Norwich is a port town in eastern Britain, and apparently, it's been showing signs that it'll be the home of the next calamity for a few months now.

They need to experience Britain for themselves, and to gain the power to adapt to and conquer its challenges.

At first, we thought it was just a coincidence that she shared a name with King Arthur and didn't think about it any further, but we can now say for certain that she IS this Lostbelt's King Arthur.

But while Proper Human History stopped in the year A.D. 2019, in this world, the year 2019 of the Era of the High Queen is still unfolding.

And the previous era[line 2]aka B.C. in Proper Human History terms...
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
...is called the Fae Era.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
Furthermore, during the Fae Era, there was apparently a faerie who saved Britain from the calamities countless times:

@Da Vinci

|
Aesc the Savior.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
Apparently, there are only a few faeries left who still remember her: Ector the Immortal, Grand Duke “Waste Heat” Wryneck, Grímr the Sage, and Totrot, the First Knight...
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|

@Da Vinci
|

...but they still speak of her legend in hushed tones.

So if a savior showed up in this world before, that may mean Faerie Britain has a system for such things...
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
Something akin to the Counter Force that the isle itself[sr]uses to fight back when Britain is in danger.

And if that's true, it would explain why Altria was only born now, in this time.
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|

|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
Plus, we're going up against High Queen freaking Morgan here. Who else BUT King Arthur would fight her?
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?1:...A savior reborn...
|
|||
|
?2:(I wonder if Morgan really is still a bad guy in this Lostbelt...)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?!

@Da Vinci

Anyway, that took longer than I expected, but now that we've gone over everything, I'm gonna make two suggestions.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
First, I think we should continue working with Altria Caster.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
While we don't necessarily have to destroy this Lostbelt, it does seem pretty clear that we'll need to face High Queen Morgan at some point.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
And when we do, having the Child of Prophecy on our side can only work to our advantage.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
And second, I think we should keep our goal, including Chaldea's whole deal, to ourselves.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
It's fine to tell her about Proper Human History. Hell, it'd be impossible to communicate if we didn't.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
But we shouldn't reveal that we've eliminated five other Lostbelts to date.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[charaFace D 24]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
...I know it's not the most honest move, but sometimes, not laying all your cards on the table is the way to go.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
Like I said before, there's something strange about this world, even for a Lostbelt, and there's still way too much we don't know.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
So until we have a much better understanding of what's going on here, I want to keep our goal at stopping Britain from disappearing.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
...Even if we eventually end up having to fight it after saving it.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?1:...Okay. So we can't tell Altria about any of this then?
|
|||
|
?2:So we're going to keep all this from Altria?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
?!
|
|||
|
|
|||

@Da Vinci
|

That's right. I'm sorry, [%1].[sr]I know that won't be easy for you.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
But for what it's worth, my intuition is telling me things aren't going to come to that.
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
I have a feeling we're going to save Britain, stop this collapse from destroying our world...
|
|||
|
[k]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
@Da Vinci
|
|||
|
...and go our separate ways with a smile, without ever having to do battle with Britain.
