Revelations from Keynote II

[Ceridwenae]

Yep, @ Iscah and @Mansion, I agree. Crystal Tower isn't exactly hardcore anymore, and certainly could be added as a requirement, or we can even "revisit" it in terms of people who have been before and "visit" it for first timers, with appropriate dialogue changes. It's one way to circle that square of storytelling.

It doesn't sit 100% well with me, though, to have players complete something that was not necessary to complete previously in order to make the current story make sense. It's just not a deft way of telling a tale. I can't in good conscience say it's a particularly clever move, and that's the chief reason I don't think it can be G'raha in the picture. Honestly, I just want smarter storycrafting and telling. That's not to say it can't happen and I can definitely be wrong, but there's a bit of juggling required to make it so, and that fussing is just a lot of going around the houses when there is likely a much more simple explanation as to who's in the picture.

They've done it before with the Coils and Alisaie, CT and Nero, etc. It wouldn't be anything new.
