I dont really understand why the other Shards seemed to view Honor and Cultivation as problems in the same breadth as Odium.

In WAT, Taravangian notes that the other Shards seem to consider all 3 of the Rosharan Shards to be problems. And thats maybe part of why they don't act.

I dont really get that. Like yes they violated the agreement the Shards made about staying out of each others way, but Honor and Cultivation havent killed 3 other Shards. And they arent even the only ones to violate that agreement, Autonomy, Ruin, Preservation, Dominion, Devotion, Ambition and Mercy have all apparently broken that agreement in some form.

And most importantly they don't embody the concept of Hatred removed of any context.

tl;dr Why do the other Shards consider all 3 of the Rosharan Shards problems?

Maybe Im missing something here, but why exactly did the other Shards not step in or do anything after Rayse had killed 3 of their number?

Rayse was going to come for each of them eventually and had successfully killed 3 of their number. I feel like that should have set off more alarms among the remaining Shards than it apparently did.

Even if they wanted Dominion, Devotion and Ambition gone, Rayse's success at killing other vessels is a sign that hes pretty dangerous at Shard on Shard combat.

Maybe Im messing up the timeline but I dont really understand how Mortys can be 'bred for forgiveness' by the Citadel when Morty's existence (or at least the Jerry Beth pairing) predates the Citadel.

Jerry and Beth got together when they were both in highschool. Memory Rick from when he was fighting the Galactic Federation with Bird Person hadnt yet created the Citadel but he was aware of the trend of 'Ricks moving back in with abandoned adult Beths'.

And we see in Rick's crybaby backstory when hes still hunting Rick Prime before creating the Citadel a variant of Morty already existed. So Morty was already a thing at least in some universes.

There are multiple other gods still active in 40k. The C'Tan, Cegorach, Isha, Khaine, Gork and Mork etc. But why arent they actively interfering to the same extent as the Chaos gods or even the Emperor?

Is Valint and Balk truly finished?

In Red Country, Valint and Balk was seemingly starting to expand outside the Union. Would branches outside the Union be affected by the events in the Union? Could they survive be rebranding to something else?

I ask because Bayaz seems remarkably calm for someone whos lost control of his centuries long project in the Union (and his more recent acquisition in the North). So I was wondering if he still retains the bank in some capacity.

Of the Order factions (Lizardmen, High Elves, Dwarves, Empire, Bretonnia, Cathay, Kislev etc) which of them is the most 'evil'?

And which order LL is the most evil?

Lets say pre-End Times.

So the Warp is a place where time doesnt really work normally. Its even possible to travel back in time via the Warp (pretty sure some Orks did it). Once a Chaos god like Slaanesh is born, they always exist. So is the same true for Daemons? Specifically Daemon Princes who are former mortals.

Could a Daemon Prince manifest in realspace before his past self has ascended and corrupt/ensure that his past self does ascend?

And could a Daemon Prince kill his past mortal self? Like say Mortarion really desperately wants to be free of Nurgle so he kills himself before he ascends to Daemonhood.

Is it a Holy Trinity type deal where the 4 Ruinous Powers are one greater entity with distinct aspects, or is it just 4 brothers working together?

So if someone is praying to Chaos Undivided are they praying to some greater whole/composite Entity of Chaos or simply the 4 Ruinous Powers simultaneously?

And Daemons are extensions of the Chaos gods correct? So for Undivided Daemons like Vashtorr and Be'lakor are they extensions of Chaos as a whole or just equal parts of the 4?

I know Typhus claims to be Papa Nurgle's favourite between him and Mortarion. And Typhus does seem able to tell Mortarion to get lost whenever Mortarion tries to give him orders.

Is that true for the other gods and their champions? Does Slaanesh prefer Lucius to Fulgrim? Is Kharn Khorne's favourite? Does Ahriman enjoy more favour than Magnus?

Mechanically its hard to say which endgame crisis looks the strongest. Although that 100% ward save Archaon army looks nasty.

But in terms of the lore, which is the most dangerous? Archaon is most likely number 1 right? But whos 2 and 3 out of Nagash and the Vermintide?

And who is the most evil out of Skreech, Nagash and Archaon?

In the show, they cut out 10 years and aged down Aegon III and Viserys II. Along with minimizing their already quite small role in the story to like 2 scenes. Condal's reasoning was season 1 covered a lot of time and he couldnt afford an extra 10 years for the characters.

For the latter act of the Dance, one of the points of importance is actually Aegon III's status as a cognizant witness. In a relatively short space of time, he experiences a lot of trauma. And hes old enough to remember most of it.

• Hes forced to abandon his brother Viserys and flee on Stormcloud, his dragon dying under him.

• He loses his older half brothers one by one. And his father as well.

• Hes forced to flee alongside Rhaenyra, becoming her 'pale shadow' as witness to her downfall.

• Most importantly, hes there to witness her being devoured by a dragon.

All this happens when Aegon III is 8-10 years old. And it haunts him for the rest of his life. In fact it pretty much defines him and his reign.

In the show, Aegon III is maybe 4? And hes absent from most of the show. The stuff with Viserys at least isnt happening as Stormcloud is too small. Even Rhaenyra's death which he may well still be witness for wont have the same impact as hes still very young and hasnt actually spent much time with his mother.

Like if he was transported to the DC universe, who would he see as his rival there? Someone who he wants to prove hes smarter than but never quite can?

Lex Luthor, Batman, Mr Terrific?

Like say Wolverine wants to play dead, can he consciously slow down/stop his healing factor?

Or even if they wanted to die permanently, could they choose not to heal?

How much support did the public have for the Sentinels?

I feel like even if I was someone in universe who hated Mutants, 20 foot killer robots with AI that can potentially become self-aware and turn on humans seems like overkill.

They also dont seem very effective against the more powerful Mutants like the Xmen and Magneto.

Grimnir in the World That Was was very opposed to Chaos. He basically spent most of his existence fighting at the Polar Gates against it and the Slayer Cult.

But things have changed somewhat. Grimnir of Age of Sigmar might not have been the same guy as he was in the Old World. And hes currently deceased (sort of).

So in regards to the Fyreslayers who occasionally work with Chaos, what would Grimnir's opinion be?

So Maynard Plumm is almost certainly Bloodraven in disguise:

>Duncan: We'd all be bastard sons of old King Aegon if half these tales were true. >Maynard: And who's to say we're not?

But my question is: why would Bloodraven attend Whitewalls in person even in disguise? It seems unnecessarily risky. Especially as Bloodraven seemed to suspect/know about treason before he even arrived at Whitewalls. Possibly even recognizing Daemon II Blackfyre/John the Fiddler as he likely knew him as a child.

When a Daemon dies they usually just return to the Warp/Realms of Chaos to reform. And its usually not even their whole 'self' that manifests in the materium/world.

But is there a way to permanently kill them?

I presume Dr Doom has already died (its comics) but he must also be aware there is a possibility he will die permanently. From old age if nothing else.

So what is his plans for Latveria.
