How do I become Iris? Do I need to pray to the moons or something like that?
I know some people have changed their moonblessing.

Does anyone know? Asking for myself, not a friend.

Thank you!

It's very bad, that's for sure. The empire has succeeded in artificially creating a power similar to the Echo, though it's cost them countless of lives to achieve it. There seems to be no boundary they are unwilling to cross in the pursuit of more power.

That's a good question. I can't begin to guess how they went about fusing a dead person's memories into the mind of another person, unless they'd somehow saved them from when Nael was alive... Even still, memories are not so easily tampered with. It seems like the Empire finds new ways to outdo its own atrocities each day.

That, I'm familiar with. The Resonant project, yes? Messy business. And you think that they've gone and cooked themselves up another resonant, and loaded them into shiny new Weapon?

What I want to know is why Darnus in particular? Other than a mad sort of determination, he'd not had much going for him tactically that couldn't have been better done by at least half a dozen others of similar rank and experience.

Last I knew, at least. Are there perhaps things that I've not been party to?

[ Nero's poking about Cartineau had been very single-minded, half out of passion and half out of the risk involved. Perhaps he knows more than he should... but he certainly knows less than an accomplished Warrior of Light that has cleared Coils would. ]

I don't think the poor girl was resonant, but it wouldn't surprise me if the same power was used. Then again, they succeeded with Zenos and to some degree, Fordola, so it's possible they're handing it out to whoever can survive the process. I wouldn't exactly be surprised if that were the case.

Oh, you must not have heard about the Binding Coil. Nael was involved in the Dalamud Project, and wound up tempered by Bahamut. My fight with the Ruby Weapon was somewhat akin to my battle against them there... which makes even less sense, as it would mean the Empire somehow had access to what occurred within those ruins...

Gods, the more I think about it, the less I want to think about it.

This far away from it all, all we can do is speculate just how they did what they did. Damn it all, now I've got the itch to go wandering around Cartinau again...

I am not as surprised to hear about Darnus's fate as I ought to be. Again, this raises questions that I would normally be very eager to pursue the answers to. This is a terrible distraction. I think you owe me a drink for bringing it up.
