I'm going to try and scale back our disscusion, replying to so much text is getting cumbersome.

>On the Anak

on the score thing I think you're missing my point, philon doesn't have a score because you can't influence them, this sets them inherently as an enemy, just like erosia is.

I can't comment on theoson and all of that, but you have to remember that the anak is very true neutral, for him both simon and tanurak are equal threats to his idea of balance, but also tools, having both simon and tanurak fight and take each other out might be his plan, or maybe he is hunting down tanurak, but also wants to use simon as much as possible before taking him out and killing the sage of ghenalon is part of it. We have to remember that he wanted to take out both the IE and the FL not because they were bad, but because they were a threat to balance.

I do think his endgame is balance, but he's playing a long game.

>The contorting stones and other collectibles

I'm not saying that the contorting stones have any major significance in DoW (they are basically fuel to talk to your tower husbando), but you're ignoring a consistent pattern SL has shown on her games where she rewards players for finding an out of the way collectible, contorting stones in DoW, character interactions in Ouroboros, and shining swords in TLS.

Your idea also doesn't make much sense and I at least don't see how it is internally consistent.

Shining swords are an important collectible > they will be a crafting item for endgame equipment

I also don't see why we wouldn't use the materials they are made of directly instead of reciclyng the blades, simon and co. are a major world power, it should be something we could do.
