Back at Camp Broken Glass, we inform the company of what has transpired, and they in turn inform us that we've manage to cure several of Maximus' allies of tempering. These fellow populares have been able to fill us in on exactly what's been happening here in Garlemald.

Ah. The Ist is loyal to Varis. I wonder what they wanted, with Varis dead? Or did they just oppose Nerva taking the throne?

Ooh! New name! Titus. Hrm. You make it sound like he's specifically a former political rival. Is he dead now or is he simply too old? He'd be Varis' Uncle, after all. Did Solus only have two kids, or were there more?

And, yo, that was the rumor we started. Is it gonna turn out that yes, we indeed did light the spark that burnt Garlemald to the ground?

I also find it telling that there was no faction fighting for Zenos to take the throne, despite him being the heir apparent. Poor bastard seriously didn't have anyone that liked him even for political reasons.

Ah, so Elidibus' systematic disposal of Varis' political enemies didn't go quite as unnoticed as he let Varis believe. There was quite a political storm brewing in Garlemald before Varis died.

So those loyal to Varis claim the assassination was part of a coup as a means to contest Nerva's claim to the throne. Thus, the Ist and the IIIrd started a civil war.

And into that mess poured the coffers of House Brutus, courtesy of "Asahi."

After their tempering, the victims have no memories, save being ordered by Emperor Varis to construct the "Tower of Babil."

Sensing something familiar, we present our friends with Licinia's radio, and fill them in about being told Varis spoke through it.

Sorry, I don't get it.

Oh come on. No. That's ridiculous.

*grumble grumble* Nidhana did all that work and... *grumble grumble*

*Sigh*

Okay, okay, the lore for that ore is... it's from Locus Amoenus? Which is what the Garleans renamed Corvus. Which is where G'raha is from, and used to be big important for the Allagans. Ah yes. Probably something to do with them, then.

Fine. I will accept this. It's more tragically compelling to have a handful of non-tempered Garleans around to provide points of view anyway, and that has to happen somehow. And this is really just a minor part of an otherwise very compelling plot. And it is good that this essentially happened by accident.

But I want the jury to know I think this explanation is stupid.

*mutters darkly*

Okay, it's not stupid. It's just... it's too coincidental for my suspension of disbelief to be happy with it. I'd be happier if it was the radio entirely that did it, like, it radiated protection while it was running or something. As opposed to the ore.

Regardless, I still don't get it. How does the radio acting like a warding scale explain them thinking they heard Varis talking to them through it?

...Nope, still doesn't explain Varis.

Hrm. So. I theorized that the Telophoroi had somehow managed to turn the Empire itself into a primal. Like, the idea of the Empire, they summoned it.

So maybe... ? Since Varis was the last Emperor, that is part of how this primal manifests?

Suddenly an inturption!

This is Jullus. He was caught stealing supplies. He also does not believe we are here to help.

Nice. Let him keep some dignity. That could help smooth things over with-

Haha, nope.

Jullus will take no more than 3 people to meet with his commander. It's almost cute. He thinks he has the power here.

And plus me makes 3. I am concerned about the twins' motivation here. Yes, we have seen firsthand the hardships that the Garleans are facing, but I worry that your sympathy for them will leave you vulnerable when we essentially walk in the front door of an active military base.

LOL Jullus, oh, this should be fun.

A TMS breakthrough

Last week, for me, was nothing short of astonishing. We were on holiday for a week in the place we are moving to just as soon as the legalities are through so it was, in a sense, a taster of our future life. We also attended a four day music festival, which is one hell of a stretch for someone who had her most recent flare-up of ME/CFS just a few short months ago. I had not attempted anything so…
