Empyreal Lore

You know I'm pretty indifferent about most of the artisans in this game as characters but I'd straight up waterboard Kimo if he were real I hate his fucking guys so much you don't even know. I hate the way he talks the way he acts I hate his flights of fancy and don't even get me started on his questline y'know I might not mind it as much if there was at least a way to pay the dryad instead and be like "I just need him to be humored until he makes me the thing he promised me but I'll make it worth your while until then" instead of either just serenading her yourself (literally having to do his job for him) pressuring her "for the sake of art" or threatening her (which is actually fine especially for an evil option).

Finished Cold Diplomacy (Neutral Evil kingdom alignment quest) and it's... very underwhelming. You get a trade agreement and +2 BP, very little rp and it didn't really feel all that evil just run-of-the-mill political backstabbing. Tbh this was the biggest reason I wanted to make Mina Chaotic Evil because Darker than Black sounds way more interesting and the vault of forbidden knowledge seems a like way cooler reward. Idk I still feel like Neutral Evil was still the right call for her mechanically and rp-wise butt... awaaauuugh. Maybe use bag of tricks to unlock the CE building/quest or something idk. Also managed to get to like rank 6 (or was it 7) with Loyalty and I might be able to squeeze another rank up in but sadly I won't be able to see Shandra's dialogue for the final rank up events before she has to leave which isn't a big deal but I do think it will be fun to see her reaction to me allying with the Aldori.
