The worst characters are the ones were you only get like three pieces of lore about them but the lore is so fascinating and hits your brain at just the right angle to have you behaving like a feral dog in front of your conspiracy theory cork board

Would you like to help us wrap rice dumplings?
"Would you like to help us wrap rice dumplings? Qiqi will teach you... First, fold a corner, and then— And then... What was it again..."
"Like this."
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I'll just help to wrap a few more."
Also? 'Green' does not mean 'ecologically sound'. A golf course is, in ecological terms, a parking lot that's painted green. It's obsessively curated turf grass maintained with toxic chemicals. Wildlife is not allowed.

ive been (slowly) chipping away at priory and
spoilers
got to the part with the first wyrm attack and I love the fact that sabran counts on her saint to save her while ead is the one who actually does
also, I had to
LMAO yeah sabran is just, "the saint has saved me I am truly blessed!" meanwhile ead is just sweating her ass off behind a pillar questioning why the hell she's been assigned to protect a woman who runs in front of a dragon like that 😭
also yeah that's ead for so much of the book she needs those magic oranges BAD
Sabran: WHOEVER CAUSED THIS MESS IS GOING TO-
Ead: It was me...
Sabran: ... Is going to be forgiven because everyone deserves a second chance.
My own personal take is that Neporo might have failed to defend the Mulberry Tree and in so, cause the Nameless One birth.
We know the Trees are a way for Siden to channel out of the womb of fire, like magical chimneys. If a Tree is destroyed, the Siden/fire is stuck down there and twists until it's not just life-giving, but only a destroying all-consuming force.
The Mulberry Tree is destroyed: the nameless one is born
The Hawthorn Tree is destroyed: the high westerns are born
And there is that tantalizing tidbit from ADOFN about a place beyond the Horthi ice desert, way way up north, where it's warm??? and my brain went there's... there's another Tree. there's got to be another Tree right?
And also, we know the moon was blue for two years around the birth of the nameless one but reverted to its standard aspect (the fact we will have to wait for several years to get answers is criminal). One jewel resembles the moon, and the other is blue. I don't know what that means but I've connected the dots.
both characters in the books and readers of it have this view of the different places in the roots of chaos world that i find to be really black and white and also not accurate
characters like ead, tunuva and esbar (at least in the beginning and sometimes even at the end) as well as some readers view virtudom as bad and the rest of the world as good, and the priory as the best place to live in, but it's more complex than that
the problem of being forced to marry and have children that we see with both sabran ix and glorian can also be seen with dumai, who is not from virtudom but rather from seiiki. everything that the berethnets are forced to go through also happens to every royal in the world, no matter what country they're from. to quote glorian in chapter 95: "She saw the cruel truth of it now. The relentless, violent circle of monarchy."
yes, virtudom is bad, but it's not the only place that has these issues
and the priory is far from perfect. in tpotot they kidnap and drug loth, refusing to ever have him leave just because he found out about them
and in adofn siyu's treatment by the priory is horrendous, and she never received so much as an apology for all that she was forced to endure as a teenager. i've made several posts about that already, which you can find in my siyu tag, and i will forever be angry about how she was treated
(also, sidenote, the priory prides itself in knowing the truth about galian while virtudom believes a lie but even they don't know the whole truth about him, cleolind, neporo and kalyba)
the priory needs some serious reform, just like virtudom and the rest of the world does

no you don’t get it. tané is literally so brave and strong and proud and loyal and hard-working, all to her own detriment. her and susa’s relationship was born from and ended in tragedy. she loves so deeply and she always ends up getting hurt because of it. she’s an outcast who fought her way to the top. she fulfilled her ambitions, got everything she had ever dreamt of, only to end up losing everything. she was both destined for greatness and chose and shaped her own destiny. she’s so strong and good and flawed and so, so human and I am so, so, so normal about her
