#cr speculation

(Keep in mind, im not necessarily saying that these are most likely to happen. Im saying that IF they romance/hook up, X character would be the most likely)

Demodus/Julien: I know Demodus flirted with Azune but he didn't seem all that interested. Maybe he was though. Azune was busy. Anyways, I would say Julien is pretty similar to Azune, physical type wise. Pretty male knight with facial hair and long hair.

Aranessa/Kattigan: They can connect over having dead spouses.

Amry/Bolaire: Amry likes incredibly interesting people. Maybe it is also a bonus when they are smart which Bolaire is. I doubt the chances of her and Occtis will recover.

Thjazi/Gaya: I genuinely think they can bond over being dead and their hatred over the Sundered Houses. I have more thoughts about it here.

Azune/Gus: Gus was formerly in love with a knight and Azune has the vibes. I also vaguely remember Luis saying something horny about him. Regardless I know the first point dosen't preclude Julien but Azune already has a history with Gus.

Varen/Azune: They can be mentally ill together.

Temelow/Halandil: We don't know much about Temelow but I think she is Hal's type. Surgar mommy, red hair, deer esthetic.

Elodie/Halandil: The exes get back together at least for a night.

Shadia/Wicander: Shadia was interested in Occtis but Occtis will be gone soon. The other noble twink in town is Wicander.

Hero/Tyranny Occtis: I feel like Hero want somebody to push around and I feel like Occtis would let her. Thinking about it some more, since Tyranny is in town I feel like Tyranny is slightly more likely. I don't think she would mind getting pushed around either. I just remembered when Tyranny liked getting yelled at by Wic earlier in the campaign.

Petra&Ryah/Wicander: They are interested in Wicander.

If Vaelus wants to go to the Mournvale after dealing with House Tachonis in Houndsport I feel like some might want to go with her so she doesn't leave them permanently. There could be stategic benefits to it too. For one, making alliance with the Mournvale would be good. And two, finding out exactly where the Sea Door is and what is up with it would be possible even if they don't go through it. I feel like the Sea Door could be on the way to the Mournvale.

This is what I imagine the teams could be like:

Team Mournvale:

Vaelus

Kattigan

Alogar

Travis PC

Vaelus has been covered.

Kattigan dosen't really have anything to do with the Golden Orchard other than Aranessa being the widow of his war buddy. I feel like one of his motivations right now is subverting House Tachonis and finding out what is up with the Sea Door would be a step in that.

I feel like Alogar will be a guest PC to temporarily replace Thaisha. Alogar would probably have similar motivations to Kattigan since what he saw and did in Tannesar. He is also an expert in barrowdells and my suspicion is that the Mournvale is located inside the Wastes.

Not much to go on for Travis' PC other than he would equalize the teams.

Team Golden Orchard:

Julien

Thimble

Occtis

Bolaire

Julien has to rescue his sister and I'm sure he wants to meet with Aranessa again. He did also mention making alliance with Faerie and the Golden Orchard is the best place to find out if that is possible

Thimble wants to find Aranessa and to check on the Golden Orchard.

I don't see Occtis seperateing from Thimble just yet. He might also have some insight in helping Alba if the cure for her requires a little more than just remove curse being very intelligent.

Taking Bolaire to the Mournvale might be a bad idea considering how pro-god they possibly are. On a related note, the fey might be appreciative of him if the Sylandri did something to the King of Faerie like how Trozhna killed Tehana. Bolaire might be able to help with Alba with how charismatic he is and that his magic is already crystal related. I also feel like him and Julien need an arc together considering that Bolaire seems to be the main pc who had the most pre-campaign connections with him.

It's probably good that he just left the city and he won't be a schemer. Kattigan loves the wilds more anyways and it would be easier to aquire alcohol in the city. Also, the Schemers tend to retire by themselves every night.

I suspect Thimble and Julien are going to be good for him. They are both vets and probably have experience with helping others deal with it. Thimble might have less experience with it but she is wiser than Julien and already has a little bit of built up connection with Kattigan.

For one, if Bolaire could get any powers automatically from a host I think it could only be sorcerers that are powerful enough. (not saying that he would get all of the sorcerer's powers) Sorcerer's magic comes from their blood and it being physical in that way should mean that Bolaire can access it to at least a limited degree. And Tachonises and especially and especially a Primus offspring should be powerful enough for the magic to leach through to Bolaire.

The other reason is that I think it could be a way to get one on their side. If they can trap one for long enough they could convince them that siding with Primus is wrong or at least isn't very smart considering how many of them are dying. Maybe they could force their hand too if Bolaire pretends to be them in a way that would piss House Tachonis off against the possesse.

If an Occtis sibling gets converted, I also think Occtis would really enjoy having a sibling on his side.

Bolaire's situation with his hosts is very authoritarian. He steals their lives, imprisons them so he can live his and Thjazi spent his entire life fighting authoritarianism and trying to people from the afterlives who did not want to be there.

On the other hand Bolaire did help kill the gods and Thjazi probably appreciated that.

I do also wonder if Thjazi made a connection between Bolaire and his people. Bolaire was made to wear people and sure maybe at the start, the hosts of the Panto were willing but eventually he had to start wearing unwilling people. That's similar to the orc's experience under Azgra. They were forced by Azgra to oppress themselves and others too.

Did Thjazi sympathize with Bolaire? I think maybe he did. I think he didn't want to though. Not doing so would make it easier to keep abusing him.

These were on Beacon's instastory with no other context.
