The differences in how Atlanteans handle titles comes up in the episode after next. Poseidonis has the one marrying into the crown getting an equal level title, though the one born to it has precedence.
Thank you, corrected.
Think I'm okay using it as a verb.
Thank God!

For your invaluable assistance!
Thank you, corrected.
It's how their language works.
Thank you, corrected.
I'm suddenly reminded of the "secret" ending for Far Cry 4.

The supreme acme of skill isn't to win a battle without fighting, it's to recruit your enemies to fight with you.

Oh, I can see that now you point it out.
Maybe a comma after "constructs" would clarify?
Nope, just an amateur pedant
.This story is interesting enough for me to want to fix it, submitting typos is easy in the forum format, and daily updates mean there's a really fast turnaround. So I've focused on it.

So, story-wise, what are the chances that Alan will flat-out refuse to take a lantern made by a weaponer of Qward if he learns where it came from? Because I can see this happening. He already refused several morally dubious ways to prolong his life. "Recruited an omnicidally evil alien to make you a lantern in exchange for providing him with data to make even more horrific weapons of mass destruction" is not very moral, at least depending on the spin of it.
Bling-wise I am really curious about where this is going. Paul has recruited the Weaponer, one of the best weapon makers in the universe. He has access to Controllers, one of the best tool makers in the universe. At least Hephaestus seemed to be interested in going to space, and is a supreme magesmith; Vulcan might be interested too. Paul has access to a number of OCP materials and technologies (I outlined this before), both "mundane", "scientifically hyperadvanced" and "arcane". He has, on numerous occasions, stated that he is planning on reequipping his corps and darkstars. For story reasons, Reach obviously won't be steamrolled over. But, realistically, Paul and co should be able to produce equipment that would put them quite ahead of the Reach in terms of offense, defense, utility and movement speeds. I am really curious about how this is going to be handled and how Reach will escalate to compensate.

For one, the Reach is apparently freaking huge while the OLC and associates are scaling up from the ground up and that buys them a lot of time to develop countermeasures if nothing else. They probably haven't survived this long without being somewhat good at it.

This recruitment would seem a bit unrealistically easy, except that Paulphidian just tanked a superweapon. Gotta take someone like that seriously.
I can actually see this working out well. Get him to help wipe out the Reach, quietly train a replacement, then stab him in his sleep, in accordance with his own beliefs and Guardian rulings on the subject of Qwardians.
The ring might complicate that, of course, but, Embodiment of Avarice. If he poses any kind of threat to what is hers, he can be cut off from the orange light.

Tanked and converted it into his own.
And remember, canonically, he managed to create quasi-permament WHITE LIGHT constructs.
He's a madboy, but now he's Paul's madboy.
They can also do exponential growth pretty damn well. Better than Reach, really. What with orange lantern self-sustaining constructs. Hell, it would not surprise me if "assimilate self on death" could be added to the rings' functionality (optional and consensual, obviously), and we already know that orange light constructs can make more of themselves.

He never did.
If I recall correctly, Orange Night that Kadabra knows about comes from when Reach tried to use / ally with / subvert Larfleeze in their attempts to destroy / conquer Green Lantern Corps. At least I remember @Mr Zoat saying something like this. It wasn't initiated by Paul, and, so far, it seems that all downstream time travelers come from futures without Paul.

You do not recall correctly, unless there's a WoG that I missed. Literally all we know is that Kadabra mentioned Orangest Night, and Truggs mentioned the Reach; nothing appears to have connected these two future events.

It's pretty easy to see why Guy is so against this, but wow is this bad new for the Reach too. Which makes it all better at the end doesn't it?
