I'm losing it a little over just how well they set the Aequilibria up as a threat and make the players feel it in just this one quest
They'd been setting up how dangerous that manatech bomb was for five years. The moment it first showed up on screen, we saw Warlic scared by it for reasons he couldn't articulate. When Akanthus took it to be modified, we saw Amadeus wary of it. We saw what it leaking even a little bit did to Yix. Even without the Mechquest context, the game has been blaring at us, for five years, that this thing is Bad News, as loudly as they possibly could
and then it goes off
it goes off in the worst possible circumstances it could, hits us with five years of built up dread, we failed, we were too late, and...
...nothing happens. The aftereffects of this deadly threat that could've wiped Swordhaven off the map just dissipate in a few seconds.
And we get that moment of relief, that joy that Akanthus was wrong, that realisation that the thing we thought was under threat is more resilient than we feared, that moment of oh, the mana core is stronger than that
And then the Aequilibria wake up
And we get hit with it again, but this time it's
oh
The mana core is stronger than that

A thought just hit me
When we reach the mana core and ESPECIALLY when we meet the Aequilibria, it's this blinding white hue with iridescent colors slowly changing along
Which is a strikingly similar color scheme now, isn't it?
Almost reminds me of... something, someone
Someone like Elpis
And if I remember properly, it was mentioned *somewhere*, although I can't find where, that the Void Core is basically the Mirror of the Mana Core, and is connected to it, hence why Aspar sought to destabilize it (Update : nope it's just a theory I read online, ignore that. Still, the other connection is still glaring)
So... what if the reason Aegis couldn't find Tomix's ES form in the Plane Of Elemental Spirits is that he wasn't here... but rather Elpis has been trapped here, in the Mana Core, this whole time

DragonFable Spoilers:
Damn it, I wanted to beat the hell out of the Akanthus. This is disappointing.

hey, so, uh *gestures at the Core whose power and/or destruction is coveted for the ability to achieve a goal* *gestures at the isolated architecture of a civilisation with a connection to said Core who are not currently present* *gestures at the villain with genuine pain in his past who nonetheless CHOSE evil and did not have to be this way and this is very clear*
we have been here before

Obedience.
Hesperrodhos, because I think they're cool and scary at the same time. Was also doing this to try out some stuff with brushes and shading
A little whack imo, but I think I nailed it

Something feels so familiar about this orb we saw in the latest release
Like I had seen these symbols before
On something important
Something that has fascinated me for years
Whose purpose is yet a mystery to me
Will we finally learn more about the Drakylon cube? Is it one of its contemporaries?
I have SO MANY QUESTIONS
