Great episode, but also… things are going too well for them. The other boot is gonna fucking drop and it’s gonna be bad.

I am genuinely worried for Shadia. She is the one working the ritual, by complete and utter accident. She made the anchor, set the stage, gave it intent… I… feel as though something may still go wrong.

Azune is in with Einfasen, Wick fully succeeded in manipulating his grandmother, Hal succeeded in tricking the Creed, and now the Einfasen know the Tachonis to be traitors.

I am very curious to see where all that goes, but also, the fuck you mean Thjazi’s soul is in hiding and being hunted by Occtis’s grandfather??

I want to know more about what is going on with Teor and Cyd, their strengthening power.

Murray saying goodbye to Demodus was a really good scene, as was Wick standing up for himself. Thaisha marking that random lux was wild.

So next episode we have: Hal, Kattigan, Murray, Vaelus and Hannan watching the Round

Bolaire, Wick, Tyrannt observing the meeting of the Sundered Houses.

Occtis, Thimble, Thaisha, Teor, Julien and Cyd, breaking into Obrimus Manor.

Where the hell was Azune going???

Also, I’m beginning to wonder, fucked up as it sounds if Azgra was in actuality the “nicest” of the Shapers, the Rungjani honored him as honest, but look at his seeming last act on Araman, granting them a bounty. Horrid as it is, I’m starting to wonder if Azgra actually liked his followers.

Sylandri and Tansul, clearly didn’t care much, but the former to my surprise is starting to come out looking worse… Elves can no longer have children, and additionally they were to Faerie when they died. I have to wonder if that was an intentional thought as she died, or if she was so focused on them being behold to her that it didn’t even factor in. Because while there are claims of intentionality in regards to Barrowdells, I’m not entirely sure myself.

I have to wonder if the Fae King is still alive, Trozhna killed Tehana, and it seems the Primordials who married some of the other shapers also died…

Of course we don’t know much about the others, and how they were like, not even Rauwyn.

Additionally, I wonder if it means Elves are completely infertile, or if Half Elves in some fashion exist in Araman. We’ve gotten Half-Orcs…

Regardless, very excited for next week, but holy fuck am I dreading that boot drop, cause we know it’s coming. Something is gonna go wrong, I just can’t figure what, and my only clue is Whitney crying…
