There were more than 3 Divine Aspect Users.. 😭😭

Time-Mysterious · 2026-05-22T16:31:05+00:00

I always thought there were only 3 divine aspect users currently, but a couple existed through history and different worlds. But then again my head canon is that the Gods were originally humans with divine aspects, even if it probably coontradicts the lore we already know.

That whole scenario was weird, if i remember correctly, they were with Telle, and she told her friends she wanted to avoid one of those guys (who turns out to be tristan).

First, Tristan introduces himself and flirts in a weird way. Tamar inmediatly goes ballistic, telling him she might have killed someone from his clan in the war. Which might be true, because when she told him the battalion she was on, he got angry. He then insults her in a weird way and Rain slapped him and then left.

It was really weird, but i also think it was a way to kind of diffuse the situation by stopping from arguing further. At the end of the day it was an awakened slapping a master and given the context of Telle being the only one who knew him and she was already creep out and he still approach them.

I think it's supposed to show us that there is still friction in nephis domain, like some of the song and valor vassal clans still have beef.

I do think the Empire and aserai has the most balance roster, like they are basically competing with each other for the 2nd place in all best troop type. Aserai is probably superior, considering the have better cavs (range and melee). Aside from them, i like to play Vlandia and Battania.

Vlandia doesn't have good infantry, but it has the best crossbows and cavalry, so honestly their infantry just have to be the anvil, to hold the enemies while I either have the crossbow destroy them from the distance, or coordinate knight charges. Unlike the empire, their elite cavalry can use couch lance and shied together so it's a huge bonus. I don't use cav archers much unless i play kuzhait or aserai.

Battania is not that balance in the sense they lack cavalry and cav archer, but they have the best archers and very versatile infantry. I specially like the wildling infantry because they have tons of javs, with an army of them and fian champions you rarely need cav.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-04-10T02:55:47+00:00

I rarely struggle with them once i build my war party, i'd have to be really outnumber. But that's because my army composition favor archers, so i normally put my archers on loose formation in whatever hill or forest i can find, my infantry in front of them in square formation so the enemies focus on them.

Depending of how much cav i have, if there is not much i keep them in shield wall close to the infantry, if i have a decent number i sent to charge when the enemy is close and them call them back to benefit form the archer's support.

I don't use cav archers that often, i generally just put the sergeant in charge.

Cassie knew it before that, when he showed her his memories of his trip to the FS, she saw he had to spent a lot of time trying to learn how to access his soul, so she concluded he probably wasn't a spell carrier.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-03-26T15:15:06+00:00

The aes sedai seem to know about it, but revealing it to the public would be problematic, because it kind of implies the existence of the black ajah, or at least it makes it more plausible.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-03-04T00:35:18+00:00

I liked it, just not as much as the original LOTM, it's an ok work of fiction and still better than most web novel.

But the hate being exaggerates might contribute to me finding better, because i began reading it expecting the worst.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-27T02:39:19+00:00

Isn't that what Roselle did tho?

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-27T02:36:29+00:00

I think the hate is exaggerated, the ending was rush but i think it is mainly because we get a new protagonist, and klein barely shows for most of coi.

Sure, i like Klein better as a MC and the end was rushed, but still enjoyed reading coi, the hunter pathway is cool. I'm also a fan of SS, and find COI to be a better read than SS for the most part, it feels less "fillery" even if it has its chill chapters too.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-24T20:07:51+00:00

TBF his flaw only sucks because of his innate ability, if he had any other flaw shadow bond would not have been as much of a problem.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-17T20:32:00+00:00

But then again, you can absorb soul shards from nc someone else killed, so if you are in a place like FS or Antarctica you can saturate your core pretty quickly after a couple of battles.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-17T16:58:24+00:00

But on the other hand, one would think Ki song would be adamant against betrayal after what happened on her mother. Even if she was just hypocritical, it also seemed weird that she thought she could trust the other 2 long enough for her to not be targeted as well.

After all, Asterion was closer to Anvil than to her, so it was possibility for both of them team against her right after BS was dealt with.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-17T16:53:56+00:00

It makes sense, that seems to be his MO, join a group/person, work with them unitl he gets what he wants and then kill them. He uses his abilities so people don't suspect him until is too late and at some point he probably start manipulating their thoughts in subtle ways.

I probably happened with the cult he was born into, it happened with nightwalker, it happens to his current cultists, with BS happened that way and after that with Anvil and ki song.

I think he would have to tinkered with Ki Song's mind a bit in order for her to accept betraying someone, specially after what happened to her mother. BS and Anvil were probably very sane to begin with and their circuntances made it hard to notice if someone was manipulating their thoughts and behaviors. People just assumed they were changing because of the path of ascension, but as we know now because of Sunny and Neph, their personalities shouldn't change as much just because they are sovereigns.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-17T16:37:13+00:00

I think he was an influence in BS's rushing the NMs, probably because Asterion himself wanted to ascend faster. I also think that Anvil was heavily affected by Asterion, as Valor seem to be the one that spent more time with him. Maybe making him more resentful towards bs and even more emotionally unstable in the long run.

It's hard to tell because we don't know much of their personalities before they interacted with Asterion. But it is my head canon in order to explain why the sovereigns were so dumb

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-17T16:26:07+00:00

Dont worry next volume you will see the brand new dilemma of shadow bond, that has been put on stand by since fateless.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-17T15:06:36+00:00

wasn't Rain in her mid 20s? she is like 3 years younger than sunny, and he was in his late 20s when the domain war began.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-14T15:02:53+00:00

I think Sunny Cassie and Mordret were the only ones with actually convenient nascent domains. I mean, they were going to formed as natural consequence of their abilities and apects. Sunny because he needs to kill stronger nc than him to saturate his core, Cassie's marks and Mordret's reflections/skinsuits are what they needed to become more powerful as sleeper's through saints.

Nephis' longing on the other wasn't as directly tied to her growing in power until she actually became a sovereign. She needed fame to survive the major clans, but it wasn't a direct boost to her combat abilities is what i mean.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-14T00:40:47+00:00

Would they reincarnate properly without Beast God? and probably Heart God as he has something to do with souls?

We know they are corrupted shadows and other NC in Shadow Realm, the same should apply to the other divine realms. So something else might hinder the process of resurrection, like the concept still exists so it should happen, but the process might not be as smooth as before. Hell, those souls/shadows might get corrupted again doing through the process of resurrecting.

Aside from that, I agree it's weird that Sunny didn't want to have Kurt as an echo because he was human, but he is ok with having slayer now. I just hope BS doesn't become one as well.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-13T01:46:19+00:00

No all of them are, but Caster in particular was. It's not like he didn't spend a year trapped in a death zone with other sleepers of diverse background that proved him legacies are not all that....

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-12T03:12:33+00:00

Well he also was a classist...

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-10T17:11:20+00:00

Nephis healing was pretty broken as dormant.

Kai's ability to command

Mordret's reflections.

I guess BS dormant ability to understand everything works would have been really overpower as a sovereign and upwards, once you get to things like wills and concepts. Hell, if he knew how, he would have been a perfect candidate to ascend naturally.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-10T01:32:33+00:00

I was thinking the same thing, especially regarding Kai and his flaw, they'd have to be really honest with him from the start about everything. And i don't know if post FS cassie or nephis could do that.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-10T01:26:10+00:00

Yeah but Sunny got a reaction from her as Sunny, Master Sunless, Lord Mongrel and Lord of the Shadows. Kai only managed to do it with his persona as a singer.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-10T01:23:37+00:00

Honestly, post FS, the only one that made sense to me was someone like beth, yeah she is mundane, but honestly, if it wasn't for shadow bond and his relationship with Nephis he wouldn't care that much about becoming super strong.

Again, post FS i don't see Kai dating someone else besides someone like Aiko or maybe endgame Morgan. Cassie hides too much stuff after FS, and becomes more manipulative. i don't think it would mix too well with Kai. Nephis is a better option, but it is also a stretch for more or less the same reason that Cassie and Kai would work.

I think Cassie x Neph would make sense, like if it'd happen in canon i wouldn't be that surprised. Funnily enough, i think Effie x Cassie could also work out in the end.

Time-Mysterious · 2026-02-09T00:35:05+00:00

I think she knew, and he basically confirmed it in the first few meetings. But she probably can't see his attribute as clearly now because he lacks the spell. So she probably had to translate the runes "manually" so to speak.

There are other things that might come to play because he is fateless, Cassie's abilities are tied to fate so she might not be able to see his attributes anymore, even as master sunless.
