trains it to compliment his only magical talent so he could be a proper mage. Granted, he still got a couple things wrong(MP), but still...
• Francesca does not have dissociative identity disorder. She was a scrapper in her youth, picking fights to protect bullied kids. She wants to be more ladylike and tries to mask her previous mannerism by being polite and kind, her outbursts are just her dropping the act.
• Momo is not all cutesy. He actually has a fairly huge impact on some of the mage cast's lives. Mellore's magical girl fever? His book. Maureus becoming a muscle mage? His advice(with major misinterpretation on Maureus's part). Gieran studies his documents and regards Momo as a legendary mage.
• Aldric is a power hungry murderer, but he's not a complete monster. When Heinrich sacrificed himself to let him escape, his thank feels very genuine. Many people don't get why he let Perielle leave Eltisweiss, let me lay it clear for you; had he killed her then, she would become a Matyr and people would revolt, possibly uniting the entire league of nation against him. He could have at least captured her, but he's so impressed by her balls that he decided to let her go.

Of course, half the cast are quite stereotypical(Reyna, Milana, Mio, Hakugin, etc...), there's 120 just in your base alone, hard to make them all fully alive, but even then all 4 I named feel like actual humans when Perrielle died. Also, some stereotypical characters can totally be explored in the future, like Valentin. He's a low towner that rose through the rank through strict effort, only to loosen up once Arthur died. That much is stereotypical, but then there's the fact that his personality is the way it is because he's a spy(or becomes one because he has compatible personality, this goes both ways). He acts friendly and talks to people to gather intelligence, and he flirts as part of his work(though most of it is totally from him being an actual flirt). Valentin's totally a normal friendly dude when you talk to him, you wouldn't know he does intelligence work if the game didn't tell you. The only implication we ever get that he's in this line of work is his weapon of choice(twin daggers, while there's no correlation in real life, this is what most fantasy media thieves, rogues, and assassins would use). If he gets a game, he can totally be the protagonist with more backstory(AND front story).

Gameplay

This is going to be a bit long, and probably the longest part of this review. Let's not mince words and get to it right away.
Interruptions
Early on, the game is very heavy on interruptions. You will walk 3 steps, trigger a cutscene, fight, only to walk another 3 steps, trigger another cutscene, then fight again. This will happen SO. DAMN. MUCH. that it gets annoying pretty fast. I'm glad most people don't turn away just because of this, because later on it gets much better and I actually get to enjoy the story/gameplay mix.
Combat
I have no gripes about the overall combat, it's a good system, with enough approach to the fight to keep me engaged and wanting to try new strats. Buffs aren't useless, status effect have impact, and for the entirety of the main story, every single character has a niche they can fill at different parts of the game. It makes me feel smarter than I really am by using all the tricks up my sleeve to win fights(using sleep to get through the Seign section, equipping entire team with fire resist to beat chandra early, using Fire God's Sword(and later Storm Front) to make hybrid roster useful, speed control to allow healers to move before the boss).
It is noteworthy that the encounter rate in this game is perfectly tuned for modern audience(after they fixed the initial bug of course). Random battles do not annoy me at all despite it being out of fashion nowadays.
I, however, do have some...issues. No, I'm not mad, just flabbergasted that these are not taught to players at all. The Help page bothered to tell us Blunt attacks damage armor, Grapple attacks ignore armor, and Shoot attacks deal extra damage to flying enemies, why did it not tell us anything about Enchantment and Compatibility?
Elemental Enchantments
DEFINITELY should be taught to players early on. About 1/4th of the entire roster is intended to be used with enchantments. No, not just hybrids, but also full mages with physical weapon like Leon and Hilda or physical skills like Milana, Markus, and Carrie. Even some full physical dps like Lam and Iugo are really good with enchantments due to their unnecessarily high magic stats.
So in case you're not aware, enchantments are a subset of spells that, when cast on your characters, will add elemental bonus to their physical damage, this bonus damage scales off the magic stats of the one receiving the buff, meaning characters that has equally high power and magic like Francesca or Seign, or whose normal attack is physical but has really high magic stats like Hilda or Leon, will greatly benefit from enchantments. You'll see a +x number above your damage number, that's the enchant bonus.
The earliest enchantment you get is, of course, Fire God's Sword, which you get as soon as you have access to Rune of Fire, which is like, one of the first magic rune you can get in the game. On top of enchanting your weapon with fire, it also buffs power and magic, so this will be useful even outside spellblade purpose, but we're talking enchantment here, so let's ignore all other benefits. Of course, this early on you would not want to randomly use it, the spell cost a whooping 65 MP, so you will most likely only use it against bosses, but the payoff you get is very real. Cast it once, and Francesca will canonically beat people to death with her Morningstar.
Just a bit later into the game, you will have access to actual enchantment runes, which will enchant the user's weapon. While they have their niche(which is not related to weapon enchantment), I would NOT recommend them. It is better to rely on Fire God's Sword, not because other elemental enchants are bad, but because enchant runes lock the buff to the user, which makes it objectively worse; it's better to have your support cast FGS on your dps and get the payoff right away, rather than have your dps spend a turn casting X Enchant on themselves.
If the devs want this subset of runes to be better, there's an easy fix, just make it so that the character immediately does one normal attack right after self-enchant. These runes will immediately become useful, while FGS will still be good because you can cast it on other targets.
Once you have access to Rune of Storm(you have access to it as early as the mountainpass, it's a drop from adult cockatrice, though you might have problem finding it without drop rate boost), all hell break loose. Storm Front enchants your entire team with wind, making the power level of spellblade teams soar through the roof for this section of the game, all the way to the final boss. After the maingame ends, due to how weird the devs tweak the growth rate of characters past level 60, the list of viable spellblades at level 99 consists of just Lakian and Aleior, and Aleior is big, so we end up with just Lakian, more on this in a bit.
Had I not messed around with enchantments, I would not have found out exactly how it works, I played my jrpg blind, no looking up stuffs(that's why I never visit this sub until I at least cleared the main story), and to my surprise many people online actually don't know about enchantments. They definitely should teach people how it works, if not by tutorial, have the information be available in-game somewhere, npc dialogues, combat school, character conversation, anything.
Elemental Compatibility
And it gets worse. Every single character in the game has different elemental compatibilities that affect how strong their spells of that element will be. For example, if you ever give Zabi a Fire rune, you'll find that he does garbage damage with it, that's because Zabi has -90% with fire, meaning he deals a grand 10% damage with fire spells.
The devs are considerate enough that very few are this bad at something, from a brief sniffing around, I find that it's only Zabi with fire and Mellore and Falward with dark that's THIS bad, most other mages are only this bad at elements that aren't meant to do damage anyway, like Milana being -90% with light or Melridge being -90% with wind(wind and light spells are mostly supportive, and wouldn't mind the penalty), but this system will definitely affect the power level of some mages.
Thankfully, most mages are at least neutral or positive with all relevant elements, so you won't be severely punished for not knowing this, you might not be using their strongest element, but as long as they're doing a good enough job, they don't have to do better, and physical characters using spells for their utility aren't affected by this at all(Reyna and Valentin both have negative affinity with dark, but they're exceptional Reaper's Lullaby users), but damn, would it hurt to have one box on the status screen show this to us? I know they tried to give us hints by putting random elemental runes on characters(like Alwe being +10% with fire has a Fire rune equipped when he joins or how earth is the only element Maxim has no penalty in), but this is not the age of obscure information anymore, players will just look up information online, especially when it comes to something this important. It just adds an unnecessary extra step to gameplay.
FYI I went through my first playthrough without knowing this system exist at all. Affinity either doesn't matter for characters I use, or they have good affinity with all spells anyway. Many people putting Zabi in their party, on the other hand, learned it the hard way, and despite me using Mellore, I never put dark runes on her.
Post game growth
While it's not a problem for characters that scale well into postgame like Nowa or Lam, for characters that falls off after endgame, I gotta ask, why? Hakugin, for example, is so good during maingame that she hard carried me through all the tougher boss fights, why would you want her to be so much weaker during postgame dungeon?(she went from having one of the highest power in the entire game to one of the lowest among physical attackers, and her rune slots are pretty meh, so no niche there either).
I can understand dropping off a bit, like, let other characters shine, I get that, but to fall off this hard seems unfair to people who genuinely like the character and want to keep using them. Again, it's okay for them to not be the best anymore, the game will be more interesting that way, we'll need to find their strong points if we want to keep using them, but not when they're this bad. This is not a gacha game, there's no need to make some character this far behind the others to generate revenue. Do the devs simply want to force everyone to use Dijkstra, Leene, Lam, and Momo??
It's not even in-character, why do Wayve have less muscle than Marisa? Big bro was jacked the whole game, did his muscle suddenly atrophy? Dude's only 27!
Again, this is not to say every character has to be equally strong by the end, Mellore, for example, is in a good spot, she's really good for early postgame due to her high base stats, her having bad rune slots will not be a problem yet as you won't have many endgame runes, you can farm endgame runes with her, after which you can outfit other mages with said runes, then her optimal usage is over, you can bench Mellore, BUT! Because her base is good, even though she's not optimal to use, if a player really likes her character, she actually has a niche that makes her playable even in later postgame, you just need to get creative with her build(one t2 magic, one t4 magic, has built in offensive spells, plenty I can do with that). This is totally acceptable to me, optimizing weaker characters that has a niche has always been my thing.
There's a difference between "bad character, but they have this useful niche" and "bad character that's worse than good ones in every single way".
Despite me ranting about it, it's not as big of an issue as I might make it sound, some people like more challenging runs, and these weaker characters are materials for them, but I still need to voice the criticism from my perspective out of love for the game.
Hero combo
Most of them are bad. Period. There's like, 4 good ones.

• Friendship Combo: It's a 1SP aoe clear.
• Lucky Meddlers Combo: Ditto, it's strictly worse than just having Leene do Full Force Clacker, but good enough when Leene doesn't have 3SP.
• Siblings Combo: Good for early game, it's a 1SP aoe heal you can spam every single turn.
• Light and Dark Heal Combo: An aoe heal that buffs attack, and both characters have nothing better to do with their SP anyway.

For the rest, they either are too expensive to be worth it, deals too little damage, or are single target. All single target combos are outright bad. Most of them will do less damage than each individual simply doing their thing.

Minigame

Oh my Alde Dracare, where do I even begin. Let's get the good ones out of the way first.
Card Battle
Is fun. No, really, I like it. I didn't play it more because...what's the goal? There's no incentive to do more than just to get Shixeen. You get cards by buying them, so you just spam packs until Shixeen appears, make a deck out of available cards, beat Shixeen, and that's it, that's the end goal, nothing more to do past that. There isn't even any stronger opponents you can go against.
Egg Race
Chocobo Breeding. Is also great, you'll sink a lot of time here if you enjoy it, and there's no recruit behind it, so you don't have to touch the minigame ever if you don't want to, and there's a goal; to get the best eggfoot there ever is. The rewards aren't great if you're at endgame, but you can still do it for the fun of it, this minigame is like a full ps1 game.
Cooking
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the good part ends. It's supposed to be fun, you're supposed to look at your judges and design a 3 course meal that fits all their taste buds. Instead, because of a bug, you're an egg chef. Omelet, Fried Egg, Poached Egg. Celia. Done.
The cooking minigame is bugged, and until the bug is fixed, you're an egg chef and your judges are egg maniacs. Look around this sub, enough people have talked about it that I don't feel the need to echo it. They treat all dishes as appetizers, and anything not appetizer gets heavily penalized. All egg dishes happen to be appetizers.
Beigoma
OH. MY. MARKUS. IT GETS WORSE!
I'll quote my comment in another post:

I think the beigoma story is intended to be played alongside the main story as you explore. Like, get your first beigoma early, get some beigoma drops as you progress the story, beat people you find in cities you visit along the way.
The problem is that without some late game drop rate booster, you barely find beigoma from mobs, and this throws everything out the window. You'll have your starter elemental beigoma for a really, really long time while people in later cities will start to have silver or golden beigomas. They didn't balance it through.

Basically that. If this is something to be done alongside the story, I think it'd be pretty sick, but no. You go much further, get good beigomas, and backtrack. It's a chore.

And that's it

That is all I have to say. If there's anything you disagree with, feel free to voice it, this is just my opinion, I can and will be wrong, and we don't always see things in the same light. Thanks for reading!

Pure evil tier:
Dottore(Unethical experiments on a lot of people especially children. Caused Crepus death indirectly. Major source of suffering of Collei and Scaramouche)
Crucabena(Wolf in sheep's clothing, a child abuser who has no emotion to her biological daughter Clervie and works with Dottore closely)
Broken:
Scaramouche(His past is tragic but he still kills a lot of innocent blacksmithes in Inazuma. He actually tried to kill us multiple times.)
Pantalone(A greedy banker with unhealthy obsession to wealth and has massive hate boner to Morax because he was a broke guy. And he chooses to work with Dottore closely)
Signora(500 years ago her lover Rostam died and she nuked a lot of abyss monsters yet she was feared as a witch. She is an arrogant person and did commit war crimes in Inazuma but she has soft spot on children)
Pierro(A tragic royal mage that failed to save his homeland because the king didn't listen to him. But he is the Director of Fatui. He is responsible for all shady and evil actions from Fatui)
Neutral:
Pulcinella(He is a successful mayor that every Snezhnayan citizens love. But he sacrificed a lot of people from House of the Hearth which are most likely not from Snezhnaya to exchange much greater benefit. And he was holding Childe's family under hostage without Childe noticing, trying to antagonize Arlecchino to make Childe hates her. That's just politician thing)
Arlecchino(She is a dangerous individual. Yet she genuinely cares about the children from the House. She "executes" them for treachery with her memory wiping flame. Her entire quest is to make all the children to be safe from the Project Stuzha)
Tartaglia(Outside of mission, he is no different to a wholesome dude. You can see him get along with children and even Yoimiya in 3.2 Canvas event. But during mission, he is insane enough to summon a god that can drown Liyue. And his battle maniac nature is most likely influenced by Skirk who has completely different common sense compared to human)
Good:
Capitano(Everyone is praising his strength and personality. Varka respects his strength and courage. Scaramouche doesn't deny that he possess absolute righteousness. And Arlecchino said he shoulders huge responsibility and he deserves respect regardless of his strength )
Too little information
Sandrone(We only know she was a shut-in. Being unlikable dork. And rip someone's tongue when she was angered)
Columbina(She is too mysterious. She is probably an uncaring person after all. Scara and Childe think she is unsettling but Arlecchino is fine with her)

The man adopts a boy and the boy and the man end up loving each other because they are what they need. The man could not openly admit his love or even call it that because it was too much emotion for him. The narrator follows up and says:
“but the bible had another word for it. and that word was love.”
I really thought this quote was from maniac Magee but on rereading it, I couldn’t find the quote anywhere.
If anyone knows what the book is, please let me know!

They really tried to cram everything into this game, and it allegedly had an inhumane crunch cycle. The game's director even quit CDPR after speaking out to employees after they had accused him of being a bully, so despite how excellent it was it was a project beset with bad practices and exploiting low wages. But the game itself is excellent. It makes you go "how does a game like this even exist?" Even though you realize the combat isn't amazing and quests generally follow formulaic gameplay patterns.
But I really juggle between saying that Witcher 3 is a truly great story and whether it's just a game with a lot of story.
The writing never made me cringe, but at the same time I also sometimes felt like the various character moments and subplots insisted upon themselves, and I also sometimes get the sense that the dialogue lacked any editing, where everything really takes its time, and they're waiting for you to sympathetize with every little thing.
The plot of the main quest is essentially "The Princess is in Another Castle" for the first half and the remainder is a "Father and Daughter" story, but the continuity to the previous games is often belittled and regressive in writing complexity and not in a satisfying way. Yennefer's reappearance was the big teaser of the whole Witcher Game arc and TW3 starts by excusing it and just making her appear as if it's not a big deal. Witcher 2 was all about the high politics of Temerian kings and featured a cunning but clearly raving Radovid who begrudged the sorceresses, but in TW3 he isn't just figuratively mad, and maniacally laughing to a metaphorical chess game, no he is LITERALLY insane and talking to pieces on a chess board, which practically reduces his entire motive behind setting mages on fire, into just "he's dehumanized".
I sometimes got the feeling that Witcher 3 was only interested in portraying the market friendly, sanitized affairs, and also some erotic love scenes, but it shies away from dealing with the coldness of living in a medieval world. Even someone like the Baron who is the game's most twisted example, is ultimately portrayed as a sympathetic dude, and even Nilfgaard, the arch enemy looming over the previous game, are constantly being posited as "maybe not actually so bad" as they beset law and order... But the game almost never demonstrates how badly they have wounded Temerian families. At first I thought this was mature and realistic, but over the course of the game it started to feel nonchalant to me, as if the game thinks you DON'T feel like Nilfgaard are bad for conquering the North. Again, with Radovid consolidating all of Temerian like he does, and being literally insane, the constellation being presented is "The bad guys are good, and the good guy is actually bad". But that is so reductive in presentation that it ends up betraying the games' tendency for "two lesser evils" to me.
As a footnote, I also found on replay that the Skellige subplot is mediocre. I like all the people you meet but it literally starts with a feast in which a high class woman is like "Your an Craite customs are bastardous, and should be abolished!" To a series of happenstances and a big assault that ends up with you simply going "yeah... It was her, the woman who said she didn't like the An Craite... Tried to sabotage An Craite". Duh.
And the third act will always feel like a collection of plot points intended for Witcher 3 Part 2 but told in a rushed anthology until suddenly the White Frost just happens and Ciri beats it or not, somehow, and then a rushed showcase of whether Temeria remains or not, and Ciri pulling out a Witcher Sword or whatever.
I like the game, but after having replayed all 3, I find TW3 lacks some substance.

I recently started reading chapter books to my 5 year old. We started with Charlotte's Web. Next we read Sideways Stories from Wayside School. He LOVED it. Next we read the first Boxcar Children book, and then read Wayside School is Falling Down. We then started another Boxcar Children book, but he wanted to go back to Wayside, so we read the remaining 2. Since finishing that series, we've tried Dogs Don't Tell Jokes (The only other Louis Sachar the library had at the time), one of the Stick Dog books, and Maniac Magee. He keeps losing interest and asking if there are more Wayside books.
So I need suggestions for books that he will find as funny and engaging as Wayside School, with the characters preferably being elementary-aged (I think this is why he didn't like Dogs Don't Tell Jokes, because they were middle-school aged).
Thanks!

So I might have posted a time or two here, but I wanted to post a reminder about my series gaining traction over on RoyalRoad which has a rather unusual aspect. Most of the MCs are either or partially dragons, and they're fighting to save the world from one maniacal, murder-happy dragoness CEO with her eyes set on building a dragon army, and stomping the current mage government. They've got determination, draconic superpowers, and a few experts with experience and training. They're up against a battle-hardened army of killers, and more than a couple of dragons of their own to fight the coming conflict.
The odds are just about even.
Volume II, Act 3 HAS COMMENCED! There will be battles! Triumphs and great losses! And secrets revealed that will cut to the core of how they all met!
Go check out The Legend of the Luminaires, for your source of teenage dragons fighting to save the world!

Backstory: One of my players engaged in a lot of armwrestling in our previous campaign. Now another one of my players has shown interest in an item like a club of hill giant strenght or similiar and i want to give it to his charakter in a special way. They will enter the old hometown of that charakter from the previous campaign (current campaign happens a couple decades later) and there is a armwrestling tournament planned in the memory of that charakter. They will find a Billboard telling them where they can enter into the tournament which also defines the rules:
-The primary contestant shall not be supported by more than two allies. -Potions, concoctions and other performance enhancing consumables have to be used before the match. -No more than two performance enhancing items shall be worn by the primary contestants. -no permanent dispells of contestants items. -No killing or acts of violence that may result in death or long term disability. -only the primary contestants may touch. -Every two matches they get a short period to rest. -getting caught breaking the rules means you forfeit your right to the grand price.
The Armwrestling itself is basically a couple of strenght checks. Both contestants start with at 100 "hp" and when they win the strenght check they get a d6 for every point they won that strenght check by, with which they get to "attack their enemie hp"
The Billboard will also be scattered with tags of diffrent contestant groups hinting towards what they may be challenged with like: "You don't fuck with the mageguild-maniacs" that shall show them that winning this will not be easy.
I expect them to drop considerable funds trying to get an advantage, they are a group of 5 level 14 Players, a barbarian, a Paladin, a cleric, a mage with a buff heavy build and thief that i expect to fuck around with the other contestants. Now i need some decend groups to match them against.
Also: Is that to much fuzz/investment for a hill giant strength item?

Obviously no champ can tick all the boxes since this champ is pretty unique or maybe they dont do it exactly like malz does, but these are the reasons why i enjoy playing the prophet, tell me what other champs are like this(or ignore these points and tell me your personal secondary picks and why you chose them):

• he is easy to play, his damage and cc are easily appliable even on mobile champs that i usually struggle against. I dont have hands, and malz is a champ i can perform well even if my opponent is a mechanical god that far outclasses me in terms of micro. They cant do the turbo macarena while they are supressed for 2.5s, not to mention the 2s aoe silence on the 5s cd. I love cucking the "cancer" champs(irelia, riven, yasuo, yone, viego, akali, ...etc) in teamfights.
  
• uninteractive wave clear / can cs well with relative safety. As an ex-toplaner im obsessed with outcsing my opponents and malz can just absorb waves after lost chapter without much planning or setup AND he can do it from a safe distance. The fact that i can delay when the wave would crash and that the e+w keeps farming even when im leaving the lane are just the icing on the cake. I dont want to play the Für Elise on my keyboard ang go oom because i wanted to push the wave, and i also dont want to constantly walk up to the enemy assassin to beg them for some free cs.
  
• useful even when behind. Everyone and their mother wants to be the carry on the team(adc top, mage supp, assassin jg) and malz perfectly rounds out these comps by being a selfless champ, since there usually arent enough resources on the map for everyone to really shine. I can get strong enough with assists and farming well, so im more than happy to donate kills to the actual carries. And if im not behind i deal monstrous amounts of damage as well.
  
• simple and mostly risk-free gameplan. My job is to ult the biggest problem, whoever it is in the situation. I just need to create a pick and then win the fight by outnumbering the enemy. I dont really need to kite like a maniac to dps or jump into the enemies like an ahri for a high-risk-high-reward optimized dps to be useful.
  
• scales well. I never liked to play lane bullies who fall off in the mid/lategame because then the pressure is on me to make a play. I find not losing the lane on a scaling champ much easier than winning it on a bully. So i love champs where im not trolling by going 0/0/0 while having even/good cs. Id rather ult the overconfident diver under turret than to try and outplay someone who is mechanically better than me.
  
• good gank setup with ult. This is pretty self explanatory, but my jg has all the time in the world to jump on my laner while they are grasped by the nether.
  
• mostly blindpickable. Obviously i ban fizz, dodge tristana, and there are bad matchups that i dont enjoy much(irelia, diana, yone), but combining the 'scaling well', the 'easy to cs' and the 'useful even when behind' segments, most games are winnable and im not forced to beg the adc to switch places during champ select when they already see what they will be laning against.
  

What malzahar lacks(that having would be overpowered but a what a secondary pick may provide in lieu of something from above):

• the ability to reliably shove waves. True, above i claime that malz waveclear is uninteractive and safe, but since the voidlings get oneshot by anything, shoving waves is pretty stressful when the enemy contests it.
  
• early trading power that deters the enemy laner from walking up. 90 dmg over 4s at rank 1 isnt really much when mobile champions can jump on you from that exact range. And i really struggle poking with q due the shape and delay of it, not to mention the enormous amount of mana it costs(but for not much longer, thank you riot)
  
• burst.
  
• mobility / selfpeel that doesnt root you as well for the duration
  

Chapter One
Prev--------Next
Taritha woke to birds chirping—a small perk of living close to the woods. Not that she had chosen this, really. In recent weeks, she’d approached every potential house seller in the village, but none had panned out. She yawned, stretching as she stood in her cramped home, where even the ceiling seemed to press down upon her. As she ducked instinctively to avoid bumping her head, she imagined a real house, with rooms tall enough to hold her dreams. Or at least where she could stand up straight.
Despite everything, she felt a pang of nostalgia. This was her birthplace, the only home she’d ever known. Yet now, it harboured mostly painful memories. Thoughts of her ma and grandma, whom she dearly loved, too often left her feeling drained and sad—luxuries she couldn’t afford with her busy days. She was no longer the frightened girl learning the names of all the flowers in the meadow. Now, she stood as the town's healer, or more precisely, the assistant to the town's biomancer—a role with even greater prestige.
"If only Gran could see me now," she mused aloud with a bittersweet smile.
Taritha approached the two woven reed baskets that stored all her belongings. Among them were the old, patched dresses of her past—a stark contrast to the refined, embroidered garments the mage had given her. These made her feel transformed, but today, on her day off, she had something even better in mind. She smiled, pulling out a new dress made by her friend, Jeanel the seamstress. It was just delivered the other night and was her first purchase ever—a pale green dress with flowy sleeves and a narrow collar. The fine cotton swished at her ankles, a delightful improvement from the coarse fabrics she was used to.
With a contented sigh, she revelled briefly in the feel of the dress, then turned her attention to breakfast. Despite her ongoing magical studies, she’d yet to master even boiling water. As she gathered sticks in the forest, she mused how her life had been dominated by such mundane tasks, a stark contrast to the mage's effortless magic. That more than anything fueled her passion to learn his secrets.
Returning home, Taritha stoked the morning’s embers and set a pot of porridge on her small hearth. A busy herbalist, she always had some honey on hand. In addition to its therapeutic qualities, it made her breakfast far more palatable. After the hearty oats, she tackled her unruly hair with a worn wooden comb, a necessary chore given her long locks. The old comb was worn and was missing more than half its teeth, but she’d had it for years. Maybe it was time to replace it, later this afternoon. Each stroke helped her focus, as she mentally prepared for her day.
Today is a big day! Mage Thippily asked me to meet him at the new factory!
She washed her hands in a shallow bowl in front of her house, flung the water into the woods, and headed to the mage’s converted warehouse. She rubbed her hands dry as she crossed through the woods and into town. Here and there people smiled and waved at her.
She was always barely tolerated, and only that because she provided the poorer folk with herbs and cures, and helped her gran do the same since she was a girl. It was different now. She wasn’t sure if it was dressing like a big city clerk, or the amazing results the mage had worked, or just being associated with the huge, and almost universally positive changes that had come to the town in the last few months? She was treated like a respected pillar of the community, even without a powerful family. Or maybe because of her powerful new friends, she mused.
Taritha arrived at the sprawling patio where the mage’s men lounged in casual attire. Although she often spoke with them and even joined in their card games, she realised how little she truly knew about them. Their backgrounds were an enigma; they spoke of poverty yet displayed a casual wealth, like the time Rikad nonchalantly settled a woodcutter’s hefty, overdue tab with a mere wave of his hand. Their claims of never having served a lord or the imperial army were belied by their skilled, coordinated response during the pirate attack.
Their treatment of her was curiously deferential. Despite the lack of a formal hierarchy beyond Mage Thipply at the summit and Lord Stanisk as his deputy, they treated her with respect bordering on reverence. She wasn’t even sure of elv’s exact status—was she respected, feared, or merely tolerated? Yet, Taritha found herself secretly delighted by their respectful, if entirely mistaken, forms of address.
“Ah! Her Grace has arrived! We saved a sugar bun for you!” Eowin somehow mistook her for a duchess as he dramatically gestured to the patio table, where a single pastry sat on a crumb-covered cloth.
“You surely spoil me with your kindness, gentlemen!” The bun was cooled but was still tender and fresh. She tore into it while everyone stood up to gather around.
“Ifff Thiffply here yet? She asked, covering her full mouth with her hand.
“Nah, he left hours ago,” Kedril announced as he opened the gate, gesturing for everyone to head out. “We’re to join him at his factory once you show up.”
“Why do you think he wants all of us there? That’s a bit ominous, isn’t it?” Rikad mused as they strolled down the street.
“It’s to show off his, OUR, new factory. He’s been out there every day since Midsummer. Nothing he could do would be ominous!” Ross countered, drawing groans from his mates.
“If he asked you to walk into a sea monster’s mouth, you’d do it! I swear!” Kerdril retorted, exasperated.
“Well yeah! Because he’d only ask that if it was okay! You guys would too!” Ros insisted.
Taritha couldn't decide if Ros's unwavering faith was endearing or concerning. The polite, bespectacled man was undoubtedly generous, but secrets followed him like storm clouds.
Rikad turned to her, curiosity piqued. “Okay, Taritha, we might not know anything, but you must. You talk to the mage more than all of us combined!”
“He’s been distracted and excited, definitely looking forward to today. But I’m not in the inner circle, I’m just a worker bee like you guys,” she shrugged, smiling as the men sported an array of colourful tunics, remnants of the Midsummer melee.
As the boastful chatter continued at the front, Ros slowed to match Taritha's pace. “How's the house hunt going? Find anyone selling?”
“No, even with the Chief helping, they all know it’s for me, and they’re being difficult. I help these people, but they can’t look past what they think they know about me,” she confessed, careful to keep her eyes on the tricky path.
“That stinks. But at least your clinic yesterday went well, right?” Ros tried to lighten the mood.
“Mostly? I almost wish someone would come in with an axe in their leg! Now, it's all trivial complaints. Like, they’re tired before bed or their kids won’t listen—things we can’t fix because there’s nothing actually wrong,” she laughed dryly. Realizing she’d been complaining and talking about herself too long, she redirected back to Ros, “Was that your first battle the other night? Seeing you in action, I worried, but those pirates didn’t stand a chance against you!”
He softened, touched by her concern. “I’m just as strong as anyone else! Maybe younger, but—” He paused, kicking a pine cone, then added gruffly, “We fought for the town. Giving up was never an option.”
After a moment, he looked up, his face brightening. “I like your dress, by the way. Is it new?”
She beamed with pride and smoothed the fabric. “Thanks! Yes, it's from my friend, the seamstress. Getting paid is a better way to live.”
“The pay is good, the second best part of the job, maybe third,” he quipped, offering a teasing grin.
Taritha laughed, rolling her eyes playfully. “Oh Light! I see why they groan when you talk. Hey, Rikad! I bet the mage will turn one of you into a messenger pigeon, and I’m just here to make sure none of you eat the birdman!”
They rounded a corner and Taritha could see the factory for the first time. Her duties and habits had kept her in town for the last few months, making today the first time she’d seen the building. This section of woods, and even this trail were familiar to her, but the enormous stone edifice in front of her was striking. She’d never seen any building as big in her life. The scale was hard to judge, but it looked like she could fit not just the count’s manor, the church, and every inn in town in the great building. Probably most of the craft district too!
The road led them straight into the daunting gatehouse. Wide enough for even oversized carts, it was sturdy enough for a siege. Her hand lingered on the open door. The imported oak was thick, and bound by great iron braces. She could feel the subtle pulse of some enchantments deep in the wood, strengthening and protecting it. Her companions were more impressed by the well appointed guard posts and the lookout tower, linked to the gatehouse by a rope bridge high overhead.
“Ah yeah! Look, it’s stone all the way around the tower, the only way in is at the top! From up there we could shoot into the back of anyone attacking the gate!” Rikad pointed out with glee, elbowing Kedril.
“Lightdamn it,” Kedril replied with a low sigh, smiling despite the jab.
After admiring the craftsmanship of the entryway, they stepped into the main yard of the factory. It was a sprawling, wide-open space, recently reclaimed from the dense forest that still towered around its walls. The ground was a patchwork of uneven dirt, dotted with stringy bushes and the raw stumps of freshly cut trees. Piles of construction materials—lumber, stone, and scattered tools—lay strewn about, signs of the ongoing work. A rough, two-lane road carved through the yard, looping around the area in a practical, if makeshift, circuit.
Taritha paused to slowly turn in place, absorbing the imposing scene. The walls around her soared several stories high, lined with dressed timber that lent the industrial space an unexpected warmth, reminiscent of a colossal cabin. Massive loading bay doors punctuated the walls, each wide enough to accommodate carts and machinery, flanked by smaller, human-sized doors dotted the side of the factory proper.
The entire courtyard felt like a blend of raw, untamed nature and budding industrial might, a place on the cusp of becoming a centre of bustling activity yet still holding onto elements of the wild forest it had so recently been.
“Oh! I think that’s the door to go in!” Taritha announced, gesturing to the one with parchment bearing the mage’s neat handwriting.
Please Come In
“I thought you said you’d never been here? Rikard said, his voice suspicious, his eyebrows impressed.
“That’s what the– nevermind, it's this way.” she said. Her attention was now acutely focused on what lay ahead.
What could it be about? This was strange. If it were a tour, why didn’t he, or at least Stanisk greet them at the front? Something’s off. He’s firing us all. We get paid too much, and now that his fortress is built, he doesn’t need us!
She noticed nothing of the interior, focused instead on her fears and anxieties. Good things were vanishingly rare in her life, so she didn’t expect them to last. She walked, looking at her feet. She hoped that she could at least keep her new black boots when they fired her, she really liked them.
They ended up in the main factory space, a colossal room that occupied more than half of the expansive building. It had rows of empty shelves on the sides, complex kilns at the back and rows of low, very wide empty benches around most of the perimeter. In the open centre of the room stood Lord Stanisk and Mage Thippily. As usual, Stanisk was clad in his heavy steel mail, while Thippily wore his customary tan vest over a neatly pressed shirt and slacks, exuding scholarly dignity. Their familiar attire offered a touch of reassurance amidst the vast, unfamiliar space.. The lack of tools or supplies made it feel a lot more like an abandoned warehouse, but much much bigger than any she’d heard of.
“Come! Come! What do you think? They did a first rate job, especially in such a short time!” Mage Thippily gestured around at the huge room. His cheerful voice seemed small on the factory floor.
Above, the ceilings towered, reaching heights Taritha had never seen inside a building, instilling a feeling of insignificance that was hard to ignore. The air was laden with the scent of fresh-cut wood and pine resin, comforting yet somehow unsettling in this unfamiliar, grandiose setting. She marvelled at the impressive scale of the room, all the while aware of how little she understood.
“Come! Gather around, we’ve so much to discuss!” Mage Thippily’s infectious cheerfulness helped scare away some of her worries. “Today is the day! This has been a huge part of my dream since before I even hired the first of you! Even before I met Stanisk!” He motioned everyone closer, and they formed a semi circle around him and his Chief of security, with a respectful few paces of distance between them.
“Have a knee, lads.” Stanisk casually commanded, and the twelve men immediately fell to a comfortable looking kneeling stance. That it happened in smooth unison implied this happened a lot. Much slower and more awkwardly she bunched her dress to the side and seated herself on the plank floor.
“Oh, excellent! Alright! There are a few things I wanted to share today!” The mage seemed more nervous than she did, and she wasn’t sure if that was a good sign or an awful one. What could he possibly have to worry about? He had all the money and power!
He straightened his wire frame glasses and continued, “First of all the factory will be starting regular production tomorrow! The carts and supplies will start arriving all day today, so Stanisk will have your updated duty roster. I imagine factory security will be the majority of your duties now, so there will be some adjustments. All of our vacations are over now!” He chuckled awkwardly.
“Running up hills with sacks of rocks was less of a vacation than you’d think M’lord!” one man piped up.
“Work is sitting in a shaded gatehouse? I reckon we’ll live,” added another.
“Cut the chatter, the mage ain’t done.” Stanisk seemed uncomfortable.
She hadn’t noticed it at first, but he was always so calm and resolute, seeing conflict written across his face was the most unsettling part so far. The boys seemed happy, their jobs sounded safe now. She tried to look serene.
The mage couldn’t fire me, I am learning magic! But too slowly? Maybe he’s too busy to continue tutoring a dullard with a whole factory to run?
Mage Thippily continued, “I have also mostly completed the quarters here, and you are all invited to move in immediately. I’d like to lend our warehouse-barracks to the families that lost their homes in the raid, then convert it back to a normal warehouse later on, since we’ll need the storage space soon.”
The men looked around the huge empty room but didn’t say anything. On one hand, sleeping on a factory floor was what very poor serfs did in the cities. On the other hand, the mage had been uncommonly open-handed so far, so the offer warranted at least some patience. After all, she was envious of how nice their accommodations were in that converted warehouse.
Seeing no objections, Mage Thippily gulped and shrugged, his discomfort growing more obvious. “Well, there is one more, rather large, bit of business in the middle. I’ve not been completely forthright about, well about the core nature of this entire enterprise.” He shifted his shoulders uncomfortably, for an instant reminding her of a very little boy getting caught stealing sweets. “The way that I make things isn't with magic, more with magical creatures.”
To her it seemed like a distinction without a difference. If anything that made it all much more impressive.
Seeing confused shrugs, he elaborated, “The creatures are animated with extraplanar energy, and bound, or I guess more accurately, projected using a novel form of enchanting, I’ve been calling totems.” Again no response. They were all fairly accustomed to his habit of over-explaining. Her recent arcane education had never mentioned anything about extraplanar energy or totems, but she could fill this massive building with all the things she didn’t know about magic.
“Since the specific extraplanar dimension is commonly called the ‘Hellplane’ and most of the process is based in demonology, they could be considered, in some categorization systems, as a type of demon.” he winced as he spoke.
Ah, there it is. He was the worst evil the Church had ever known and had allied himself with the forces of madness and chaos.
It was a shock to her, and she physically recoiled from the news. How could the kind, gentle mage be an incarnation of the cruelest type of evil? Literal demon worshipers. She reflected on how little he was bothered by her being born a witch, and compared to actual demons, it made a lot more sense. A narrow ray of self-doubt nagged her, if the church had lied to everyone about witches, maybe her reaction to demons was conditioned the same way.
Mage Thippily, or more accurately, Master Demonologist Thippily continued,“To be clear, they are not native to hell, nor do they have minds as we understand minds. They are perfectly safe, perfectly obedient and incapable of suffering. I cannot overstate how safe they are. One hundred point zero percent safe!”
A few of the men stood up and reached for non-existent weapons on their hips as they backpedaled. Eowin made the gesture of the triangle while shaking his head.
“Sit down you helpless moon-calves, the mage ain’t done talkin’,” Stanisk’s tone held just the barest edge of danger, and they begrudgingly stopped and knelt again. A sea of wide eyes focused on the mage, alert and tense.
“You knew about this, sir?”
“Sit down and shut up. Of course, I knew. I saw the imps ‘fore I even met Grigory.”
Grigory regained the focus. “First let me explain the perks! Each of you will get your own set of imps! They are perfectly obedient, and even bad instructions can’t cause bad outcomes. They will hopefully make your lives easier, free you from drudgery and give you more time and focus for enrichment! This factory, all my money and political clout, all of it is in service of my one true goal, and it’s been weighing on me not being able to share it!” He stood as straight as he could, and held his slightly trembling hands in front of him. “The end of labour, for all people everywhere!”
“Huh?” A sea of confused shrugs.
That goal was impossible and dumb. Everything is labour, that’s the whole point of, well everything? That’s the basis of everyone’s place in the world.
“One step at a time of course! First you, then the town then the whole Empire! The imps are perfectly safe, and much of what everyone does every day is tiring, undignified, and often unpleasant. Imps can do that now! There will be a day when all people in all places can spend their time however they please, pursuing whatever they fancy!”
Still a lot of sceptical frowns.
“So what’s that mean for us, milord? I don’t reckon I get where we fit in, as your workers?” Jourgun asked timidly.
“Ah! Of course! So the nature of the imps, their absolute inability to harm anyone means I still need people with the physical and moral capacity to defend my dream. It means you will accrue more wealth and power until those terms become meaningless, it means that I am now free to offer you the very best of my aid, and you will be the first to live the way I want all sentient life everywhere to live, free of drudgery!”
Most of that sounded like hollow rhetoric, but so much money that the term lost meaning seemed a very interesting offer. Well, to the soldiers. Taritha was all too aware she had neither the moral nor physical capacity to defend the mage against much. The men exchanged meaningful looks without saying anything.
“But I also understand the nature of this is itself an unkindness. I put you in a position where you are basically coerced into potentially acting against your beliefs. Since no one can say yes if they cannot also say no, I have a secondary offer. Anyone who would like to quit may do so. I’ll pay the balance of this year's salary, and pay for your passage on a ship to Wave Gate. In exchange for a simple verbal promise to keep my secret for the next year or two.”
“You’se best think hard on breaking that promise. You’se’d be making enemies with the most dangerous Grandmaster Demonologist whats lived in millenia,” Stanisk intoned menacingly.
“No, not at all! He’s kidding!” Grigory added while trying to smile as wide as he could.
Stanisk scowled and shook his head subtly, communicating that he was definitely not kidding.
“Can we talk about it for a bit? This seems, uh, big?” Rikad asked.
“Oh My! Yes! By all means!” the mage nodded agreeably.
Beside her the men stood up and huddled close, discussing intensely. She stood and looked at the tight knot of men. She felt out of place alone, and out of place butting in, but did anyway.
“-- is a no-brainer, right? We’d be insane to turn this down?”
“What about our souls? Money comes and goes, but souls?”
“I ain’t done no business with demons ‘afore? I don’t know guys…,” Jourgun equivocated.
“You hadn’t done business with a baker or tailor before the mage hired ya, don’t confuse being broke with being moral. Think about what else you can do that will result in a better life. It's the best offer I’ve been given, and the best offer anyone in a dozen generations of my family has gotten.” Rikad was firm, his priorities were well known to the rest of the men.
“This might not be his only secret, what if there’s more, and it’s worse?” whispered Taritha. She hated being the negative one, but it was so obvious to her.
“Sir! Is there more? Will it be worse?” Ros shouted.
“Uh, no? Plenty of more small details, but they’re all good, at least I think so?” The master demonologist said with a shrug.
“It’s okay Taritha, I checked.”
With effort, she kept a straight face. She wasn’t even sure if she wanted to strangle him or hug him. “Thanks.”
“We’re gonna be fighting the good guys, like the Church and Empire, you all are okay with that?” Kedril asked.
“Whoever opposes our mage, ain’t the good guy,” Rikad said calmly.
Ross turned to the front and shouted, “Will I have to fight the Church or the Empire?”
“No, every possible diplomatic–” the mage started.
“Yeah, but with magic swords and armour.” Stanisk interrupted.
Ross returned to the huddle, “That sounds pretty exciting!”
“I don’t wanna have anything to do with black magics, but I even more don’t want to leave. Imagine chopin’ trees for ten glindi a day? I can’t go back to that. Yeah, I’m in.” Theros said resignedly.
“Me too.”
“Yeah”
“Wait, wait, are you sure? This is an out. Might be the only one we get? What if it all goes to mush and we end up in the Inquisition’s dungeon?” Kedril asked. “Have we thought this through?”
“Imagine if it goes to plan? Imagine telling yer mum and whole family they’ll never have to toil again? And that change is because of your bravery? Seems a risk worth takin’.” Rikad retorted. “Take the exit if you want I guess?”
“Nah, I got nothing to go back to, and this is interesting. Besides, eleven maniacs following a demonologist will need a voice of reason.” Kedril explained.
“Oh yeah, our voice of reason! You’ll stay on won’t you, m’lady?” Rikad deliberately misinterpreted Kedril, and turned to Taritha.
If they think they have nothing to go back to, I have even less. Even his exit offer was unappealing. At least I understand where the mage’s disdain for the Church came from. His offer of protection seems even more sincere now.
She was silent while she tried to articulate her position.
“We’ll make sure that you’re safe if the demons turn on us! We’ll defend you to the last man!” Ros said with his big puppy dog eyes, but this time his mates nodded instead of rolling their eyes.
“Of course, I’ll stay, someone needs to put you back together!” She was touched by their loyalty, especially since it was unearned. She hadn’t actually helped or healed a single one of them so far.
Everyone left the huddle, and Rikad addressed the mage. “We all agree to continue employment under these new conditions. However, I’d like a few points clarified; Does this affect our souls, our descendants' souls, or our afterlives?”
Grigory's face lit up, and he finally relaxed. “That is great news! I’m overjoyed that you’ve put your trust in me, and I will continue to strive to be worthy of it. You have my assurance Rikad, there’s nothing in my research that has ever suggested the existence of souls or an afterlife. Who's ready for a factory tour?”

Introduction

as new player and even later as veteran i could not find proper directions to navigate vampiric world of Morrowind without studying Wiki like a maniac
now since i had opportunity to be on the dark side i know a lot and this guide will help even big newbie get thru this :)

• just to be clear, i got the amulet and best artifacts so far, didn't do 100% of the vampire yet
• Edit: currently experimenting with dlc as vampire, my last quest left in main is cure vampirism

Vampire Clans - whos best, differences:

Aundae:

• you are servant - no rewards for quests other than basics
• A lot of traveling, but easy quests

Berne

• you are servant - no rewards for quests other than basics
• a lot of traveling and minor problem with quests

Quara

• you are kin, 1000 gold reward and basic unlocks
• Pain in the ass unless you plan from before being vampire/start
• if you do, not much traveling

Preparations and how to travel:

what you need is:

• divine intervention
• Almasivi intervention
• Recall and mark
• Amulets for teleport spells from mages guild just to be sure (optional)
• Goldbrand Sword - from quest to restore shrine (optional)
• Push main quest to sixth house base (pre-corprus) (optional)
• gather at least 11171 gold in your pockets (spoily reasons)

Where to place Mark?:

• as Telvanni i place my mark near Aryon - Patron of Telvanni players
• its perfect/almost perfect for this type of work
• Almasivi to Ald'ruhn
• Divine to Sadrith Mora
• Sadrith Mora almasivi to gnar mok? - ugly vivec amputea part south
• Gnar mok? Devine to Pelagiad/Sadrith Mora :)
• Pelagiad Almasivi to Vivec

Other Valid marks?

• Inside your Vampire base?
• this can cut you traveling time, but its not as perfect imo

Where are Vampire bases:

Aundae:

• small island north-east of Urshilaku Tribe dungeon is called Ashmelech

Berne

• next to biggest lava pool in the game, middle of the map
• its easier to find it by accident than when you need to, but honestly hard to miss
• east of suran

Quara

• West of Urshilaku Tribe in place called Druscashti
• north of bdamthuz
• you will go to bdamthuz as you trying to go there (it is how it is)

Vampire universal quests and where to find them:

for not your clan Vampire is Vampire, you are all the same for them :)

Quest giver	Where	More directions
Fathasa Liethri	Ald'ruhn	Liethri manor bedrooms
Mastrius	Salvel Ancestral tomb	ghost fence east from Ahemmusa Tribe
Sirilonve	Vivec mages guild	shes a high elf with book
Raven Omayn	Sadrith Mora	Telvanni Council hall
Marara	Drethan Ancestral tomb	North of Ahemmusa Tribe

• Sirilonve can upgrade Goldbrand - you might wanna wikipedia gaming her quests
• Simply have goldbrand in inventory (can be in hand) and carry exactly 11171 gold before finishing 1st quest
• you can start her quest with any money, just make sure to finish it with said cash

Additional quests you can do as vampire:

• Plenty of telvanni quests can be done
• a lot of mages guild quests can be done (not all of them)
• solthaim dlc characters ignore your vampirism? - i need to test it, its an info i found somewhere
• Confirmed: i get to solthaim and even if default response was hostile few NPC greated me and even ware willing to talk like before i was vampire, i almost forgot how it is being accepted by others
• just in case save before talking to people in DLC as some of them can have default vampire greeting
• also commiting crime makes legion want to kill you because you are vampire

Reasons to be Vampire:

• Boost of attributes is nice
• unique dialogues
• bonus quests
• bonus artifacts - some of them insanely strong
• unique experience

Best clan to chose:

Aundae!

• this is not even close
• They want you to kill vampire hunter with unique items
• very powerful shield - constant effect and mace
• sources i found claims Vampire hunter can be killed and got items from by Aundae clan only
• Edit: Confirmed, guy popped out of nowhere after i asked about him and jumped journal

Other clans?:

Quara have solid location for travels, but its only convenient for hunting Aundae - bonus quest
Quara pays you and reward you as person, not just servant
Quara have most impossible 2nd quest ever invented and you don't wanna be here unless you plan for it
Berne have nice location for curing vampirism, but not much else

WHERE TO GET INFECTED:

Aundae:

• Sarethi Ancestral Tomb
• Dulo Ancestral Tomb
• Ararel Ancestral Tomb
• inside of clan itself (if you wanna use calm spell a lot later - don't do it)

Berne:

• Raviro Ancestral Tomb
• Othrelas Ancestral Tomb
• Andrethi Ancestral Tomb
• Marara herself
• inside of clan (don't do it)

Quara:

• Serano Ancestral Tomb
• Hleran Ancestral Tomb
• Alen Ancestral Tomb
• Salvel Ancestral Tomb - from vampire quest giver himself (calm spell, but just twice)

Trading as Vampire:

• Creeper - always reliable
• Telvanni shops
• Crab merchant
• Your clan once you unlock services (1st quest)

Curing Vampirism

Go to deadric shrine north of Suran
Recall to Aryon or get there by your own means
find whereever is this stupid cave he want you to go, its somewhere around

• Bonus journal records can be obtained at anytime
• Dungeon have 2 Grand named souls (if you collect these)

Complications with the Quests:

Aundae:

• killing Vampire in Quara does not count toward future reward quest
• Blood of Quara recovery might encourage you to kill Quara vampires before you get future reward quests
• killing vampire hunter before asking for him in Ald'ruhn might cause problems
• you have to kill high class Guard-like character in middle of the day around other guards and people
• you don't wanna wear items you looted from vampire hunter as vampire
• Confirmed: both kills you (slowly) and display unique text :)
• Magic resistance can counter drain magicka from shield

Berne:

• you need to Recover Blood of Quara for 2 different characters - there is only 1 vial - pick-pocket or kill
• Blood of Quara recovery might encourage you to kill Quara vampires before you get future reward quests
• there is a quest to kill leader: Slay Raxle Berne - you might wanna do it after being Berne vampire

Quara:

• Blood of Quara is right next to Leader of the clan, be sneaky or pickpocket her for key
• Amulet of Quara must be crafted from Crazy ingredients and you would have to collect them before being vampire if you wanna do it in this century
• unless you can find guide where to look for all of these

Closure:

Guide is just a notes, dressed as guide, i don't wanna spoiler the quests too much

• i will be working on fixing names of clans/places people, i know im not good with this
• i will be working on Steam guide with Images where i could do better guide, but more work so if it will not be out before 2025 feel free to use all i did here and make your own guide
• i hope people who google for answers will find this helpful

Sources:

i play the game a lot :)
both Wikis - UESP especially - imo superior in every way
