Headscratchers / Defender's Quest

  • I don't understand what does all the stuff with fire moon in Tletl-Meztli dreams mean. Is it some form of her magic, or just a metaphor? That might be interesting, because all the magic in the game has as its source Eztli-Tenoch, and with his death The Magic Goes Away. Tletl-Meztli's magic (whether fire moon stuff or her blood magic) might be the only exception.
    • It is very heavily implied that Azra is Tletl-Meztli reincarnated. Yes, even though the first several years of Azra's life overlaps the last ones of Tletl-Meztli's. Also, Tletl-Meztli's magic is probably not an exception, since she earned it alongside, and thus presumably from the same source as, Eztli-Tenoch.
  • Also, again, all the magic in the game comes from Eztli-Tenoch. The question is, how he'd got the stuff? Are wizards that rare in their world, or had he stolen the magic from somewhere?
    • They are that rare, since tapping into magic requires years - if not decades - of effort, judging by the stories about what Zelemir went through not to mention Eztli-Tenoch going on about what all he discarded for power. This would partly explain why it is so rare for mortals to learn Dragon's Fire, even though any dragon could teach it.
      • Decades of studying is one thing, but the ending implies that there was exactly one "original" wizard in the world, that being Eztli-Tenoch. With his death, magic went away, and all the other wizards lost their powers. So, okay, every magic-user was getting their magic from Eztli-Tenoch; but there has Eztli-Tenoch got it from?
  • So, that battle where your defenders fought a flock of sheep...why on earth did Azra have to pull them into the half-way world to fight them? They're not revanant, they're SHEEP!
  • Who's side is Zelemir on anyway? The first four acts really make it seem like he's an agent of Eztli-Tenoch, especially considering that he commands his powers and his revenant, and the fact that he was originally the one who released him into the world, but then all of a sudden it's revealed that he's a well-intentioned extremist fighting to keep Etzli-Tenoch from rising again? It's jarring, to say the least.
