Kui?

Aranessa surmises this in 4x13 about House Royce! At around 2 hours 42 minutes:

Golden Orchard was given to us, as a home for our family. And if our family was gone, I do not know that it would yet stand. I do not know-- When I think of Faerie, I think of our home. It is the last piece of it left at the very doorstep of this world. If me and my cousins died, maybe the last thread connecting Faerie to Aramán would vanish.

It has not been confirmed as true, but it is definitely a thing that's come up as a possibility. I personally think if the doors to Faerie are reopened, that might not be the case since it is true that Faerie existed before House Royce, but I think if Royce is destroyed while Faerie is also closed off it would sever the tie.

I wonder about the Tenebral Reaches because it's kind of unclear when they came into being, why, and how, and when House Tachonis developed their powers. I go back and forth on whether I think House Tachonis was raised to power by Tansul explicitly; or if they existed beforehand but willingly served. Given that of the houses of the Obridimian Empire, only the two priestly houses remain of those who aligned with Tansul, it's hard to tell - the vibe is that Halovar would not have retained power, and Tachonis does. Anyway, getting back to that I think the Tenebral Reaches are much more abstract a realm - it is not a door, but a veil, and it grows thin in many places, whereas Faerie has a specific entrance, it seems. And the bridges are designed to bypass the Reaches so there's alternate afterlife paths anyway. I think it might be unwise to kill all the sorcerers of Tachonis before the old afterlives are bridged since I think those only connect to the Tenebral Reaches and not Araman directly, but I also think the Tenebral Reaches is more firmly connected to the material plane and will probably stick around no matter who dies.

”Special” families and bloodlines are a fantasy stable as is monarchy. And I quite like it that way. But I am interested in the way the campaign highlights the problems in these systems. The aim seems to be remove the Sundered Houses from power but I wonder what that would mean. If they are stripped of their political power but they still have power in the metaphysical level how will that work?

There’s still so much we don’t know about Araman. We don’t even know (I think, correct me if I’m wrong) how the Revolutionary Council is formed or even how large an area it governs. Are there elections? Who gets to vote? If you get rid of every Tachonis, who inherits their holdings etc.?
