Hello everyone, this marks the end of book 2. There will be a week "break" - next Friday will only be the answers to character Q&A. At least on RoyalRoad. Patreon is not taking that break - they get chapters! That's right, next week Patreon will be two weeks ahead.
If you're not part of the Discord (and you really should be!), I've added a nice picture of One-Eye-Green and a picture of Uilei-nktik by the same artist as the One-Eye-Green one is forthcoming! I've also included a map of the Caldera and of Orn in general.

As with Book One, I'm running a character Q&A here where you can ask characters anything you like. As well I'm considering elaborating on the following topics, please post your thoughts along with questions.
1) Gods. I've gone over it in the Discord, but I can't think of any place in the actual story it'd come up.
2) Ansae's moon. I have a story for it, but maybe it would be better to remain mysterious. Many things are better that way.
3) The rest of the world. Honestly we haven't seen much so far but there are other continents, some with distinctly nonhuman populations. Again, not likely to come up in the story unless it needs to.
4) Any other world-level details that aren't likely to come up that aren't immediately plot-relevent?

Question for Ansae: How would you feel if some random drunk person has a dumb idea on how to make a new mana type, executes said idea and then it works.
Question for Ansae, what does Blue's caldera mean for dragon-kind? That is to say, in regards to the previously unobtainable affinities of offspring such as metal.
Question for all, what plans do you have to group craft a solution to Blues damaged cores? Something to regain the levels and health and protect them? Mana lattice plus extra?
When are the babies due Taelylah?
Ansae what plan do you have to fix Blues mana so he can purify you?
Will Taelyhpahs magic reclaim the waste?
Question for blue
Now that you have realised Shayma will live as long as you are you considering making your other companions dungeon spirits as well?
Question for blue: Do you want a Chiuxatli waifu... I a mean companion.
Now that we have like a full picture of Orn+Caldera I wouldn't mind seeing a close-up for Tarnil. Just seeing everything laid out would be appreciated.
Question for both Blue and Ansae:
Due to Blue creating and ruling over the Celestial element, combined with the existence of Celestial pools, and the paired dragons in the Caldera: are you two looking forward to the potential birth of a Celestial dragon, the first of it's kind?
Also a question for blue:
So blue what kind of knowledge do you have of earth or science in general because as of now it seems that you have expert level knowledge of just atomic science and few others
Question for Blue: Are you older than Ansae? Given that you are a gestalt intelligence (or fragment thereof) I believe it is reasonable to assume that you would have lived several lives.
Given that author-san has so helpfully given me the guesstimate of hundreds to possibly thousands of fragments, so long as there is no mass extinction event like that of around 70,000 B.C. (totally didn't google that up) where there was only around 10,000 'humans' left, I can say that at the very lowest of the spectrum you would have to go 50-100 (human for sake of convenience) lives.
If we give each of them 20 years that's a whopping 1-2,000 years on you. Keep in mind, that's the low side, with low life spans and only 50-100 lives. Now also keep in mind i'm juggling these numbers with all the grace of a raccoon dumpster diving, and the equivalent knowledge of basically just having watched a Bill Nye episode, take this with a grain of salt.
I don't know why I rambled so much for a stupid 'who's older' question and if for whatever reason my question gets featured then thank you very much. Btw, thank you so much author-san for writing such an amazing book, the characters and setting are splendid.
Ansae and/or blue:
What do you think would happen if/when blue gets worshiped as a God? (Its going to happen, blue is the Calera, and can do "impossible" things. In a couple hundred generations I can see it becoming worship)
What will you do when this happens?
