Here's something for you to mull over, Moose: what if the Scions are dead, or near enough to it, but Minfillia is going to save them anyway? We still need some form of solid answer as what it means to be an Archon. What it really means.

The Scions can't be gone from the story, because unlike Moenbryda, they still have a role to play. Seeing a gap in Yda's mask only solidified that there's still so much we don't know about them, and now that we've gotten rid of the endless political duties that have constantly kept us from getting to know them better, we're finally going to get a chance to deal with them as people, and given our current cosmic nerf, as equals.

I think. I hope. I think I hope?
