    If the forest wanted the seed core to be apart of their destiny, it wouldn't have mattered if they went to law or not.

    No need to pay communist/socialist tree huggers. Make use of the free ride while you can. Then go to law after building the village. Get terrod and all those people afterward. After the infrastructure such as housing are grown.

    When do we expect Labirinth book? Or any next AK's book?

    I believe proofreaders were reading the Labirinth novel at least 2 weeks ago and he has mention end of March beginning of April as the release dates..

    Did AK ever confirm that the two books are connected, or is that still just an assumption?

    The book is about what happened to Earth after they Chaos Lords did whatever they did to Stop the Abduction of Earthling Chaos Seeds to The Land after Richter started the Age of Chaos. Pug mentioned to Richter that Earth had undergone serious changes after they did whatever they did.

    Pretty much yes.

    1) Aleron specifically said at one point that we would "see" what happened to the third bolt.
    2) The earth is connected to the labyrinth.
    3) Pug specifically tells Richter that a doorway remains open between the land and earth that the lords of chaos could not close and that people will be free to leave their lives on earth if they so choose. That should be seperate from the labyrinth connection IMHO, a direct connection. One strong possibility is an exodus of second generation chaos seeds fleeing earth ormigrating to the land. Ones that have already fought on earth for months or years and are therefore stronger than most first generation chaos seeds.

    I find it quite wellwritten, but its not big on hard stats. Instead we get a general idea of the main character's powerlevel and learn that basically everyone truly powerful in the multiverse is some flavor of necromancer, meaning they steal the power/ talent of their kills. Of course, you need exponentially more power to acquire significant growth (main character is a runner (kinda like flash, except way weaker, but he does have the same heroic tendencies) who starts out hunting automated necromantic harvesters from another dimension in order to protect his family. In the beginning every kill matters, but pretty soon he needs to kill thousands of basic critters to increase his speed/ endurance even a little bit, though luckily his speed makes that a viable strategy. ), so a lot of old school necros basically murdered indiscriminately, leading to the outlawing of necromancy and the banishment of all captured necromancers to a prison between earth and hell where they were put to "good use".

    If Richtær returns to the HT and gets his armour resized, then will it finally get a fitted bonus? Those sprite mages (armour shapers?) can really cast some great stuff.

    A great export to have. Have a group of them at the MV in a mage building and they take orders for magically created armour. Another reason to have been closer to the sprites. Why use the ingots on armour when great stuff can be magically made? Keep it for the arms. Worth a standing offer to enter the Dungeon.

    Well the magical armor likely takes time to make. I know HM seemed to make some instantly, but I think it came from the sprites armory. Both types of armor have their advantages and disadvantages, but if it were up to me every piece of armor they can craft would be crafted. Even if they can't use it themselves or the stats are inferior, it can still be put to great use by their allies, the kobolds and the various minor tribes. Both the village and the HT could use infusions of raw materials and wealth.

    I doubt the sprites would risk resizing a full set of armour for Richtær. It could be that they were working on all the time he was gone, but I think it made fresh for him. The other magicians also repaired two full sets of armour in a day, though they thought it would take at least a day. I think it was made new, because the HM used the majority of her settlement that day on what I think was the human sized enhanced Sprite armour.

    One aspect of the book I don't think I realized was this part:

    You have unlocked the Quest:
    Crystal Garden II
    The Focus Crystal you gathered is a living creature. You must plant it within one week or it will die.
    Success Condition: Plant the Focus Crystal before a week passes.
    Reward: Crystal Garden
    Penalty for failure or refusal of Quest: Possible loss of alignment. You have no choice in accepting this Quest. Your actions have consequences!

    Another example, of alignment change.

    The second series will coincide with the land, and the earthlings will be brought to the land at some point. There is a god node now available and perhaps those on earth who make it into a lybrith could be brought to the dungeon of the chaos serpent through this god node. I think that the second series was planned, and that this information needs to be constructed before Richer becomes an emperor. I think it is also why time is passing so slowly in the MV without time gaps.

    If chaos seeds begin to filter into the land through the labyrinth or the God node, would they all arrive as level 1 noobs? Will they be granted random abilities at some point during the process of arriving, like the original chaos seeds? If for instance Seal Team 6 battled their way through the labyrinth and found their way into Richter's dungeon through the God node, how cold they not start off with high physical stats, and pre-existing martial skills?

    Everyone was alignment locked when it came to chaos and order, but there was still good and evil.
