I need to see more body horror about the Dragonlords being some kind of fucked-up combination of artificial intelligence and machines, and flesh and organic bodies. Having them spill blood but their hearts are inorganic machine cores. Being able to take different forms at their will but appearing more digital the closer you look at them. Internal conflicts about whether they identify as a machine or as a dragon, or having them never know they were never truly organic the whole time.
MAGHAN'S STUDENT!!! IS REAL!!! I REPEAT!!! MAGHAN'S!! STUDENT!! IS!! REAL!!
dragonlord lore!! (i think). the one at the end is cl-03 for sure but he saw. Things. before
holy shit thats heavy!! so she says maghan is sincere bc the blood of the ancients never stained his blade?
before that they used to only be able to communicate with the night kingdom by offering blood to the lord of the night but here cl-03 will teach them how to hear it without that
grand alliance shade lol
and another case of a natlan lore character who erased their name! seriously how many now
the wayob at the end is the starcaller btw...
and this is how the first iktomisaurus came to be!
it's a ceremonial weapon with one of the best sounding passive's name. and cryo coded.
i love that title. rainbow's rain bow. cl-03 (with her appearance in the desc too) is officially a rainbow serpent with wings! i think? yay!
guess who thought it'd be about uenuku from the name. but idc im so happy wagadu is real
holy shit yall you cannot imagine how EXCITED i am about this fucking bow. some further thoughts:
wagadu seems to be named after the empire that irl-dinga-aka-maghan founded. hence the connection between them ingame
we now have more on the first iktomisaur than from the archive. as a reminder this is what the archive had to say:
and lastly, that is not the first time we hear of him
we did know that maghan had a successor
but that was the extent we knew about him.
... do you want a little conspiracy that there might be two other allusions to him? feel free to skip the read more if not, take it with not a grain but a full pot of salt if yes
when you beat all local legends in the night kingdom you get this. we all think it's sanhaj or kuntur yes and it would make sense however... maybe... i've always thought it was a bit weird you get the first two pyro archons then jump to some guy 1000 years later who isn't even a pyro archon (if it's sanhaj). wagadu is never referred to as "a child" but he is young (how young exactly who knows) and lost in thought expression seems to fit him, and he is now associated with the first iktomisaur.. (though... would that mean he eventually became the third (?) pyro archon?? i mean... it's possible?)
and this from moment of attainment in unfinished reverie set yes because i'll keep connecting it to every mictlan character from that era (who am i kidding, he's the only one). his paragraph is specifically after the scarlet eyed youth's who came after everybody else, though i'm not saying it happened chronologically after. there's nothing indicating he knew any hidden secrets before the events described in the bow (the opposite actually) but i mean it could've been secrets about och-kan or his city since this is during the rebellion, maghan could've taught him that or some other secrets it's not like he didn't understand any of his teachings just the vague last words
hope you didn't forget the grains of salt because idk
