I love that comparison! I have some thoughts about the true purpose of the structure that might come up if Vahid makes it down there and is able to noodle about. But the Stone Lords were able to accomplish many incredible things with stone, crystal, and resonance, so it's very unlikely that they used the cloaca for what it's being used for now.
More then anything the way you setup the interaction between the past and the current people is a master class in good world building.
Pad took it on the chin and took it well! Excited to see how it plays out.
The scene with the fen walkers got confusing for me in the middle. Also the sickness made me think of shimmer in the show arcane which I doubt it's like.
Got it -- the intention of those NPCs and that back-and-forth was twofold -- First, as part of the revelation that literally everything Anwen's mother told her about herself has been a lie, and second, to demonstrate that Anwen's history still represents an open wound within the fen-walkers. Clearly, they don't agree on Sianna's decisions or the fate she's been consigned to, so Anwen stands to get involved in this conflict if she digs deeper.
Woo! What an opening. Trolldad prediction (in DM with SGH) was right! That's some great foreshadowing, excited to get some more of that CGI budget spent. Maybe they can tame him somehow 👹
A proper heart-in-mouth opening! Really enjoying this, thanks. Does the cloaca description remind anyone else of a nuclear reactor or is that just me?

Tell me more! What part got confusing? The chain of events w/ Sianna and Connor?
The back and forth between the fen walkers leading up to them all being kicked out.

All Fen Troll effects will be 100% practical. It's the only way to make it feel gross enough.
