Truly, the level of reclamation and the build-up of Halās play is giving me chills.
The Pariah blades are no longer hidden away in a museum. Theyāve been soaked in the freed blood and spirit of the people who forged and wielded them.
They are in the hands of Rungjani, clanging in the streets of Dol-Makjar, calling the people to witness a story.
The Hallowed Round is also covered in the liberated blood of Rungjani. Blood held captive for centuries now shapes the forms and faces of Rungjani, captives who strove and died, but did not fail, because their rebellion was a step forward on the path toward freedom.
The play is going forward, with no influence from the Creed. Everyone in the city will see it in its true formā a story of rebellion.
It makes me think of the Falconerās Rebellion, another failed rebellion. Two rebellions that failed with the fall of a single great man.
But there were nine blades used in the Rebellion that succeeded. Decades later, the Lloy name is held in highest honor as the creators of the Blades, not the wielders.
It makes me think of Uli saying, āI know now that those who sang songs in this place, even if the words were meant to soothe [Azgraās] wrath and keep our lives in propitiating his fury; the melody, the dance, the fury and the passion, that was always for us.ā
It makes me think of Demodus, saying that things have to start as an illusion first.
It makes me think of Thaisha, speaking a Rungjani blessing, blessing the Conqueror, āfor in his appetite, he saw AramĆ”n forever changed from what it was to what it might be. A blessing to him, then, that the Rungjani reject peace in favor of a dream.ā
I think I know. And Iām very excited for opening night.
