Cleric killed 5 Wracu, Kellhus needs to top that.

Also, I wanna know how Nau'Cayuti took down a Wracu.

I want to know how any non-sorcerer takes down a Wracu...

Van Zan in Reign of Fire anyone?

Aside, I really dislike how this whole McConaissance implied that he never did anything good before now...

Any ideas on if the Consult have the ability to produce more dragons?  I had kind of assumed that they were like the nonmen, fixed number ever dwindling, but I don't know.

Kellhus secret weapon against dragons: he has taught the anagogics a few new tricks like how to create more than just dragon heads...

I bet NC took down the dragon like Legolas did to that Oliphant in Return of the King movie.

@ Madness - I liked Reign of Fire too.  Don't know why it isn't more liked.

Well, if they rediscovered how to construct more Wracu, I do see how they lose.

How the Great Ordeal loses?  Or is it like the dragons rebel against the Consult?  Wutteat + corruptions in the Tekne make dragons unmanageable and disconnected from the No-God's will/Consult's purpose?

Prediction, Akka and Mimara find Seswatha himself in the bowels of Ishual.  Through sorcerous means, he has lived for 2000 years without his heart in the part of Ishual where no light is allowed.  There he directs the Dunyain breeding program without the Dunyain's knowledge.  For example, every Spring, the Dunyain dump the new crop of candidates in the maze, one month later a few survivors straggle out.

OR! Seswatha is in suspended animation.  Through a series of hijinks, Akka gets the heart and crams it in the old sorcerer's chest.  Seswatha reawakens just as Mog is reborn!!!

EDIT: Maybe we'll see Seswatha return like the shade of Gin'yursis???  Possess Akka!

lmao

btw, reign of fire, although it was entertaning, was simply just a bad movie. Accept it :D

Lol - we must have different standards. Those actors all did amazing in Reign of Fire :P. Next you're going to tell me you don't like Equilibrium...

I liked RoF and Equilibrium. The latter was a higher quality movie, imo, but I don't know if I'd say either was really great. Depends on what concepts are being judged though.

Also, way off topic ;)

Reign of Fire went real bad in the second act.  Jumped the shark badly for me with the standard bug hunt movie conclusion (i.e. destroy the single male dragon - wtf... how convenient and utterly stupid).

Agreed but I still think the actors involved make a great attempt at a poor script. It's like Perlman. You either use him or you don't but I'm sure he has below average shitty performances.

Akka or Kellhus (as the something of Esmenet the second) repeat Angeshrael's action and kneel their face into the Inverse Fire.

Lol Thank you for bringing back memories of Reign of Fire, Madness.  That gloriously pulp film.  What's the name of that Nilnameshi Prince?  The Scion of a Thousand Songs or some such, the Warrior-Poet. If he didn't die at Irsulor,  I can imagine him going out like Van Zan against a Wracu.  Such a glorious death would be worthy of an epic ballad.  "Do it for the ballad." has presumably been the Medieval equivalent of "Do it for the vine."
