Hopefully, these answerless questions will be addressed in Scourge – but for now, we’re left with quite a bit of mystery. That’s not to say that the cards are totally unrepresentative of the storyline, though. Here are almost fifty flavor texts from Legions that show both what is and what is not happening in the novel. In Legions, the mysterious activity is depicted by the following quotes: We’ll start with the greatest oversight in both Onslaught and Legions: The Riptide Project was mentioned in both sets, yet appears in neither book. Most, however, wouldn’t return home at all.”~ ~”Many wizards came to the Riptide Project hoping to return home with answers. Okay, so here’s a clue about the Riptide Project. In The Real Story Behind Onslaught, I noted that”…many blue cards reference the Riptide Project, apparently something Empress Llawan is instigating to control the Mirari.” Well, this quote leads me to be less sure about the leader of the Cephalids in all of this. ~Those who lead others to wisdom become the wisest themselves.~ So, rather than answering a question, this quote poses a new one: Whose is the Riptide Project and why do all the wizards know about it but we don’t? We learned in the Odyssey Cycle that Llawan doesn’t care too much about the outside world, and an open invitation to wizards to help her on this project just seems out of character. The other”Riptide Representative” I chose for this article is this supposed”director” of the project.
As we’ll soon see, it’s quite obvious that much (if not all) of the Riptide Project is geared towards recreation of the slivers. Follow them here and see if you arrive at the same conclusions I did: If this is so, I have to question why the Director’s quote deals with the spread of wisdom – this isn’t the Tolarian Academy.īut, in trying to make sense of what, exactly, this business is all about, I’ve tried to arrange the sliver quotes in such a fashion that they might read together to paint a picture. ~The directors of the Riptide Project wanted instant results on the sliver experiments.
