    Not that far off what I was expecting, though I was thinking more Audrey and less a hanging tree. I shouldn’t have, because we’ve already seen her make trees of kings, and that fruit…

    It’s the fruit she uses to change ages, isn’t it?

      This is definitely the same kind of tree she turned that other guy into, too

      So she can produce that fruit by other means.

      So, why does she keep this tree alive?

        Because it has an “easily acquired” source of fertilizer? I mean, I doubt the virtuous king who bravely defied the tyrant queen wants young maiden flesh. There’s also the fact that Hastet Om was a Demiurge, which would mean his will and power was strong enough to bring himself back from the dead (in a manner of speaking) to demand sacrifices. The fruit that grows from his branches may be even more potent, then.

      It would seem so. She relies on her husband for eternal youth, but must constantly feed him young virgin blood to ensure that youth. Such is gluttony. Such is GLORY.

          Of all the reasons for violence, glory is the one which most puzzled me as a child, for I knew no way of pinning down of what glory really was, exactly. But it seemed to be the greatest cause of war, for no base vice was ever the rallying cry of an army that I’ve ever heard of.

          Looking back through history, one nation might invade another in act of revenge, but going back further, when did such cycles of invading begin? The answer, it seemed, was always with glory. No one would give me a better answer, but suggested I delay taking action rather than publicly rallying for the end of glory as a justification for military invasion.

          Based on what I currently gather: If glory is what is praised, loved, demanded and honored by the people, then to fight for the glory of something is the fight to make it popular. Therefore, if one seeks to bring about righteousness in a world of the reviled, one should take care to avoid using glorification of righteousness as a guarantee of righteousness, to prevent vileness from hiding beneath a veil of praise.

            I can not tell you what use is glory in this story of gods and immortals. But. In our world. Glory is power. It is to be known. By kings and peasants alike. There is power in that. And then, when you die, so long as people remember your name, its like you still live on. Glory is the closest form of immortality we have.

        I’m not certain I understand what provoked this humble correction, however your statement is technically accurate.

        That is what the liturgy refers to them as, but they are only “daughters of Yis” in the same sense that the Aeons are “White sons of Un”. That is to say, technically yes, but not really.

          No, they were referring to Jesús Fucking Christ. A demon hunter from one of the Earths in Incubus’s domain.

          Few people know, but “Fucking” is a valid middle name in some worlds. Just as one of Jesús’s demon hunting pals, Garcia Fucking Hotspur. That man’s journey through his local version of hell is legendary.

    Ah, so this is the fate of the chosen maidens. This one supposes that of all the fates that could befall a beautiful young maiden this one is perhaps not the worst. This one also wonders, however, what would happen if this gruesome tree-man was not feed his tithe of blood.

        Perhaps it was meant to be this way, her fate may lie elsewhere. Perhaps, even, she is meant to be of some assistance to our beloved Alison. Think: the place she comes from puts great emphasis on being chosen, and it would bode ill for her if she were to suddenly return home, claiming that mysterious stranger had taken her place. She would be an outcast! Unable to return home for threat of persecution, and with little knowledge of the world beyond her borders, what else can she do but seek out that stranger?

    Imagine having the job description of “blood-waterer of the queen’s husband.” Just… draining wife-blood, feeding it to the gaping mouth of the eternal tree-corpse and harvesting his immortality-granting crotch fruit. Imagine going home to your spouse and kids knowing you spend the vast majority of your time literally feeding your boss the /blood of innocent maidens/.

    Ten bucks says those gardeners are all blind, so they don’t have to look at Hastet-Om while they do this.

      Look at the skin tones, and notice that the clothing that they’re wearing entirely conceals their necks. Odds are, they’re the same kind of being as the chattering skeletons we saw in Throne, at a less advanced stage of decay; they slice the throats of the sacrifices, and then the shades of the slain are brought back to inhabit their own corpses.

        See, I like that. That’s nearly as horrific/metal as the original sacrifice process — not only are the dead wives fed to Hastet-Om, their souls are used to reanimate their corpses so they can be more efficiently used to feed more wives to Hastet-Om.

        It’s the Circle… the Circle of Death.

        So, let’s get this sequence of shittiness straight.

        First they are stolen from their homes and families to be handmaidens, then they are hung upside-down and have their blood drained from their slit throat, and finally they have their shade bound to their corpse so that they can do this to the next lot.

        Yeevus, y’unholiness. I know that being ruler of a metric fuckton of worlds alters y’r perspective, but… actually… that’s a pretty good explanation for why this wouldn’t bother her very much. If she considered herself a better alternative than anyone else, it becomes a matter of deciding whether this is a lesser evil. Or, Hells, maybe when you rule so many worlds you just go batshit bananas.

      You forget, brother, that humans have a great capacity to believe what they choose. I am sure that those who are involved in the tending of the Tree of Woe are very sure that what they are doing is Glorious and in some way involves saving the universe by perpetuating Queen Om or balancing fate or some such. It also helps that the families they go home to (assuming they are allowed) are well provided for in return for their service… in status even if they are not allowed money. For me to believe that one of these gardeners has doubts, even when a doubting Maiden struggles or screams, I would have to see it expressed with my own eye.

      If my informations are exact (and I hold them from Preem Tunka Dern, King of Teness), those are the Whores of the Unholy Order of Dim Dawn. They’re a secret order among the many (all-female) orders of Mottom.
      I’ve been told that they were in charge of the maidens, but I surely didn’t know it was for such dark purpose.
      Nadia Om may look pretty, she reeks evil and darkness.

    Is it odd I knew the fruit of youth came from killing the maidens? Or is it weird I didn’t imagined them fed to a tree in such a manner? By his mistresses. Such troubles some go to look young. Was blood not to her taste, or did she feared her husband that much. I presume I know the answer. All rulers are alike, all cowards, and their might their terrible weakness. For true might is taken and shaped only by fools. All rulers clever as they become are aware of the beautiful lie of might, “the weak don’t take from the strong”.

    It is incredible the power fear, hunger and despair can instill on a living thing, to push one to steal a 7th part of the multiverse and not feel remorse for it.

      I think it’s not her husband, but her vanity that she is a slave to. It is grotesque how just a couple pages ago she was complaining that people did not care about her skills but only her looks – and now it is revealed that after stealing one seventh of all the power in the universe she used it to look pretty.
