* FreudianExcuse: Invoked. TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon sees Alyxian throwing the players through various visions and events in his life, all of which shown that he was BornUnlucky and suffered for it. Part of this is due to Alyxian's HeroicSelfDeprecation, but it's also to try and convince the party that he's not at fault for the tragedies around him so that they'll judge him fit to leave his EpiphanicPrison. [[spoiler:Should the players agree to let him go, it unlocks the DownerEnding where Ank'harel is destroyed and Alyxian rules over the ashes like a tyrant. But, should the players refuse to let him go or give him the impression that [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse it's still no excuse for what he's done to the world]], it starts the FinalBoss fight.]]

to:

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: His guilt and self-hatred makes Alyxian into a tragic figurefigure after everything befell him. [[spoiler:This ultimately turns him into an AntiVillain by the narrative, as the final dungeon seeks to explain the terrible events around him and how they shaped his mindset. Whether or not Alyxian deserves to be forgiven for any of it is ultimately up to the party, though.]]

* BornUnlucky: PlayedForDrama. Born under the full light of the fell moon Ruidus, he was followed by tragedies his entire life.

* BornUnlucky: PlayedForDrama. Born under the full light of the fell moon Ruidus, he was followed by tragedies his entire life. Going through the Netherdeep reveals some of these tragedies, including [[spoiler:his parents being attacked by townspeople with TorchesAndPitchforks, a unit he commanded killing innocent people, and a home of a family of three women who were attacked by monsters for sheltering him for the night]]. Alyxian's guilt over all of this happening is what causes him to end up in an EpiphanicPrison.
* ColourCodedEmotions: Played with. Ruidium was made because of Alyxian's rage and anger, and can cause a person to go into UnstoppableRage if exposed to it long enough. Every ruidium crystal is a bright red in color to symbolize this anger.


Added DiffLines:

* EpiphanicPrison: When the players reach the Heart of Despair where Alyxian is waiting for them, the party can deduce that there is nothing physically stopping Alyxian from leaving the place any time he wants to leave. It's just his guilt and self-hatred over the tragedies around him prevents Alyxian from thinking he should. [[spoiler:The party then has to give an answer to Alyxian as to whether or not they think he deserves to leave. Should they say "no" or take too long to decide, it starts the FinalBoss fight. However, if they say "yes" without assuaging his guilt over what he's done, then it starts the DownerEnding.]]

* SkippableBoss: If you're friendly with the rivals, it's possible to avoid having to fight them when the campaign would otherwise call for it. [[spoiler:The rivals are hired by Aloysia Telfan as protection in the Betrayers' Rise. If the rivals are friendly to the heroes, Ayo Jabe will say "ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules", let the heroes have the Jewel of Three Prayers, and turn the rivals' collective back on Aloysia. If the rivals are neutral or hostile, the heroes have to fight them instead.]]




to:

* YouLoseAtZeroTrust: Getting the rivals on your good side will make the campaign easier, as it will let you [[SkippableBoss skip some fights with the rivals]], such as [[spoiler:a potential boss fight with them in the Betrayers' Rise where they'll try to steal the Jewel of Three Prayers if they're indifferent or hostile to you]]. Making them indifferent or hostile to the player characters means the rivals are either not inclined to help you, or may go out of their way to make things harder for you.
