Disappointing to hear Aulus is confirmed dead but when he wasn't mentioned in 4.1 I feared this was the case. I honestly didn't get the impression from his final voice line that he was dying in the dungeon but whatever.

The extra red mage lore is interesting with the origins of their sword play, and knowing for sure that the 'ver' in front of all their spells stands for vermilion. Seemed like a good guess before but nice to have confirmation.

I hope they go into detail on all weapon types like they did for lances/spears. More Hingashi lore will be appreciated as I'm developing an Hingan rp alt.
