Re: Random thoughts

I doubt it. They might be old or low quality but if there are higher-tech weapons in useful quantities in Europe I would think the loremasters could get rifles much easier. The loremasters are this world's equivalent of OPEC. Just like OPEC they are powerful because of the resources they control. J...

Re: Random thoughts

**snip** And finally it's nice to see dear old Blighty survived. Gotta wonder about the politics around that sale though. The Loremasters seem to have got what they think of as good weapons. I wonder if the Europeans might consider these cast offs instead? As opposed to things like cannons, rockets...

Re: Spirit Walker, Chap 21 spoilers

The Loremasters are planning to attack the Arcans just not in the classical sense. They don't know about Haven yet, but they do know there is a lot of "wild" Arcans to the west of Noram. Their plan is actually split into 3 parts: 1. Take over the area that we know as the Midwest and kill ...

Re: Spirit Walker - Chapter 20 *Spoilers*

This was mostly for philosophy or money. This would only be relevant if Shiro was stupid or sent the message to someone who was stupid. Again, please stop assuming Shiro is a complete retard , and consider he might possibly be a good judge of character. Heaven knows nothing in the story implies he ...

Re: Spirit Walker - Chapter 19 *Spoilers*

What could be very fun would be Kyven giving false orders to the Loreguard. He pretends to be a page, takes a blank sheet of paper, casts an illuisonary order on it from a Loremaster, gives it to the Loreguard and walks off with the confirmation. When the Loremasters go back and ask "WTF you t...

Re: SPIRIT WALKER - CHAPTER 17 SPOILERS

Flauren is both a weakness and a strength. On one hand he brings more scrutiny to kyven both his and others. On the other hand his criminality could give Kyven another view of the loremasters, also he could be source of arcans if someone else was set up to act as a fence.

Re: SPIRIT WALKER - CHAPTER 16 SPOILERS

[snip] Okay first the only thing Binding in that aggreement is that Kyven would pay any price the Shadowfox deemed acceptable for her aid. The Shadowfox is the one that gets to decide the payment and even warns him that she is allowed to kill him. She also tells him to his face and in her own musin...

Re: SPIRIT WALKER - CHAPTER 16 SPOILERS

After reading it again, I must say the transformation into an Arcan needs to rob a human of his humanity. It is an alchemical process. But is it the human part as in the soul + the dna structure + the intelligence -- or is it something else. My mind can read the words but the concept still baffles ...

Re: SPIRIT WALKER - CHAPTER 16 SPOILERS

The Shadowfox stated that it took 2 to make 1 Arcan, 1 Animal and 1 Human. Understand, my Shaman, it takes two to create an Arcan; the animal and the human, and the nature of the creation required that the human be willing—or at least not struggle during the process. But what those humans were not ...

Re: SPIRIT WALKER - CHAPTER 16 SPOILERS

I'm suprised Kyven didn't persue how the Ancients used magic. The whole conflict is about how crystals, which are the basis for alchemical power, are running out. But the Ancients didn't need crystals! If the Arcans could discover that process, there's a chance it could prevent the entire war. Of c...

Re: SPIRIT WALKER - CHAPTER 16 SPOILERS

F. Oh most definitly they are that egotistical. I also believe that after 600 years most of them believe their own propaganda. They have been raised in it since birth generation after generation. Oh the Top of the organization knows the truth, probably, but their entire power structure, civilizatio...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapter 15

I don't know really how raccoons and squirrels handle(if thats the right word) it, both are tree living creatures as shadowfoxes is mentioned to be. One other thought spring into mind too, most tree living creatures are not all that big, but the shadow skill may allow them to break that rule, and t...

She also doesn't want to see her breed, her children die out. Just wondering how Fel is going to handle getting around the whole Inbreeding aspect with so far having only one breeding pair, I have an idea but not sure if its right since there is still only the one male in the equation. I'm thinking...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapter 15

This must be a tricky concept for you to understand, since you missed it the first two times, but Shadow Fox doesn't always get her own way. For whatever reason she ****ed up Kyven's transformation slightly. And again, for whatever reason she could only produce one Umbra. She might want her pets to...

Re: Spirit Walker - Spoilers - Chapter 15

*snip* Well, I've stated before, the Shadow Fox is not nice. That should have been abundantly clear by now. But part in parcel with her not being nice is that she's also not very worried about how others feel. She trampled all over Kyven, and that was not just a special case. She'll trample over an...
