Just want to point this out :
Ceridwen allied with god that back-up Riddle, what if that means we will be forced to do like what Riddle does ?

We are aligning with ceridwen, not Ahriman so I imagine not.
Alliance usually formed because of common cause or goals, we might not with the Riddle patron, but Ceridwen might ask us to do something similar to what his patron does.
- Location
- Yes
The death gods all allied together and it was implied that they did so because they all have a death theme. Ceridwen has a death life and nature theme which wouldn't look like what riddle was doing. It says we'd still get along with the life faction and fumbledore wouldn't be ok with Tom's MO. Also the alliance is had not has, so they aren't working together anymore.
Edit: looked up ahriman. Zoroastrianism god of evil. Really doubt Ceridwen would want us to do the same thing riddle was doing.

About the loot. We the rock, the wand and the cloak?
The staff belongs to Martha, and there is nothing we can do about it.
The rock has some interesting aspects. Sooner or later we might get a building that works with it.
The cloak is useless to us so we should give it to one of our men.

Welp. Yes to Ceridwen seems overwhelming. Not that I expected anything else, mind you~

In the first Aifeverse Negaverse we saw a bunch of gods talking.
There were:
1. Red
2. Light Green
3. Light Blue
4. Purple
5. Orange
6. Darker Purple
Red is helping Riddle (Death god) and is a lady so probably Kali.
Light blue is upset that Aife's getting screwed so it's clearly Freyja.
Light green is female, goddess of the land, and is seems to be trying to be the ref, and like usual everyone doesn't like the ref. Andraste and Ceridwen are the only ones from british isles and Ceridwen says Andraste is 'keeping things under control' and all the other players hate her so probably Andraste.
Lighter purple is very casual, male, is connected with Freyja, and Freyja doesn't like him so my guess is Loki or Thor. Dionysus is a possible candidate too.
Orange has only one line. Not much to go on.
Darker purple I'm unclear on as well. Doesn't seem like they know much about what's going on so I doubt it's Athena or Odin
Red claims someone (probably Freyja) tried to get Dace killed at the potions meeting.
3 gods intervened in that scene. Freyja, Kali, and I think that SCREEEE was Ahriman.
The invistext conversation in the previous update when the QM was telling us how stupid our decisions have been was another god talk. Obviously Thetis & Ceridwen were there, but identifying everyone's a lot harder.
Wait what?

Since Lily didn't marry James and Aife was surprised to learn that didn't happen, how could he have twin children?

Kinda surprised you didn't notice before, TBH. James Potter got very drunk and bedded Emmeline Vance by accident. She got preggers, so he took responsibility ( Euphie may have hit him on the head until he did so)

I knew about the twins, I just don't see why it was important. They can't be a part of prophecy.
Edit. What did puzzle me is that Alfie, the so called best friend and Maurader didn't know he had kids.

Well Vance is part of the Order of the Phoenix so it's possible that the parents thrice defying thing and the birthdate thing was met. The attack on Neville's family probably means he's the one who's been 'marked' but eh. It's a prophecy.
Maybe Aife did know about the twins and thought that was the reason James and Lily weren't together anymore. Lily getting a divorce because of adultery seems plausible.

Ooor, he coud have gotten smashed at the end of July after the catastrophe, which would set the ninth month as March.
Ok now I'm wondering if Aife or Chibi is the prophecy child, I mean we defied Riddle/Voldie 3 times now, once by the Potioneer meeting, once when we got ourselves the nature anchor and golden dragon, while escaping him killing us, and now when we apparently survived the siege.

Aife's a generation too old. But Chibi hmm.
She's 'born' in March so the birthdate doesn't fit.

Didn't Sirius get killed in August.

Time out (3)
'Themis' shook her head, looking disappointed but unsurprised as Ceridwen's smile became quite a bit wider and clapped her hands together in delight, before she signalled the other to go with a wave of her hand. The girl just raised an eyebrow before grimacing at her in disgust.
"Disappointing, but understandable, I haven't been that forthcoming either, after all. Oh well, I've got others to visit." The little girl snapped her fingers and a golden doorway appeared as the space they were all in began to break down, cracks appearing like in glass. Then, the world disappeared and Dace and Ceridwen were alone in some strange building. The stone was dark and the air musty, providing the place with a gloomy atmosphere. On the walls, he could see torches flickering, and in some alcoves dug into the stone, there were embalmed bodies, brownish skin stretched on their bones.
The woman was fluttering around the room, then, with a hand on her him, she pointed at a wall, that bursted open. She turned towards Dace and smiled apologetically.
" I"m sorry, I don't have many guests and despite everything, that crazy bitch from hell from back there is the one who visits the most." The sheer hatred coming from her voice belied her happy expression."But don't let that stop you, come out, come out, let me show you around~" she began walking towards the exit, a long, dark corridor with light at the end of the tunnel.
Once out, he looked around and saw that he got out of some sort of megalithic structure and into stairs that led to some sort of swamp.
"If you don't mind me asking, what are we doing here?" Dace felt prudent to ask as the woman almost skipped towards the end of the stairs. She stopped and then her head turned, without the rest of her body, ther hood falling and revealing the white bone of her cranium.
"Do not worry overly much about it, just follow me, this is a sur~prise~" She sing-sang, her head and neck coming back into place with a crack.
This wasn't reassuring at all and Dace looked around carefully, trying not to slip on the slimy roots of the tree. Then, a stone cold hand dragged him into a trunk and after a moment of trying to fight back, he saw something. Lizard like creatures, wyverns, and further away, a hydra, who looked bigger and fiercer than any he ever saw.
"Those are my gift to you~Since, you know, all your creatures died and your dragons abandoned you ~ And I can't have you running around without any army to back you up~"
His eye twitched. That was news to him.
"And also~"She continued in her sickly sweet tone that almost smelled like rotting meat. " I'm sorry, buy you're too old to become my champion, divine energy must be inserted in the womb or it will destroy the host because it can't adapt. Don't worry though." Her tone switched to teasing and less fake. " Your next child will definitely be blessed." She finished with a knowing smile.
Dace didn't understand, after all, Elizabeth was past the age where she could have children. And wasn't Lily-
"In any case, I'll send you missions from time to time, don't worry about it." She interrupted before he could ask." You'll remember when time comes."
Wait, wha- Don't worry about it I said! Everything will be just fine.
He blinked.
He was in the darkness, and had the feeling he forgot something important. Then, he felt icy agony clawing at his back and shrieking, ordering that he turned back, but he refused. He then heard something amidst the howls and felt something warm catch his hand.
He opened his eyes and sat up, before heaving and rolling around to vomit. he felt a warm hand on his back rubbing circles and heard someone speaking to him. His vision was swimming as he was gasping for breath but after a while and several refreshing charms, he felt bood enough to look up. Martha was next to him, in her civilian clothing, a silver cloak around her shoulders, with a hand on his back and a bucket under his face. The expression of pure relief on her face was palpable.
"I'm so glad... When I brought the others back, they came instantly..." She muttered in a quiet voice, not moving an inch.
Dace took one last deep breath and fell down on his back, exhausted.
"What's the situation?"
Martha let go and sat back, a bit further away from him.
"Riddle and his servants have been dealt with, however, there have been catastrophic losses on our side. Our entire roster has been wiped out and the dragons have gone away. Oliver fell from Sigurd and broke his arm after failing to pacify the dragon. As for our human losses..." She bit her lip." I have... It seems I somehow have obtained the power to bring back a portion of the dead to life. I managed to bring back Agatha and Lady Elizabeth, however, Mr. Moody and Swallows remain lost. As for the castle itself..." She looked through the window of his lavish bedroom and he saw the extent of the damage: blackened grass, dead vegetation, the water was a murky green and even the castle itself seemed to have suffered. In any case, extensive rebuilding would have to be made, even with the surprising surge of Nature in the area.
When his granddaughter came back, she was devastated by the death of the dogs she summoned and locked herself in Oliver's room with Hassan after finding the corpse of her favourite puppy, Hassan the fourth, who was curled up under her bed, disobeying him for the first time in her life. A few days passed, and, surprisingly enough, no new wolf appeared.
However, the biggest change and surprise was, on the third evening after the battle, when he was coming back, exhausted, in his room.
As he threw his cloak aside, sighing, he heard his wife, coughing delicately on his side. He was unbuttonning his shirt as he opened an eye to glare ar her when he was met with martha, her face scarlet and looking like a deer in front of a fiendfyre. He promptly rebuttonned his shirt. Then, he glared harder at Elizabeth, who was smiling in a brittle way. That was unusual coming from the woman who'd rather throw herself to the ground and throw a tantrum than express her true emotions.
"I want a divorce."
His thoughts screeched to a pause.
"Excuse me?"
"You're forgiven." She nodded regally, before getting up from his bed. "I'm not as young as I used to be Dace. I can't accompany you in your ventures anymore."
He frowned a bit, but acknowledged her point.
"And I realized, after that close call, that I can's stay with someone who won't mourn me when I'll be gone." She smiled sadly at him. "I know I promised to not let your disability get in the way, but I think that even if neither of us can feel romantic love, I always hoped we could at least become friends down the line."
It seemed her mind was made up anyways.
"Why is Martha here then?" He asked, a bad feeling rising in his gut.
At that, Elizabeth brightened up like a lamp.
"Oh, her? She's my replacement. As your wife."
"... What?"
Martha's already scarlet face fell into her hands, her ears reddening.
"Shes practically perfect!" Elizabeth continued, her salt and pepper hair swaying around." She's young, has a great body." She emphasized her words by making movements around her hips, then in front of her chest "Seriously, you never peeked at the servants' quarters, but I certainly have and I'm fairly sure her mammaries could choke a man" She fake whispered, getting a surprised squeak from the woman, whose arms instinctively covered her front. " She's also strong enough to twist metal bars barehanded, and most of all, she's so in love with you she doesn't even mind you!" She pointed at Martha in an overly dramatic way." If Dace were to ask you to marry him and have his child, would you refuse?"
Martha looked about ready to faint, glaring at Elizabeth and definitely not looking in Dace's direction, before fidgeting and shaking her head shyly as her eyes became slightly glazed.
Dace felt a headache rising.
Wat do ?
[]Refuse. Elizabeth leaving him was one thing. Him marrying Martha, however, was unthinkable.
[] Accept. He'll have words with Martha, to ensure she wasn't coerced in any way. However, if she wasn't, Dace wasn't opposed to it.
Nature's bounty activated
All creatures wiped out.
New roster of creatures available for recruiting.
Due to trauma, Scáthach sealed away her ability to summon wolves.
No matter what happens, Elizabeth will push for a divorce, but will still remain your Diplomacy advisor.
That car salesman meme influenced me too much. I regret nothing.
RIP Hassan the Fourth. You will be missed. Lily liked you so much.
Last part before the massive scheduling session of Turn 5, wheeee.
This turn was gettin way too long.
And it's so hot here I'm gonna die.
