How do you inherit power? Do you just jump straight to monarch

Will Wight

Very carefully.

TransEmo

if each stage of advancement from UL up affects the bodies ageing and your body changes to look more like your ideal age, why does sha miara still look 10yo?

Will Wight

She's the child of a Monarch who inherited power, so she's a little different

Kalani

  is queen sha miara really just 10-11 years old or does she only look that age?

Will Wight

Sha Miara is a little older than she looks.

RMvice

Was elder whisper a witness to the end of the first blackflame empire

Will Wight

Possibly.

Decadakon

Does Lil' Blue have a path

Will Wight

No.

Okazaki

i missed the conversation, but yes, sages can advance.

Bamfious (paraphrased)

Did the scene with Northstrider cycling by the dragons hint at soulfire at all?

Will Wight (paraphrased)

No, but it did hint at a different magic system.

Bamfious (paraphrased)

Is there a benefit to doing Sage?

Will Wight (paraphrased)

There is a definite benefit to doing Sage.

Bamfious (paraphrased)

Can an Archlord get to Monarch without becoming a Sage?

Will Wight (paraphrased)

Yes.

Bamfious (paraphrased)

When can we expect to learn why Yerin didn't get sword arms at Truegold?

Will Wight (paraphrased)

You can expect that in the next book. Maybe.

Lil' Blue

Are Monarch bodily fluids highly coveted elixirs?

Will Wight

Just the blood. None of the others have any special properties.The parts of their Remnants would be far more valuable, if you could harvest them.

The Silent King

Is Eithan lining up Cassius's kid for a shot at the throne?

Will Wight

Read and find out!

Puppet Master

Are there any major ascendant groups that draw on the power of the Void? Additionally, what does the power of the Void do? Also, it's appreciated that you take time to answer questions. A lot of authors ignore their fan base, so hats off to you.

Will Wight

Yes. I will answer this thoroughly in the books, but I can't answer it now without spoilers. Read on and find out! Now I feel guilty for not taking the time to do this for almost two months.

FifthDreadgodLindiego

In Ghostwater, Orthos mentioned that there were Paths that take in the power of natural spirits, can you tell us more about them?

Will Wight

Unfortunately, this is a question that would take me too much effort to answer. Someday I'll do one of those "Ask me a world-building question, and I'll make up an answer!" things again, and this would be a good question for that time. It's a great question, it would just take me too long to make up an answer. Sorry!

Terrible

Could two different Sacred Beasts who had advanced to Underlord or beyond, and taken human form have a child together? If so, what would that child be like?

Will Wight

Yes. Weird.

Tristan

Not sure if this has been answered already, but does madra regeneration get affected by the size/depth/whatever HEPW embiggens of a core? Eg does Eithan take the same time to refill his oversized core as any other Underlord given identical conditions or does he have to wait a proportionally longer time for his madra to refill?

Will Wight

A bigger core takes proportionally longer to refill. Someone else asked how Eithan refills it. Good question! Unless I cut the scene, you find out in Underlord.

Terrible

How does Akura Malice pick who she has kids with, and what sort of presence does the father have in the life of the child?

Will Wight

She chooses her consorts from people with talents or bloodline abilities she values. Normally, the father has no contact with the child whatsoever.

madbookworm

Titans bone, sacred pool, and the flame you just answered about, is there a collective term for that?

Will Wight

There will be, but I haven't made it up yet.

Kidpen

Are there multiple Ways throughout the Void?

Will Wight

Potentially, but even the Abidan don't know for sure.

Lil' Blue

Is Ziel the child of a Monarch?

Will Wight

No.
