| #8 Today's Question - What was the point in adding the fourth savior, the Captain of East Bizol's town watch? The trio don't even learn his name before they all die and unlike Milan and Lazar the Captain is never seen again except in the Sect of the Holy Mother 2 - The Three Cults in Nikola's starting dream. |
Answer - The fourth savior was put in a story to demonstrate that the four saviors "knew" each other before their "stay" on Kaliim. As Nikola explains to William in the Sect of the Holy Mother 6 - Black Riverside, he knew Milan his whole life, then when he moved to East Bizol with him he met Lazar and then when the Rise of the Serpent happened the three of them met the Captain. Nikola tells William that he felt like he knew the others his whole life, but in truth, he knew them before their "life". |
| #9 Today's Question - I noticed your Sect of the Holy Mother series starts with the words "All is quiet, all is tranquil." before the first scene in the Sect of the Holy Mother 1 and ends with the same words "All is quiet, all is tranquil." when William says them in the end of the Sect of the Holy Mother 8 - The Last Savior. What figure of speech is that? |
Answer - I honestly don't know. My guess is that it does exist but I don't know what the name of it is. I even tried googling it when I saw this question but found nothing. |
| #10 Today's Question - Who is Lady Sabrina, one of the High Councilors of Red Stone's council? |
Answer - She is the wife of Admiral Chronicle and a powerful mage who specializes in water/ice magic which is why she accompanies her husband on his ship - so she can be close to her element. She was chosen as a High Councilor because of her teachings - she used to be one of the best professors in Red Stone, teaching both science and magic. |
So there was statues for others after all ^^
I can guess 2 things:
Indeed Nikola's father wasn't seen but what so special about him. Probably just a normal man.
| #11 Today's Question - Why did the Sect of the Holy Mother summon the Serpent when it did? If the Serpent knew about the destiny of the saviors why didn't he gather his forces sooner and attack? |
Answer - Because that was their destiny. Why does anything they do happen at that time? Why did the Richard have to push Karolina and save her while dying from the corprass? How come Nikola slashed the Grand tome of the Holy Mother when he did in part IV? It was all part of the divine plan, it was their destiny. If The Serpent was summoned a hundred years ago the saviors would have been "born" a hundred years earlier and some things might vary, but the main track of events would stay more or less the same. The Serpent could see only a small fragment of what is to come, not being able to see the whole picture and, therefore, not being able to stop Nikola and the others from foiling their plans. |
| #12 Today's Question - If the Old Gods knew how things will turn out why didn't the Holy Mother trap Nikola or kill him immediately to prevent her own destruction? |
Answer - They knew what was going to happen, but they didn't know how it will happen(to prevent changing destiny). The Holy Mother thought that it would be possible to change destiny and she/he expected Nikola to attack her head on, as he has done with many of his enemies. The reason why she didn't take away Nikola's sword or chain him up is because she/he wanted to demonstrate her absolute power, showing she/he has nothing to fear from Nikola. She/He underestimated his cunning and therefore lost her/his place in the universe. |

| #13 Today's Question - What is up with that prison spell security system? Does it really kill anybody that even thinks of trying to escape? |
Answer - No, Henry didn't mean that literary. The whole inside of the prison is enchanted so that it shocks anybody that raises a weapon on a guard or makes a run for it. The first shock simply weakens the prisoner but if the guy is persistent a second shock is released killing the prisoner. |
| #14 Today's Question - Chancellor Reege. Who is he? What does he do? He is first mentioned in Sect of the Holy Mother 6 and was never mentioned again until Lone Panther 1. What's his story? |
Answer - Cato Reege is first mentioned in Sect of the Holy Mother 6 - Black Riverisde. William tells Nikola that he had been in a group who's aim was to cleanse Black Riverside. The group was lead by councilor Reege. At this point it is unclear if Reege is still in Black Riverside or, for that matter, if Reege is still alive. Reege's next appearance is in the Lone Panther 1 - Blackened History. He is now a chancellor meaning he had gone up a few ranks, but he is also an outlaw because it seems that he didn't accept the king's offer to help him take over Kaliim. Little is known about Reege in general. He has a vast knowledge of alchemy as well as magic and he is extremely powerful. It seems he knew Richard Devox back when he was alive and he knows William Rackham. It is also known that he doesn't know Karolina Pediment. His relations with other characters are at this time unknown. |
Why?
| #15 Today's Question Is Black Riverside the only place that still remains corrupted after the final destruction of the Sect of the Holy Mother? |
Answer - William Rackham says in the end of part 8 something like "Over the years the Serpent's corruption on the land wore off but some places, such as Black Riverside, will never be able to cleanse themselves." Suggesting that Black Riverside isn't the only corrupted place. Note: Not all of these places that have been scared for life have to be towns. It is pretty safe to say that the church near East Bizol(SotHM 1) is also corrupted and won't return to normal. |
