Ayn is a hardass. Is this her first fluff appearance? Killed her nwould be assassin herself, and can command the Butcher. Contrast with queen of LLael. Sidenote, Butcher IMHO would be an easy soul to mark - he wants Lola, nothing else metters to him, and Infernals can give her/it to him, or appear to, right? In the butcher novel, he gets confused and sees Ayn as Lola. I think that is the reason why can command him the way she does.

My guess on the Hexeris/ goreshade story: Goreshade makes bargain to restore gods Hexeris makes bargain (in secret) to grant the skorne more power, possibly magic. So the alliance falls apart and we start seeing soulless skorne instead of elves. I don't think either of them is going to bargain, especially Goreshade really hates the Infernals. It appears that Agathon is at their mercy, so, if it were possible, they could simply force him to do so, rather than bargain. I doubt restoring the gods is possible though, they're basically at the same level of being as the Infernals are and it's most likely they were simply consumed when the Infernals waylayed them. The way Agathon freaked out about the prospect of being brought to Scyrah, I think Scyrah could finger bang all the elf gods back into existence. At first I thought the fear was coming from Scyrah the way the narration was structure (which was probably intentional). Then when I realized it was Agathon who was afraid to meet a dying goddess I also realized that Agathon had the fear...the finger bang fear.

I am a little disappointed that Everblight hasn't shown up to dine. There are a lot of bodies for manufacturing soulless warbeasts gathered in one place and it seems infernals really don't like soulless creatures.

Everblight has like zero incentive to expose himself to this unknown threat. He very nearly got killed in Wrath of the Dragonfather. He’s almost certainly in hiding, scheming and trying to figure out how this invasion can lead to him being the last dragon in existence.

I'm the only one thinking that after all these deaths and changes of loyalities the pieces of lore we are reading are basically the end of WarmaHordes?
I have the idea that the people gone inside the portal to the Cyriss space will be intended to be the founders of what in future will be the Warcaster lore, while the survivors on Caen will be the ones living in the post-apocalittic setting of Riot Quest.
Is it like that?

Is it like that? I'm almost sure I've read somewhere that Riot Quest shows a timeline in which the infernals won, so it really depends on how the henge brawl is going to end. The way it's written I'm expecting some sort of bittersweet ending with a significant (named character) death count, but who knows? anyone feel like any of the deaths so far have been surprising?

Finally, some Legion lore. I think we're better off.

Is it like that? It’s more likely they are, while not wiping the slate completely clean, significantly decluttering it so they can tell the next chapter of Warmachine’s story.

Is it like that? While the characters heading through the gate are certainly going to be the foundation of Warcaster, we've seen a fair bit that seems more like it's laying the foundation for a post-Oblivion world. Remember, we have three new waves of Warmachine releases on the horizon, all of them very much centered on interactions with Infernals and Archons not yet witnessed in the story, and the devs have been talking about a new campaign using the Oblivion rules that should be available as a free download at some point this year. That all suggests to me that there are still plans in place for more Warmachine story.

That “to be continued”... what a cliffhanger

There is one more piece after this. Its about Caine and they keep trolling about this "i've heard that Caine" sentence.
Riot Quest specifies that it is an alternative timeline. So it would not be the real outcome. I think they can take it easy and keep this invasion for another year or two. Then they can actually do a ton of interesting story lines after this while keeping the faction identeties inract enough to keep the game just about as it is. PP also said thst Warmachine is going nowhere. So worst is that they take that literally and there wont be much coming out for Warmahordes other than RQ models. And that is also okay since there is already way to much stuff in this system.

Perhaps what is meant by “not going anywhere” is “not going away”

Finally, some Legion lore. I think we're better off. So confusing... Saeryn goes to the portal, something happens to her, and only her Athanc shard and some viscera remain... She is drawn to the portal and states that Thag will be drawn to it as well, and for the same reason, but we do not know why... Rhyas may be free from her sister now, or this could be the first time in known fluff that she uses the Twins feat and brings her sister back... Or Saeryn may return as one of the Archons, seeing as that already happened to Stryker... What is the Legions reason to get involved here? Some of its warlocks are drawn to the portal, so Everblight needs to reconsolidate himself to mitigate any losses? IMHO, this does not look promising to Legion at all. We will see.
