Thread: Revelations from Patch 3.4

Yda's father was a prominent figure in the Ala Mhigan revolution who fought alongside Gundobald. That's why he recognizes and is so fond of her. As to why she was hiding from him... probably because she wants to forget about Ala Mhigo, given it's what she's done for the past 20 years. That we're obviously setting up to do something there has her understandably anxious and worried - it's going to be a guerrilla war to free her home country. Not exactly the most pleasant of tasks from any end.

Still not inclined to believe Papalymo asked to take Tupsimati to keep us from giving it to Yda, or having it fall into the wrong hands. The Key to Azys Lla was kind of out of our control - it was let it stay in Bismarck's stomach and let him keep eating the Sea of Clouds, or kill him and risk the villains taking it. We chose the latter and they took it before we could even touch the damn thing if I remember right. Yda is the least magically capable of the Scions (barring Thancred, who is functionally the same as a Garlean these days), so I don't know if she could even use Tupsimati or what she would use it for.

I've been known to be more trusting than I really should be though, so take that for what you will.
