Port Mistral & Chapter 7 - Story Analysis

Just a small analysis of the Port Mistral story. Enjoy.

1.

Number One - Sameria’s Changing Status

SameriaProvinceInformation
As we can see, with the arrival of the Fenrir, the Status of Sameria has been changed to “At War”
They also have gained increased Curse Power with the addition of Morden on their team.

Number Two - Wotan’s Sons

We finally get confirmation on the Sons of Wotan, them being
Tiwaz - Wielder of the Frostmetal Curse. Tiwaz being the name for a rune, resembling a spear that represents the Norse God Týr, who in Greek Mythology most closely links to Ares I believe. Also blame him for Tuesdays.
Jarson - Wielder of the Lunar Curse. The only link to Jarson in Norse Mythology that I can find is in the name Loki Laufeyjarson
Both Loki and Tyr have links to the wolf Fenrir.
Baldur - Wielder of the Aether Curse. I guess we’ll be seeing Aether again much sooner than we anticipated. As in never. I didn’t want to have to fight the stupid AoE light ever again. Of course links to the Norse God Baldr. Oh look, he’s something to do with Light. Who could have guessed.
Donar - Wielder of the Lightning Curse. The fact we haven’t ran into the Lightning Curse before now is pretty insane. But here it is. Donar being specified as the eldest son makes me feel as if he will easily be the strongest and perhaps the fight where we get to see a big plot twist or sacrifice. Donar is another name for the Norse God Thor.
Sure hope our mutual links to a certain angry thunder god man doesn’t cause any tension.

Number 3 - Wotan
Tech did specifically say not to underestimate Wood Magic. I guess this is why.
Yeah so being able to create ships from thin air is hell of an ability.

If Wotan’s boss battle isn’t against a giant Fenrir which he is controlling and morphing I don’t want to come.

Number 4 - Nilah has a Curse
As we’ve theorised, Nilah confirms that she has her own curse.

Perhaps it’s the Sun Curse? Sorry Agnis.

5.

Number 5 - Morden
There’s a bit where Iris and the MC turn towards Morden and its really funny but it happens so quickly I couldn’t get a screenshot, however all the Generals turn towards him after he reveals that he has the Death Curse

Number 6 - Dramatic Introductions

Four Generals, One Queen and Two High Ranked Captains. What a council.
Keep in mind that only two of them seem to have a Curse from what I can tell. We might be screwed.

Number 7 - Some interesting things.
Akeem is the only one of them strong enough to combat any one of the Sons of Wotan. I assume that he has a Curse since his eyes are a striking purple. Perhaps is poison or plasma, because I have serious doubts that it could be a different purple curse that we’ve seen in the past.

Nasir has a healing ability - Life or Healing magic probably.

Kelia is the Heir to the Throne of Sameria, so she always has the Captains about just in case.

Hassan is giving me Mentat vibes but without the supercomputer in the head part. He seems like a skilled informant or assassin, so I assume that he has Shadow magic or something similar.

Number 8 - New Islands

Six islands are revealed in this chapter

  • The unnamed islet where the Fenrir docks. Perhaps it will be the base of operations for Keraxe in the Nimbus Sea.
  • Rosehenge, perhaps the second largest town island in the Nimbus Sea. I assume this will be the location we go after Skyhall.
  • Fort Montu, I assume that it will be a side location rather than a main story place. It’s where Nasir will run the infirmary.
  • Hallowed Grove. I’m not sure why Nilah doesn’t send Akeem to Rosehenge, but clearly Hallowed Grove is also an important location for Sameria.
  • Oak Island. Unless this is the small islet, it seems to just be a random wilderness island where Hassan and Morden can hide out.
  • The Volcano of Skyhall. This is giving me TLoZ vibes.

Alright thats it with my theories and ideas. Anyone got anything interesting to add?

I mentioned this in the other thread too, but I used to theorise that Skyhall will be the first location where MC will get their first clue of their past. Possibly being their last location before getting captured. With AO MC going there alone, I think its more likely now, since I’d imagine encountering hints of your past would be personal.

Something about it being Skyhall makes sense ig? There was nothing in the Bronze Sea, so I feel like the first hints of it should be in ghe Nimbus Sea. We know it wasnt in Sameria, so Skyhall is the best bet. Also, its the perfect place to secretly take someone away if the place is cutoff from the rest of the War Seas.

Though, I doubt it’d be their home, I think its more likely they were travelling there. Makes you wonder why AO MC would be there, since it is cutoff from the War Seas… Neviro went to Cirrus because he was running away.

Also, remember how Tech and Vetex said that 2-3 people would become part of our team and join us by Nimbus Sea? Yeah, seems like Skyhall is where AO MC will meet those final people. Kinda brings it full circle, Cirrus was also the beginning where we started aassembling our current squad too.

Just cause AO MC is away from the War, doesnt mean they wont run into conflict. Oh boy, I feel like theyre gonna have a wild ride this time :joy:

Also this could mean we might run into another Order member. We’re focused on Keraxe at the moment but they’re still only the second largest threat - although with five of the strongest sea curses that might change - of the three major forces against us now.

(The conflict is excessive racism)

I had one idea that maybe MC would meet their soon to be long time ally by getting saved from another kidnapping event from the Order lol.

Oh yeah, I remember too. There was some discussion somewhere about the possibility of Morden, Tucker and MC being helped by someone (from the Order) to escape. If that was the case, could we meet that person there in Skyhall? Like, maybe they were hiding or something after betrayal, idk

Now I’m slightly concerned here. Although we’ve heard of Curse Vaults only the Cloud curse is confirmed to be stored in one. Sameria probably has a few but I don’t see why they don’t arm at least a few of their Generals - other than not wanting to interfere with their current abilities such as Nasir’s healing.
Unclaimed curses, not including any of recently dead characters.
Wind, shadow, plasma, poison, (paper possibly), crystal, explosion, snow, storm, aether lightning, poison lightning, (ancient lightning possibly), flare, Phoenix , sun, healing, sound , diamond , (mud probably not), gravity, blizzard, (apoc possibly), shatter, life, pressure, electron, equinox, sacrifice, balance and pressure.

And the possible remaining GFCs of Scorch, Aethereal and DARKFLAME
Although I doubt darkflame belongs to a kingdom and either Scorch or Aethereal probably belongs to an Admiral and no I’m not saying that because of JTN

I’m just gonna say it: I don’t trust Akeem


Oh what a nice guy

:fearful:

…Yikes

huh, one of wotan son has Lighting curse
isn’t that one of Durza(old name) Absorbed curse along with explosion, earth and other(they are even mentioned directly in Lore document that Durza has them)
There no fucking way unless if the lighting curse after Durza defeated somehow end up near Vimir sea or in dark sea next to The war sea

I do find it a little funny that while Iris and Morden are told to work with important members of the Samerian military, we’re just kinda told to fuck off by ourselves. Like I get that sending a general or captain with us now when they’re needed on the frontline would be dumb, but like not even an envoy to assist with negotiations?

Did the Queen or anyone else say anything about not being able to send anyone to Skyhall for some reason? I can’t remember

bro is worth half a point

Gravity maybe? It looks the same color as the gravity circle in the webcomic

Probs cause he’s only new and isnt exactly from Sameria. The queen immediately figured out he was a new Curse User.

i dunno if you missed it or did you just take the screenshot a bit early but

the purple dude isnt looking

either his sensing is crazy good or he just idgaf

yeah i think its either gravity or plasma

too bright to be poison and too dark to be acid ( acid would probably be green tbh )

Someone pointed out the Queen and Akeem not turning could be indicative that theyre the only Curse Users, can probs match him with it

IN KHALIDA WE TRUST
