I had forgotten that lotus flowers could be eaten! Great source of protein, apparently?

I hear they're also used for some medicinal purposes. Were the Shambhala River lotus flowers used in medicine? Did the Goddess's blessing make them even more effective?

The Shambhalans loved to put it in stir fry or soup!

Yeah they did probably also use them in medicine, just not very often. Not because they were especially powerful, but because they wanted to keep certain numbers of them at all times. If they had excess they'd be more likely to use them for food than medicine since the people of Shambhala tend to be pretty healthy.

Illness wasn't very common among their numbers even if they leave and were exposed to outside sickness, so it's not very often that they would've had to make use of them that way. They could be made into good medicine by normal standards, but they're not magically medicinal. The most common use seen would be eating a few lotus seeds during pregnancy.

I didn't you were part of Das Spork... Talk about a blast from the past!

anyvay, I was wondering where you saw that Shambala was specifically a vault for a flood, and that Sothis flooded the continent instead of restoring it

Also, do you think Three Hopes engaging enough to hold the attention of someone that doesn't care for musou games?

I don't talk a ton about it anymore, but I had some fun while I was there :)

anyvay, I was wondering where you saw that Shambala was specifically a vault for a flood, and that Sothis flooded the continent instead of restoring it

I'll tackle the second question first, there's quite a bit of evidence now between Houses and Hopes that Fodlan suffered a biblical-esque flood:

It seems the ancient Agarthans had enough forewarning that the flood was coming to destroy the world.

Now, interestingly, the Book of Seiros actually supports this:

It tells the story of Fodlan appearing amidst a great ocean, and the goddess creating life upon it.

Rhea tells of the world destroyed by war and then restored by Sothis, just as the Book of Sothis does. Fans have long believed that the Agarthans ravaged the surface through use of their Javelins of Light, but as I demonstrated in an older post of mine, they don't seem nearly destructive enough for that.

Interestingly, Rhea doesn't mention a flood, so clearly either her or the Agarthans are lying (by omission, in Rhea's hypothetical case).

In the case of Shambhala, Lorenz notes that the air within is stale:

Air gets stagnant if it doesn't have enough fresh air circulating inside, suggesting that Shambhala is airtight. You wouldn't necessarily need to make the city airtight if you're just hiding from detection within it, but it would be absolutely necessary to built it that way if you're trying to escape an apocalyptic flood on the surface.

So to sum it up, my theory is that Sothis at some point flooded the surface, either to wipe out the Agarthans in one fell swoop or to cleanse it of the damage of the war, then let the waters recede and started over from scratch with life on Fodlan. Sothis has a very God of the Old Testament vibe about her (a creator deity, creates offspring on her own, fire and water symbolism, a sacrifice, jealous, quick to anger, has a chosen people and land, exists in multiple ways at one time), so it definitely fits her.

Also, do you think Three Hopes engaging enough to hold the attention of someone that doesn't care for musou games?

Have you tried a musou game before? The formula is rather addicting once you get used to it, but if it's not your style you honestly might be better off watching you tube videos of the cutscenes instead, or you'll very quickly get bored during chapters.

"You don’t know how to take off your suit of armor. You have no idea how to conduct yourself without the reference point of your own security. The challenge of warriorship is to step out of the cocoon, to step out into space, by being brave and at the same time gentle. You can expose your wounds and flesh, your sore points. You can be completely raw and exposed with your husband or your wife, your banker, your landlord, anyone you meet."

Chögyam Trungpa, “Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior”

+

Sufi teachers, good ones, energetically unveil and open their hearts, exposing all their wounds, at some point during a talk or retreat, giving other folks permission to radically open.

Many Native American teachers, during a sacred talk or retreat, will bring themselves to tears for the same reason.

Shambhala is an elusive mythical Buddhist paradise reserved for the pure of heart. The land of a thousand names, to some it is a physical location, whereas for others it is a spiritual destination.

Do the lotuses and the river goddess and surrounding legends have a lot of influence on the fashion and aesthetic design in Shambhala? Are there any taboos that a borne of those legends?

Oh for sure. There were a lot of weavers and embroiderers in Shambhala who incorporated lotus flowers into their designs. Water and lotus flowers definitely make up a lot of repeated imagery that shows up in art and their nice clothing.

No real taboos honestly. The people of Shambhala are generally pretty free to do as they may as long as it doesn't involve hurting anyone.

They're also very tasty in cuisine! Though the inhabitants only eat a few during certain holidays. Like the Qixi Festival
