It's the latter. Keys amplify your power. The original Demiurges all came to Throne without them, and forged the keys after conquering the city, IIRC. All the second-generation Demiurges obtained keys after Throne was connected to the 777,777 universes


I thought those were from Zoss splitting his power with them, since it took Metatron's help to forge the key.

zoss didnt exactly need metatron's help, just his lunch money

the other demiurges who original rode the aether to find zoss were given keys after but you dont need a key to do that or be royalty or probably enough manifest crown stuff

i think crowns might just be a fuckin bedrock concept of the universe

Alison is here to disrupt the traditional power paradigms by introducing royalty-on-demand. You don't need a Conquering King ALL the time, so with this innovative new model we're introducing gig-based Royalty who just shows up long enough to really break poo poo in your locale, and then immediately returns to their room in an apartment shared with 4 other people to try to figure out what the gently caress they're doing with their lives.

I just woke up from a nap full of revelatory thoughts and theories about this page and the nature of Maya and Incubus' relationship.

Baby Incubus isn't in the yellow city. Baby Incubus is in Maya's memory of the yellow city and specifically her recollection of (jealous?) ambition and pride that made her feel the way she does.

Maya's Ambition nee Incubus will drive her to greatness, demiurgery, conquering 10k words in the middle army, etc.

At some point before the Final 7, Maya goes slightly Royal and decided "Eh gently caress this whole business, Meti was right, I'm an idiot, I'm out" and somehow manifests Incubus out of her mind, giving him the Key, and peaces out.

This is why there other demiurges poo poo on him, this is why he tries to recapture that lightning in a jar via all his burnt out addicts in The Pit, this is why he's so decrepit, this is why Maya is in the prophecy picture and keeps asking Allison about death. Incubus was born of want but not Want.

tldr Incubus is a living meme nurtured and given form by Yung Demiurge Maya and his appearance in this page is metaphorical and not physical.

How about Incubus stalked Maya and swiped her key? Does that square with what Jadis said?

I am seeing him winding up with the Key of Kings by the end and Maya and Allison will have to team up with the power of Want and Friendship

This is interesting. The text box could easily belong to Maya or Incubus or both at once.

Probably not, it's likely his spire seen on this map:



We don't really know where the remains of the Yellow City, the moon, and the other orbiting cities ended up, at least not based on any map we've yet seen.

Ogam is just the dude who made the first map of Throne and he accidentally poked a hole in his map. It's a dumb running joke all the cartographers keep going for shits and giggles.
