Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

I really really enjoy Chetney and Imogen’s relationship. They snipe at each other a lot but when the chips are down, they got each others back.

Imogen’s like Chet’s an Son of a bitch, but he’s OUR son of a bitch.

FUCK ME but EXU: Calamity really DID run the gauntlet of Tragic Heroes.

The Senior Sightwarden for the Eyes of Avalir, the public defender who realizes too late that the work he has poured his life into was fundamentally flawed, and yet he still let it take priority over watching his children grow up. Before the world ends, solving one final mystery - taking the time to look at the life they’ve left behind, and discovering for the first time, how incredible they were.

The Keeper of Scrolls, the prolific academic, who has prized knowledge above all else - family, friendships, herself - her whole life, only discovering in the last moments before the apocalypse what could have been done to prevent it.

The Dragon, the greatest negotiator and businessman in the world, burned from within by molten gold coins because he was unable, in the moments before the end, to convince his closest friends to listen to him before they made a horrible decision.

The Voice of Avalir, the Changeling, who left the Fey Wild behind for this realm of magic and progress and imagination, the faerie who fell in love with a mortal, the trusted face and voice to an entire people, and the man who at the end, died alone, in silence, his own face hidden under the mask of the goddess of death.

The Architect Arcane, the woman who knew more about the theoretical possibilities of magic than anyone else alive, who gave up everything - her life, her love, her self - to relentlessly pursue progress, only to watch powerlessly as her closest companions fall to a power for which she has no basis for understanding.

And the Knight of Avalir. The Good Man, the Widower, the Protector, the one who believed in the good in all people, no matter who they were or what they had done. The one who sold his soul to the devil for the chance of a chance to save his son, the one whose goodness was not enough to stop the evil that sought to return to the world… But.

Zerxus’s final act before he was fully lost was enough to restore one man, one archmage, for just the few seconds he needed to buy a bit more time, to give this extraordinary group of people a few more hours, just a few, to mitigate the inevitable damage as much as was possible - and that small gift of time was what turned each tragic ending on its head, and gave these people the chance to come together one final time for the good of the world.

Laerryn, turning her life’s work into just the tool that was needed to prevent full-scale annihilation, who at the end when asked what she had done, was finally able to say that she had done her best.

Loquatius, who turns down the chance to return to his people, who rouses the public to have hope and unite as one to face this danger, and whose final words of magical power are not for the public, but for his beloved alone, as he softly begs her, “Do not leave me.” Who spends his true final moments in the place where he belongs - in the arms of the woman he loves.

Nydas, who rallies his pirates and businessmen to the ships to save as many as possible, commanding them to leave behind the goods and the gold, because the people of Avalir are the true treasure, and saving them is worth any price that can be paid.

Patia, who discards all notions of status and propriety as the world falls around her, who ensures that the students she brought into this city to study are safe, and who takes in her hands everything she has ever learned and sends it away - to a young girl, far away from the destruction, who has the best chance of anyone she knows to ensure that some of what was learned was not lost.

And Cerrit. The one and only surviving member of the Ring of Brass. Who takes the one chance he gets to flee his city as it collapses around him, flying as fast and as hard as he can, desperate to survive, to keep his promise to his children, to make it home and do his absolute best to protect and save his family.

They couldn’t have stopped The Calamity. That was always going to be beyond them. But in the end, they were the reason that there was something of the world left after the dust settled. Their story was always going to end in tragedy. But because of them, the rest of the world was able to move forward in hope.

The situation the Bell's Hells find themselves in really reminds me of Lord of the Rings.

Because they are not powerful enough.

They cannot face the villains head-on and win.

Even their most powerful allies cannot face the villains head-on and win.

So what do they do?

What they can.

They destroy a Key in the Feywild. They damage power sources. They try to negate some of the harm being done. They sacrifice their skyship and bring in an unexpected and overlooked ally.

And the things they do are the few that actually seem to throw the enemies. The small disruptions. Hard-won chinks in the armor of machinations a thousand years in the making.

Our heroes aren't going to win by overpowering this enemy.

They're going to win by doing what they can, by giving everything they have because, unlike their enemies, they are not simply fighting for themselves.

They are fighting for each other.

Watched Campaign 1 this summer and kept a running list of moments I hoped to see in s2. Tried to pick some obscure ones instead of just the obvious hits! Makes it more challenging.

“I have to stay away from any spoilers!” I say, as if i haven’t watched campaign 1 six full times and know exactly what will happen. “Oh no, what if I get a hint!!“ Girl, you have the Lady Vex’ahlia speech memorized and know the exact damage stats of the first skirmish with Raishan, don’t kid yourself

Campaign 2 Episode 115: Fetching Fables & Frosty Friends

3:14:35 Holy Shit I Think Youre Right

Hey I think I just accidentally figured out Ludinus backstory

So I’m watching campaign 2 at the same time I’m watching campaign 3 and I’m on episode 78.

Caleb was reading a book about the history of magic and it says that the Empire descends from an ancient society that felt they had outgrown the gods and thus sought to destroy them.

Now apparently they were technologically/magically advanced enough to pose a real threat so the prime deities joined forces with the BETRAYER GODS and annihilated that society.

Before that the most powerful mage of the society thought he had found a way to change the tides of the war, he made some sort of mysterious ritual… and then he disappear and was never heard from again.

That has to be Ludinus Daleth. It all fits

His connection to the empire

The little speech he made about having outgrown the gods

A perfect motivation to hate the gods and calling them hypocrites

His reference to having seen the Calamity (if this theory is true he would be much older than the Calamity).

That’s Ludinus and the way he found to win the war against the gods was Ruidus, the moon that contains 2 entities that hunts the gods.
