That Villain!Mirror!Drakath story outline you and shroom made hits differently now after doing the 7th quest for the Lord of Order class.
Like best boy sounds a bit too absolute with wanting Lords of Order to stop any form of rebellion in the desc of the quest (most likely from Mirror!Alteon usurping the throne), and I feel like that plays into the au too well
(Hey so I'm really sorry for delaying my answer for this, real life got in the way and I only had the time and energy to answer this now. Hope you understand ;;-;;)
The seeds of corruption have been there all along, we were just too blind to see it ;-;
BUT YEAH, his tonal shift always struck me as odd because something about the way he said it felt kind of. . . vitriolic? I think that's the right term for it?
Like, goddamn Drakath, that whole 'those who rule must not be opposed' speech feels like it comes from a pretty dark place, ya know? I know keeping Order is supposed to involve fighting against rising rebellions and all that but. . . Does it have to be all that black and white? Is there a fine line he might cross between order and tyranny in his quest to keep Order intact? CAN he even realize when he's gone too far?
All my rambling aside, good job on picking up on that! Idk if I should be elated or devastated that this potential storyline has a solid canon foundation to stand on lmao
