[@shylarah] Just a few things, - Just in case anyone missed it or forgot (it's been a while!), the Rising took place a while ago before Culmination, so Viveca is remembering the last conversation she had with Indira. In the present, she is currently exploring the catacombs beneath the Red Seminary in search of clues about the blue circle. - Most fire isn't "hellfire". It's two forbidden words that when combined take on a dark meaning. The word "hell" for Omestrians has connotations that are beyond "Fire" (and their acceptance of that concept), to them it hews more towards something wrong and demonic. So, Hell and Fire would mean something like, "Demonic Fire" or something. Basically, it's not the same as their concept of regular fire and to them, it's a word combination that is fucked up and dangerous. - Creid's race is unknown at this time to anyone except Antonin. Those two are besties after all. :p - Antonin can manipulate ether but can't draw it into himself, unless it's white ether. I now realize that I've forgotten whether or not Ziotea can draw ether into herself (without the use of some kind of medical implement) or can only manipulate it. - I posted the glossary in the first post info dump. :) EDIT: - Indira meant "we" as in Creid, Antonin and herself.
