This is so much fun. I’ve reached the point in my personal story where I get to pick an order to join… but it’s such a tough decision!
Early in this story, I worked with Durmond Priory. I found their magical solution to saving those children appealing, and it went off without a hitch.
Later on, I chose to work with the Order of Whispers, dealing with the pirates. I felt we didn’t have enough information yet, and that the full-on attack recommended by Crusader Hiroki would probably end up burying the necessary information, and I’d done infiltration work against bandits before.
But now we’ve reached the point where we know what’s going on. There’s an undead army on the rampage, and it must be stopped. Scholar Josir wants to focus on protecting the queen with the same device we used to rescue the children. Ihan wants to engage in some sort of subtrefuge, he won’t say what, but at this point, I agree with Hiroki: the time for intelligence gathering is past, and this is a situation that requires a military solution.
But if I choose her plan, that puts me in the Vigil permanently. I was initially thinking I’d join the Priory.
I suppose I’m not really asking for guidance here; I’m joining the Vigil, despite the fact that I, myself, am a clothy (Elementalist). I guess I just wanted to crow over how well done this story is. All the groups have their merits, and the story has lead me down a different path than I’d initially planned.
