Relationships of the Twelve

[jesseleewelch]

So, I was working on some lore round-ups and I realized something I didn't realize before. Erik refers to Nymeia as the "wife of Rhalgr" even though their relationship is listed as master and attendant... mistake?

Holy mother of mercy! That is a HUGE find! That means Nymeia is the mother of Halone and Byregot! Any chance you could provide a cutscene or dialogue for where that comes from? Thanks Anonymoose, you are clearly the loremaster.

It was from an NPC added to the game near the end of Version 1 to clear up some old mysteries and foreshadow some new events. He details how there was a conflict between the religious institutions, the Monks, and the King of Ala Mhigo not long before the fall, where the latter justified his position by claiming it was his divine right, given to him by Nymeia. However, the text reads,

To counter their claims of religious righteousness, he simply conjured his own out of thin aether, proclaiming that the throne was his by divine right, given him by the word of Nymeia herself─wife to Rhalgr.

I'm thinking this is an error... Master/Attendant has never meant a marriage (maybe some activities within said marriage, <badum-tish!>) but still, I'm betting on clerical error, lol.

We know the Twelve are based on the Twelve Olympians, and that leaves the door open for a lot of things - for all we know, Althyk's children are by his sister a la the Zeus and Hera situation.
