A smaller but super interesting thing in the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn are all the new tidbits that feel to me as connected to the lore built out for the upcoming Call of the Netherdeep.

"For eons, this mighty champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him. [...] this adventure begins in the Wastes of Xhorhas and leads to the glimmering oasis-city of Ank'Harel on the continent of Marquet, and from there into a sunken realm of gloom, corruption, and sorrow known as the Netherdeep. Above it all, the red moon of Ruidus watches, twisting the fates of those who have the power to shape the course of history." (Call of the Netherdeep)

Prologue to the Song of Alyxian O Ruidus, grant humble chorus leave // To sing the song which hails the zenith of // Your accurséd, thrice-blessed Apotheon; // Remember'd best by deeds in war, and yet // Whose acts were driven oft by fate most foul. His kindly brow bore gifts from gods of change, // And art, and moon, yet in his soul was pain, // The suffering of your vermilion light // Drove the Paragon to a desert realm // Bestrewn with blades and drenched // in crimson blood. So hear, O moon of curséd deeds and fates! // The song of he who rose above your great // And mighty pow'r, to save Exandria. // From flames of war fanned by the Ruiner's blade. (TCSR 10)

"One tale even tells of a champion blessed by three of the gods in their times of greatest need. Now all but forgotten, this Apotheon was forced by fate into terrible battles across the world." (TCSR 15)

"Some well-preserved ruins of the ancient civilizations remain, such as the Drowned City of Cael Morrow in the lands of Marquet..." (TCSR 16)

"This sandy wasteland is rumored to have once been verdant jungle brought to ruin by the spear of the Ruiner in the Calamity. Some stories tell of a great hero that sacrificed himself to save Marquet from utter annihilation, but only scattered fragments of this tale endure." (TCSR 146)

"...the grand city of Ank'Harel, known as the Jewel of Hope. This city, built atop the Drowned City of Cael Morrow..." (TCSR 146)

Hmm?

@eiriini replied to your post

“(( Hm… Queen Corrin…. ))”

[ Do iiittttt ]

(( alright I got the blessing of miss queen kamui so queen corrin time: ))

It's about 5 years from the end of Fates to Corrin’s Coronation as Queen Regent of Valla alongside her Consort.

Likely within Year 1 she has an Actual Wedding with whoever she eloped with during the war (which, ofc, I’m still on my bullshit and it defaults to Mr. Subaki). There was a small ceremony during the war (likely lead by Sakura, actually, given the timeline of Rev; regardless of Subaki being her husband or not Sakura IS a member of the clergy + with The Party the longest compared to, say, Azama) but it’s nice to have an Actual Wedding ya feel? How pushy she is about it depends on who she marries, because for some partners they’re definitely going to be pushier than her (read: Subaki wants to give her the world and that means he practically demands having an actual wedding even though their small ceremony during the war was already pretty planned out by a small rushed ceremony’s standards)

She spends a lot of time trying to split her time between her family as best she can so that everyone can get her attention properly now that the blades are down and things have settled.

also working as part of a lot of humanitarian efforts to help rebuild after the war and help folks get back on their feet.

and she’s studying up on the political policies of her brothers and other nations to synthesize the best approach for Valla when she figures out what she wants to do because she has no clue about what’s up with ruling and might as well learn from examples

I think she does spend some time spelunking Down There in Valla to learn what she can about her heritage, and isn’t quite sure if she wants to refound the kingdom or just let it peacefully die and be only a historical memory... it’s a tough call.

As for learning who Dad is, I think she ultimately pries it out of Lilith after some quick deduction with regards to her draconic capabilities + poking about it. She’s a little fucked about it, and likely apologizes to Azura on Anankos’s behalf, but ultimately the bad feelings pass rather quickly since she’s a lot more emotionally adjusted after Fates and understands Anankos was hardly a father at all to her. What she mostly mourns is family that she never got to know.

I think what ultimately sways her to refounding Valla is thinking about if Nohr and Hoshido broke out into war again, and thinking hey maybe I try to make a kingdom that’s best of both worlds + a country founded on the notion of being a neutral party/mediator in affairs.

So some petitioning and requesting of land gets factored into prior mentions of humanitarian efforts, she starts asking around if anyone’s willing to give Valla 2.0 a shot and works out how best to divy up land received from Nohr and Hoshido

Anyways as for how long she rules, that’s a tough question and relies heavily on the unanswered one of how long she and her descendants will live. Dragons in FE have shown to be more likely killed by one (1) anime dude with a sword and the power of friendship than of old age, so their lifespan near as we can tell is basically infinite, but Corrin is also human and that probably mixes shit up a bit. I imagine she’s gonna live for a couple millenia at least, I wanna say maybe like 10k tops? A LONG ass time in terms of human years, but she will eventually die. Eventually.

She tries to rule gently as much as possible, and is known for frequently talking with her people as well as being a passionate patron of the arts. She also eventually uses Dragon Veins to help establish a garden that persists for quite some time and becomes a popular destination for those come to visit the kingdom of Valla.

she likely retires from ruling after a century or a few, perhaps 500 years max, after feeling she’s set a long and good enough example. She’s a capable leader and a natural diplomat, but it certainly takes a toll on her and she doesn’t think its something she could do for the rest of her life. Not to mention she believes that the kingdom shouldn’t come to rely on her leadership and can ultimately stagnate if she rules too long

this retirement manifests as two stages: first she initially stays in Valla for some time to make sure her nation transitions smoothly, but eventually she goes to the Sevenfold Sanctuary and takes up residence there, occasionally going out and about to travel the world but largely staying there and observing matters of the world and allowing those who seek power or her guidance to come test their mettle. She is an Old Wise Lady in Retirement, after all.

Also she holds onto Yato for awhile, but eventually the sword is kept as an heirloom of the Vallite royal family just as Siegfried, Raijinto, Brynhildr, and Fujin Yumi had been in Nohr and Hoshido.

all this isn’t to say that she won’t come and verbally bitchslap an inheritor of her kingdom  if she’s displeased with how they’re running things. She’ll still be quite vocal about political matters, even if she’s not ruling anymore, and she is happy to offer her advice or come put in a word (or mindful claw) to help settle disputes.

Her consort WILL die long, long before her or her kids... im emo...

Speaking of kids, she likely lets to original trio (Twin Kanas and [Caeldori]) get first dibs on most matters that pass down to them, be it just things to inherit from her or opportunities offered. Whether either Kana or their sibling take the throne next is very dependent on the family, and in the case of Subaki’s family I think Caeldori is willing to take the challenge head on.

they are also likely not Corrin’s only kids. She’ll always fondly remember her first partner, absolutely, the bond that’s there is one she will always feel the keenest, but ultimately will come to understand that she’s going to live a very long time and that love can be found again, so she’ll probably pick up extra lovers and spouses over the ages and every other century one might hear of a new dragon kid running around. Such a rumor decreases over time, however, since fertility issues might start coming up from being. you know. fucking old.

as for how long her kids live, their lifespans have a shot at being as long as Corrin’s, but likely not a day longer and very likely shorter in terms of raw numbers. The Kanas and [Cael] might pass around the same time as Corrin, due to their ages being so relatively close (a mere decade instead of hundreds of years), but anyone after that might live a fair bit longer due to the disparity in ages.

As for degeneration, it likely starts setting in eventually, and Azura’s lineage does help stave it off quite a bit with magic singing, but eventually I think Corrin chooses to pass on while she’s still fairly sane. She records everything of her story she can in every detail she can think of for the sake of historical records, and then to her descendants and still living children she spends a day or a few telling them all such things herself before being quietly put down, passing on peacefully and with far less struggle than her father.

down the line she is remembered fondly by all and, in some circles, as a goddess (and her children folded into the pantheon as well), which she would find rather amusing... depends on how much you wanna argue she’s still watching from the afterlife.

[wereah]

whats chimera academy about it sounds cool

You are in luck, nonny! @dailyrandomwriter wrote up an EXCELLENT summary of Chimera Academy!

Definition of Chimera

While it can be a reference to the mythical monster or a term used to describe an unnatural hybrid of creatures, it can also mean a thing that is wished for but is illusionary or impossible to achieve, or a delusion. - a definition provided from DM

Chimera Academy

Chimera Academy is about an arcane preparatory school (that is, a magical high school) set in the backdrop of an Empire that has recently undergone political upheaval in the past two-three years.

Of course, the students of the academy are just students, the actions of adults have nothing to do with them… (smiley)

This is a written role play using the D&D 5e rule set, so in other words, this is a D&D campaign. The story revolves around four students.

Salron and Emmi, twin tieflings who entered the academy on a full scholarship. They originate from a Foundling House (that is an orphanage), their mother having died when they were ten and having never met their father. They have discovered through old letters that their father is/was a professor at Chimera Academy. While attending the Academy keeps them from having to work at the fish market, they hope to find their father.

Currently: They have found their father, the impish satyr Professor Sullivan who works as the combat professor (teaching combat and evocation) at the academy. He has a twin brother Professor Samson who teaches alchemy and transmutation. They’re working on custody at the current moment, though the girls aren’t asking why their mother left their father, but that’s a completely different kettle of fish.

Dorothea Deathshade, a merchant girl whose family sells potions and rare potion ingredients. Her father, who was a former adventurer, used his wealth to help his wife start a potion business. As a first generation merchant with wealth, Dorothea’s mother is determined to make sure her daughter succeeds in life. In an Empire that holds the taught arcane arts (wizardry) in the highest regard (think of it as a STEM field) she is determined that Dorothea becomes a wizard in order to have a successful career. Attending the academy is the first time Dorothea is out of the control of her mother.

Currently: In an act of recklessness (and maybe unconscious rebellion), Dorothea consumed the Hunter’s Bane potion (called in the world the Alchemist’s Pact potion) in hopes of becoming more like the professor she looks up to, and to have a something that is her own. She’s 14 years old, they’re stupid at that age, cut her some slack. This throws her into the world of a long gone order called the Blessed Guardians, an order of Blood Hunters who make pacts with Celestials.

Finally Cael Eutis, a noble boy from one of the major noble families. His family is known as the House of the Silver Sun and the Emperor’s Inquisitors. A title that has gained a bit more fear than usual over the past few years as his eldest brother’s investigation resulted in the execution of Lord Talsheer and Lord Lucertia about two years prior to current events. He is the youngest of four children and as such he is free to do as he wishes. Cael has just enough sense of duty to care about his family’s legacy, but lazy enough that he’ll just go along with whatever his family wants without care.

Currently: In the course of the story, it was discovered that the Eutis’ oath to protect the people of the Empire came from an oath they made when the Blessed Guardians were killed unjustly. Their connection to the last of the Blessed Guardians is a long one, as Professor Dittany (the last of his order) has been the guide parent of the Eutis since their rise as a major noble family. It was also discovered that Cael’s father Quinn Eutis knows Dorothea’s father Wilhelm, but that’s a story for another time. Cael feels responsible for the events that led to Dorothea becoming a Blood Hunter due to sharing a memory (and a bit of personal trauma) using magic. He uses his knowledge of the hunters and his position as an Eutis to help Dorothea where he can. And he wonders why people think the two are courting.

And that is Chimera Academy so far. Note from DM, this was practice in how to do a mystery and intrigue, but this has honestly become a slice of life campaign with arcane shenanigans thrown in. People wonder why a certain magic school that shall not be named was such a shit show, that’s because a child’s world is small and just includes themselves. Unless you put in dangerous things (like potion recipes that children should not consume) they would be most likely to go through their whole school career and be perfectly fine.

Maybe… probably…

I’m sure no one would have died if they were perfectly normal students…
