    Default The Scrying Eye in 698

    So, Rich, you're positive that was Zz'dtri and not Serini, and you didn't say Zz'dtri to throw us off the path? I mean... green... and Serini did say she was watching everyone visit the Gates.

    I think he's quite positive. Among other things, it explains how Nale knew the order was in the desert.

    There's really no reason for it to be from Serini rather than Zz'dtri. It set up for Zz'dtri's return, while it doesn't tell us anything new about Serini.

    I second what everyone else is saying; there's no reason for it to be Serini, and it being Zz'dtri suits the narrative tremendously well.

    The Giant isn't one to lie about things almost explicitly in the text in hopes of "throwing people off", anyways. Especially when doesn't serve any particular purpose for the story, dramatic or otherwise.

    If you buy the book, Blood runs in the family, you can see Zz'dtri casting the green eye in the pyramid, bonus comic #855a. And the imp even gives the advice to scry on the cat, just like what happened in the desert.

    The Giant made it really, really clear it was Zz'dtri, at least for paying readers.

    So... would the eye be a major character with only one appearance?

    Obviously, the new ally will be Redcloak's niece, riding the green dragon girl from the next woods over, using the eye to scry on the Order, planeshifted to Xykon's secret astral fortress by Randy, with a resurrected Fruit Pie the Sorcerer as comic relief.

    The eye is a manifestation of Zz'dtri's spell.

    Plot twist: Zz'dtri was, since the very beginning, Serini in disguise. And she only pretended to be killed by the undead Durkon, an act she was quite experienced with thanks to what happened with Xykon.

    Hold on ... are we sure it was not Miko?
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    EDIT: Plus bringing back Miko would completely undercut her character arc, and that Rich said that it would not happen.
