Small Artagan Comic and Oaths and Ash spoilers:

I know everyone knows this already… but Artagan is batshit crazy. I have been rereading the Artagan Comics and thought about the Oaths and Ash spoiler that apparently Morrigan was scared of Sammanar’s power… and they weren’t even there in person! Meanwhile Artagan sits in that trial, with the only other Archfey as powerful as Sammanar and the two are already pissed with him. And he doesn’t just absolutely not take them seriously but also actively infuriates both of them multiple times. (On accident? On purpose?Or is that all the same to Arti?) Also, he totally thinks he can talk his way out of this or just be on the run for forever. Anyhow, the two most powerful Fey are pissed at him but he’ll SURELY come out on top.

It also makes me wonder about how powerful Artagan actually is compared to Morrigan. Like that she is the more sensible one is out of the question. But Artagan is the “Lord of the Morncrown” and all that. I feel like there is a part there that we are missing. How did Artagan become so powerful? Are Fey born with a certain potential for influence and magic?

Here’s a video description of Morri from the stream

With a little surprise from me at the end

Nana Morri and The Matron of Ravens

So we’ve all already seen the similarities between Nana Morri and The Morrigan from Irish Celtic Mythology. I only know a smidge about this goddess, so I wanted to do a bit more reading on her, mostly so I’d feel fully informed for when we get to see her more next week. Upon my first search of her and scrolling through images to get a sense of visuals, I can’t stop thinking of the Matron of Ravens.

“The Morrígan was an Irish goddess of death, destiny, and battle. A trio of sisters who could take the form of a single goddess, she was the keeper of fate and a purveyor of prophecy.” (from Mythopedia here)

So The Morrigan is a shapeshifter; she can appear as three individual sisters who can act independently or appear as one goddess. She commonly takes the form of a crow/raven, a young maiden, or an old woman.

This will sound wild, but what if Nana Morri, who has two faces and two voices, and the Matron of Ravens are altogether an Exandrian version of The Morrigan?

Could Nana Morri and the Matron somehow be the same goddess but in split bodies and across different planes? Sure it may not make a ton of sense, especially rules-wise, but the Matron is a god, after all.

This could tie into Morrighan Ferus’s destruction of the Matron of Ravens bust in EXU Kymal.

The Morrigan is also known for foretelling doom, death, or victory in a battle. The Matron of Ravens foresaw the Calamity and the destruction it would rain down.

We know the Matron was a high-level Wizard who developed “rites” to ascend into godhood. What if she had cast the 8th level necromancy spell, Clone, before she performed these rites as like a failsafe? Did the Matron retain her mortal soul when she ascended? Or did her soul still return to the clone? Maybe her soul split? What if that clone became the Hag we know as Morrigan Calloway, The Fatestitcher? It’s a wild thought, I know. But it’s a fun thought nonetheless.

Idk how to fully explain my thought process, and it’s a super wild theory, but still. I feel like there’s more to explore here, but I will wait until we know more about Nana Morri next week to keep digging.
