Raimdelle Reborn: The Neverending Bestiary

[Kyan]

I have read somewhere, though, that in a leve there are voidsent slain who leave a nasty purple aether that is rejected by our own world and flounders before it crumbles, so to speak, unable to join with our own.

Not sure if it is the same, but you may be thinking of the guildhest (why do I keep spelling it guildheist? LOL) Annoy the Void.

Buso draws his power from eerie blue flames which erupt from the carcasses of minions summoned from the void and then sacrificed here in this realm. While these flames burn, Buso will be nigh indestructible. Extinguish the fires before attempting to engage him.

The NPC tells you as you battle that the blue flames are the aetheric remains of the hippogryphs that you kill, and that it is aether rejected by our Lifestream. Buso actually draws strength by consuming this aether - but it seems that the source of the aether does not matter when it comes to voidsent, just as long as it's aether. I would like to redo this guildhest for the text that pops up whilst in the battle.

I think we should move any more Void-talk to a Void-thread, but I think I am done for now. I would like to see what happens with the plot, probably beyond the next patch.

On the topic of Elementals: I only played 1.0 for 6 months, and played as THM and CON mainly. I only achieved about level 27 as my highest rank. I do recall, though, there was a conjurer hearer, an NPC who was particularly talented with communing with Elementals inside trees, who wished he was able to speak to Elementals inside of metal and airships. I am assuming that, the notion of Elementals being inside of metal or airships has been removed from lore? I used to love zooming in on them and admiring their little horns - I was so happy to see them return in the Conjurer 30 quest, briefly. Though, they do remind me of faeries.
