Happy Pride To My Eladrin Ithmaris Caesin, Who For The Last Two Junes In A Row Has Had Deep, Impactful

Happy Pride to my eladrin Ithmaris Caesin, who for the last two Junes in a row has had deep, impactful conversations with her love interest where their love interested has tried desperately to communicate the importance of Mar valuing her own life, so that she stays alive, because damnit people CARE about her, and it is because of said love interest that Mar has something to live for for the first time in their life and even as Ithmaris is crushed under the weight of loss and grief and guilt and the utter destruction of losing herself, even then, there is a ship guiding her safely to harbor and it is holding her hand and making her lunch and risking everything she's made for a chance at helping Ithmaris get her mother back.

Oh yes, Nemesis definitely hates her.

characters with no moral code are a lot of fun but characters with their own specific moral code that doesn’t align with the rest of the/their world are on another level always

Fine. Fine fine fine fine, if NO ONE ELSE is gonna talk about Tales from Cazilor/Tales from Cazilor: The Golden Era, I WILL!

With the introduction of the squad roles (Stalwart, Climber, Anchor), I Deeply need to know what role Apollo and Arthur (from the OG album) fill. What was their training like? Are they Blessed? Gifted? We know Apollo was from Domita, but what about Arthur?

Given what little we know, I think Apollo would have willingly joined the Mazmus. (AKA doesn't need to be Blessed, would have willingly made the choice). Being in Domita during its fall and seeing all that destruction could spur anyone to join the Mazmus to make sure it never happened again. And with how much care Apollo has ("dying for a friend is a hell of a way to die" and all of "I Hope I Die Alone"), he feels like the type of person that would push through any hardship if it meant protecting those he cares about. Not necessarily from a sense of duty, but from a love for others.

Arthur, on the other hand, feels like someone who was born Blessed because he is So duty-bound. He "had no fond memories", dreams only of killing Toltag, never rests, etc. He kind of reminds me of Arge in TGE except to the extreme--born Blessed, told he is meant for greatness and has a duty to do Great Things. Except Arge is serving in a more peaceful time, and Arthur has likely only been serving after the fall of Domita, so there is more urgency, more pressure for Arthur. Arthur strikes me as the type that has had a singular goal--killing Toltag and ending the war--hammered into him since birth, and that would mean it is more likely than not that he would be Blessed.

This is, of course, assuming that the relationship between being Blessed and the Mazmus selection and training is consistent between the album and TGE. Which I guess isn't something we'll really know until the source books is released, Naethan reveals more information, and/or another album is released.

Join me for more theories and thoughts I scream into the void while Cazilor has no fandom, thank you thank you.

If you are not listening to Tales From Cazilor: The Golden Era you are MISSING OUT! Cause hollllyyyyyyy shit that last episode
