I was looking for a gap that could be mistaken for covering 1/3ish of the continent! I guess Skellum was really exaggerating the situation!Squirlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455795032822945487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665375410624300606.post-58458044148684989492018-05-14T03:48:57.382+02:002018-05-14T03:48:57.382+02:00What I want to know is what the flavor text of Cas...What I want to know is what the flavor text of Cast Down is about. It's not from the novel, which would have been cool, but it refers to Chainer by his secret name, Mazeura. Since Chainer's Torment is a saga in Dominiara (indicating that even in-universe Chainer is a stand alone story from the rest of the Mirari Conjecture!), we can assume this is probably the Cabal's retelling of it.

Since T...I think it stands up on its own very well. Since Torment basically summarizes Odyssey from Chainer's point of view, the reader can actually skip the previous book without missing too much. While the ending does leave Kamahl's fate a mystery for Judgment, Torment is not about Kamahl. It's main character is Chainer and the tragedy of his character begins and ends here. That's the scope of the book and its a self-contained story as a result.

So that's another little neat thing. Though that fight might also have happened in Judgment - but I distinctly remember reading about that guy and thinking "Oh, cool, it's Grim Lavamancer."Whelphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296105145529173123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665375410624300606.post-5215407718486749742018-05-12T18:12:25.154+02:002018-05-12T18:12:25.154+02:00You can see the Aboshan Trench on the northern end...You can see the Aboshan Trench on the northern end of Otaria in the Dominaria map, though it can be seen more clearly in the art for The Mirari Conjecture. It is perhaps not completely consistent with how it's described in the books, but I squeezed it in as best I could.
