this isn't about the rise of irontomb, this is about *phainon* "walking the path to elevation, granted by the blemished one," which isn't dependent on irontomb's existence at all.

like, i don't see any other way this line could be interpreted

if you don't need any of them (which you probably don't - topaz isn't very strong atm, luocha is a good healer but hyacine's better if you can afford her, ruan mei is a decent support but not groundbreaking) and don't like either of them enough to commit without asking, i'd suggest saving!

it'll only be the main story, plus 3.7's "epilogue"!

100%.

it's usually queer relationships & in fiction, it's always "oh you only say this just bc it's gay, isn't it"

as if one of them being the opposite gender would change their interactions, dynamic and mythological & literary references at all??

sometimes being a bro just means being willing to let your one and only bro stab you hundreds of billions of times <3

i only learned of this bc mrpokke got it on his playthrough, so to be triple sure you can check his stream LMAO

we don't know yet & i highly doubt they'll ACTUALLY kill them all off...but this is an absolutely incredible marketing move, honestly

basically, the final quest of the current arc drops in a few hours & everything has been leading up to at least one, if not SEVERAL characters potentially dying...and some of the official accs are trying to give us more reasons to worry & crash out by "deleting" them & posting farewell messages </3

praying 🙏

oh, if we can't finish the quest in one go we WILL be back on thursday
