We arrive at the Pivot battle of this book.  I am equally nervous & excited to see the Story being used in force, by both sides.  Before it was a relative side-note, just another set of rules to be aware of.  Now though?  Now the Story has become serious business as we get closer to the end.

I realize I am just talking to myself at this point... don't care.  FAIRY COURT OF QUEEN CATHERINE!!

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

I am betting Kairo's crown is the one after he tries to backstab them again.

"Seven for scale but one for shape" or something like that.

Are you saying that Cat is going to make a fairy court (*NOT* necessarily beholden to her) with the shape of Kairos Theodosian's rule?

Fuckin....

I love this book, a whole lot. I've known since the end of book 2 that this thing is something special, and the death of the Tyrant is gonna be one of my favorite literary excerpts for a while. So completely obviously foreshadowed, yet none the less fascinating for it.

Two things:

Did hierarch just deify himself, or is he dead? I can't tell 😵

MY FUCKING CRACK THEORY GAINS MORE FUEL YES I've been thinking for a while that the whole setting and the gods above/below are just essentially audiences and the moments of "attention" we're seeing are them rewarding Named for a good performance, and the gnomes only became so powerful because the Gods are literally trying to keep creation in a certain genre. Kairos, the one who played the whole thing as a game from start to finish got the ultimate vindication in death: creation is a show, and he just fucking murdered his performance. He's definitely getting a Divine Emmy for this shit.

Pretty sure it's outright stated that Hierarch literally teleported to wherever the Justice angels live and is now permanently cockblocking them.

I wonder what will happen to the League, though, now that both Anaxares and Kairos are gone.

we've got the shape of it already; they'll make pledges of alliance based off city alignment, then fuck off back to the league for a long while. They're ruined militarily after all, with the destruction of nicea's fleets thru Stillwater, so the opportunists will align themselves with whoever's winning and the rest will sit on their heels licking their wounds for the next decade or so. It'll take at least that long for everyone except stygia/mercantis, since they came out with the lightest casualties.
