Chapter 28 – Page 32
And that wraps up this DOOZY of a chapter, clocking in at 32 pages, our longest yet! We’ve been getting a lot of positive feedback, and for that we are truly grateful. Your praise keeps us a-chugging along.
As some of you know, these chapters are sometimes written/revised as close to the wire as can possibly get, so we’re going to take a couple days to try and get a head start on the next one, which means that Chapter 29 will begin on Monday. Thanks for bearing with us, we promise it’ll be worth the wait!
I like where this is going
Iver does not look thrilled.
However, I think Harky and Gondolessa make a cute couple
Or “Gondarky” for short.
No no no, Iver looks absolutely thrilled: he now has some juicy dirt on Harky
Not dirt …. leverage.
Do we even know if gayness is looked down upon (preferably by a small minority rapidly going out of date) in Arkerra at all? Maybe it’s the interspeciesness of it that has Iver all o_o.
or maybe it (For what ever value of “it”) is fine in most of the “wild” cultures, but not in the dwarves? Remember, there is no requirement for “appropriateness” to be universal between different societies.
What if it’s a political corruption thing? Is it really fair for Harky to be in a relationship with one of his generals, especially when the generals represent nations which he united? Some might worry about favoritism. Especially if it got out, the idea of each nation being treated as equal could be called in to question. Why are there not as many Avian casualties in that last battle, etc.
…or among different species…
You’re right. Still, “societies” seems to be the better term. Apropriateness doesn’t belong to species, but to societies.
like the greeks(massadonians whatever) pederast? thats expected, a man should enjoy a prepubecent child until hes ready to marry and have children. but an ADULT sodomite/buttbuddy? xander teh great has gone too far(especially with rumor that he was playing “the woman”
Do we know if “Gondolessa” is male or female? Is sounds like a female name, and being avian the mammalian physical cues one may be used to wouldn’t apply.
Gotta go on a pronoun hunt through the archives, maybe.
Gondolessa has consistently been called ‘he.’
well are we sure Harky is a ‘he’? We know female trolls go for the tough butch look?
There’s also the fact that being Harky’s lover has apparently given Gondolessa a higher standing within the council than he might otherwise have had.
There’s a lot of potential things that Iver might be thinking…
to be fair from an outside perspective birdman is the only one not a corrupt fool so thats probably the real reason but good luck convincing iver
Wasn’t thinking of that angle, just simply having a relationship with someone he has elevated to such a high position (yes, lots of inuendo in that comment :P)
Given the situation that the dwarves are in, there may be a strong social stigma attached not to homosexuality specifically but rather to not breeding. Of course, Iver’s not exactly one for traditional thinking and he knows that there’s way more trolls and avians than he likes around anyway, so…
Maybe Gondolessa is a “bird”, after all. A female General might be more scandalous than a homosexual relationship, if you consider the sexist language used by a couple of generals, a while back.
Not leverage …. a bitter jealousy!
Gondolessa’s sexual dimorphism also appears to be male(wide shoulders and narrowish waist tend to be a male thing). And I also think that he is genuinely interested in Harky and not for promotion purposes. His rank is already pretty high and is equal to Harky.
But how long has his rank been equal to Harky, and how long have they had this relationship?
also, we’ve seen that female avian a few chapters back. Gondolessa’s definitely a dude.
It could absoultey end up this way, but that scrunched up face seems to be more the look of an initial discovery then an intricate scheme.
That just says “Wait a minute… they bone! Together!” in a “eewwwww” context.
Either that, or it’s a “Gah, keep that for your room, you too” face.
…”you two”. I’m ashamed of me.
I was expecting a spit-take myself.
I think he’s trying not to spit out wine or choke on it from laughing.
“Iver does not look thrilled.”
Not thrilled ? He’s outright disgusted, you mean. ^^
I sure as hell didn’t expect that turn of event between Harky and Gondolessa. ^^
The number of Harky and Gondolessa fangirls has just tripled.
It’s like Jagger/Bowie all over again. Wait, um, I mean… uh… something this millennium.
Harry/Draco? Hmm, still kind of borderline.
Something something Twilight?
Don’t forget about the fanboys. I was all YAYYYY OMG :D:D here.
Nice. Very nice.
I must say, because of your Gravatar, I read that as the most monotone YAYYYY OMG ever.
Doooood, I am straight and I couldn’t help but be thrilled with this matchmaking. I love all of the couples in GA…….aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
Foreplay is awkward all across the boards. Tusks or beak, take your pick, all just hurt you di- Umm… <..>
Iver is angry that he didn’t think of seducing Harky to get in his good graces first.
I don’t think it’d end well for Iver.
Oh, Iver, what are you planning now?
Actually, what’s the general consensus on homosexuality in Arkerra anyway?
Honestly, I doubt Iver cares at all about the homosexuality angle. That kind of thing isn’t all that uncommon amongst soldiers and generals from a similar time period in the real world.
Iver is probably more thinking along the lines of “Inter-species love making? Unnnnnacceptableeeeeeeeee”
I don’t think Iver has much in the way of, uh, principles, whether good ones or bad.
If I was Iver, I’d be thinking “How can I use this?”
I’m thinking that Iver’s looking at a nepotism angle. Harky’s given Gondolessa authority beyond that of Gondolessa’s peers, and if Iver can find a way to spin that as some sort of breach of the people’s trust then Harky might be standing on less solid ground next time there’s a dispute over how Iver wants to use the soldiers.
This is a very likely scenario assuming that Iver is not homophobic. Iver can accuse Harky and Gondolessa of making decisions based on their relationship rather than for the good of their coalition. That’s always the charge used on leaders in a relationship with one another.
I could imagine that homophobia isn’t a thing in Arkerra. I would like that because it’d show the contingency of the concept.
What?
Sorry if I’m being unclear. I try to explain:
Homophobia is a concept that’s changing through human history. There were/are times/cultures where it doesn’t/didn’t exist. Today very often people tend to assume that homophobia is necessary, often by backing it up with some kitchen evolutionary pychology. It isn’t. It’s perfectly possible that the idea of being homophobic is absurd in Arkerra.
On the other hand, it might be an issue for some. As I said, I wouldn’t hold Iver as above it.
Sure, it might be. I just wanted to point out the possibility that it might not. Iver could nevertheless still have reasons to take issue with the relation between Harky and Gondolessa.
Ignore the homophobia thing, and you are probably on to something
I can’t- Iver could very well be homophobic as well as the other possibility. In fact, they’re not exclusive- he could do both.
ivers not an idiot, he may be homophobic but being a suave diplomat he could just take it the other way, it would allow him both the upper hand and the moral upstanding should he choose to betray harky at a crucial period later.
I think its safe to say that harming Harky directly is a bad idea, but Gondolessa isn’t an immortal avatar, he’s old and it looks like Harky cares about him/her(starting to debate gender here). would potentially be a good tool to bring Harky “back on track”
http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-28-page-14/
Harky refers to Gondolessa as “he”. Debate no more.
In retrospect that little speech about gondolessa speaking for him was pretty much a wedding vow.
So, that’s confirmed then?
Guess that also explains what part of Gondy’s anatomy Harky was checking out/smirking at
Re-reading that it’s very unclear what I was saying lol.
IMO, Ivar is probably considering how to use Gondolessa against Harky, since he can’t really do anything against Harky directly :D
Considering a great deal of their social hierarchy is based off of the Roman Empire, I get the feeling that homosexuality wouldn’t be considered taboo in the slightest.
Now, trans-SPECIES relationships? Those might be frowned upon.
And think about how complicated/terrifying it must have been for one of them to make the first move! ASIDE from the usual “do they like me” stuff and the tricky “wait, does he like men” stuff, THEN you have to be get over the racial differences AND the fact that they’re leaders of separate, though allied, groups. This would be like FDR trying to convince Churchill to have an illicit relationship with him, except in this case both happen to be capable and even super-powered warriors.
Roman and Greek homosexuality had rules–it was not OK in all contexts. For example, in Greek society, citizens (adult males only) were not supposed to be “receptive” or “the bottom.” A Greek man’s relationship with a Greek adolescent was part of the classical culture, but when the boys became adults–citizens–they were supposed to stop being the subordinate (the “beloved”) and could potentially enter into a relationship with an adolescent. Male slaves and male non-Greeks were fair game (as “subordinates”).
Roman society was a little different, because Roman citizens included children and women. It was acceptable and even expected that a Roman man would take sexual advantage of male or female slaves. He might also have non-Roman (but free) lovers–e.g., Emperor Hadrian and Antinous. But no Roman man or boy was supposed to be on the “receiving end” with anyone. (Of course there were people who broke those rules in Greek and Roman societies.) So technically, two Roman generals shouldn’t be lovers. If you assume the Roman model, whether Harky and Gondalessa are “acceptable” may depend on whether they are considered equal citizens in a greater empire, and if not, who is considered to be from the ruling class.
Currently, it seems no single Savage Race is controlling all of the others (with the exception of the Orcs) or that they are a single nation–they seem to have a tense civility at best. And as pointed out they represent multiple species. So things may be complicated.
And of course, it’s a fantasy, so my blathering about the complexities of male/male relationships in antiquity probably means nothing anyway. ;-)
Thanks for the history lesson. I think I’ll run the risk of assuming that you’re accurate.
I can confirm the part about Greek culture. The invective term for the “receptive” was “Kinaidos” (effeminate).
historicaly speaking, he is right about the Roman law on Homosexual behavior. but the culture of that time still looked down the act. to them, it did not produce needed children Hetro sex did produce. The Roman empire needed postive population growth all the time. the always had a need for good workers and loyal legionairs.
Julius Caesar’s political opponents mocked him by calling him “Queen of Bithynia” for supposedly exchanging sexual favors with King Nicomedes IV for a fleet of transports that he was supposed to acquire for the troops.
But like Flevine said the controversy lied not in the homoerotic context but in the notion that a member of a patrician Roman family would “take it” from someone. As long as you’re on top it’s not a big deal.
I still wouldn’t put Iver above it.
I know it’s late to post on this page, but now that I’m reminded of this, I think you might be the most accurate, though there clearly is also a good amount of real love there as well.
I just hope that if Iver does try anything, Madam Arfa will take care of it by “asserting her dominance” over him.
.. Wait, people didn’t pick up on this already?
I guess my gaydar’s getting better.
Wait, Gondolessa’s male? I just assumed he/she was female (from the essa at the end of the name, I mean.)
Nah, check the cast page:
“Cool and calculating, Gondolessa is a reliable assistant to Big Boss Harky, and acting leader of the Avian faction. Though he lacks the charisma to lead himself, his sound grasp of tactics and nation-building have earned him Harky’s respect, and in return he seems to offer his loyalty to Harky personally, even above the cause they share.”
I mean, subtext’s pretty strong even there!
Cheers!
Well…
(I just did that to see if I still had the same avatar as you do.)
Gondolessa is always referred to as ‘he’. The other named Male avian, their Champion, is named Rana. Avians clearly don’t use the Italian/Spanish system for gendering names,
Out of curiosity, what clued you in? Is it Gondolessa’s profile as you quoted? Or something else? My gaydar is horrible or non-existent.
That’s my secret, Captain.
I’m always shipping.
Oh, you drive a truck for a delivery service?
Looking back, the conversation on page 15 takes on a new context. A sexy implications context.
Oh… Yes, Gondy would have a very good idea of how “spry” Harky is…
Yeah, I didn’t see this coming at all. And I see this kind of thing *everywhere*
Oh you didn’t know? You better call somebody!!!!
My sides, they are in orbit.
Not sure if Wrestling reference to New Age Outlaws and if so not sure if Phil is laughing because of that.
If both are yes, I am a happy Jabberwocky.
That certainly ruffled someones feathers.
I’m guessing Harky is the bottom in this relationship.
GET IT
IT’S FUNNY BECAUSE GONDOLESSA CAN FLY
Who do you think made the first move? I’m actually betting Gondolessa, if for no other reason than Harky would be worried about taking advantage of his position of authority.
mmm interspecies relationships
That’s fowl.
HOW DO THEY KISS
They probably do… other things.
“Blow into the fluted end.”
They kiss exactly like you think they do. Harky goes in deep. (Or so I assume.)
Probably don’t, on the mouth. A peck on the cheek, or nuzzling, would be more likely.
well paint me in tar, and cover me with feathers…this is an awkward situation;D
Easy, he gives him a little peck on the cheek
10 points to Gryffindor.
I have TERRIBLE gaydar.
You’re not the only one.
I didn’t see it coming,b ut now that it’s here it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
Same here.
Well, me too. I was sure they were bestest of friends, somehow the hints of them being more than just that escaped my gaydar. Looks like I need to update it.^^
But who can afford the fees? Seriously, its expensive to update those things!
How much does a basic one cost anyways… I think I need one.
I love the sudden realization sunburst behind their hands.
And every time I scroll down and see their content faces, and Ivar’s :I face it makes me crack up xD
No, no, those are speed lines. Gondolessa moves fast.
I peeped game before I even scrolled down to the rest… But man oh man, why didn’t I notice this before??
I am also gar for Harky.
Interesting, I totally didn’t pick up on that. I have a feeling this won’t fly with Iver and the Don — but then, what ever does?
this was totally unexpected and I ship it
Iver: My eyes, the goblets do nothing!
1: Did not see THAT coming, I have terrible gaydar too, but then, I have terrible anythinghavingtodowithrelationshipsorattractiondar. It’s a blessing and a curse.
2: HOT DAMN! This is probably now one of my all time favorite comics (collectively speaking). It sits up there with Saga, Claremont’s Brood War saga, BWS’s Machine Man, Morrison’s Animal Man, and the first runs of Myth Adventures or Longshot, SWamp Thing, hellblazer, Sandman…….. okay, there’s lots more, I admit, my list of “all time favorites” is not a short one, BUT, this one is now on it. Un-be-frikkin-lievable. Everything about this comic is jus stellar. Writing, characterization, art, use of extreme short form medium to tell a HUGE story, sudden twists, sudden trysts, making us care about ALL the players, not just the hero(oine)(s)….
Good God This is Good.
To be fair to Iver, I’d probably be jealous of those adorable side-smiles too.
Feathery and Fiery live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on war council, see. Oh Tectonicus, why don’t we?
There is madness in everyone
We have the will
To fight and kill Gastonians
‘Cause we need to survive
Together alive
Are they a couple?
Aw, they seem so comfortable together and don’t have trouble being open in semi-public. Healthy gay relationship = awesome, plus interspecies = WIN.
I think my heart just melted into chocolate and strawberries.
…how did I not notice this.
It’s Loras and Renley all over again.
…you didn’t predict Loras and Renley? I guess its a bit different in the books. Everything is subtextual so you get to feel smart when you figure it out. But seriously, Renly asks Loras to be the captain of his Rainbow Guard. Its hardly subtle.
Heyo… Did not pick up on THAT at all. Makes me wonder what bastardly ideas this is giving Iver.
He’s going to make sure that tomorrow morning? Madam Arfa and Don Gobligno wake up, bleary-eyed and hungover, in the same bedroll.
Brain bleach, stat!
Don Gobligno and Madam Arfa’s love child.
Somebody draw this, please.
Well hello there sailor.
I think Iver’s objection is not the gay relationship, but yet more evidence that Gondolessa has an “enviable access” to the leader of the World’s Rebellion that he will never be able to match.
My suspicion? Iver will try to have Gondolessa assassinated by “Gastonian spies” so that Harky will become mad with grief and rely on Iver more. Eventually, Iver will be able to take charge.
huh. Didn’t see that one coming.
Wait. Where they whispering in panel 3 or was that a peck on the cheek?
Both?
Ho Yay…(?)
There’s a pecker joke in here somewhere.
Now that’s the sort of comment that could ruffle some feathers.
Tusk, tusk…none of that. Isn’t there a claw against that sort of thing?
Ship detected.
WHY SHIP WHEN IT IS CANNON?
We all know cannon sinks ships.
Well that was unexpected…
Iver’s gotten into the shipping business, currently packaging troll and avian in the same package would be beneficial for profits…
O.O
*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee———————-*
OMIGAH OMIGAH they’re so cute I’m going into fangirl mode and I’m a straight man!
…what’s that sudden noise I hear? Is that a fire alarm?
Minus 100 points to your Man Card.
For some reason, I start imagining Oglaf’s dwarves selling “marital aides” to them as they leave the tent.
Well, Kronar certainly approves, in any case.
Blood and thunder!
Oglaf Dwarf to Gondalessa: “Now I don’t know what’s up your cloaca, but we got the kind of s— it likes!”
http://oglaf.com/lonelymountain/
NSFW.
Well… alright. I’ll trust this is going to actually go somewhere, plot wise, and not just simmer for no reason.
Towards that end, and that end only, I’ll put my faith in Iver.
Most likely its just the bonds of comrades at arms.
but if its that and more, then i ship it like the ship dock scene in Speed 2
Actually Screamed WHAT! out loud this time…
So… Harky is a Bear now?
Hehe, well he’s way too smooth everywhere but on the chin to be considered a bear, I would say he’s more of a gym rat.
Source (and for the lolz), gay subtypes here: http://www.studiomoh.com/fun/census/results.php
I was surprised, but not shocked.
Or wait, could this be the first, tangible expression of their romantic affection for one another? Their positions of power and the continuous risk of Harky being lost in battle might have delayed this relationship, but maybe they’re just now deciding to make it a thing now that Harky is not in the line of fire?
Good point. Although I think The Creators said at one point “there’s already one gay couple, they’re just not ‘out’ yet so to speak”, so likely they were an item before this.
Going back there’s some hand-holding and subtext that wasn’t really emphasized before.
I always figured Tectonicus’s top servant would be flaming. This is pretty hot. I hope they’ll lava nice relationship.
Honestly? I think most of you look at this too much with rose-tinted glasses. I highly doubt that homosexual relationships are anymore accepted or tolerated in this fantasy world than in our real world. After all this world was made by humans, it is a game.
If Harky and Gondolessa have to wait to enter the commander tent for a quick touch on the hand (I don’t think they hold hands for minutes there, probably only for seconds, seconds which Ilver saw) and rely on smiles instead of kisses and more meaningful words, then I guess that most of the Savage would be weirded out if they knew that two of their male commanders are in love with each other.
Those are just my gusses though. Could be that nobody gives a shit about if they are gay or not, but well, I think a lot of them would. While Harky being gay have no effects on his talents as warleader, it still would cause rumors to go around and probably shake up some resiments Trolls hold against males who don’t have sex with women. Or avians or dwarves could have soemthing against it.
While quite some generals/leaders in the past had been gay/bi I don’t recall many of them to be very open about it in public or before their soldiers and I think it’s the same reason why Harky and Gondolessa hold their love under a tent so to say.
Once Harky’s image as a leader gets any taint on it, in this case being homosexual, there would be some who would turn away from harky due said taint and won’t trust him as much as before. And once part of your soldiers don’t trust/follow your orders anymore then there’s anger ahead.
I can’t recall any stuff from before in the story that would hint on homophobie in the people of trolls, dwarves, gnolls, goblins or avians. But then again we didn’t had such a relationship shown in the open yet, so we can’t tell for sure if there would be no reaction at all to it and people would act as if its normal.
Well, let’s see what Ilder will do with this information. he has proven already to have more brain than the Goblin Don (though that’s not hard) as well as some political talent. so I’m interested to see what his actions will be in this regard.
Used to play an MMO game wherein, years ago, the admins made the decision to allow same-sex marriage within the context of the game. Now, the culture of the game is remarkably supportive of homosexual relationships, there is very little homophobia (usually only from newer players) and gay marriage is almost as common as straight.
My point is that its amazing what a little acceptance from the top will do to a community.
So what MMO was that? I’m honestly curious so I can maybe read up about it and possibly check it out if said game is still around.
If getting same-sex-married granted +1 to hit or whatever, every gamer would do it. Traditions and petty meatspace preferences are the first casualties in the quest for ultimate pwnage.
Spot on. I’ll regard this twist as an indulgence for the purposes of ‘plot’. The fevered imaginations of shippers aside, the Savage Races are on the LOSING end of a battle with the humans; their numbers diminished, and they’re not exactly camped on prime real estate at the moment.
Anybody in that circumstance needs numbers on their side… period; that means LOTS of little Savage Races (growing up to be warriors, and mothers) to push back against the humans. Given those factors, homosexuality adds nothing to Savage Races struggle for survival. I won’t pretend to know how the rank-and-file SR’s will react to this development, but I seriously doubt that ‘approval’ is in the Top Ten reactions, given their current situation.
Just because Harkolessa are both dudes does not preclude they would not still do their ‘duty’ to produce more canon-fodder for the war effort
But, then again, guess love played no part in their relationship and they are doing it just to ensure the quicker end to the ‘Savage Races’ out of spite
“Anybody in that circumstance needs numbers on their side… period”
I don’t buy into this. In which time frame (x) will the conflict go down? And how old (y) will new warriors have to be? To me it seems that x<y and procreation therefore not as helpful as you may suggest.
“Honestly? I think most of you look at this too much with rose-tinted glasses. I highly doubt that homosexual relationships are anymore accepted or tolerated in this fantasy world than in our real world.”
So… once more: This “real world” you talk about – could you specify the century and the society?
Wow! New avatar before new chapter. Finally I got my favorite character. At least he was before the lava bath… :-/
And: “Your comment is awaiting moderation.” New feature?
Damn, just the wrong EMAIL.
In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, “Well, that escalated quickly…”
I totally did not pick up on this before, but am delighted nonetheless. Also, IS that panel 3 inset a kiss or just leaning close? Hard to tell what’s going on with that beak.
Not that trolls have inherited positions of power, but I think Harky would be doing his people a disservice by denying them his bloodline. Luckily chieftains can have multiple wives/concubines.
I’m sure Penk will have all the concubines he wants in his stead, don’t worry.
I would honestly be more surprised (and weirdly disappointed?) if homophobia didn’t factor in to however this plot’s gonna play out. I fully expect it’ll take a back seat to the more pressing matters of political and military power, but it’s not something to be completely ignored.
We’re talking about a world where the races have been incredibly divided and hostile towards each other until very, very recently, when some of them decided to band together so they could more effectively be hostile to the rest. You can probably count the characters that are open to cultures and lifestyles other than their own on one hand. The assigned “good guys” still refer to Harky’s alliance as the Savage Races. We’ve already seen that we’re not dealing with particularly accepting people.
(Also, bonus note, if Harky’s homosexuality isn’t even accepted by his own people, then the whole driving motive of the World’s Rebellion not being accepted by the Gastonian Alliance takes on new, more personal meaning.)
call me slow, but i did not see that. it seems fairly obvious now though. weeeeeeee :D
So does this mean Penk be getting some lady troll-ing on the side then? Cause if the lack of ladies is a Harky and not a Tectonicus avatar thing…. Unless it is a Tectonicus avatar thing….
That would be hilarious if Tectonicus turns people gay with his flaming magic.
Penk/Auraugu ship time.
Ooooooooh yes, I shall ship that to Gastonia and back!
That shines a new light on Penk’s reaction when he sees whats-her-face in the crowd admiring his body, but not seeming too pleased anymore. Even though he was hot to impress her back when he was simply a drummer. I’m rolling with your theory
I took that as more of a “Oh, NOW she likes me, but only because I have this kind of power” type of thing. That whole scene was kind of him lamenting about how he wasn’t in control of his life anymore.
That and, for all the awesome being admired is, the knowledge that that’s why somebody’s changed their opinion of you would make it rather empty, I’d think.
You mean this gonna end in Harky x Gobwhateverhisnamewas goblin? XD
Gather the manifests & raise anchor! It’s time to get shipping!
If Madam Arfa gets involved in their evening activities, the background music will be all
Troll chicken bow-wow…
After reading Fans and Penny & Aggie and Quiltbag, I’m kinda surprised it took this long for a homosexual character/couple to emerge.
To. Many. Comments. Crashing. Browser!
…aahahhghghghsdfszxcxc….
i just noticed this is the end of the chapter.
do we get 2 extra “ask an adventurer”s or is this refilling the buffer?
It’s not only a gay relationship, it’s an INTERSPECIES gay relationship. Kinda like one white guy and one black guy dating each other in Mississippi in the 1950’s.
And telling the world “Go screw yourselves !” Really Badass…
Ha ha. I get it. Because Harky is “flaming”. Clever.
I’m still okay with this though. At least until I figure out what horrible pun Gondolessa is. And then I’ll be back with my big protest sign. “Make love, not puns.”
Maybe it’s just one of those cultures in which two friends can touch hands without any inferences being drawn.
Gond and Harky sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G
Pffft. It isn’t because they’re the same gender or different species.
IT IS BECAUSE THEY’RE BOTH OLD!
Ok, so the dwarf dude is too… but… not the point.
Well, I honestly didn’t see that coming but I simply find it too perfect.
… Ya’ know, it was easier to know who to root for before we got to know more about the World’s Rebellion. Now I’m conflicted. I like people on both sides!
