well NO FUCKING WONDER Correndel sucks ass if this is the quality of his priests
… The elves best at arranging things are an overgrown child-species. Egad.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Considering everything we’ve seen about Keilia and the previous elves we saw so far.
Also I’d say that they are the ones in a position to arrange things, not the best at doing so. Obviously.
Iirc, Yunn mentioned high elves are supposed to be good at organizing.
As much as I love the comedic value of Yunn’s deadpan stare in the last panel and “how terrible” the high elves are… with the world lore we have, I can see another way this “terrible” situation could have come about. This was a random direction my mind went, but it felt fun so I’m writing it here 🙂
We’ve had several references to the world “extrapolating” content: Kaylin’s written bio becomes actual world backstory with existing characters and settings, Humanity’s perspectives on gender relations being influenced by prior in-game iconography (whereas monsters not being so affected), etc. It’s not uncommon in game settings for various god worship to be heavily focused on asking for things, especially when religious settings/temples/infrastructure are used for player empowerment. I could easily see a high elf town in the game having been used for some kind of sun/light based priest or magic class, with lots of iconography and settings revolving around players and support NPCs basically begging for favor, possibly in exchange for quests. And when Ellisia ‘extrapolated’ the world into extra detail, it could easily have turned into just needy high elves 😀
It doesnt excuse their current selves, but if they had history of this WORKING then they’d keep doing it. I dunno, feels like a fun way to look at things – looking for more signs of how everything shifted.
“Are you implying Correndel is a poor communicator?”
“No, I’m saying he is a horrible communicator.”
And then we find out the high elves version of prayer and serving their god is more like a bunch of kids nagging their parent. No wonder Correndel feels so annoyed dealing with them.
I know Lyrestra hates, or at the very least justifiably is very angry at Correndel, but I feel like he *really* could use some damn help and guidance upstairs in doing his job and managing his followers if she is willing to give it.
