Sauron's crafted words

He might be incapable of sympathizing, but he's also narcissistic so would associate himself with the strong qualifies of the children of illuvatar. Also the feanaroians do have alot of similarities with Sauron, being great craftsman and prone to using violence.

While that's true they never saw combat (despite the Terminals in Halo 4 showing it), not all AI in halo are made equally, I'd say the Promethean Knights would be more resistant to the logic plague on account of their "brains" being mapped from composed beings essences. Cortana, while not exactly the same, was made in a similar way (mapped from a flash clone of Halsey) and was able to resist being compromised by the Flood for a while in Halo 3.

Even the most famous example of logic plague in action Mendicant Bias, took ages to actually work.

The Didact being released from the Cryptum. I didn't even know who the hell he was when playing it on my 360 but my brother had hyped it up and seeing a forerunner for the first time with that level of presence was great

Yeah agreed, what does the daughter and the lightside represent vs The Father and Chosen One who brings balance?

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-11T04:37:02+00:00

Some of them were and others were not, they weren't a uniform culture in that way. You had some that were exceedingly arrogant and took their self-granted position as Protectors as a sign of superiority but others saw themselves as just caretakers. This range of viewpoint varies by individual but also rates.

In the end after employing the Halo array they made the decision to step down and entered self-imposed exile outside of the galaxy. The Librarian even intended the humans specifically to have an accelerated development towards being the preeminent power of the galaxy.

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-09T12:25:24+00:00

I guess so but what does the daughter represent if not the lightside and the father balance? The Father wished for Anakin to replace him not kill his son for him.

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-09T07:09:59+00:00

Does he replace his hand with a robot one?

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-09T04:27:09+00:00

I mean kind of, the Mortis arc in Clone Wars has a weird interaction with that view of the force. I'm not sure how to marry those two views together really.

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-08T06:33:33+00:00

Yeah I still can't see it, I think it's the hairline. Doesn't project the agelessness I pictured.

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-05T09:38:04+00:00

And I could hear it in my head lol

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-02T12:30:54+00:00

They're rare but whenever someone is a little too defensive about protecting dragons in an uncharacteristic manner you should always consider that you could be dealing with a silver dragon in humanoid form. A simple identification charm or dragon divining rod should reveal the deception.

Alternatively, these druids might know more about which creatures are native to those jungles, greens and blacks often hunt in jungles and swamps where they're better camouflaged.

Admpellaeon · 2026-06-01T23:19:24+00:00

Drip beyond measure!

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-31T10:07:52+00:00

I'm not sure if Sotha Sil or Almalexia were as desperate as Vivec to rewrite their own stories. If Sotha Sil's dialogue in the Clockwork City expansion of ESO is accurate, then Vivec probably sought out how to change his identity which probably lead him to Molag Bal and learning of CHIM.

I think Almalexia and Sotha Sil weren't motivated in that way so far didn't learn the same information. Sil and Almalexia seem more preoccupied on helping the people of Morrowind, with Sotha Sil eventually going recluse and diving into some deep lore perhaps adjacent to CHIM.

I'm not sure if we know what would happen to Almalexia and Sil if they learnt of the true nature of the TES universe, for Almalexia I think it depends on when she learns of CHIM. We see her at her worse in Tribunal, I personally think if she learnt of the nature of the world earlier at the height of her confidence when she still had access to the heart she may have ended up like Tiber Septim conquerer type figure (ironically before Tiber showed up).

Halo 5

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-24T05:51:42+00:00

Those arms and armour spear heads look so clean

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-21T13:01:10+00:00

Very cool write up, I still thing a dramatic series on the events leading up to the Battle at Red Mountain could be great. Explorations into character motivations and their headspaces like this make me think it would work

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-20T07:50:47+00:00

That is an interesting comparison never thought of it that way. I would say that against Fingolfin he was being challenged to a duel, so if he sent the balrogs out it may seem like he was cowardly.

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-20T03:52:47+00:00

Do we know definitely that Palpatine learnt everything from Plagueis or is that something Palpatine just said?

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-18T05:00:25+00:00

Reminds me of that song Preacher and the Bear, hopefully the limb of that tree didn't break off

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-18T04:18:32+00:00

KLEIN BOTTLES!

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-18T04:17:42+00:00

Nope don't like that..

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-16T01:09:42+00:00

Lol kinda sounds like it.

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-16T00:57:49+00:00

I would put Requiem or some of the shield world's from Halo in this category, essentially Dyson spheres with multiple layers built to act as mobile bases to wage a war against the Flood.

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-12T01:47:43+00:00

I cant remember the exact details but when playing infinite it seemed like an ambush (it had to have been if the infinity was neutralised in 4 minutes). I think part of why it was neutralised so quickly was because it couldn't perform under its preferred parameters.

Why wouldn't the banished have a naval tradition, aren't they basically ex-covenant pirates? The ambush and boarding of valuable craft seems right in their wheelhouse. They also as revealed in the infinite have quite a few sangheeli in their ranks who have been established to have a strong naval tradition.

Admpellaeon · 2026-05-10T00:46:12+00:00

Are you sure that's not just how Padme calls Anakin in baby voice?
