Tales from the Shadows

[Alleo]

It is interesting to know Hades was the last to be apart of the convocation of the fourteen, meaning our original self already held a prominent position within Amaurotian society before Emet-Selch seat was filled, wonder what we were in charge of and what our seat name was too.

.

Well we do know from ingame informations that the positions do get free from time to time and since we dont know when this was happening it could be that we were not part of it. Like Scintilla said, why would we need to be informed if we are already part of it?

Anyway: I really liked this story. I really hope that we get more such things ingame in some ways, because it saddens me that such informations are right now only found outside the game. And its really interesting how those few sentences already made me like Hythlo. I thought of him as more of a serious person after the talk ingame but he seems to be a nice and funny guy, while Hades seemingly always was a bit moody.

I guess the underworld is just their name for the lifestream? But if the cycle of death and rebirth is quite known to them and some can even see the departed souls flying around until they get to the underworld...why could they not accept the sacrifices? I always thought that death simply was not something common to them and such a big amount might have been too much to bear but seemingly they die just like us, but are probably getting a lot older. So why their reaction after the willing sacrifices?

Also its good to know that most of their creations were without souls. This at least shows why they just grind the monsters back into crystals in that one quest.

Edit: Its a bit sad that the past!us (even if he/she is not us) was not shown in any way in this. They are not us directly anyways so I see no harm in them giving the person a bit of character.
