Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Specifically, it's reasonable confirmation about which enemy's action it is. I wonder how/if Cat will figure it out, since no one saw the foreshadowing that we did.
I rather enjoyed the detective work of this chapter. And both claimant's approaches to solving the dwarves.

SpoilerIt is possible for a name to be shared, so why not a joint Warden of the West?The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

All the same, who is responsible for this is a nobrainer. We have 2 proto-named manipulated.
Its not the dead king doing this.
Maybe that was a possibility, but this chapter explains why that won't work here. Both Hanno and Cordelia are going all in. One can't succeed without the other losing.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Bard was setting Hanno and Cordelia on collision course via Red Axe. The foreshadowing was them disagreeing and maybe Hanno losing fingers at the Arsenal. I don't think it extends to the conflict now. I guess EE had the eventual confrontation about Warden of the West planned out at the time.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
I find it possible the Author had planned stuff that far out. Though im not convinced its the case.
And i do think people are grasping if they think Hanno losing fingers were relevant enough to be forshadowed.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Some of the epigraphs from the earliest books have been referencing things so far out I have to give some benefit of the doubt to EE for planning ahead here. Even if the pacing in the final product is so rough.
And looked like the sort of things that could be fitted in if you directly wanted to find references.
As for the current situation. It does look like a titanic mess.
I am honestly curious about how Cat is going to defuse it.
Since both Hanno and Cordelia is rather vital for the war.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
I'm of the belief that the idea that "Cat needs to fix this" is going to be proven to be a mistake, in-setting and out.
The Warden of the West is her equal and opposite. Her having a hand in creating the role weakens it, or perhaps even makes it untenable; possibly resulting in the collapse of both their roles.
I suspect any move she makes to "solve" the issue (particularly since it seems to be implied she's ignoring a very important piece of info because it doesn't fit her narrative) is only going to make things worse.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Personally I think Cat is narratively forbidden from interfering in Western politics, and she is going to have to learn it the hard way. The League and Dominion both turned to her for guidance already, they need to go to the Warden of the West.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Keep in mind that Hakram is coming as of the next evening. Considering that they are due a talk, and Hakram has direct experience of 'what to do with a former claimant' in a way that Cat doesn't, I don't think it immediately goes to 'Cat will learn the hard way....AGAIN!'

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
If they talk to the Herald together, one presenting an emotional appeal and the other a logical deal. It's a weak victory for each philosophy (assuming he is actually convinced), but also not an outright loss for either unless the Herald calls out one of them as the one that convinced him (either to agree or to refuse).

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
I could see this if she meets with him specifically as the 'keeper of black laws' as the Warden of the East. Playing the 'worst nightmare' before the meeting in a way comparable to the meeting with Mercantis. THat way she 'sticks to her lane' in not interfering directly with the Warden of the West, but instead forcing the claimants into a room to sort out their differences with perhaps some planning before hand but a alot of inspired work in the moment as well. In this case, it won't be pre arranged signaling that would coordinate Hanno and Cordelia, but the shared Role driving them.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
I was more thinking along the lines of
'Since support for the campaign against the Dead King is so lacking, we will instead evacuate to Callow, and prepare to leave the continent altogether. As our allies we figured you deserved a warning that the Dead King would now be able to bypass your encirclement.'Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Yeah that seems legit. If you knife us we get to knife you back. Plus by the time the evil rules come back I imagine the lands will firmly be story entrenched as KotD lands, so the dwarves can't take them.
Edit: alternatively Akua makes a new hellgun and they just open permanent uncontrolled rifts all over KotD's lands so he is swarmed by devils. There aren't any rules to stop her open right now.Last edited by Tvtyrant; 2021-09-02 at 06:10 PM.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
That sounds like an exceptionally bad strategy against a man who made his name by conquering a hell. Sure, it would take him some time, but his victory would be all but guaranteed even if he doesn't take Cat's approach and convert as many Praesi diabolists as he can get his skeletal hands on.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Well. Nice to have the adult back in the room.
I did like Hakram's end comment. Perhaps he will also be able to untangle the mess between the two Warden claimants.
And i do find it a little funny. That so far one of the most emotionally stable people in the story has been an orc xDthnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
Is the story on hiatus until April 2022?
I could be misreading, but that's what I took away.The end of what Son? The story? There is no end. There's just the point where the storytellers stop talking.

Re: A Practical Guide to Evil III: A Series of Unfortunate Peace Treaties
From what? There's no announcement saying that... Are you possibly misreading the placeholder post for the 'extra chapters' that are patreon exclusive until the end of the book? As of April 2021 (I think, don't remember precisely when it changed), the extra chapters showing backstory for alternative characters are reserved only for paying supporters but the regular story updates normally.
