Cute, but not much to this one, I think.

Interesting enough in it's own right.

I do hope they do this for the rest of the Arcadion 'boss' characters though - I'd certainly enjoy learning more about Eutrope and her sisters in particular.

I don't know if that might be the case They're pretty critical in the game and they had the most screen time of all the other arcadion fighters, but you never know!

I'm on the etymology train again and uncertain whether this is interesting or a sign they need to track their words-with-meanings better.

From previous translations given, Tonawawta means "sunchaser" in their own language and the jackrabbit minion Shshuye means "leaping sun" specifically in Shetona, but now we're told Shetona itself means "sun divided" and that seems to line up with the Tonawawta word while not matching the Shetona word - unless it's just "sh" maybe. I guess it the weird division in Shshuye has to come from somewhere.

Also, the definition itself is a weird thing to drop on us without giving any context for what it actually means, significance-wise.

They might be getting “sun” from the Nahuatl word “tona” and Shshuye’s tool tip could be a case of inconsistent etymology, ignorant in-game source, or a different writer who was just straight up making stuff up.

I thought it was a really sweet story. Gave some nice insight into the lives of some of the people that were trapped in the dome. Not much in terms of new lore or information, but overall a pleasant read!

The one thing that I took from this though is the fact that they described the president as a "Stylishly dressed older man". I'm sticking to my theory that he's a Manderville shard from the Ninth
(In all seriousness I don't even know if the Mandervillans were on Etheirys prior to the sundering, I don't think so)

Have you done the Manderville quest line at 100? Just wondering as I am not sure how I would feel about another “Godbert” running around.
