This is more of a production question:

What was your reaction when you got Madoka's VA to play as Hoshi?

Oh my god I was so stoked. I've loved Christine's work for a really long time so when she said yes to this project I was so honored an excited. Even more so when she told me that SHE was excited getting the casting email for Hoshi. She's brought so much to Hoshi's characters in such a short amount of time.

She's an amazing voice actress and wonderful friend!

(Did I feel a bit emotional talking to all these fictional characters? Yes, I did.)

the partition of the Mongol empire sounds like the background of a JRPG. “Long ago there was this guy who ruled the whole world and then divided it up into four parts: the Cold Slavic Forest realm, the Hot Persian Desert realm, the Vast Steppe and Mountain Pass realm, and the China realm” oh let me guess, then he gave each realm a magic crystal that controls the elements

Also he named them shit like "The Golden Horde". You can't leave that detail out.

So funny story about that magic crystal thing...

The use of the jadachin* continued long after the Mongols ceased to be primarily shamanistic in faith. Boyle notes that in the late Yuan or Northern Yuan period, the Mongols (who were Buddhist at this time) used them against the Ming. In the Islamic world, jadachin appeared at the Battle of the Mire (1365), in which the Amir Timur (1335–1405) was defeated by the Chaghatayids of Moghulistan. Abu Sa’id, a Timurid, employed jadachin in 1451, not in battle put to produce rain in a desolate area.62 Other evidence suggests that the use of the jada stones became prevalent throughout Central Eurasia after the Mongol Empire, demonstrating once again the cross-cultural importance of the Mongol Empire. Molnar notes that while weather magic appears to be a global phenomenon, the use of weather stones as a “meteorological weapon” appears to be a particularly Inner Asian phenomenon. Furthermore, while there are no pre-thirteenth-century examples of the Mongols using weather stones, the Mongols’ use of bezoars as weather stones spread throughout the empire thereafter.

*jadchin - a bezoar used as a "weather stone" to cause inclement weather

So yeah, they actually did have magical crystals that controlled the weather, at least if you asked them about it...

I actually had no prior knowledge of jadachin but I'm glad to know I give off the vibe of 'well of COURSE he already knew about 13th century central asian weather magic'
