Cool. I'm assuming that the ability to change Mansus when you reach glory is OOC knowledge? Because there's certainly no hints of it in the story.
Or, as far as I understand, in the CS game, where reaching glory wasn't actually a possibility.
So I'm not going to count on the idea that we can change Mansus without constraints to how we want it.
I mean OOC those who changed the Mansus before came from the Glory, but in the story (to my knowledge) we know its at the top of everything and the centre of things. If things can't be changed there then they just can't be changed.
I mean why were you assuming there weren't going to be constraints?
And no, you can reach the glory in cultist simulator, you don't stay there very long and the hours are already there, but to become Long you have to pass the Tricuspid gate, go to the Glory briefly and return immortal.
We have seen that Mansus powers are powers and we need power to survive. Not quite the same thing as 'this is the way to save the world'.
Given that this is a crossover and not just a CS world, it's possible that those answers are all part of the harmony mystery chain, not the Mansus one. And we've done far less on that then on Mansus.
So if you want to base Velvet's in-character actions on entirely OOC information, that's your call.
I disagree with it is all.
I'm not sure why you are calling it OOC information when its a fairly reasonable thing based on what she knows and her current skill set as far as I can tell, but I'm not disregarding the harmony chain at all. I would rather not hobble myself and would pursue both if possible.
Who knows our best bet might be to replace the glory with the harmony, I don't know but I would love to find out.
I think you misunderstand the problem. As I keep repeating, more power makes things better for us and worse for everyone else.
It's the selfish choice.
No one having the power is the best. Only us having the power is second best. Every additional person or thing is another chance the world is going to be fucked up. And that's cumulative.
So you seem to be missing the issue.
Then Celestia is really screwed as the strongest being around.
Implying that all of the worms were inside and exiled with nightmare moon.
Except we found some in the dream world on their own. So there's 1000 years that they operated more or less unopposed and didn't succeed.
It's the removal of Luna as a guardian that raises the question of why the world didn't fall without her. There implication is that worms are not a near term (in Velvet's lifetime) threat.
The worms are weird, and depend on questions we don't know the answers too.
For example, there's far fewer of them than there should be assuming there's a bunch of dead hours, enough to easily overwhelm reality, seeing as just the Sun in Splendour dying was enough to give them a decisive edge.
There are also things that might be keeping them back on both sides that have nothing to do with Luna (off the top of my head the presence of the harmony and someone implementing the Protections for all things that Exist.)
As well as other possibilities as well.
Honestly at this point our best option might be to just bum rush the top of the moon. Master didn't even have any reaction or comment that we found the tower. we pretty much have to be the one to push for reversing history in the Mansus. Such a history reversal is very similar to almost the same as reversing history for the world. The only downside would be the need for us to take multiple risky action to actually get our secret history sacrament ot reach it might take a few more turns than a Twilight rescue.
weirdly I can't tell if reverting the Mansus with the moon save state would dissapear the Master because he is a result of the moth burning up, but by deciding the history of the moon is correct. He would no longer exist. Well this need more investigation
I'd be in favour of looking into the house of the moon too. Seeing if the Wheel still turns and all that.
Right.
So if you aren't actively laying the groundwork for an ending better than mother of wolves, there's no point.
I'm just laying out what I see as necessary for a better ending to be stable.
Which, at this point, means not writing manuscripts and not teaching anyone we aren't already committed to teaching.
So ignore the problem and hope it goes away?
If you really feel its such a big deal then try to
do something about it, something we'll have a much better chance of doing once the master is dead.
Them gone means the most active malicious mansus force is gone and we can investigate what occured and what might be done.
At least keep an open mind to the idea (not that I was advocating for teaching many people in the first place.)
