The Final Chorus

[CyrilLucifer]

What I am also wondering is how Dark Dorklander is going to fit with the rest of the story? We run into him in 3.1 and he sods off.

Keep in mind Elidibus was introduced in 2.1 and has only directly interacted with our character once, despite us having about 6 different scenes from his PoV. Like Elidibus, the WoDs are meant for the longer term, not the shorter term.

However, I believe we have a Nabriales thing here more than an Elidibus one; Nabriales was shown a few times on and off throughout 2.X, first being introduced in 2.0, then shown quite strongly in 2.1, then less so in 2.3 and 2.4 before finally taking an active role in 2.5. What Nabriales did was not kill Moenbryda in the overall plot, but open the plot to further developments regarding Ascian mortality and how active/passive Elidibus is.

The WoD will do is the same; they themselves may not be as relevant as we'd like to believe, they're probably not going to be game changers that destroy the world, but what they reveal and the side effect of their defeat/existence in general will be what changes things. It's that suspiciously unnamed Overlord, I swear.

I wouldn't put my money on Darklander until the end of 3.4 or 3.5 - if there is a 3.5.
