i’m not sure what it says about me that the chrysos heirs that i had/have the biggest gimme now reaction to are anaxa and cipher, but it’s probably something lmao
(i lost my 50/50 for hyacine so i’m guaranteed for cipher, i just have to wait but don’t want to)
also 3.3 is super depressing ofc but i still find it hilarious that phainon namedrops the seal slammer event in the trailblaze quest
anyway i’m dealing with all this by imagining them like, joining up one by one in a game of cards in the afterlife or something right now, but there’s something to poke at re: comparing anaxa and seliose that i might get to in a few weeks
and the team i’m using right now also probably says a lot about me: aventurine (most aggressive sustain i have), dr ratio (hunt dps), anaxa (erudition dps), and tribbie (most aggressive support i have)
is it proper team building? not really. am i having fun? yes
hearing anaxa’s and ratio’s ults one right after the other is pretty funny, though, like, i don’t think you have the same perspective on “all things”, guys
Chucking Amphoreus Cast into Lotm | Backgrounds Part 1
Omg the two hours of researching what pathway is related to what species will come into clutch in this stuff I can already feel it. Thank you past boat for suffering for my convenience
ANYWAY!! Lets try to make this make sense
Grisha isn't here. Taking his place as the liberator of humanity is Khaos (the Worldbearing Demigod of the prev cycle) Khaos is also taking Grisha's place as the dude that the chaos sea spit out.
Khaos does die just like Grisha but he didn't prepare to revive. He chose to just let himself be killed and made plans so multiple people could become S0 of the GA pathways so their remaining imprints alongside the passage of time would weaken the will of PGA so that the next person to become GA would have an easier time.
Then we have the Chrysos Heirs as an organisation
The Chrysos Heirs is an organisation that Khaos founded to essentially kill gods once they get out of control including himself. They're like Rose Redemption but for everyone
This also means that any S0 is not allowed to be apart of the Chrysos Heirs anymore and Spectators are used to implant psy cues to make sure they overlook the existence of the Chrysos Heirs organisation
The leadership of the Chrysos Heirs went like:
Calypso - Seliose - Cerydra - Aglaea
Calypso at some point stepped down, Seliose went mad and then became a S0, then Cerydra took over and also became a S0 so she stepped down and Aglaea took over
Polyxia and Castorice are human survivors that ate beyonder characteristics and lost control. Later on they regain their sanity thanks to Khaos and join the Chrysos Heirs. They also serve as angels under Khaos.
Calypso was a human slave under the sanguine. She is also a member of the Great White Brotherhood (organisation of the Seven Lights of the Spirit World) and a founding member of the Chrysos Heirs. She made great contributions to the development of potion formulas. For a long time she was a KoA but became a S0 later on to prevent the creation of the Hidden Sage. While Khaos was alive she also served as an angel under him.
Seliose and Cerydra were slaves under the elves. Cerydra, due to being the child of a human and elf, was forced into serving Queen of Calamity Cohinem. Secretly Seliose and Cerydra joined the Chrysos Heirs and eventually lead the revolt of the slaves under the elves when Khaos attacked them.
Seliose was a KoA of the Tyrant pathway under Khaos. Cerydra was also a S1 Angel of the Tyrant Pathway but she wasn't an angel under Khaos. Seliose lost control after Khaos died and killed Cerydra due to the law of beyonder convergence and became a mad S0. Cerydra already made preparations to switch to Black Emperor before Seliose killed her so she revived as S0 Black Emperor. (There is a lot of time between Seliose losing control and Cerydra being killed btw)
Mydei was the descendant of a human slave and a Weather Giant. He was born as a s7 Pyromaniac (I don't remember what the ancient name for this one way) and later on rose to KoA. He did not serve under Khaos
Gnaeus was a human slave that speed ran the path of the divine and became a KoA in record time. He was an angel under Khaos
For the record the angels under Khaos were treated and treated Khaos the same way as they did in hsr canon. So like comrades, friends, allies. Not god believer. This was for Khaos' humanity (he was struggling with it a lot)
