>>5634053>I still don’t know how that quest ends btw.The salt infused into my body from such times has long since lost its flavor, no longer anger nor angst, yet by its notes I can recall the fury of this lost era's keyboards and their songs of self-insert woe.
Actual spoilers:
SM "another-castles" the knight, Donovan Flint, in a process of revealing the true big bad behind the curtains. The fallout has SM giving up the nat 1. That fallout was so extensive you can read about what happened in Shadow Quest in other quests archived in the same month, it's wild.The ending:
It's a soft Sci-fi universe and shadow is a human-origin soul of what's basically a "god of order" isekai'd into their own world in a lesser form (their original being a human transformed into a battleship AI) for surprisingly consistent reasons (lol) after successfully defeating the big bad of chaos that had been destroying the universe prior to their long sleep. During their long sleep, Venia was created from his dreams, and after that he came to be involved in his own created world as Erebus.I haven't reread SQ and I still remember this, so that at least puts it above 4/5ths of quests I've played since in terms of establishing lasting memory.
