"Truth Amongst the Pages of Purana" AQ spoiler. Scroll past if you don't want to get spoiler!!!
I have so many questions... but this is such a nice wrap for Sumeru lore (GOD PLS NATLAN LORE IN AQ TOO LIKE THIS GOD HOYO EVERYONE IM BEGGING YOU LIKE THE BEGGIEST BEGGAR IN THE WHOLE BEGDOM. THE WHOLE LANQUE GANG & STARCALLER & THE REST OF THE PYRO ARCHONS & HEROES). Braindump below:
I cant help but melt at Apep-Nahida interaction... I KNOW that lizard is very fond of her. And her line abt Neuvillette? Pfttt should we tell her?
The title transitions having Dottore's glitch effect and then burning effect is a one-of-a-kind transition. I was GAGGED.
Ngl I thought the Irminsul burning will have more direct consequences... But yk, typical hoyo to store it in later chapters I presume.
Besides... THE PYRO GNOSIS GONE😭 I think we aren't freaked out enough about this. I was already utterly confounded with the Pyro Gnosis absorbing into the Traveler's body like, I quote, phlogiston. I thought it's already established that the Gnosis are made from Seutervoinen or Saarelainen's body??? Why does his remain have phlogiston-like quality or even a phlogiston itself? Venti stored his Gnosis in his body before Signora took it... but he's the Anemo Archon so that makes sense... But the Traveler??? Is it because they're also a Descender??? Unless... "O Syrup Mother, o Phlogiston Father! Let us meld together like sweet honey, and burn like flames..."
I felt emotional when Nahida & the cast prepared the Irminsul burning in the Eternal Oasis... The friends still keeping their vows even after their deaths... Ohhh Sumeru Gods Trio...
What a beautiful final for Dottore. Rest (not) in peace, Mad Heretic. You've seen the end of your experiments and you shall conduct it no more.
It's insane how many "love" theming is thrown at here. Thoth saying (in reference to Deshret's actions) that "Love is both a prison and a monument"... Pantalone & Dottore's conversation about it... Hmm... what does this imply about our next destination huh...
Was about to say that Nicole transferring Irminsul's datas/ability to Aaru to be quite out of nowhere until I remembered Lord of the Night creating the Night Kingdom... Though even then, she needed Ronova and the rest of the Seelies' help... Huh, maybe Nicole learned from her and perfected it through the Hexenzirkel's Ley Lines exploration?
I find it beautiful that the Irminsul saving cutscene callsback to the Sumeru III act cutscene too... Talk about parralels.
That's it for now. Snezhnaya AQ has such a rich background to continue the story...
