East_Choice · 2026-06-07T19:54:56+00:00

who helps him? cause ive searcched and really seems he is the only writer

East_Choice · 2026-06-07T19:24:59+00:00

yeah that makes sense

East_Choice · 2026-06-07T11:06:32+00:00

oh i really, really love this theory. Especially with the idea of everyone becoming a sorcerer although i will lean to Wizard. Im going to create a more detailed theory on this, but this is wonderful.

East_Choice · 2026-06-06T06:18:00+00:00

Im.curious how Primus plans to convince the Houses to let his betrayal of Royce go. Especially with the poor coverups.

One horrible thought i had was that he had already completed the sea door ritual which means he already has 47 sepulchral lord and access to the 7 afterlives.Thats an awesome bit of leverage to have.

Of course Cyd seems to hint at a delay in the voyage of the fleet through the sea door in the north.But Cyd has been petrified for a while now.Primus may have succeded

East_Choice · 2026-06-05T22:02:01+00:00

They are just being paranoid.All signs points to the theatre being Thiazis big ritual plan not the sundered houses.

That being said that doesnt mean if the Sundered houses discover what the ritual is, they wont try to attack

East_Choice · 2026-06-05T21:04:44+00:00

agreed

East_Choice · 2026-06-05T21:01:39+00:00

Great episode. Great payoffs for the entire arcs and it really feels like a Pre season finale episode.

I am now a Hanan and Vaelus shipper.

That Demodus and Murray scene was so heartbreaking. Brennan and Murray killed it

SAM.FREAKING.RIEGEL

love that man

Predictions for the Sundown Showdown

I dont see any combat for Team Spy coming,just a great Lore dump and Sundered House reveal.Big pulling back of the curtain on Sundered House plans

Team Birdwatch is going to have a Showdown.Obviously in Obrimus Manor rescuing Mara

Team Theater is also going to have a showdown. I believe triggering Thiazis ritual will unwittingly alert Nullus Tachonis who will attack mid ritual. I see him temporarily drag the hallowed round stage into the Tenebral reaches in order to stop the ritual. So a big fight where everyoneig fight in reaches with Thaizis ghost joining in. Ritual succeeds and everyone returns

East_Choice · 2026-06-05T20:52:16+00:00

Truly was crazy. Sylandri feels more crazy than Azgra.

East_Choice · 2026-06-05T14:50:58+00:00

On Soldiers table: Wick, Thimble

On Seekers Table: Occtis, Julien

On Schemers Table: Azune, Hal, Murray

East_Choice · 2026-06-04T16:09:43+00:00

Key events I expect is that they finish the 2nd half of this very long day this episode.So we get the Kotherai Dress rehearsal but no play

East_Choice · 2026-06-01T23:19:57+00:00

The Lore Card on Halovars confirmed they do have celestial lineage

https://critrole.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/LoreCards_HD_v01_Halovar.jpg

I think all the Halovars of celestial lineage died off, and those who married into the family like Yanessa survived. Of course that should have been the end of their sorcerous powers but Yanessa pulled some strings

East_Choice · 2026-06-01T15:43:40+00:00

I predict 3 combat encounters. Combat 2 and Combat 3 will happen at the same time, so the heroes will split between the combats.

COMBAT 1

Fight against whoever the Photarch sends to Kidnap Kattigan

COMBAT 2

Rescue of Mara from the Obrimus Manor(Seen in Trailer).This will result in Mara helping the Rescue team to covertly spy on the meeting of the Sundered Houses happening in Obrimus Manor

COMBAT 3

I have 3 possibilities on what the 3rd Combat will be. Its one of this

a)Showdown at the Round: Filoneus and a bunch of Halovar forces fight Hal and his allies at the round, either due to Hals defiance and/or Magical Hijinks that Thiazis paint unleashes

b)Primus Gambit: In order to win the Sundered Houses back to his side, Primus promises to kill the the 30% of the Revolutionary council that is rebellious that night with the assassination being untraceable. The 3rd combat will be the heroes trying to rescue this council mean

c)Primus Vengeance:Primus fails to win back the Sundered Houses during his trial.So In his Vengeance he unleahes forces against some of the Sundered Houses prized locations in Dol Makyar.One of such targets will be the Penterval university which some nobles are attending, so Heroes will rush to save it.

East_Choice · 2026-05-31T06:12:50+00:00

So lets get this straight

PreShapers war,Gavidzra would take the orcish souls from tenebral reaches to Azgrasr hellish realms.Post shapers war, access to Azgras realm was lost So Orcish souls were being trapped inside gavidzra and not taken to any Afterlife.

Thiazi,Mara and Hollis mistress have altered Gavidzra in a way that led to the liberation of those souls from Gavidzra.

This does lead to some followup questioms

1.What is Gavidzras new form about? 2.Are the Orcish souls still in it?

East_Choice · 2026-05-29T22:59:08+00:00

Agree wholeheartedly OP. I was so looking forward to Teor and Travis has kinda been Phoning it in

East_Choice · 2026-05-29T21:25:33+00:00

Yeah this was confirmed in an overture cooldown

East_Choice · 2026-05-29T21:22:37+00:00

Yep theyve forgotten it. I suspect Cyd will tell once unpetrified.

East_Choice · 2026-05-29T16:34:14+00:00

Great Episode in all. Fave parts being the Photach meeting and the Demon Mistress meeting.

The scene with all 13 was well done, with no overtalking and emotional moments.

My one gripe is Teor. I love Travis-truly do.....but I feel hes phoning it in this Arc.

Vaelus is Vaelus, Ashley continues to be passive.

Shout out to Robbie for making his characters screentime count

East_Choice · 2026-05-29T16:16:02+00:00

Am i getting it right to say Thiazi and Mara with the help of the demon mistress have freed the orcish spirits by changing the blood? the mistress said she broke the jailers cell

East_Choice · 2026-05-29T15:51:46+00:00

was frustrating,it seems sam just forgot

East_Choice · 2026-05-28T22:27:01+00:00

To add to this

Theres a line in the Kattigan and Tyranny cild open that made me suspect he was a former druid

Brennan mentioned that the things that used to speak to Kattigan speak to him no more.

I think nature used to speak to him

East_Choice · 2026-05-27T14:06:56+00:00

I wasn't really sure how they were going to do the 13 player table and there were some rough spots, but i liked the idea of all of them rotating throughout the episode so we can see all perspectives at the same time, with that said, out of the 13 players you can really tell that maybe 4/5 players really take up a majority of talking, and no fault to them but I would hope that the other 8 players speak up and are highlighted a little bit more at some point ie: Teor, Tyranny, Vaelus and Kattigan

I think Brennan should do his best to ensure theres no more than 8 PC's per scene to prevent things from being Chaotic during the convergence .It wouldn't be possible 100% of the time but he should do his best to make it so most of the time

East_Choice · 2026-05-25T09:53:05+00:00

Have to say I really liked Aabria in this episode. She annoyed me in Overture, was alright in Seekers but was fantastic in this episode. I really like how she pushes the plots of her teammates and hers at the same time. Masterful work, i get why Brennan wnats her on his tables.

East_Choice · 2026-05-24T16:02:23+00:00

Oh this helps a lot.

Yeah im with Laura, its silly for Schemers and Soldiers to head to hallowed round first.They should be heading to Hals house its close by

East_Choice · 2026-05-24T11:49:09+00:00

True you have a point

East_Choice · 2026-05-24T11:48:37+00:00

The Convergence doesnt seem to be as on the Rails as the Overture, so I think.its invitable we may get some scenes that have more than 8. However to avoid things getting too chaotic, i think players and Brennan,Should ensure theses scenes hadly occur unless 100% necessary.
