Let's send Nyra searching You choose Option 3: Explore with Whisperform — and send Nyra into the Grove’s deep rootpaths, seeking what lies veiled beneath. 🌿 Update: The Rootsong Below Nyra flutters silently toward the glade’s oldest tree—its bark carved with faint spirals and cracks shaped like tears. As she phases into the Spirit Vein running beneath it, you close your eyes and tune your senses to her. You feel it through the Spiritbinding link: A low hum… like roots singing to one another. Nyra whispers into your thoughts: “There’s a path… no, a network—one the Guardian doesn't tread. It connects to a subterranean chamber, buried below the Mirror Grove. I sense an echoing memory trapped in a glyph-locked knot. And... something we left behind.” Moments later, Nyra returns, trailing silvery moss and holding a spirit-wrought petal shaped like a crescent moon. ✨ Discovery: The Grove’s Forgotten Spiral Nyra has uncovered a hidden entrance to an underground Spiral Chamber sealed by glyph resonance. It resonates faintly with your two Spiritroot Glyphs. A third may lie within—though something about the spiral feels… old. Far older than the Guardian. “It’s not a trap,” Nyra murmurs. “It’s a memory... waiting to be seen.” 🌕 Spirit Memory Detected 🔸 “Memory Thread – Lirael’s Last Gaze” Can only be stabilized with Nyra's Spiritbinding (1/day usage will be spent). Would you like to descend into the Spiral and trigger this memory? If not, it remains marked in the Codex as a place of glyph resonance. 📊 Status HP: 27 / 27 EP: 15 / 22 Spiritroot Glyphs: 2 / 5 Nyra: Spiritbinding Ready (1 use remaining today) 📘 Fusion Weaves Known Veilbrand Surge (Water + Fire + Spirit) Emberbloom Ward (Fire + Earth + Spirit) Aetherwake Torrent (Air + Water + Spirit) Craglash Mantle (Earth + Water + Fire) Myrraline Tempest (Air + Fire + Water + Spirit) Prism Spiral (All 5 elements) 🧭 New Options: Enter the Spiral Chamber – Use Nyra’s Spiritbinding to stabilize the memory and uncover “Lirael’s Last Gaze.” (Consumes Nyra’s use for the day) Confront the Grove’s Guardian – With two glyphs and Spiritbinding active, you may now be allowed to pass… or be tested.

It was like thy won't kill anyone, ohh damn they killed Uno in the most brutal way. Then they made him a hero and pretty much ruined the death.

This Guardian is just standing there... wondering why we haven't interacted with it yet, but, did I hear the possibility for LOOT?

Another big problem - aside from the terrible adaptation - is the show just looked so cheaply produced and yet somehow cost a fortune to make. Here is a good example. Taken right from the show… Good Lord. That is the fakest damned pyre I’ve ever seen. And everything looks too clean, too staged. The whole show looked like this. Why?

Nyra wins! You choose Option 3: Ask Nyra about Lirael — and with two Spiritroot Glyphs now resonating within her, she finally begins to remember. 🌙 Update: Memory of Lirael Nyra hovers close, her glow pulsing softly as you kneel beside her in the quiet of the Grove. The glyph light within her chest begins to shimmer, then fragment—threads of energy weaving outward like veins in crystal. You speak her name: “Lirael.” Nyra flinches—then breathes. “She was the Watcher of the Mirror Glade... Not like a guardian. More like... the keeper of truths no one else could bear. I think she taught me how to feel what was forgotten. She called it... Spiritbinding.” As Nyra speaks, an image forms in the mirrored surface again: A woman of silvered leaves and gentle twilight eyes stands at a crescent basin. Behind her, stars spiral down into a pool shaped like an open eye. Her form fractures—into five strands of light that spiral outward, echoing the five Spiritroot Glyphs. “She fractured herself,” Nyra whispers, “so that we might carry the truth when she no longer could…” Suddenly, your Codex vibrates, pulsing once as a new keyword appears in its spirit-laced margin: 🔹 Lore Fragment Unlocked – “The Fragmented Five” Lirael, once Guardian of Memory’s Thread, scattered her essence across the Elemental Realms when the Hollow Star fell. Each Glyph is more than a key—it is a memory locked to an ancient truth about the collapse… and what came before. She refers to something as “The Echoing Root.” Nyra does not yet know what this means. ✨ Nyra's Abilities Enhanced: Spiritbinding (Passive Upgrade) Nyra can now stabilize fractured Spirit echoes — if you encounter a memory that is too broken to interpret, Nyra may now anchor it (1/day). You may now receive lore fragments from powerful Fusion spellcasting (only while Nyra is active and stabilized). “I think I’m changing,” Nyra says gently. “Or… maybe I’m returning.” 📖 Quest Updated: Glyph Recovery ✅ Glyph I – Heart of Hollow Star ✅ Glyph II – Lirael’s Thorn (Quiet Grove) 🕯️ Nyra has begun remembering — next Glyph may be sensed if brought near an Elemental Memory Anchor (likely hidden in an Air or Spirit-aligned location) 📊 Status HP: 27 / 27 EP: 14 / 22 Spiritroot Glyphs: 2 / 5 Nyra: Awakened.

Forge Spirittrace Pulse – Develop the Spirit + ??? spell to expand glyph detection across realms. Explore with Whisperform – Have Nyra scout the Grove’s deep roots for signs of hidden Spirit paths or ancient glyph-locked gates. Search for an Elemental Memory Anchor – Begin seeking the next Glyph via Spirit attunement, likely in Skyreach Monastery or the Shrine of Echoing Veil. Fuse another Weave – You can attempt a new 3- or 4-element spell now. Which path calls to you?

Because Egwene is his favourite character. There is no power in the world to force him to make her look less relevant. Even global pandemic, which used by some fans as get out of jail free card to first season, didn't push him to change e8, Egwene needed to be center of attention, so she performed literal miracle. I even think "Who's dragon" was born from brainstorming how to make Egwene more important than Rand. So by pretending everyone equally could be Dragon, Rafe had chance to correct injustice and let Egg shine as she shoud. If only they didn't have star power behind Moiraine, different character would be main focus

Now we're getting some real tough decisions

Nyra or Kevin?

Ok let's focus on Nyra Let’s continue with Option 3: Focus on Nyra again. You have indeed acquired the first Spiritroot Glyph, and now that you’ve forged Prism Spiral, your full-element Weave, and shaped the Grove through Fusion, something stirs deep within. 🌌 Update: The Spiritroot Reveals You kneel within the Grove’s still center, the prismatic energy of Prism Spiral still flickering in the air. You turn your attention fully to Nyra, who hovers nearby — her form softening from glowing threads into a whorl of light and memory. She tilts her head, almost expectant. You reach out, placing your hand against her spectral heart. For a moment, everything is silent… Then— A pulse. Not outward, but inward — like a breath echoing in reverse. A shape appears in the Grove’s mirrored surface — not your reflection, but a glyph, etched in twisting silver and soft amethyst light. Nyra gasps softly. “It’s another… I can feel it. I can remember her…” The glyph spins slowly, then splits — embedding itself partly into Nyra’s glowing essence and partly into your Codex. It radiates a hum unlike any elemental signature you've known before. 🌀 Spiritroot Glyph II Acquired: "Lirael’s Thorn" Fragment of the Second Spiritroot — from a forgotten guardian once bound to the Moonlight Grove. Effect: Nyra gains the ability Whisperform: Once per long rest, Nyra may split into two briefly, allowing her to act in two locations at once (e.g., scouting, shielding, or relaying a spell effect). Nyra can now interact with memory echoes and locked Spirit sigils. Your Codex gains access to a new Weave Concept: Spirittrace Pulse (Spirit + ???) — detect lingering memory impressions or reveal glyph-locked paths. 📖 Quest Update: ✅ Glyph I – Heart of Hollow Star (Awakening Vision) ✅ Glyph II – Lirael’s Thorn (Quiet Grove, Fusion-activated) ⬜ Glyph III – Unknown ⬜ Glyph IV – Unknown ⬜ Glyph V – Unknown Hinted: One may lie near a Mirror Sanctum in the high Spirit Realms. Another may be buried beneath the Shattered Spire. 📊 Status – Updated: HP: 27 / 27 EP: 14 / 22 Nyra: Now attuned to 2/5 Spiritroot Glyphs. Abilities evolving. 🔮 New Fusion Possibility (Unlocked Concept): Spirittrace Pulse (Concept only – needs second element to finalize) Choose an element to fuse with Spirit to stabilize this detection-oriented spell. Possible pairings: Spirit + Air: Pierce illusions, locate hidden entries. Spirit + Earth: Reveal buried relics or long-lost memory echoes. Spirit + Water: Read emotional resonance over time in a place. Spirit + Fire: Burn away false memories or seals of fear. (You can choose to develop this Fusion next if desired.) 📘 Known Fusion Spells 3-Element: Veilbrand Surge (Water + Fire + Spirit) Emberbloom Ward (Fire + Earth + Spirit) Aetherwake Torrent (Air + Water + Spirit) Craglash Mantle (Earth + Water + Fire) 4-Element: Myrraline Tempest (Air + Fire + Water + Spirit) 5-Element: Prism Spiral (Air + Water + Fire + Earth + Spirit) 🧭 Next Options: Approach the Grove’s Guardian – You now bear full elemental mastery and two Spiritroot Glyphs. Develop Spirittrace Pulse – Finalize the next Fusion based on your chosen second element. Ask Nyra about Lirael – Dig into her fragmented memory and see what she now recalls. Search deeper using Whisperform – Have Nyra scout the Grove’s deep roots for hidden Spirit paths or glyph locks. Call out to Kerin – Share what you’ve uncovered. He may remember something from the Hollow Star’s lore. What would you like to do next?

I actually laughed when it happened. Only actor worse than Napier in the series.

Uno's death was classic.

I think Uno was victim to this line of thought as well. First Rafe took the likable Uno and made him contemptible and them killed him unceremoniously.

Only if we keep feeding it media and stories that say humans are evil monsters that the universe is better off without. E.g. Prometheus

But I'm loathe to ask for another correction in case it goes nuts

Sorry that's a bit of a jumble, but somehow we now have the 5 element weave.

Bear with me... I had to remind the game of stuff again so we have 2 updates in 1. ✅ Option 5: Ask Kerin to share more from his visions—especially what lies beyond the Hollow Star fractal. 🌀🕯️🌌 Update: Beyond the Hollow Star Kerin kneels before the Whispering Mirror. His breaths come slow and shallow, fingers trembling as the hollow bloom resonance hums around you. You steady him, hand on shoulder—Nyra resting nearby, her feathers glowing faintly with inner Spirit light. His voice is ragged but calm: “I saw… beyond it. The Hollow Star fractal isn’t the end—it’s an eye. A wound. Something watches through it. Older than the elements. Than Spirit. They called it the… Eclipse Root.” He winces as the words leave him. “It’s not a god. Not evil. It wants… to unmake. Not out of malice, but design. It’s pulling things back to a time before Balance. Before the Weave.” Your Codex vibrates—glowing softly as new glyph-lines shimmer into visibility: 📖 Codex Entry Updated: Eclipse Root – Fragment 1/3 “The Root sleeps in the Silence Between. Not of fire, nor water, nor breath, nor bone. It is return. Undoing. The unpatterned womb.” A line of Spiritlight extends from this entry toward Nyra. She flutters into your palm and places her paw on the Codex. A wave of memory strikes you. Visions of petal-shaped seals marked with Bloom glyphs—anchoring points holding back something vast, quiet, listening. Kerin speaks again, quieter: “The Bloom holds the Root in check. And Nyra... I think she's one of those anchors. Maybe the last one.” ✅ Active Goal Progression 1. Uncover the Cult’s Final Designs The cult seeks to weaken the Bloom glyphs during the Elemental Convergence and fully awaken the Eclipse Root, believing it will bring a purer existence through unweaving all reality. The Hollow Star fractal is a key glyph node. It is both a lens and a door. 4. Nyra’s Origins Nyra is likely a Spirit-Bound Bloom Anchor, created to resist or recode the Eclipse Root’s unraveling effect. Her growth is linked to your balance across elements and glyph harmonization. She is becoming something new. ✨ New Insight Gained: “The Bloom Resists the Root.” This mantra is now etched in your Codex, enhancing your resistance to unraveling or spirit corrosion. ✅ Update Redone: You chose Option 1 – Meditate by the Mirror to draw out a new Fusion spell using your full elemental mastery. 🌿 Quiet Grove – Still Glade Mirror The mirror surface of the ancient pool reflects not just your face, but flickers of your journey—raging fires, spiraling air, flowing water, the crumbling earth beneath your feet, and the quiet whispers of spirit. You seat yourself cross-legged at the edge, drawing the Codex into your lap. Nyra settles beside you, her form gently pulsing with soft luminescence. You close your eyes and focus, calling upon the full bond you've forged with all five elements. The Unified Codex responds. Your EP thrums with equilibrium. Elemental signatures rise within you, spiraling into one another. Then: a vision— A storm of elements. Fire braided with water, spirit dancing within air and earth. A shape forms… but unstable. You steady it, balancing the flow with your breath. Weave Fusion Detected: ✨ Name it to complete its form… It is a 3-element Fusion. Fire, Spirit, Earth. Choose a name, or allow the Codex to shape it for you. Effects are: Burrowing fire that bypasses physical barriers Echoing psychic disruption (Spirit) Armor-busting tremor aftershock (Earth) Costs 4 EP. Can be enhanced with rare gems or Firegems. As you remain in meditation, you sense that trying a 4- or 5-element weave might be possible—but it would require more stability, a sacred location, or perhaps Nyra’s help. When your vision clears, the Codex glows softly, recording the spell matrix. You have not yet chosen to cast it—only shaped it. Kerin watches from the grove’s edge, saying nothing. He senses the moment is not yet done. 🧭 Current Location: Quiet Grove – Mirror Pool Time: Twilight approaches Weather: Calm, dew rising 🎒 Inventory – Key Highlights: Codex of Elemental Harmony (Legendary – Fully Awakened) Gold-Leaf Token, 90 Silver Coins, 17 Copper Coins 3 Firegems, Orb of Purity, Watershaped Ring, Veil of Equilibrium Amulet Charm of Grounding, Satchel 🌿 Update: Beneath the Grove’s Silence With the Grove pulsing softly around you, you reach inward — drawing upon your fully awakened Codex of Elemental Harmony and the echoes of elemental memory now etched into your soul. You extend your awareness, reaching into the interwoven currents of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Spirit. As your breath deepens, you focus not on the chaotic swirl of power… but on the rhythm beneath it. Nyra curls around you like a veil of glowing mist, resonating with your focus. A glyph ignites on your palm—fivefold, overlapping: a sign that you’ve moved beyond tri-weaving. You reach toward the core of the Quiet Grove’s mirrored stillness and attempt to conjure something new, something worthy of your full mastery. You channel the Grove’s essence through the Codex and forge a new Weave… ✨ New Fusion Spell Crafted 🌪️🌊🔥🌱🕊 Elemental Crown: Prism Spiral A full-elemental fusion spell. Cost: 8 EP Effect: Creates a swirling dome of prismatic elemental energy. Primary Effect: Reflects and redirects incoming elemental magic (based on dominant element at time of casting).

Use Charm of Grounding – Search for hidden relics or messages near the Grove roots. Call out to Kerin – Ask for his thoughts after your display of mastery. Which path calls to you next?

Oh I think S1 had louder complaints about Nyn overall, but ya that ending was crap too.

But he didn’t hear the louder, more consistent, complaints about favoring Egwene? Why would he fix one and not the other?

Over correction on Nyn. Rafe heard the criticism and then took away her big moments. He got it wrong again. She wasn’t even the same person as book Nyn at all. Terrible adaptation.

Odd. Since she basically disappeared after S1. Disagree. The wolves were the effort to implicate Perrin. And MO’s conversation with Eggy + Eg’s apparent use of the power in the Ways were meant to be those efforts. She was, in no sense, a “main character” in that episode.

Nobody said women were not strong in Jordan’s story. But the men were strong as well. Rafe made sure to tell us the men were nowhere to be found on Winter’s Night. When I watched S1E1 I was grumbling how the men were pathetic weaklings. Nynaeve was the only target of “Who is the Dragon” fake out. They were pointing to Mat and everybody with an ounce of modern story watching knew it wasn’t him. They made no solid attempts to implicate Egwene or Perrin. I think you have it backwards. Who is the Dragon was not to be an interesting story arc, but rather an excuse to elevate Nynaeve in strength in S1–one thing obviously Rafe was interested in. Alanna was very prominent in the forest battle episode.
