Master Rune of Infernoes (that it uses Magma Wyrm Blood for ingredients feels very appropriate). "The armour is engulfed in a shield of flame that burns hotter than a Gromril forge. The protective bubble can be detonated in a wave of cleansing fire that can render foes to ash and leaves allies...

Alternate idea; Rune of Spite or Master Rune of Spite. So that if you manage to hit the Gronti, it deals damage to you. :V ... Combined with a Talisman that has some Rune of Challenge stuff on it. Forcing people to attack it rather than avoiding it. Because every proper MMO Tank needs a Taunt...

I think the big problem with any "self-repair capabilities" -- no matter how much one might say "Well, but what if we meet something that can destroy Adamant? What then, huh?" -- is that in order to self-repair Adamant, you have to... ... create a Rune that materializes more Adamant. You can't...

Hmm... If we're going to give it a breath-weapon Rune Combo, are we going to boost said Runes with Elder Wyrm dragon blood, perhaps? In order to 'flavor' that rune combo with, well, dragon essence? In hopes that this plays well and special with the Dragon Gronti... It (apparently?) might have...

Holy fuck, torroar. I just wanted to say that you are an awesome writer, and your writing is awesome. O_O Just... it feels like you bring us into a whole world. And you bring that world alive; it feels like the world is living and vibrant, and it also feels like -- whatever setting it might be...

Heh, maybe. "This really looks like a mountain-esque stone-thing," says guy trying to give a compliment or to relate a thing to his experiences, but who has only ever seen and lived in a mountain. The other candidate for super-important-thing that might have influenced grammar, would be the...

Maybe '-az' came from Karaz? Thus, it's not that grammar bends around Karaz and -az. It's that the language use came from the importance mountains played in Dwarf psychology and mythology and linguistics in the first place. Perhaps Dwarfs started referring to some important things with '-az'...

Wow. Well. That does make it sound like it was just pure spite and desire to humiliate rather than any calculation. An offramp from the War of the Ancients could potentially have been found, from those who were aiming for a glorious war or wanted repayment and vengeance and thus were pushing for...

Hm, well, here's a possible interpretation of Caledor II's action; he was trying to use a symbolic humiliation and act of diplomatic grandstanding to avoid the necessity of going to war. Perhaps his courtiers were yelling at him "One of our cities got wiped out, wtf, you need to immediately go...

Yeah, but there wasn't a tradition of Phoenix Kings marrying Everqueens. The Everqueen was just who the King of Nagarythe wound up marrying and having kids with. The way I see it, it's plausible that 3 groups wanted power; Morathi, wanting power for herself, through her son. The set of...

She would not in fact be vulnerable to therapy no jutsu. She might be vulnerable to being manipulated or mindfucked or further socially fucked with via words, if she is brought down from power and thus placed in a horrible position in terms of power and thus in terms of mental mindset, yes. But...

Yeah, the duel scene can work either way. Perhaps it is the first time that Alyssa overcomes Hultressa, and becomes emboldened by it. Begins to believe that maybe she could be powerful. Or that maybe her sister could serve her. Is only good for playing second fiddle to her. Perhaps it's the...

I wonder which sister was which. Which one fell behind, and which one hesitated and tried to help the first one, in the first Druchii raid? We're not really told. It can be either of them. And Alyssa can be humiliated and feel the hopelessness or pointlessness of the human raid, whichever sister...

Alyssa seemed motivated by fear and self-interest and desire to not be powerless, to not be wounded by words or lash. While Hultressa seemed to be averse and withdrawn. The bit where Alyssa laughs over the actions of the humans taking shelter being futile... that seems like it was pretty...

Question about the soulbond -- could it result in Natasha being able to use the Light of Summer now? Just as Frederick can now use the Ledstali armor despite the "must be an Ice Witch or immune to cold or something" shtick, perhaps the Light of Summer now also might work for Natasha? Or is it...
