    That's true, I think I more was meaning that with them letting us chose even if both could have happened that if they wanted to revisit Ronka they'd need to nail down things more that would kind of undermine the whole point of letting us have some say in interpreting the events and giving I don't think it's super likely we'll get much on the first in the first place, I feel they'd stay away from that all together so what I doubt we'd get much more about Ronka outside of the next lore book being first themed/having a section on it.

    Realistically, Ronka would have been like pretty much any other nation in existence. It'd have some perks and some drawbacks, though judging specifics would prove difficult in hindsight due to differing cultural norms.

    I chose to look upon it fondly and assume the best, though much like any Empire throughout history it likely decayed from within due to overextension and subversion.

    German states 'und seine [redacted].' 'Seine' is a possessive pronoun used for a female form or Plural of something belonging to a male third person.


    Edit: Huh, the French term is 'son', meaning we are looking gor a word that's singular, female in german, and male in french, to fill the gap.

    My guess would be, "Fandaniel and his sisters." As in the Magus Sisters, who are likely Telophoroi.

    French pronoun kinda confirms that it is not a plural term.

    I'm taking Lore way too seriously. And I'm not sorry about that.

    Well then, could it be clever play wherein it's, "Fandaniel and his brother." in French, but then, "Fandaniel and his sister." in German? With the languages assuming the gender of the WoL, which could be either, as a Golbez reference?

    That, but also I just remembered that the French one could also just be starting with a vocal, because in that case it would also use the male version for a female term (sorry, former French teacher).

    It's fun speculating, but I guess we shouldn't forget that those pronouns might be placeholders - the translators would need to know what word is missing.

    Fandaniel and his wife, perhaps? Maybe he had one before he was uplifted, or he's remembering his wife from before the Sundering. Or maybe a single sister. Or a family member.

    I took two semesters of French like 17 years ago. I vaguely remember some of it, lol. Not nearly enough.

    I could speculate all day.

    Put FFIV-reference A into Endwalkers news slot B.
