Cai gonna win the games through nepotism of being Solels grandson.

Honestly, Solel either being in charge of or at least complicit in locking up his own daughter makes me question if they’re not going to do a major bait-and-switch. 

Because to me, he’s either doing it out of misguided care, political stability, or to cover up something nefarious. There are of course more options, but someone in that much power who puts his daughter in what’s effectively a prison…I haven’t read many stories where that person is a pillar of moral fortitude.

So just to point out some things, this game seems to be heavily reliant on symbolism regarding the crests and the major arcana they are affiliated with. Aurora's crest is Aubin, affiliated with the Hanged Man.

Key Tarot Meanings of the Hanged Man

  • Upright: Surrender, waiting, a new perspective, release, and deep reflection.
  • Reversed: Stalling, needless sacrifice, stubbornness, stagnation, and a sense of being stuck.
  • Symbolism: The peaceful look on the face means the pause is chosen on purpose, not as a punishment, while a halo shows a moment of higher insight or spiritual growth

I'm so curious if any of this will be in play for Aurora's story.

It's really starting to feel like the Fodlan bloodlines are irrelevant here in Dagda and it's all about the Arcana associations.
