Re: Aurora
My bad, I thought Tynan was in the habit of completely destroying cities, which would if I understand how it works correctly, kill the associated gods, or at least reduce them to almost nothing, but his thing is actually feeding on the fear of the survivors. So I guess he could have ravaged Zuurith way back when before meeting Vash.

Re: Aurora
So I'm either late to this realization or early to it, because I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere yet, but the black voice from the start of the comic is absolutely the Void Dragon, directing the creation of a race with elemental affinity so it can engineer its freedom.

Re: Aurora
The way I understand it (mostly based on what Ilia said to Kendal and how the Collector explained the reason why she had to destroy Vash (the city) before she could capture Vash( the god)'s soul) destroying the locus/physical domain of a god is not lethal in itself, and nor does it drastically reduce their potential on the short run (as demonstrated in the first chapter). Tynan's comment implies it would have long term consequences, but I'm not sure it's ever been established that a god cannot acquire a new domain/rebuild the old one in case it gets destroyed.

Re: Aurora
I've been thinking about this, and I suspect it means the that the interference was a deliberate maneuver by the Light Dragon to stymie him (see her champion for energy color comparison).
Further, I speculate that it means the Eighth Element is soul, and that it's not readily workable by mages because it is under the control of an active primordial.

Re: Aurora
Yeah I've been assuming/theorizing that the reason the 8th element can't be detected is because, unlike the other 7, its primordial isn't bound into the foundations of the universe, neither as part of those foundations like the main six nor imprisoned in them like the Void Dragon.

Re: Aurora
I think Zurith is learning the reason why other gods design their bodies to act without their precise control. You don't get a very resilient system if you have to micromanage everything yourself all the time...

Re: Aurora
Did you mean "cities" instead of "bodies"? Because if so, I think the city gods are supposed to be reflections of the general outlook of the city's inhabitants, which means that Zuurith is the way he is because that's the way the Zuurithians at large think the guy in charge ought to be. Of course, as unquestionned leaders of their cities, the gods have a vast ability to shape what that city is like, so you end up with an egg-chicken issue. Are the Zuurithians like that because of Zuurith or is Zuurith like that because of them? Probably a self-fulfilling prophecy/vicious (or virtuous depending) cycle situation.

Re: Aurora
Nope I meant bodies, Zurith referenced it here. https://comicaurora.com/aurora/1-12-25/
The avatars they inhabit are designed by the gods and designing an avatar where everything is manually run isn't an efficient one.Awesome Avatar by Derjuin

Re: Aurora
Hahaha okay I did not expect Alinua to take that approach. That last panel is great, looks like Life is willing to assist here as well going by the glowing eyes

Re: Aurora
Nah, I agree with Fyraltari; the conveniently-portable version of the archives is (I would guess) how the main gang is going to be able to continue researching the truth about things. Unless they steal it outright (which yeah, would make them pretty implacable enemies) the crew is getting another member.

Re: Aurora
The paladins that just sealed themselves from the outside world for an indefinite amount of time?
No I think the flying champion will be the antagonistic one, trying to off the Void Dragon/Erin.
Also, it's detail but I think it'd be noce for her to join because with her and Tess, the party becomes gender-balanced instead of male-dominated like around 90% of fantasy.Forum Wisdom

Re: Aurora
Nah, all the other paladins from the same continent that are doing their best to converge on Erin as we speak.
That said, I also expect the Junior Archivist to join the party sooner than later. That it would make for glorious and novel intra-party conflict is really a fetaure, rather than a bug.Last edited by Metastachydium; 2022-03-28 at 08:34 AM.

Re: Aurora
Tynan does not handle being not treated seriously well. Especially by someone he expects should be terrified.
I wonder if the blade's reaction is due to the property of the sword or Vash channeling more of his power into the blade through his link with Kendal (The person not the sword).Awesome Avatar by Derjuin

Re: Aurora
So, I'm looking at the people in the last panel, and I am somewhat uncertain how to take it. I see someone carrying a child, but I thought this was Alinua breaking open the prison.
And now I am thinking maybe that's better. The alternative to having kids grow up in prison is probably an orphanage, and in this lawful stupid city, you're probably better off growing up in prison.

Re: Aurora
I'm not saying it'd be beyond Zuurith and co. to do that (as far as they are concerned, not being the citizen of somewhere counts as a crime in and of itself, after all), but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Looking like a kid is canonically no the same thing as being one in the setting: Kria here, for instance, is a grown-ass adult, thank you very much.
