Part 79: Persons of Disinterest: The Emperor, his Generals, and Dyluck

I took far longer than I should have to get these out but the real world has been hectic. At least I finished the actual LP before vanishing this time.

Now for the final Persons of Disisnterest



This is Emperor Vandole He has less of a presence than any of his generals. He shows up once, then gets killed standing up offscreen by one of said generals on order or another. Speaking of...



Fahna not to be confused with Phanna, is another general of the empire. She kills the emperor because her lover(?) Thanatos said to.

You fight her as Hexas



Anyways, speaking of Thanatos



He was actually an ancient malovolent Lich occupying the body of a living host, but his body is running out of time. That's why he captured Dyluck. You know, this guy



It was because Dyluck was of the same demonic bloodline as Thanatos and the general, but raised in the light of Mana, making him a perfect vessel for Thanatos. However, at the very end, Dyluck resisted, and killed himself before he could be permanently possessed. This made Thanatos desperate, and he turned into the Dark Lich to try and kill the party.



And yes, that does leave the final final boss unmentioned, but that's deliberate.

Anyways, that finally properly finishes out my LP. I'm probably gonna do the remake, but I'm gonna do it as its own thing, so thanks to everyone who saw me through from start to finish and everyone who joined in along the way.
