Ultimately it was done to reset us back to a blank status to implement the Imps vs Pubs expansion without us being vastly overpowered. But that's a topic for a different thread, this is the Theron thread so we should take this convo elsewhere.
Well, we still don't know how/where the ritual itself originated from so I guess that aspect is still intact. That aside, he's just a lazy old man essentially microwaving ready meals. Not gonna lie, I can see the funny side of it.
Did you kill Scorpio in the expansion? If she's alive after the Nathema FP she'll email you and tell you that GEMINI 16 was indeed omniscient and had gone rogue... You'd think Scorpio would've given us the heads up though lol.
As for Valkorion, Charles tweeted that Zildrog was just an implement he used to do the killing for him like how he used his armies to do the killing for him in The Knights story arc.
At the end of the Nathema Conspiracy flashpoint I received an email telling me that Zakuul was cutting ties with the Alliance. My toon in question picked the peacekeeper option in KOTET, does something similar happen if you chose to rule over Zakuul as an Empress/Emperor?
