>>110153136There's two timelines going on: The Official Aldish State Line, and the actual historical events. King Rortide was a barbarian/ I've seen some people call these people "Rortidians" as an ad-hoc way of describing their ethnicity and culture; Ashley has said these people phenotypically would like like paler Ulestrians/Crescians and barring the affects on their culture made by the the Dhammakert are culturally the predecessors to the present Alds. In any event, shortly after his conquest of Tain, the Gods gave the Alds the Dhammakert. Ssael becomes a man of importance in the new Alderode during the lifetime of Rortide, and receives some form of state patronage. He gets murdered by his grandson, and the curse was cast on him, Ssonum Etalarche, and hence it gets its name.
But in historical fact, we see that
>Salty says that the curse was made by Rortide, which checks out>But says it was cast on Etalarche which would be doubly useless as Souds are not only not affected by the curse but cannot be targeted by it>So perhaps Etalarche was a Bronze?>But then, why did Rortide fear Etalarche? One idea is that the King had Ssael bumped off for the reason that
>>110157007 mentioned and then had Etalarche murdered to cover it up.
>>110156823The Coppers that saw the rise of the Sonorie dynasty are, just now in comic, starting to die (presumably hideous, gruesome) deaths. Imagine if Washington, Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, and men of their generation, were not only still around but were still in politics. They also will continue to be in politics for approximately 40 more years.
>>110153324I still maintain that Tittybird wants the monster there to open a hole in the Khert so she can get out.
