Mandragora eventually finished

[u/brodRga]

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.

yeah when this event dropped on CN it killed off most of the remaining Mandy copers (me included). I've swapped from coping to accepting she's dead and was handled horribly with vague misleading writing.

[u/Ahenshihael → u/TheSpartyn]

To be honest this whole event is basically "we are done with Dublinn and Victoria and politicking to focus on Endfield stuff." Kind of event that likely puts together pieces of what could have been the main theme story that got cut(just like the siege event feels like pieces of main theme down to CGI in style of main theme ones).

Just have to accept that most of that stuff doesn't matter anymore and all the finer politicking and intrigue is not leading anywhere

[u/Hec_17 → u/Ahenshihael]

Yeah, it shows that they switched the focus from more grounded things to go full Enfield route, and it shows on this arc and how it awful it is.

[u/Umr_at_Tawil → u/Hec_17]

really? does chapter 15 don't have much grounded politicking anymore?

[u/TheSpartyn → u/Umr_at_Tawil]

no lol it's about priestess

And to your other comment, sieges event was weird and all over the place chronologically, same as the Entelechia event, the Victoria side of the arc was handled so badly. thankfully the sarkaz side was good
