Empires Update Patch Notes (Discussion Thread)

Pretty sure vetex said the curse landed on him sometime after Thorne had already left

bro that’s not even canon anymore

disinformationsounds strikes again

Time Magic isn’t canon, Time as an Experimental Curse is possible. It has a user who could die in that time frame for it to be flung to Blasted Rock, and it matches whatever shenanigans Caesar is up to.

Poor Sond, I never met him.

I’d believe Azura would be in Aegean, personally. I feel like the positions are all right for the hopscotch seas.

ok then, what would its affects be

obviously not rewinding time, as otherwise octavious would be fully functional. control of time wouldnt create a whirlwind (except in elden ring we love farum azula), and if its an experimental curse it cant be time magic

actually, auzra might be in the last sea cause they seem to be very important in the story

i dont think auzras in agean

Well, the idea is that a Time curse could revive somebody, and then allow them to grab it, because death is a product of time. The sand that got everywhere apparently makes sense because sand is known for being in Hourglasses, which would exist in the time period.

Idk what kind of warring kingdom would just leave after victory and killing 3 important figures without accounting for the Curse Revival, usually they claim and stay on the territory they fought for when they win

My main theory/point is that there’s no other factors that could force Thorne off a landslide win other than Octavius being revived by the Experimental

And they also didn’t clean up Caesar’s corpse if they wanted to keep it so badly? They didn’t clean any of the corpses.

ok so its the sand curse with time controlly bullshit

yeah I aint buyin it

I’m not too sure either, really, but what else?
it has to be an experimental curse, so where’d all this damn sand come from?

idk, the easiest conclusion to this is that Thorne lost their ace (Avery) and decide it’s not worth it anymore, would been bad if the Prince dies there

the freedrock in question:

its probably not actually freedrock since he’s confirmed to be alive, but maybe something like the dead revival curse? it seems like he’s completely mindless considering he sits in a tornado all day

Where did all this sand come from?

cassia bay is made of sandstone, there’s no evidence cassia wasn’t just a desert town

Rereading Zaix’s Journal, ok yeah they could’ve lost Avery even though it didn’t explicitly said he died, though the “They looked like they were… horrified at something…” part makes me think Octavius revival scared them off and Zaix just didn’t know it was him

Then why is there an upward twister constantly emitting sand in the middle?
And how is he not getting flung out of it?

the fuck you mean constantly emitting sand its just a tornado with sand from the surroundings in it

also its entirely possible octavious uses wind magic, considering he went to war I’d assume he’s a magic user. wind+apocalypse bringer imbue could be powerful
