Oooh, the second one is evil but funny.

But I have a few things based on what we've seen with the latest update.

Kingie boy: Looks like he's gone full fatalistic and wants to go out with a bang. The constant ties to the nutjobs, the apathy towards long term planning (heirs included and the "surely you don't believe these fanatics.), and the sheer presence of the Invalan faith all seem to point to "suicide charge...FOR GREAT JUSTICE!". Also nudged me to vote "No" for the immediate war, as much as I like the idea of striking while the iron is hot, that would have worked only when the Arsehole was making his own impromptu invasion. Now, now Iris is prepping for the long haul and all those organized forces would be waiting for the retaliatory strike.

I'd also like to point out that my theory about the King knowing about the members of the Gathering is supported by how...bored the King was during Ginasta's entreaty. All the other ambassadors reacted in some manner but the King, nope, didn't even blow a spit bubble.

That brings me to my next speculation: Ginasta knows about Simon and approves. Hear me out, she can sense power, has experience with I.K., and has sensed the energy of Yarra and Qum, so we have some circumstantial evidence that while Ginasta was there, she basically gave Simon a subtle "Thumbs up". Add to that the fact that Simon has incorporated his power and is not a "tyrant." and I can see her just not bringing it up as it didn't affect her mission.

Course, she could have missed it and that could create drama/humor later depending on how she handles her gaff.

Vhala...If she does end up getting healed, I hope it's soon, otherwise I'm with Qum and Yarra, she is outright distrubing and unnatural. Not so much the sexlessness, but the simple fact that she cut out whole chunks of her soul and personality and is happy she did it. THAT is true fanaticism. She basically turned herself into a functioning sociopath. Not evil, just unable to relate to people on many empathic levels.

The side note about the Ghivini is getting interesting, suggest Simon might be able to influence the rebirth of their kingdom.

Anyone else love the various ways the Ladies shut down the womanizing blademaster? Seems like he's getting set up for a humbling.

Oh, and before I forget, is anyone curious about Robin's behavior by the roadside inn? Seems like her connection to Simon's power is already taking effect :P

Who thinks we'll eventually find somone to pawn the "store for sale" that nobody in the party wants to run? Might just be a bit of nothing but seems like a bit of a way to connect people.

Will have more later but those stood out to me during my binge play last night.
