Godspeed Hedwyn. The Eight Scribes are ever merciful.

[@SlayerSeraph]

@@FancyTophatDude I liberated him last. Then myself. Left Tizo Bertrude and Sandalwood. I wanted to get Tizo out. But Tizo is a good friend of Volfred and knows the Downside like the back of his wing. So this trio fits well.

[@randallwillnauer9779]

I’ve been thinking about something. From literally any other triumvirate’s perspective, the Nightwings must seem like such villains. Not only is their team absolutely stacked with one of every race in the world, but by Scribe law, they are *automatically* one of the teams in every Liberation Rite. Whether they win often or not, they’re always the adversary to beat. They must seem like such cheaters. Plus they have a Reader, which it’s never mentioned any other triumvirate has. He’s basically got an insider knowledge on everything about the Rites, stuff that the illiterate can’t know. And *then*, they’ve got one of the two presiders of the Rites, the minstrel, just traveling around with them. Winning against them in any situation is an accomplishment, let alone in a Liberation Rite, one of whose referees *is like best buddies with the other team*

[@MrDaiohAzu]

very good thinking. I thought that too... Nightwings are so OP. no wonder everyone hates us. Also, i always wondered, since nightwings are so broken and powerful (being there at every liberation rite), how come such few people are trying to get into their ranks ? I mean, gilman switches team with us, so does Pamitha (in a way), but I mean, considering how broken nightwings are, everyone should try to get into that team in they own interests, no ?

[@jasoncrosbie8368]

@@MrDaiohAzu I think it's due to hedwyn that sir Gilman and pamitha both joined.

[@tricholysis]

the book explains this in the entry for the nightwings. each of the eight scribes has a triumvirate representing their ideals, and the nightwings are explicitly made to be hated adversaries, to unite the other eight.

[@MrDaiohAzu]

@@tricholysis oh, interesting. I must have skipped this bit of lore, thanks

[@DPoddy]

That was their very purpose. To quote the Book of Rites: "What is a life without an adversary? If not for forces that conspire against the will, life would be devoid of its innateness, the desire to overcome. Thus, when we the Eight at last each fashioned a triumvirate based on our own ideals, we realized a void still needed to be filled, as the night sky needs moonlight. We Eight were united. Our triumvirates shared our affection. They needed us to set them all against a common foe. Thus did we form the Nightwings, a triumvirate envisioned to exceed them all, both through means mortal and divine, and given undue favor in each turning of the cycle. They are the adversary we all face."

[@IdleInsomniac]

Such a powerful idea for a game. You get a character that you use a lot, and likely become attached to them. You get invested in their lore and personality and want to see them get closure for their banishment. However, the only way to make them truly happy, is to lose them forever. Is it worth it? Perhaps they're better off with you? Perhaps they'd much prefer the civilization of the Commonwealth. You don't know, and you won't know til it's already happened.

[@leransilverdragon]

Bro it´s just as you say, you get really closer to them, but when you had to let them go is pretty hard, mostly because you want to help them all, but you know you can´t, and then you fight with all your strenght to let them be free once again.

Nothing like"I want but I do not want!" feeling. Even if you goal is to liberate others, you want to spend more time with them.

[@Solkpjish]

Oh I felt it hard the first time I ever completed a Liberation Rite. I had selected Rukey for the first time and when I got back to the wagon I remember going to ring the nautical bell and memories came flooding back of laughing over annoying him to the point he sabotaged it. For the rest of the game I would always give it a soft tap everytime I returned to the wagon.

Lyrics: By the Scribes we gather in their names To face the Nightwings here before the flames A common foe for all to prove their claim Prevail for freedom or to fail in shame Who shall rise again? The will to overcome shall urge us on To brave injustice 'til the stars have gone The favor of the scribes arrives at dawn Who shall rise again? Who lights the way for the aimless Favor is for the true Scribe-blessed Exalted by the flames, ascend Only the purest heart, repent, repent Stars above, below the pyres burn Who shall remain, whose freedom shall be earned To fly this prison, never to return Never to return (x3) Feel free to correct any mistakes xP

There are additional verses that play depending on which Triumvirate you are facing on Alodiel. Though they are not present in the OST version, here are the lyrics for them: *The Chastity* By the Scribes, we gather in their names Lu Sclorian, the Hundred-minds shall claim The Chastity, in faith uphold his name His humble Three seek wisdom in the flame Who shall rise again? The verses of the law have made it plain For Sclorian, no question there remains The virtuous shall victory attain *The Essence* By the Scribes, we gather in their names The blessed-born Triesta lays her claim For her grace, the Essence fan the flames And liberty shall be their only aim Who shall rise again? These pious Three shall wear no earthly chains The virtue of their Matriach remains To free them from this unforgiving plane *The Pyrehearts* By the Scribes, we gather in their names The Pyrehearts find courage in the flame The passion of the Sea-Dominions aim To bring unto the Underking his claim Who shall rise again? Beneath the blue, old Ores plots his stand His mighty deeds are known across the land He shall not rest until victory’s at hand *The Accusers* By the Scribes, we gather in their names The bold Accuser, steadfast in their aims Those loyal few who Sir Golathanian’s claimed Seek absolution in the pious flame Who shall rise again? The hand of Gol brings justice to this place To find redemption in the solemn race To bear the burden of Golathanian’s grace *The Fate* By the Scribes, we gather in their names For Many-Maned, the Fate defend his plane Jomeur the Fearless One cannot be tamed His faithful three bring honour to the Flame Who shall rise again? With discipline the order of the Mane Preserve the glory of the Alpha’s reign Their perseverance shall not be in vain *The Dissidents* By the Scribes, we gather in their names The Dissidents stand firm against the flame Conviction binds them in their common aim Once disparate, in roves, they are the same Who shall rise again? Ha’ub who harbours those who’ve gone astray The Cursed One who guides them on their way Shall see them home before the light of day *The Withdrawn* By the Scribes, we gather in their names Milithe the Molten sends her pyre aflame The fearsome Three seek knowledge for their claim The Withdrawn shall find the truth or leave in shame Who shall rise again? The Wild Witch uncovers all concealed Her devotees in struggle never yield ‘Til all forbidden knowledge be revealed *The Tempers* By the Scribes, we gather in their names For Soliam Murr, the Tempers lay his claim The horned king, repentant in his aim To show his flock the mercy of the flame Who shall rise again? The virtue that the Tempers must attain The strong and gentle shall be both entwained And snuff the Pyre like a summer rain

[@unclekanethetiberiummain1994]

You were good son, real good. Maybe even the best.

[@atejas1]

I'm pretty sure there are different variants of this song for each Triumvirate. You definitely hear different backing tracks depending on which team you face and I think a few of the lyrics differ as well.

[@son4rch119]

yes, it was the most noticeable for me when i fought the dissidents and their metal theme started playing in the background of the song

[@marzgamingmaster]

Same here. I noticed small shifts here and there, but the dissidents very much made it obvious as their theme very much is different from the normal song. VERY good variant of it, however, it clashes so wonderfully. I would love it if they posted the variations, but I don't imagine they will.

[@Shinigami13133]

marzgamingmaster considering how they posted the extended sound track for transistor, the probably will.

Sadly, it doesn't seem like they'll be releasing the other 8 versions of the song. They've said so in multiple places.

I could listen to the first 30 seconds on infinite repeat. The calm before the storm as you select who gets their freedom, and who fights to support them. I LOVE this game!

[@Seb_No.13]

To all who return for the liberation rite, may you speak of which triumvirate you gave mercy to, granting their chosen their freedom, at the cost of your own chosen's, or were beaten by in the rite fairly? I gave Oralech his victory, as I believed that he was wronged, and should be given his freedom. However, as he slowly began to feel uncertain and I helped him ease his mind, he gave me freedom, relinquishing his own chance to return to the realm he was cast down from. It was something I never thought he would do, but it was something that stuck with me for a long time.

Jordariel is my favorite of them all and i kept her for last. I kept worrying as to who to free while keeping my favorites for last but then the problem is when will it be the last and my guess was right and i got all my darlings out except the 2 that i just knew would be okay even if they stayed in banishment. And all the songs in the game are just beautiful, make me cry a little sometimes. Because they remind me of the ending and i cried like baby at the end.

I have tiny nitpicks with this and Mourning Song. I wish both songs were slightly different JUST in-game. I wish Mourning Song were just Tariq singing (since it's meant to be "his words" for Celeste iirc), and I wish Never to Return had a version that was just the lute and mandolin that the pair play with no drums or anything else being added in. Don't get me wrong, I love the final versions we got for both. I just kind of wanted a version of NtR that better fits what's supposed to be happening in-game, which is the two playing their hymn during the Liberation Rites.
