Well, alright then. That's a sad mystery which just gave that seemingly unrelated songstress a proper wicked dagger.

And it could go either way narrative-wise. She's a songstress, who hate that sort of thing, but it's her brother, which could be good or bad. She might already know or might not, and there's potential there for an initial reaction which she regrets too late. And of course it can weave back into Cicero's main concern at the worst possible time.

What I find interesting is that if I was told this sort of plotline in a vacuum I would assume some hamhanded kludge, just because we see it done badly so often, but it *works*. The story in this game is excellent; his character did not depend on this information but it doesn't contradict it, finding it out recontextualizes some things but it does not invalidate them.

I for one am super stoked to find these Trehroir artifacts and start making Mascherines again.

At least we know that Ven has not yet encountered CTF. Otherwise he'd be dead and the Astiguary would be a charred heap of toxic ash.

I may be overly cynical, but Mascherines are so powerful that if we learn more of the history I assume the crimes of those sacrificed will be things like "jaywalking without a permit" and "refused to volunteer to become a Mascherine."

Yeah it's definitely implied by what we've seen so far that there must have been thousands of the things lying around by the time the empire collapsed, the scale is way beyond what makes sense as purely a capital punishment. I'm betting at some point they quit with all the rituals and just started mass mask-ification of undesirables.

But matching eye colors only counts if it's heterochromia! Tons of people have the same colored eyes!

Clearly the dopplegangers from dopplepopolis have infiltrated are ranks more thoroughly than anyone could have imagined.

I think he was referring to the other traitor. When told to destroy the pillars the commander seemed worried that we were still in there fighting, which wouldn't mesh if he'd been ordered to kill us.

As far as I know it's just Suddenly Dumbo-Sothoth. I'd assume the Songstresses kept a tight lid on that for PR reasons.

Hey lady, the point when half the city is in flames is maybe a little late to start having misgivings about the path you've chosen.
