Fordola

[JunseiKei]

~snip~

Yes and no. Basically, Hraesvelgr told Ysayle that she was no different than Thordan, spinning lies for others to follow blindly.

With Fordola, we can kind of see the same thing happening here. Telling Lyse they will never free Ala Mhgio, only to witness it happen while a prisoner to the Alliance. For all intents and purposes, we accomplished something thought impossible (not too dissimilar to ending a 1,000 year war with dragon-kind).

Also, I think that people are gravely underestimating how much of a difference having the WoL around is. Without the WoL, pretty sure the Alliance would not have the strength to actually take back Ala Mhigo. Pretty sure Zenos would have slaughtered them all. Afterall, his whole gimmick was having you as a play toy simply because you showed promise, unlike everyone else. We already know our characters are pretty untouchable at this point (and I hope SE does something to make this perceived power come into check).

Right now, be it Fordola or Yotsuyu, I can't really care about them. They didn't leave a strong impression, thanks to Zenos overshadowing them. They're just underlings following orders. We know their motives for why they took orders to begin with. Their life, or death, have no actual bearing on the story that we can really feel since they were made rather.................. sterile from the events happening (Yotsuyu washed away with Gotetsu; Fordola arrested and removed in Alliance prison).
