Anyone else catch a line or two about the Stormriders and how alien they are - I think ICE tossed that in just to say something like "Yeah, I heard some of you complaining about not learning more about the Stormriders in SW, but too bad because the in-world characters have no idea either!" :(


followed, of course, by a textbook high-pitched evil-villain giggle :(
There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Of course, in OST ICE gave us big heaping globs of Seguleh info and people complained about that too.

And yet no one has commented so far about Ina using only one sword...

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

And she barely used it at that.

Blanking here, but haven't we had previous Seguleh who only fight with a single sword? On the boat at the end of RCG maybe? Or a couple of them in OST? Or maybe the bodyguard in TCG? At a minimum, the Second/Soldier of Death didn't, tho admittedly he's a special case.

Oh for sure. I never said the wailing about Jan's one sword that arose when we got the OST preview was in any way rational.

One weird thing is that Ina's mask is referred to here -- exactly once, by Murk I think -- as a typical Seguleh "half mask".
They came with white hands and left with red hands.
