I'd originally been disappointed with the direction that they took Edda. As much as I enjoyed the awesome creepiness of Tam Tara Hard, when we'd last left Edda she'd said she was inspired by us and planned to stand on her own and become a stronger adventurer. Instead, she fixated on her dead boyfriend and plunged into insanity, as if she was worth nothing as a person without the male in her life (a tired, offensive trait possessed by all-too many women in fiction).

Now that SE has gone this route, though, the last thing I want them to do is cop out and redeem her. "Aw dang, all that evil I unleashed? I'm so sorry, miss Adventurer, you've shown me the error of my ways!" No, that's not going to work. The best sort of "happy" ending they could give her now is for her to realize her potential and have her take charge of her own life (or, unlife, now, as it were). She accomplished more embracing the forces of darkness than she ever managed as a healer, and I'd like that to continue. Now that she's fallen, make her a villain to be reckoned with, and one who isn't doing it all because she can't let go of her lover (who, to be honest, was really kind of a jerk even while he was still alive).
