Any plans on Traveler's Blade in the near future?
No...but caveat. So the no comes from, I have got to get get OKAK finished, so that's why no. But after Kings and Killers, I have one more cradle book, and then something else. That's when my next open slot is, Kings - Killers, Cradle 7 and then something else. And that something else spot, could very well be Travelers Blade, I really don't now
Is the new Subnautica worth buying?
Yes, absolutely. It's worth everyone buying. I sound like i'm joking, i'm not really. It's great, it's really good. It's a lot more story focused than the first Subnautica. This is a story game with a survival game in the background. You actually have a character and you interact with other characters. Your primary reason for being on the planet is a personal character goal, not "you're crash landed and you have to be on the planet." It's an interesting direction, I'm surprised they took that direction but i like it, i'm cool with it. Right now it's only like 2-3 hours of story content. I played through it, I loved it, and then you can wait for the developments to come out.
What was the goldsign for the path of the Broken Star (or at least one of the common goldsigns when it was around)?
If I recall correctly I think it was a purple star on the forehead. Like on the crown of the head, at the hairline. A glowing star not like a Harry Potter lightning bolt. An actual glowing thing.
After hearing your Dross voice, I now believe Dross is a gnome. Is this true?
Haha. Yes this is 100% accurate, Dross is only 30% through his transition to full gnome hood. He's currently like a Mike Wazowski looking floating purple thing, but he's going to develop a second eye and a whole little body and a beard and denim overalls and a peaked red hat, yes.
If you were able to complete the full preparation for more than one type of Iron body, would you get the benefits of both? Would it be a hybrid? Did Lindon kind of do this, for example, because his legs were also broken when he ascended?
So what Lindon kinda did, in the case of his Iron body, is he did take the Bloodforged Iron body but he took it to a real extreme. And so that's why he gets the extra regeneration that he normally may not have. Because, normally, that's just the basic function of that Iron body just exaggerated. If you fulfilled the parameters for multiple Iron bodies at the same time, you would not get both. You would get a hybrid or it would just fail entirely, and you would get a really crappy Iron body or not a perfect Iron body at all; you'd just advance to Iron. Because the ways to get Iron bodies are typically figured out over generations. So, if you mixed two together it would either not work or, occasionally, you'll get kind of a crappy version of two.
Why are the Akura named the way they are?
That's actually something that goes back to Malice. Because of Malice's name, people are like, "Oh, they're named after virtues and vices." Not really. They're named after--they're all named after virtues. So, in their estimation, malice is a virtue. So it's sort of a limitation of the English language that they're not using. But it's kinda like the desire to, the will to, defeat your enemies, or whatever. But they're named the way they are because in Malice's--Malice created the Akura clan but she's from an Akura clan that was just a very simple family a long time ago. And so you earned a name. So your parents earned a name for you as a kid. So your name became the wish for who you would be when you grew up. And so their wish for her was that she had the will to defeat her enemies, and that's what malice means in that context. So, Fury; yeah, fury's considered a virtue. That is where that tradition came from, so she continued it. Not everybody in the Akura family is named after a virtue; only really the head people or their children. Some people even give them a regular family name, and then if they distinguish themselves and are, therefore, considered a true descendant of Malice, then they get a better name.
What Iron body would be perfect for the Wei clan?
Iron body perfect for the Wei clan... I feel like I had an answer for this a long time ago. Like I had a perfect Iron body that was set up for this. I'm trying to figure out what it was. Something stealth related; something where they can either make less noise or sneak more easily.
Could Nightsong manipulate a Monarch?
No. It would be a classic clash of madra versus madra, and so the Monarchs would just beat her.
Are the Dreadgods all of equal power? Or are some of them weaker/stronger than the others? If so, which is strongest?
Hm, what a great question. The four Dreadgods are equal in power.
Is the sword wielding monarch that fought the sage of the endless sword still alive?
I believe the answer is no, but I'll have to look that up. I know who it was but I may have changed my mind somewhere along the line. The person I had doing it was someone who is now dead. But I may have changed my mind to someone who is alive, so you'll have to read and find out on that one!
Are the Winter Sage and the Sage of the Frozen Blade the same person?
They are; she is.
From the Sage of the Endless Sword's Remnant, are the rings in his form similar to the Akura armor?
No, they are not. The rings in his spirit are more similar to the Akura books that they use. So it's like the thing Mercy carries around.
What was the name of the Li clan's path, and what sort of madra do they use?
Ah.. I have the answer for that, I don't remember. I think they're a venom path because they use snakes. That sounds right. I don't remember I have to look that up, but I think so. I think it's venom.
When are we getting that Dross-written "smut" fanfiction that you promised us?
That's not going to happen. I'm not going to write it because I could never do it justice. The complex eroticism that Dross has planned for it would just be beyond me.
Regardless of if he would, could Orthos transform into a more human form like the gold dragons?
Yes, absolutely he could.
Do you think a translation of Cradle would do well in China?
No idea.
Do pills contain toxins?
Not exactly. The more I developed refining, I understood why wuxia made pills have toxins. In Cradle they follow some of the same rules, such as elixirs and pills having less effect the more you use them.
I wanted to inquire as to how a combination of let's say life and death madra would occur in a path.
Most of the people on Cradle consider death madra a variant of life madra because they share a lot of the same properties, and if you combined death madra with life madra you would basically just have death madra. So that's basically just what it would be; it would just be death madra. You've taken life and combined it with the form of death and that really is just death. That's all you'd have. However, there is at least one character that exists that I have outlined that uses both life and death madra. And they use two different paths.
What would be an effective death madra path?
The weirdest thing about death madra is that it's kind of like blackflame madra in that it's not really healthy to interact with. Like pure destruction madra, which everybody of course thinks is gonna be the best cause it sounds awesome, it doesn't do well on it's own, so it usually needs like a physical medium. So therefore you would see a lot of destruction fire, destruction wind, death wind, death fire something. Something that has a physical form. Cause otherwise it's kind of like you're projecting radiation at your enemy, and they're just like waiting until they die. So an example of an effective death madra path would be off the top of my head like a death sword path so that you could really focus it and it would be very focused and then you could like, try and cut off somebodies life with a slice. Now, would that be necessarily any more effective than actually just straight up sword madra? Not necessarily, because one of the things that we're gonna get into, I mentioned this mechanic a little bit earlier, but everybody's got life madra in them, everybody's got life force in them, they all generate cause you're alive. So you generate life force, so you've got kind of a life line, so you've got a life line. So therefore death madra has to sever or erode away that life line in order to kill someone. So it's not as completely overpowered as it seems.
I really wanted to ask you, how did the Sword Sage know about the Sacred valley?
Uhhhhh man that's a spoiler. That-that's a spoiler.
