Anyone got some "what-if" ideas for the Arcane Universe

I think Keraxe would probably win. It wouldn’t be a complete stomp, but in the end, Sameria wouldn’t be a kingdom anymore. So now Keraxe controls the Vimir Sea AND the Nimbus Sea.

And from there, they’d likely attempt to gun Ravenna, or, less likely, Azura

Probably Azura first. Given that Ravenna’s military might WAS what kept Keraxe from attacking Sameria to begin with, Wotan would probably try to build up his army even further before he tried to take Ravenna.

No? Ravenna has the weakest of the 3. If we’re being real here the reason they stopped the war was likely due to Ravenna’s connections to the Order

Realistically, he’s got Sameria as well now (or what’s left of it) so he’d probably be fine, but with Azura? Absolute oblivion

Theos dies. the PK is still revived, but without being given direction they are sent down an entirely different path. The PK might die in Newground Island, but maybe they become a pirate, who knows.

Durza is still probably killed off by a coalition of either the AG or the OSP, since without Theos no faction would feel safe knowing Durza had no seal.

If it was connections to the Order, I don’t think Wotan would be ready to snatch up that sandy real estate the moment Calvus died

Isn’t that literally what is happening in ao atm

It makes sense he would immediately.

If the dude connected to the highly secret organisation who prevented you once is dead, whos stopping you?

There’s a point, did the treaty have anything to do with the Order? Other than Calvus orchestrating it

As far as I know, it was just that Ravenna served as a mediator between the two nations

Yeah but they’re part of the treaty too. Calvus, Nilah, and Wotan would’ve all had to sign it

Most likely.

Ravenna was literally in a dark age at this point.

They had lost their strongest generals, their first king who held a powerful curse, they had been reduced to a single curse, and to make it all worse:

Their king had “died”, leaving a CHILD on the THRONE of a country susceptible to the Thorne Empire simply returning and finishing the job.

Not to forget that the Bronze Sea also now had been so far-gone from full Ravenna Control that the Jaw Pirates did whatever they wanted, and a whole ass cult just emerged on one of the largest islands literally in the middle of the sea.

You know it’s big when Greenwish is mentioned

I’m not even sure if Wotan is part of the Order, or even knows it exists

He isn’t, Vet confirmed

Wait really?

He’s 100% not, his ideas just conflict with the Order’s final goal + im pretty sure vetex stated somewhere Wotan isn’t affiliated

Yes he did, here

Then yeah, I think Ravenna probably just had enough of a military influence that Wotan, at the very least, decided it wasn’t worth invading Sameria while Calvus was still alive
