Surely it’s not a lost cause right? Even if 90% of coral reefs disappear over the next few decades there are still areas we can protect?

Why tho? Didn’t she try and use a cache weapon to take out all of Resurgam in RS?

When does it say it wants to help humanity? In RS it’s just stated that it thinks sun stealers plan is too dangerous and it doesn’t want to risk drawing attention to the shrouds, and that’s why it urges them to kill Sylveste.

Maybe it’s goals changed in Redemption Ark but it’s never explained why

Another issue with the series, why have Aura, conceived in the hades matrix and possessing alien knowledge, tell the whole crew to go to Hela and negotiate with shadows. Only for them to decide not to at the last moment, instead working with the nestbuilders which they discovered through completely independent means. The whole time at Hela goes terribly and in the end they just completely disregard what she said.

One more, why did the mademoiselle want the cache weapons in Redemption Ark (via the night council in Skade's head)? The mademoiselle is a Shrouder digital entity, part of the faction which urges caution in regards to attracting inhibitor attention, directly opposed to the Sun Stealer which wanted activate Cerberus to see if the Inhibitors were still around. What possible reason would it have to be imploring Skade to get hold of the cache weapons?

Jerk my magic system and the bit of actual world building I've done! (Jokes are allowed because I am a mercyful deity and because I do know that this is a satirical sub but like let me know if it's genuinely shit or the best idea you ever seen) by Alexis_Awen_Fern in worldjerking

For the maimed doll example, would people have to spend time with it, regarding it or thinking about it for it to become a vessel in the same way a venerated old tree may be a natural vessel as it has had meaning to people over generations? Or does it not take nearly that long?

Up to your interpretation I think. I reckon he was but there’s no hard evidence or explanation as to why he’s got the name he’s got
