Literally had 6 years to worldbuild and still failed at it even with and entire season of space post Final Shape award
A great generation that can write characters like its drinking water and can't create real worlds even if they are paid for it
Ao3fication of lore
>Get asked to write Scorn as a faction post Forsaken

Insert "its the third time you've brought it to class" meme
Whats going on inside amurican writing schools ?
Scorn visuals were really under-appreciated at the end of the day imho. I guess that comes with most of their unique environments not being in the game anymore, though. It kinda sucks visually that they just became the Pyramid Guys™ for a bit
@GoraeSangA2 Yes, but if we are searching for the Crusade start we have to look at the earliest possible moment
Sorcery Knights of Rellana joined Messmer and only knew Glint Blade (1) an abandoned prototype
By the Liurnia Wars, 16 Sorcery Knights held back the entire Leyndell invasion force
@GoraeSangA2 Yes, thats true, by their seal sigils they were born during the time the Age of Plenty was dying
Look at Morgott: he can create golden copies of the weapons used in the Giant War, royal guards and Sorcery Knights (as envoys/guards coming to Leyndell)
@GoraeSangA2 Golden Rule prayers for the Liurnia Wars use the cross symbol not the tree of the Crucible of the past ... Age of plenty was already dead.
As you say, they should have made peace by marriage... so it would be weird and bad to put a princess to a death fight to prove her loyalty.
@GoraeSangA2 Sorcery Knights spell were still very primitive
And Rellana had to PROVE her loyalty to the Golden Rule
It means they were countries with contact, but not an alliance between families ... there was still mistrust and fear
@GoraeSangA2 This is important!
but look at what you find about House Caria inside the Shadow Realm
Rellana uses and upgrade of the earliest Caria sorcery, the first prototype
When she joined the crusade Sorcery Knights weren't as advanced as they were during the war against the Golden Rule
"the Hornsent had a God, thats why they allowed Marika in, let her kill said God, bring its body at the top of their capital, ascend as a God and then walk away"
All this happened with just Maliketh at her side btw
@GoraeSangA2 The Reprimand Fort houses Omen killers because their role is hunting impurities (hornfolk) and are priests of Marika (oversee torture) same as Rykard marionettes are because in that fort people were tortured
@GoraeSangA2 Warning! You have to remember that things can enter the Shadow Lands like Gaius, Redmane soldiers and Death Knights that appear after Godwyn death
An advice: find the earliest thing possible to date the crusade's start not the last !
@Lokey_DS Theres no inherent curse to being born of Marika, its about growing up under Marika that turns your natural divine powers into a "curse"
See Ranni: body so cold because of her Moon that people around her freeze, but it doesnt make her body freeze and break
Cultural environment
@Lokey_DS About the whole Marika twins thing: for me there's no curse
Its an ideoogical problem, by being born of God (+god) you are a natural antenna for god powers
But if you dont accept your Fate and keep repressing your power because mommy hates it then you get your body falling apart
