Thread: Patch 3.4 - Soul Surrender

So, to me, if the masked man is Ilberd then I believe it safe to assume that he has outside help and will resort to something horrible in an attempt to liberate his nation.

This is one of the reason I doubt that our masked man is actually Ilberd. He and the rest of the Braves are wanted men now, so revealing himself publicly and drawing attention, even masked, this early will only risk himself captured. He also has no way to be able to persuade the people of Little Ala Mhigo, not after his betrayal also caused Wildred's death, something everyone there seems to be aware of. Given his elaborate outfit, and the people behind him look to me like those of Corpse Brigade, I'm starting to think that the masked guy is actually the leader of the Brigade.

As much as I want Ilberd to come back just so I can cut off his arm, it's too early and too sloppy for him to resurface again, especially in that manner. If the masked guy is truly someone from the Corpse Brigade aka former Royal Guards of Ala Mhigo, in my opinion it'll make for more interesting narrative.
