Bloodcrete: Chapters 1-4 (The Weirkey Chronicles)

Ugh, this section has been edited multiple times (both in terms of specific materials and the numbering). Theo is counting every floor of his heart column and not counting his vestibule as a separate room, so that's intended. As for the number of finished rooms... I'll have to direct you to Lamsey on that, because my memory of it is scrambled by all the editing.

Going over the count of Theo's chambers v. End of Bondsfungi: Bloodcrete Ch 1. > Still two empty chambers on his third floor, and one undeveloped on the second... sometimes that made him feel far from ascension, but Theo tried to think about it the opposite way. His ideal blueprint had twenty-seven rooms in the first section, and he'd filled twenty-four. In Lamsey's illustration we see only the Armament Clothing & Chaosgem room, leaving seven 'empty' rooms. There are two materials that were mentioned as belonging to the third floor since the illustration: Voidflint & Intertialvoid. That means there are five 'empty' or unfinished. Also: Tier 1 = 9 chambers (Vestibule) + Heart Column Tier 2 & 3 = 8 chambers + Heart Column 9+8+8 = 25 chambers OR 10+9+9 = 28 chambers Basically a reminder to check the chamber math.

He reminds me of oz we see from the memories, btw.. is everyone here a cradle fan?!? 🤣

I tend to agree. Eithan was tough during training but I never got the sense that he was indifferent to what would happen to them. Eithan cared about them, Tythes however only seems to care about his plan and he cares about Nuada and the others only to the extent that they serve his interests.

Dark Prophet

You're correct, but Nauda is capable of locating one. Since they can be difficult to find, Authorities often have lower tier soulcrafters do the searching.

Sarah Lin

Woohoo here we go! Thank you for the new chapters! But I am a bit confused, aren't only Authorities (and higher) able to use Weirkeys?

I feel like Tythes is kind of a Dark Eithan. He has that same cavalier attitude, but he wears his damage on his sleeve and also projects it on other people aggressively, unlike Eithan

FoolRegnant

Is it bad that the more we interact with Tythes the more he feels a bit like Ethan from cradle? Not they same by any means but kind of cut from a simulation cloth. I think it's that he is both humor and serious while being like half the jokes are for his sake and no one else's.

Nick Pincus

Always a treat to read these. Good storytelling is very welcome.

Runcible Technician

Yay! New chapters. I like to see Theo get some more sense of wonder after returning to the Nine. Maybe someday he’ll get to explore. Nauda seems a bit in over her head, which seems about right for where they are now. All-in-all I’m looking forward to seeing where things are headed.
