Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
Spoily warning! 5.0 Natlan archon quest and also a bit Fontaine archon quest
So, when Capitano said "You heard something from here, didnt you?" everyone just kinda assumed he was talking to Olorun. But theres a trope of the protagonist having a dream about the villain discussing/inacting their evil plans and then the villain addresses the protag directly, seemingly aware of the protags presence. This theory is kinda half-baked but maybe its like when the Traveler dreamed of Childe in the primordial sea...
just a thought tho :p
“What use is the Gnosis in your hands?” “I don’t know what you mean, but it sounds like this is about more than the Tsaritsa.”
Everyone else: “Capitano has personal stakes in this?” “He is going against the Tsaritsa?” “What does he want?” etc etc
Me: Mavuika doesn’t know what a Gnosis is and/or doesn’t understand what they do?? Is she even the archon???
This isn’t confirmed or anything but if we follow the pattern of Ixlel and Ajaw it’s safe to assume that the other lords also bare blue eyes. Which only means Xiuhcoatl does too…
“Ink, kukulkan doesn’t have blue eyes.” Yeah but he also isn’t Xiuhcoatl’s offspring plus he has yellow eyes which Och-Kan follows
I’m just saying guys, blue eyed Xiuhcoatl…
(I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and be like “Yo, wtf was I on last night??” It’s pretty late for me rn 😭)
I haven’t had the chance to talk about this so it’s now or never. I am a definite believer of Ajaw being CL-10 but I don’t really have much concrete proof (at least I think) as most of it is based on how I view Ajaw and the behaviors I observed.
First thing that threw me instantly off the idea that Ajaw is 04 is merely 02’s comment on 04 being old and decrepit. Yes, disdainful and decadent are both traits that Ajaw has but at the same time I fear most of the lord have these two traits. Ajaw constantly boosts about being almighty and powerful, and sure CL-02 could be just making a jab at 04, but being described as old and decrepit isn’t every almighty and powerful, you know?
Secondly CL-10’s behavior and title. Ajaw is fairly foolish if I had to say so myself, his greed is genuinely unmatched and his pride/ego is unshakable. With how CL-10 got sealed up, aka via getting fooled by some humans with a fake jade, it seems to me very in theme of Ajaw’s over all personality.
As for his title, I have a theory that I may discuss more in depth in another post when I get the chance, but I think the titles genuinely mean something to the lords. The best example of this is Ixlel (Ink goes one day without mentioning her pooks? Challenge failed) HEAR ME OUT. Ixlel is known as the Chronicler of the End times and if I do say so myself that’s a pretty important part of her character. She literally experienced the end times of dragons first hand and if I had to guess she saw them hence why she fled to Och-Kan in order to survive. Back to Ajaw, he suffered INTENSE isolation. Sealed up in god knows where with little hope of ever meeting any living being again, yeah pretty isolated. Now let’s compare both of the titles:
I’m sure someone can make an arguable point for 04’s title (please someone do cause I genuinely can’t think of anything) but It is more clear to me with 10’s. “Undying Wings of Lofty Isolation” in other words “can’t die dragon of high/resilient/noble/other synonyms for lofty Isolation”. We sure know as hell that Ajaw isn’t dying anytime soon and I’m bringing back the fact that Ajaw was definitely isolated for an unknown period of time.
Anyway yap time over, in summary this is more or less why I believe Ajaw is 10 and not 04. If someone wants to tell me more or argue (not aggressive way, I love seeing other peoples povs) let me know ❤️
