Hmm. Nice post. I am willing to jump ship to Sliver of Evening, if you vote for Selune since it seems like you don't have strong feeling on that vote.
He might not have the potential to keep but, but the real question is whether the apocryphal has the ability to throw him enough of bone to be a threat to us even after the temple?

[ ] The self-defeating stance – The ultimate stance of the forebearer, for it assures that no one shall reach the apex that the forebearer himself attained. Any attempt of mimicking the forebearer's powers, will inevitably trigger the self-defeating stance, with it increasing in power and magnitude the closer one becomes to the forebearer.
Paradoxically, the only way to not trigger the self-defeating stance would be to become the forebearer himself.
It's effects are at first subtle: The individual will grow his powers in sub-optimal ways, not noticing, or caring, about potential synergies that are available, on top of that, they will start to take more and more risks, and become less and less worried by the consequences of their actions.
As it increases in potency, the individual will start to care more about things that wouldn't help in their survival, or would even lessen their odds of surviving, eventually becoming an obsession with the individual. The most common form of it occurring is by an obsession with their aesthetic, or perhaps having too much sentimentality for inanimate objects, sometimes caring more about them than what would be useful for their own survival.
At its peak, the individual will become schizophrenic, their choices having no rhyme or meaning behind them, on top of the person becoming nearly uncapable of even short-term planning, and constantly throwing themselves into danger.
The only way to survive the self-defeating stance is by logic and will. One must always think rationally about their own actions, and be willing to shed sentimentality on the face of mortal danger. Only then can a individual be worthy to become the foreberear.

If you look at the blurb for Crimson Flare, you might be disappointed to find only two effects before saving the Azure Ring:
Elevates the wielder's Rank by a variable amount [Currently: to 5]
+2 Rank for purposes of wielding the Chief Dominion.
Here, I'd like to point out how utterly ridiculous these two effects are.
1.) Elevates the wielder's Rank by variable amount [Currently: to 5]
Rihaku is keeping mum about whether this variable amount will increase going into the future or not, so instead I will just note that an equivalent benefit was worth 4 picks. Bigger active rank means more things go our way, means peer-level enemies go from scary to kind of wimps, to be honest. People have talked Rank up so much, so I won't reiterate it.
2.) +2 Rank for purposes of wielding the Chief Dominion
Hoo boy. This one means that we get to massively increase our DoTs, basically squishing whoever we meet that isn't outranking us. It means our self buffs are massively stronger. Remember how we give ourselves STATS with Chief Dominion? We do that here as well. We heal better, heal Versch, heal our allies. Our blood sense increases, making us better at tracking enemies down and watching our flank. Our Rank is getting SO swole. In a direct confrontation where Rank is meaningless, then Silver is concedably stronger and more potent. Consider the additional battle utility that we get from Rank and better Blood that Silver cannot provide-- many of our problems can be solved by BIG MECH, or better regeneration, reducing the actual impact of complications and wounds on our person.
Rihaku makes a cogent point about how Rank differences affect STAT differences here:
If there is a Rank disparity between us and the enemy, it will take comparatively more effort and resources offloaded into stats to compensate for that. Enemies that outrank us but are peer-level overall will find the stat disparity more easily compensated for than enemies that outstat us but are peer-level overall with a Rank disparity.
Thus, the point is made: Rank is a more direct analogue for straight power than stats are.
3.) Special Advancement
It doesn't lock us out of picking a pure potential option, or a pure utility option. The other EFBs for Ring are either Weird and Speculative (Dreaming) or Amazing but Scary and Dangerous (Ruling Ring). If we spend on a concedably powerful EFB such as Silver, we lock ourselves into undesirable buys for Ring. Instead, spend on a more agreeable Ring EFB, and choose later between the Evening Sky EFBs.

Hmm. Selune concerns me just a little. She does buy us a few updates of safety, which we can use to regenerate the Arete she costs.
The issue is that we only have like three days without the Apocryphal Curse left. So if we take Selune it's likely the Apocryphal Curse is going to kick back in while we're inside the Inner Temple perimeter.
Effectively, our choice this vote is if we're going to take a risk now, with the possibility of Gondar's poisoned arrows or Avecarn seeing through us, or take a risk later, with Selune.
Paying to take the risk later might pay off, if we can generate enough Arete in the mean time to get Silver of Evening, which would put our combat power at extremely high levels and give us the social power to talk Selune into joining us. The question is whether we can generate the 12-ish Arete we'd need to get Silver of Evening with Selune before the Apocryphal inevitably blows our cover.
Do you mind if I take a bit to think on it?

Sure. Though, I will say it's about taking risk later with lot more intel about the temple and opponents we will find in there.
Flare is more of a "win now option". It puts us at level of High Marshal and the like, it deals with contest of primacy, it extends Letrizia's lifespan, it heals Verse, it fixes our rank, heals us(?) etc. It gives us all things we need.
Fact that it's a perfectly serviceable EFB on top of that just makes it a must pick.

her bodyguard means no one should expect the ball to be dropped and her motivations of being stir-crazy are reasonable ones
It also commits us to rescuing the Azure Ring in order to fully capture those benefits, gating some behind the very obstacles we need its power for. While I see the added incentive to stay the course as more feature than bug, ensuring the thread's conviction doesn't falter at the last minute, that's not a downside that can be dismissed.

It isn't a downside, because Hunger won't let us leave for long even if we wanted to. We're already committed. This is just acknowledging it.

If we get Crimson then the ruling ring must be delayed until we get a Sky Imperial purchase, or else we lose the Panoply special advancement. Maybe you're fine with that. Seems most players aren't.
Given Gondar's stated motivations regarding the ten million people in the Inner Ring, I'm anticipating a decision point where we're forced to choose between the Ring's suffering and their welfare. Hunger is committed now, without that reality staring him in the face, but aligning the incentives ahead of time can't hurt. But the full benefits requiring the completion of our objective is a downside, whatever way you slice it.
Yeah, if we get a Ring or Sky Imperial advancement next pretty much everyone who knows what the special advancement entails will fight tooth and nail to ensure we qualify for it. If Crimson or Silver wins, we've absolutely got to get one for our third artifact.

Isn't that a neat little trolley problem. I'd love a Tyrant proc against the concept of ethical analysis in its entirety. Moral Precepts are potentially as powerful as the Accursed, but Hunger hasn't travelled enough to verify that proposition. Therefore Hunger might reject their authority over him under the exact wording of Doom of the Tyrant.
(Alternatively I'll get to indulge my special interest of applied ethics while farming for Arete.)

Most players aren't ok with losing the Panoply bonus. I'm saying that Crimson has a risk of delaying Ruling Ring.
Talace

Crimson will delay Ruling Ring! As a Ruling Ring advocate myself, I've accepted that 1.) it is kind of foolish to risk a contest of Primacy without even knowing what other Rings are like or how they react and 2.) other voters might not conscience picking Ruling Ring even if we complete the parts piecewise. As such, since prospectively it is difficult for many voters to stomach Ruling Ring EVEN after we take an Evening Sky Imperial Advancement (I hope I'm using the term right), it makes more sense to go for the Panoply bonus instead of risk staving off Ruling Ring and thereby the Panoply bonus until we feel ready for a good bit.
Thus, the optimal path is already before us: Cut Through -> Crimson Flare -> ES Imperial Advancement (I'm partial to all of them) -> Ruling Ring

Though, if we get Cut Through, Crimson Flare, and then a Evening Sky EFB, that puts us in a position where we can nab the Special Advancement for having one EFB for each of the panoply. Are you going to pass that up for Ruling Ring?
(Though ofc, if we can get Ruling Ring on top, that'd be great.)

...if that were the case, I would very much regret all my life choices. Alas, the problems of having a shoddy currency and not knowing what comes after [ ] Trinity - ... or if that even is the Special Advancement in question.
I would only pass it up if the two were mutually exclusive and Ruling Ring just happened to be better in my estimation, it turned out to be detrimental to future progress, or seriously offensive to my moral sensibilities. I don't find any of these possibilities likely, but in the case that the Special Advancement fits any of these characteristics, I would take a pass.
Hrggg I lost most of the reactions I wrote today. There was a lot of material I prewrote early in the morning. I am writing all of this for the second time.
Life is pain. We need more Arete.
...Or maybe infiltrating an evil moon temple civilization, maybe. That could also work, presuming we get consistent power-ups from the social and intrigue challenges. Who knows, if we pick Letrz's cousin, we might even get some fluff out of it, just before we inevitably put a great number of actual people to the sword without any remorse or mercy.
...I wonder if her worries are born of memes, or there is something in her backstory. Eh. Probably just being Space Opera Asuka rather than anything particularly serious.
On an unrelated note, at least we didn't take the blade into our bath. Though maybe that doesn't matter too much, given that we actually can summon it and telekinetically manipulate it to a degree. It is kind of hilarious; basically his entire panoply is still in reach, even now. Trying to ambush Hunger right now is no better than walking up straight to him and then throwing a punch.
No comments about the Evening trunks, so I am going to assume they are cannon until proven otherwise.
...Sharpbright is going to be so good when she actually gets Ennoblement, I think. The fastest way to skip ahead on the power growth curve is to start from a better position, and we could fling her pretty far with Crimson Flare. And having great Astral Rank actually helps with Longevity, too... Hrm.
I wonder if Armaments benefit in any way from having a high-rank pilot. With Foremost apparently actually having some heroes of unusually high rank, I wouldn't be surprised if Versch has some functionalities that could be unlocked only by a particularly potent pilot; Armaments not having any sort of way to exploit having such circumstances would be rather strange.
...I wonder what Hunger typically wears under the Evening Cloak; don' think it was ever described.
...Notably, Hunger is probably hauntingly handsome himself as of right now, so it's not like he can't fire right back in this social combat.
...Aaaand she stills refers to Hunger as Lord Hunger. I wonder if this is some sort of a sneaky teasing thing, or she just can't stop herself. Does she respect that one line about Hunger being nobility that much? I guess the imperial etiquette probably was drilled into her since infancy, you don't easily let go or forget things like these.
But seriously, this here is almost a critical hit. I wonder how often she actually does get sincere praise from people she cares about; she probably got a lot of empty platitudes as a duchess and an Armament pilot, but considering that her dad was presented as somewhat of a hardass and her social circle is lacking, she might have been a little deprived of such small yet precious things.
An unfortunate reality of being a progression-oriented Cursebearer. Well, the mercenary girl is still likely to be somewhat useful, in intrigue-full life of the inner circle. Although at our supposed pace... Pity we don't really have time for a long-term infiltration; that could have worked wonderfully.
Such deep lore. Much to think about.
Well, she has almost finished anyway, and we are going to spend a lot of time inside of the Temple so it probably doesn't matter.
Also notably demonstrates that power of Nullity is not quite as fundamental or absolute as one might think.
Also, Accursed excels even at superficial elements of shipping, as expected.
Well, maybe we'll get to enjoy saving people once again in the future. Assuming ten million voices do not cry out in death, cursing Hunger's name as he tears beating heart of their civilization out of it's ribcage.
...We really should get Flare if we care about stuff like that.
I dunno, for a man who tore sky itself to fashion himself a cloak, Hunger is surprisingly disinterested in looking good. This is why your charisma is so low, Hunger! Merely supernaturally compelling!
...Although effortless cool is a style, too. We could try making that work.
...Man, imagine actually getting out of the Moon Temple Vietnam. We'll be looking back at these days like some sort of a surreal dream, incapable of believing it actually truly ended for real.
Maybe we even can continue our luxurious lifestyle, if that option to get into good graces of Letrz's cousin wins. Vacation never ends until you decide it is finished, after all.
Still waiting, Rihaku!
...I wonder if there is an Elderdross Expert? Master? Grandmaster?
Life is pain. We need more Arete.
With Hunger and his absolutely brutal pace, more like fleeing from respite, lol. Hunger is at his most comfortable when Ring of Hunger is quietly digesting the latest bounty of power from the recent prey, I think. Or fishing. Or killing himself for power, maybe. That last one was pretty disturbing to observe, I suspect.
...Or maybe infiltrating an evil moon temple civilization, maybe. That could also work, presuming we get consistent power-ups from the social and intrigue challenges. Who knows, if we pick Letrz's cousin, we might even get some fluff out of it, just before we inevitably put a great number of actual people to the sword without any remorse or mercy.
Realm of JRPG landscapes and weather strikes again. If it is not bizarre, then it is stunningly beautiful and picturesque. With the Voyaging realm like this, I am surprised we didn't yet detect some massive source of findross warping the Voyaging realm into what it is now. We know that Foremost used Findross, so it is more surprising to not find it here rather than the opposite.
I wonder how freedom from the Maiden's Duty would affect her character. One does not achieve the Third Coalescence without buying into Maiden's personal ideology, but in absence of pressure, deviations may happen... And Gisena is resentful of her Grace. If we do ever achieve Quintessence, we probably could attempt to tinker with her affinities, maybe change them to something less negative; not that it would be a particularly efficient expenditure of our efforts.
Naturally, Asuka, apologies, Letrizia is concerned with what is important in life. Though, with Hunger and Gisena, any potential hijinks are likely to be less comedic and more brutally dismembering. Maybe even with a hint of political intrigue, considering her station and where we currently are. Sovereignty might have hidden pretty far away from the Human Sphere, but not far enough if they really piss them off.
...I wonder if her worries are born of memes, or there is something in her backstory. Eh. Probably just being Space Opera Asuka rather than anything particularly serious.
I wonder who are the typical visitors for this place. Sovereignty seems to have built itself into some sort of a tourist trap and entertainment center for the adventurers and wanderers of the Voyaging realm; I wonder how much actual traffic they get, and if their strategy is actually having any sort of positive benefit on the struggle against Rotbeast.
On an unrelated note, at least we didn't take the blade into our bath. Though maybe that doesn't matter too much, given that we actually can summon it and telekinetically manipulate it to a degree.

No comments about the Evening trunks, so I am going to assume they are cannon until proven otherwise.
Relax, Letrz, with the new abilities you are not in threat of either getting pruney, cold, or anything, really. Worst case, you'll need to ask Hunger for a blood buff.
...Sharpbright is going to be so good when she actually gets Ennoblement, I think. The fastest way to skip ahead on the power growth curve is to start from a better position, and we could fling her pretty far with Crimson Flare.

Color schemes are difficult; I am kind of disappointed that Forebearer's blade is silvery; IDK how it works with the rest of the color scheme. I guess it does contrast nicely with the evening sky? A bright blade splitting the evening sky, I could imagine it working.
...I wonder what Hunger typically wears under the Evening Cloak; don' think it was ever described.
At least he hasn't yet lost an ability to enjoy simple pleasures without having to carve out a stone bath and a water spring himself. Imagine having all pleasures in life being bound to be only derived from one's own personal efforts, he'd go mad... Wait, no, Progression Cursebearer. Urgh.
Social construct backed up by guns and charisma! And there is probably a magical system or three that could turn wealth into power, too. We do know of one that can turn enemies into wealth; it is called Accretion.
...Notably, Hunger is probably hauntingly handsome himself as of right now, so it's not like he can't fire right back in this social combat.
Letrizia is a good girl.
...Aaaand she stills refers to Hunger as Lord Hunger. I wonder if this is some sort of a sneaky teasing thing, or she just can't stop herself. Does she respect that one line about Hunger being nobility that much? I guess the imperial etiquette probably was drilled into her since infancy, you don't easily let go or forget things like these.
O O F such dad energy I am surprised we have yet to do a "Hello hungry I am hunger" joke.
Weak to sincere praise... But many people are. L-like, some people I k-know really appreciate when p-people are reading their effortposts!
But seriously, this here is almost a critical hit.

"To look after" betrays Hunger opinion about this option in a sense... But its not like the options that need such attention are automatically bad. And we are already "looking after" Letrizia and Gisena most of the time, ever since our progression outpaced them to a ridiculous degree.
An unfortunate reality of being a progression-oriented Cursebearer. Well, the mercenary girl is still likely to be somewhat useful, in intrigue-full life of the inner circle. Although at our supposed pace... Pity we don't really have time for a long-term infiltration; that could have worked wonderfully.
Lack of control rears its somewhat ugly head. Well, on the bright side, even simple amplification is pretty damn good. Eldendross is a really curious element, with plenty of implications about Findross's nature.
I wonder how many more precursors of Findross there are. Is there a negative opposite of Eldendross, somewhere, somewhere? Are there any precursors to the precursors of Findross?
Such deep lore. Much to think about.
I wonder if constant Elderdross upkeep could help her accelerate her own ascension. Just keep hitting her with those +Int blasts until she ascends!
Well, she has almost finished anyway, and we are going to spend a lot of time inside of the Temple so it probably doesn't matter.
I suspect she is pretty happy for other people to have awesome, constructive and benevolent powers like this... She is a bit resentful of her own nullity, after all. That being a thing is probably the only reason she is not yet fourth coalescence or higher, I suspect; she is incredibly talented, otherwise.
Also notably demonstrates that power of Nullity is not quite as fundamental or absolute as one might think.
Also, Accursed excels even at superficial elements of shipping, as expected.
Pretty cool huh. Boost all our stats by 20% as a starting power is "pretty cool." Sacrificing Inksky for this is... This is a bit hurtful.
Yer wrong Letrizia. We are charismatic and dashing and all manners of good-looking. We got almost supernatural charisma, even if it is kind of scrubby compared to our other stats.
Gisena knows what is up. We also could pull of a weathered mentor archetype, I suppose. The scars and lost eye add to the charm.
Considering she actually had a lot of combat experience, she might be actually speaking from a position of experience. But while her life with Super Mecha Anime with some bitterness mixed in, Hunger's was a Fate/Zero-esque drama through and through.
Well, maybe we'll get to enjoy saving people once again in the future. Assuming ten million voices do not cry out in death, cursing Hunger's name as he tears beating heart of their civilization out of it's ribcage.
...We really should get Flare if we care about stuff like that.

...Although effortless cool is a style, too. We could try making that work.
Considering what we know about other sorceresses, a slight tendency to derive pleasure from the suffering of others is pretty normal for users of her magic systems, even if they are of Maiden's archetype. With such sterling examples to follow as Clarion Sorceress, miss "experiments on living humans" and that one bloodknight that almost killed Seram, one is kind of left wondering if Maiden was more of an overlord-type character rather than a Jeanne D'arc pastiche. She probably had to do some pretty hardcore stuff to ignite her Findross singularity, too.
Oh, yes. The good stuff. Forget about scaling power of Ruin, this is what we got those hands for. Hunger is really to not carry Gisena around like a sack of potatoes.
Welp, hopefully, all those stats and Rank means Hunger is good with his hands. Hunger been getting really close to Gisena lately; the feeling appears to be mutual, considering we have what, eight + with her relationship? Seven? That's late midgame Suizhen level of loyalty iirc, although Gisena's character and worldview is not quite as blindly follower-like as Suizhen's was.
We almost did stay for one day longer, to be fair. Well, whatever. This vacation was good for us; we powered up considerably, achieved some thought-to-be-impossible personal goals, even got a +mental stability for Hunger which is a pick so rare we never saw it before... Good stuff. Now back to our contractually bound messy attempts to cut through the Temple so we could outscale Ber, rescue ring and finally get to the Human Sphere.
...Man, imagine actually getting out of the Moon Temple Vietnam. We'll be looking back at these days like some sort of a surreal dream, incapable of believing it actually truly ended for real.
And then we engage in a somewhat slow infiltration of the Moon Temple's social circles and gatherings, while potentially murdering other adventurers that seek to liberate the ring in order to prove our turncoat credentials. Nice. Well, we got some options to potentially make that venture successful, so I am not going to harp on it too much.
Maybe we even can continue our luxurious lifestyle, if that option to get into good graces of Letrz's cousin wins. Vacation never ends until you decide it is finished, after all.
Still waiting, Rihaku!
This was honestly quite a good, and would've helped us right now. Alas, Eldendross Adept has more potential is a rare pick.
...I wonder if there is an Elderdross Expert? Master? Grandmaster?
The winning option. My complicated relationships with the option that shafted Inksky aside, this was a very strong option that made us significantly stronger for a very little investment. Pity that it pushed us away from an EFB, but what can you do.
