Age of umbra has everything, dark atmosphere, high risk of death, and puppet shows with Mr Beaks

Loving this philosophical concept between Alphonse and Caguama. Caguama wants to cure/heal the Umbra and bring back the light and life seen in the old world, and approached fighting the Tatcha as means to bring back some of that light by healing the creature. Alphonse though, sees the result of the old world falling after the gods abandoned it and doesn't see anything worth trying to salvage, since it was the choices of the old world that led to that. He sees the corrupted beings of the Umbra as lost forever and thusly in need of being destroyed to protect those still left. They both want to do best by the Enduring living in the Halcyon Domain, but fundamentally disagree on what the best way to do that is

[id: art of aranessa royce, drawn in a frame against a background of branches and leaves. she wears a green dress with green sleeves and gold beaded strands around her biceps. her hands are raised, with golden light and butterflies swirling around them, and she looks in the other direction with her eyes closed. end id.]

[ID: fanart of Thaisha from Critical role. the art is monochrome, drawn only in shades of blue, and shows Thaisha glaring forward in heavy shadow. she's backlit by a bolt of lightning that flashes down directly behind her, and her eyes glow bright white. text above, in the same white as her eyes and the lightning strike, reads, "now, go. in. peace." END ID]

[ID: fanart of Cerrit, from critical role Calmaity. he stands silhouetted in a doorway, flames rising up behind him and casting a rectangle of light onto the floor of an otherwise pitch black space. small outlined sketches of his children, Kir and Maya, sit on the floor in the light, talking to each other. text next to the doorway reads, "here in this moment, you put all of your vast intellect to work so that as the flames begin to lick the wall behind you, you solve the mystery of who your children were." END ID]

[ID: fanart of Hero, Alogar, and Shadia, standing together. Hero is wearing a blue school uniform, with a thick glove on one hand and a few books held in her hands, and she's pushing her hair out of her face. Alogar is wearing chainmail armor and bracers, and looks forward with his arms crossed. Shadia is wearing harlequin patterned performing clothes, with a sword strapped to her side as she looks off to the side with a smile. END ID]
