The awkward part of Eparch studying at the Wizard's Tower

[skiesartsanddoom]

Eparch the snow Kryptis, was a mean and sour soul.

With a Ego so high, a heart of stone, with a hunger so deep and old🎶

Merry Kryptis day 6.

Enjoy the grumpy tyrant.

Tragic EparchGarren thoughts, but since Eparch couldn't passively feed from Isgarren because he was 'empty'

I must feed. I hunger. Why is he so empty? Alone? Hunger. Nothing.

This meant he starved because there was nobody else at the Tower during this time (Mabon was in Janthir and Sorrow was wandering Tyria) and since we know Wizards don't have basic functions after Ascending, there would be no reason for Isgarren to have food of any kind at the Tower (the Ward didn't exist yet). Even if it was possible Isgarren rectified that after Eparch started saying he was hungry, it was likely not right for what Eparch needed, or wouldn't have been enough depending how long Eparch had been starving for.

Anyway, Eparch has dialogue towards the Commander at the end of Treachery

Eparch: Ah. There you are. Eparch: I thought I felt something...different. It's fascinating, what you smell like. What you feel like. [...] Eparch: You, though. Not only do you remind me of the seer, but... Your fear tastes like his.

And this means that, at some point, Eparch was able to taste Isgarren's emotions, feed on them somewhat. Specifically, Isgarren's fear. Of course, it's possible that this could have occurred during Lonely Tower, a time when Isgarren's emotions would have been haywire over the loss of his partner, as well as one of his closest friends, and with the general horror that his greatest enemy had found him again...

But, consider

Hunting. Blood. Centaur village, drained. Regret... He watches. Disdain. Fear. I plead. He does not hear. Shouting.

Imagine how utterly tragic it would be if the first time Eparch had ever been able to feel Isgarren's emotions was because his own actions had disgusted and horrified him so, during the one time he would never have wanted to make Isgarren feel that way.

(all emphasis mine)

Thinking about Eparch placing his parasite on Isgarren like "just a lil taste :)"

[eparch]

"Lonely Tower" referring not just to the tragic events depicted within the fractal, but how this is the first time Eparch has returned to Tyria, specifically to the tower, since being banished by Isgarren

because the last time he was here, it was just Eparch and Isgarren living in the tower. Mabon was elsewhere and Eparch was living in his room. Waiting Sorrow was off roaming the world as a newly ascended wizard. It was just Eparch and Isgarren.

and Eparch was lonely in his hunger that Isgarren could never understand.

and Isgarren was lonely in the grief of being exiled from his people.

just the two of them, alone together.
