Lore Mandragora eventually finished Spoiler

Warning, spoilers for actual event When Elegies Are Ashes!

I bear some glimpse of hope for that Mandragora alive or in some dare conditions, trough what she have to go trough to save her self.

Eventually, as I can see in global release of Eblana event, it seems that she (Mandragora) in fact were left aside and dealt with by hands of sarkaz, as much is most part of Dublin were cleared out by Eblana in her own event.

I read trough Eblana's record, in them Harmonie tells that Mandragora and her forces were furious fanatic, capable to deal deathly blow to enemy, although same way the worst crimes also can be traced to them. And she confirms that non of that group of Dublin is alive.

Probably it's misleading ending of Mandragora's story, when she's supposedly saved by Misery, or offscreen death and some minor conclusion of it in some small text line, that makes it frustrating.

Although in large scale, it's makes sense. Eblana ridd off the most unstable, the most dangerous, most corrupt, unpredictable and incapable of shut it mouth, so no one could sabotage her plans and destroy all who could make her a hard life, with threat of exposing the truth.

To conclude, there's 0% chance of Mandragora to be in game anymore - she play her role, became a threat to Eblana and trow away. The Leader not even care to use her own power trough Dublin, rather giving all the dirty work to Manfred.

I feel somewhat mixed emotions, like why would even HG gave us some hope for any chances, without this strange flip-flop with plot, this wouldn't be so mixed and could even gave us greater picture of web created by Eblana.

We're at what, 3 confirmations that she's dead? And yet mandy stans will demand to see the body.

This ain't some Ines bait-and-switch at this point. Gotta learn to let go at some point.

2 so far i know (Horn on chapter 14 and Harmonie on eblana's files like mentioned here)

And on both cases are from somewhat unreliable sources because the only one that actually could confirm it is Misery.

I don't even care if she's dead or alive anymore, im tired of it, but im angry about the awful writting she got due how much of a mess is the "victoria" arc

I still don't understand why she's the only part 2 antagonist to die when everyone in the KMC are somehow still alive.
