If a Sage or higher level Sacred Artist world-hopped over to Amalgam and got access to a Territory, could they Incarnate?
Yes.
If so, would they be corrupted, or...
Depends on the Sage's powers and their control over them. It's possible that they could remain themselves, but simply draw more deeply on the Territory. They could potentially siphon the entire fragment of a world that formed that Territory, leaving it a powerless husk.
How do monarchs usually prepare for a fight against a dreadgod or another monarch.
That will absolutely be shown in the series, so I won't comment on it here.
Why don’t people and things leave remnants in EE and travelers gate? It all seems like a connection to the way, and I’m trying to figure out where the elders play into it all vs the Abidan, but I have been wondering why there’re no remnants
Remnants are a consequence of the Cradle energy system, not a function of the Way, so they're tied to Cradle and are not universal.
How is Reading advanced? Is it like on Cradle?
Reading isn't trained like the sacred arts because the magic system is a lot harder to quantify than the sacred arts. A madra technique literally starts to crystallize in the practitioner's soul as a binding, so there are measurable and observable effects. Reading is much more difficult to boil down to a tangible process.
Was the emperor so strong because he had 1500 years to practice or because of the heart?
The Emperor is strong both because he's naturally gifted and because he's had so long to grow and practice.
Can you improve your reading beyond application of a skill?
Yes, you can improve your Reading.
With people being divided over the characters... Which book you choose first is 50/50 In a book that combined the two stories, if you read for a while and it switched POVs to one you liked, you could get into it But you're stuck with a bad taste in your mouth if you didn't like the one you randomly picked and probably won't try the other
Yeah, I’d have no problem believing that, but it doesn’t seem like a ton of people tried one and not the other. I’m not trying to figure out why people didn’t like Elder Empire—because by and large they did, at least in comparison to my other series—but why they didn’t try it in the first place. I have some operating theories, but idk if I’ll ever know.
I think Calder is shallow and unrelatable.
I also need to know if great elders used to be people, since kelarac talks about when he used to be a merchant.
The Great Elders were never people in the sense that you mean. But there is a human origin to them all.
How the emperor’s original companions are still alive if the emperor had to bind himself to the heart just to live longer, and why nobody considers them like great elders at this point if they did the emperor.
The Emperor's original companions were asleep in coffins designed by the Emperor to prolong their lives. They are awakened only when the Empire is in great crisis, and then put back to sleep.
What would London, Simon , Calder and Shera say about Oreos? The classic since it would take too long with the others.
They would all say that Oreos are delicious, because they all have souls.
Hi Will, what sounds do techniques make? Is sound integral to a small set of types of madra, and things like the Dragon's Breath and Rippling Sword only make sounds due to superheating the air or moving fast or something? Do scripts also make noise when they activate?
Scripts do make a small noise when they activate! It’s something like the strike of a match followed by a hum like a power line, though for many scripts, that sound fades away. As for the sounds of techniques, that depends on the nature of the madra and the technique itself. As you say, something like dragon’s breath would make a sound because of its heat (and because of its destruction component tearing apart whatever it hits), but something like the Path of the White Fox would make no sound.
There was an entry [on the old wiki] that talked aobut how judges had the ferarris and regular abidan had the corollas
I don’t remember that analogy, but it’s a good one. Abidan use Presences for a lot of things, not just personal regulation of power. Everybody in the Abidan WOULD have one, at least as the equivalent of like a cell phone.
Wait, does that mean that they are as common and useful as cell phones, or that the difference between a Judge and and Abidan presence is a cellphone and a ferrari?
Sorry, I switched analogies. I meant they’re as ubiquitous and convenient as cell phones.
Is Charity the sister of Malice?
Charity isn't Malice's sister. She refers to Mercy as her niece because the actual relationships get weird, given that so much of the head family is ageless.
Is it possible to cultivate "Sex aura", if so what would this look like? What kind of remnant would you bond to get to gold? What kind of Iron body would be best suited for this path?
Sex aura: no, that's not possible. If anything, you'd generate some form of interaction between dream and blood aura, but it probably wouldn't be anything unique.
He could practice Blackflame without a pure core. The pure core helps balance out the spiritual damage caused by Blackflame madra, but the treatment of the Sylvan Riverseed + medicine and/or rest could compensate for that. There are other ways around it.
That was a really good Kelsa passage
Well played
I like that Idea.... I personally want to see Lindon get into Underlord soon
