#cr halas

[sanktjosiah]

so I was watching campaign 2 ep 82 (?) i believe it was and it was like a halloween special or something and matt mercer was dressed as mccree from overwatch and someone in the comments said they can't imagine halas as anything else but a german cowboy now and the mental image naturaly stayed with me. my first ever actual fanart out of my own mind and it's a cowboy halas. sometimes life is good.

Something I've been thinking about since Campaign 3 is gearing up for its final arc is what role Halas would've played. In the Canpaign 2 wrap-up, Matt said that Halas would've been a Campaign 3 problem if the Nein had ended up releasing him. I think he would've been on Ludinus's side but I really want to hear what Matt would've done with him around.

It's finally time to post this! A bunch of critter artists came together so we could create a CR2 tarot, here's my piece: Halas Lutagran for the Eight of Cups!

Be sure to check out the rest of the pieces, they're all amazing!  ➡️@CRTarotProject on twitter

Also here’s a handy chart I made with all the symbolism in the piece because I really busted my ass on this lmao

Now that it’s been revealed (out of the game) that Fjord’s sword is a Vestige of Divergence, it got me thinking what other possible Vestiges the Nein had possibly encountered or heard of. Something that they may have viewed but not really known its name or purpose.

So I was reading through the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount’s list of Vestiges and saw this:

The Grimoire Infinitus. It’s a spellbook. While the only description it states is that it has silver-plated covers, we can assume that example illustration can be an in-game example of a real Vestige. It’s red and silver-plated and is decorated with gems, particularly with a sapphire in the center. And it has chains surrounding it.

Where else have we heard a description of a book like this?

In Halas’s study.

The exact description (from Matt's words): a large red leather-bound book with sapphires embedded in the cover conspicuously placed in the center of a bookshelf. It like the other books, also had a lock on it.

You could say, maybe it’s just a regular book. But I don’t think that’s the case.

What did Caleb find on Halas’s desk? A jar of magical ink. That would make sense, right? Because Halas’ is a wizard and need to write down his spell in his spellbook. But to write spells, he needs magical paper. But they didn’t find paper in his desk. Why?

Because Halas’s spellbook would have an infinite number of pages.

Why have a massive study hundreds of books with no paper? Because your book has infinite amounts of it.

So, in conclusion, that red book was definitely Halas’s Grimoire Infinitus. Halas was one of the greatest mages during the Age of Arcanum and definitely would make one those spellbooks.

Sucks that Caleb didn’t manage to get it. Hopefully, Yussa has it and would give to Caleb. Or Yussa would recover it from the golems and give it to Caleb.

But anyways, that’s my case. I definitely felt like I had a Beau moment here, but it has passed and I’m a little dizzy. I’m at least 66% sure I’m correct, but this is just a theory.

ok ok new CR crack theory:

Halas & Vecna were roommates in Wizard School who hated each other’s fuckin guts and grew up to be powerful and extremely petty rivals

it’s why Halas is so disdainful towards lichdom, and he set the time difference in his house that way with the expectation that Veccy would get ganked by some random plucky adventurers sooner rather than later

he wasn’t completely wrong there, but vecna sabotaged halas’s soul gem plan before it happened

hard to say who can claim the last laugh with one banished to the outer realms or wherever and the other stuck in a small rock, but if yussa follows through with yeeting halas’s gem into space they could conceivably bump into each other at some point and spend the rest of eternity uselessly bickering :D

[megafaunaknight]

there really needs to be a few more Halas stans in the CR fandom

[birdberdburd]

Uh oh here comes Caleb’s convo with Halas

[ihassheepquake]

Now that we've seen EXU Calamity, I'm thinking about when the Nein first met Halas. The way he talks, specifically the things he says, remind me a lot of how Laerryn and the other Ring of Brass people were talking. The way he talks about "self-imposed deities" and wanting to move beyond the limits of mortality. It feels very reminiscent of Laerryn creating the Astral Leywright to kinda put herself on the level of the Gods.

I can't stop wondering if the Nein had actually let Halas out of the gem if he could've caused a new Calamity. We know from the Campaign 2 wrap-up that Halas would've been a Campagin 3 problem. Imagine what that could've been like.
