Aria of the Dragon-Slayer (SP Campaign for 1.11)

[Saizo-Luz]

Where did Galdra come from? Like, how?

She is the heiress of Vanadya. Just like Svarballi is the heir of Ananke.
Vanadya created her to help watch over the world, but she ended up sleeping for millennia without doing anything at all, simply because she saw no purpose in it. When the last Celestials created by Ananke came after her, she simply slaughtered all of them without a care. She had no purpose, just as Svarballi lost his purpose, she too lost hers.

I don't feel like there was any point to Galdra fighting to the death, like, what? She made them unite their forces in that scenario when the Maat'Karians arrived, the continued attack on Wesnoth and then Weldyn felt pointless, even more so since she knew that they were trying for a third sun to fight back against her. She pushed them past the breaking point instead of easing up, and allowing Wesnoth to ally with the rest of the united forces, avoiding the whole third sun fiasco.

I believe this is part of her hopelessness and the infinite emptiness in her soul; she began to act without caring, trying to teach the lesson of unity in a horrible and violent way, causing immense destruction. She agreed with Svarballi on destroying the world; but she saw beyond it! He believed that destruction would solve all the problems... and she saw that it would change nothing.

And wtf, trapping the Sky Dragon so she could attack Tenma and die, just why. Back off at that point. Backstab the Sky Dragon or something. No need to die.
That part just felt weird to me.

I believe it was her way of saying to him: Oh, shut up!
She was exhausted, purposeless, and just wanted to die. Only Tenma had the power to destroy her and Svarballi, and she wanted to ensure that all the heirs would go down together. So, she imprisoned Svarballi and the three dragons to eliminate the risk of her surviving. It was likely that Tenma would die in the process, and no one would be able to kill her - leaving her to continue living a life of hopelessness and meaninglessness. Apparently, she was unaware of the existence of Akashia's sword; and I doubt anyone would have had the courage to stab her after everything - so she would have to kill herself.

At least... that’s what can be interpreted from this story!

Thank you for this interpretation, it helps.

Good Morning!

So far played 45 scenarios and really enjoying the campaign, I only found a small issue in the Spear of Irdya scenario where I instantly achieve victory after the dialogue, and pass directly to scenario 47 Sky Chase. I tried to modify the .cfg file but I cant find the win condition issue without crashing the file. Is there a way I can make the escenario playable, if not I will skip it but I really want to fight Svarballi and his celestials

Thanks for everything & regards!

Maybe this can help...
Open the scenario file: Aria_of_the_Dragon_Slayer/scenarios/46_The_Spear_Of_Irdya.cfg
And put this at the beginning; it can be right below the turns.

Code: Select all

victory_when_enemies_defeated=no

Maybe it'll fix! If it doesn't fix... it's something else.

I'm not the author nor the one who does the maintenance... so...

Now it works! Thanks a lot

Cheers!

There is something very important!

SVARBALLI SHOULD NOT MOVE!

If he is moving, report here. He will only move in the last scenario and in the Sky Chase.
