yeah alright just gonna do ch 17 and the interludes in one go. fuck it
Let’s start with the main chapter. This is gonna be very stream-of-consciousness so bear with me.
To me, this chapter felt a little bit short and lacking, but I was expecting that, because it’s setting up the North Grastaea arc as well as the general atmosphere of Grams. We knew going in that the church was going to be a big deal, but now we know HOW much of a big deal--to the point that the papacy and monarchy are at odds with each other. Now let’s get into the nitty gritty.
Origa and Graht. Judging from the opening scene, Origa is an auspex like Zethia, or at least possesses similar power. She seems to have the apostles directly under her command and is crazy confident in her power. However, there’s a few things about her that stand out to me. Her outfit, and more specifically her headpiece, harken back to Empress Zethia’s design. She’s even got red eyes! I don’t think we’ve heard about the last of Morsayati; his story and influence are still going to be heavily intertwined in the campaign. Graht also mentions a Basel who from a lot of inferring from other characters I think is either the king of Grams or at least someone with a lot of authority.
Ranzal and Volk. It looks like we’re going to be getting these little mini-arcs for each of the main cast, huh? A bit formulaic, but I don’t mind. Ranzal’s development through this chapter is really fascinating and answers a lot of questions I’d been thinking about myself. It’s important to remember who Ranzal was before all this--he’s the Arc of the Storm, one of the best mercenaries around. He’s done a lot before this, and he’s gonna do a lot after this. He KNOWS he can be self-sufficient, so does he still have a right to work with Euden? The Agito seem to have a sixth sense for Halidom anxiety, and Volk shows up right on cue and digs his claws into Ranzal in a pretty subtle way--he calls Euden pathetic which, sure, the Agito have a thing for doing that. But he also calls out Euden’s decision in 14--his sister over the world. And we’ve SEEN the result of that decision--just look at Zena’s world, where everyone we know is dead. But here’s what Volk doesn’t understand, though: Ranzal isn’t disappointed in Euden. The guy loves his sister. That’s who he is. Family is a HUGELY important thing to him, and he just had all that ripped into pieces and set on fire before his eyes. And it takes a while, sure, but Ranzal arrives at his answer eventually--there’s a lot about the world that he doesn’t know, but sticking with Euden is the best way to learn more.
Chelle’s gatling gun. I have nothing fun to say about this. I’m just saying, Cygames, that if her eventual gala alt doesn’t have her wielding a gatling gun, I’m going to be very disappointed.
Sheila. This adorable mystery showed up at the very end. We know nothing about her except that she can’t speak and she’s a guide to the faerie kingdom. She doesn’t have wings like Meene or Notte; is she a wingless fairy, or a changeling child? Her style of dress is also VERY reminiscent of Sandalphon’s, being all white and gold and black. I want to know more about her so, so very badly. When are we getting her as a party member, Cygames?
Alright, that’s enough of 17. Let’s get into the interludes. I can tell from the thumbnail of the first that these are gonna be spicy.
A Clandestine Conversation: Return of Nevin! And Sandalphon, who I’m a bit more interested in. The only difference in her sprites is the icon in her eyes--she doesn’t even blink. Not only that, but looking at her halo, she appears to have a power cord of some kind. Is she some kind of hyperrealistic android? One of her sprites even has a power symbol! Nevin’s deduction is also interesting; seems there’s a rift going on between the apostles and the cardinal, who we know had Basileus steal the sealing stone. It seems Sandalphon and Nevin have come to the same conclusion. Nevin also seems to know a thing or two about Euden’s true origins, though it’s probably less that he knows specifically about Euden and more that he’s privy to changeling matters.
Ambition: So it seems that Cardinal Graht is the one that’s been pulling the strings behind every affair, which was implied in the chapter itself, but here it’s made much more plain. It also seems that Harle is Graht’s direct subordinate, though it’s obvious neither of them actually trust the other. And Harle seems to have some kind of plan with the Dawnshard. We know the Sacred Shards are all derived from Alberius’s sword that shattered during his final confrontation with Morsayati, so what makes the Dawnshard so special?
And... that’s it. Ambition implies that Harle is going to clash with Euden’s party in the Faerie Kingdom, but he also suggests that there’s more than one group that will meet them both there. The Agito are heading there as well, we know, but is there anyone else?
...You know, we haven’t heard from Beren and Phares for a while...

I want Zethia or Zena or Empress Morsayati vore art but finding artists to commission is scary, anyone got advice?
You should find artists that would be okay with drawing nsfw art. I'm sure there are some, especially over at twitter. @/dragalialust is one such account for Dragalia Lost specifically
Vore might be up on their alley too? Be sure to ask them to make sure 👍

Kidnapper, over a magic crystal: We have your sister.
Leonidas, looking at Empress Zethia: Actually she’s right beside me.
Kidnapper, frustrated: Then who the hell just asked for chocolate milk with a straw and made us cut the crust off her PB&J?
Leonidas: Oh, God.
Kidnapper: What?
Leonidas: You have Chelle.
Chelle, in the background: Is that Leo? Tell him I’m not here.

ZETHIA ♔ DRAGALIA LOST
✽  a cold empress trying to flood the world with fiends ✽  possessed by something known as the ‘other’  ✽  was the absolute sweetest girl and loved her brother so much ✽  retitled herself as the ‘auspex of the nether’ ✽  again, this isn’t really zethia’s consciousness, it’s the other ✽  not sandalphon is her right-hand man ✽  definition of a tyrant --- rewards those who support her, consequences will come if they don’t ✽  secretly hoping in later story chapters the other gets purged from her so i can write cute kind zethia

Euden only got to the point of desperation that he did in trying to save Zethia because he kept being pushed further and further in repeatedly failing to save her. If Notte were the one possessed instead, things would probably go almost the same, including Euden agreeing to trade himself for Notte. And now I want to see the universe with Empress Notte!

Imagine trying to explain Zena to civilians. No this is not the crazy evil empress that tried to rule the empire; yes we know that she dresses the same and looks just like Zethia
