*** Maybe the reason why Rohoph didn't recognize Qualna masquerading as Clavis is because Qualna also changed his voice. So maybe all the Annunaki are good at changing their voices, which allowed Rohoph to say that to Elwyen with Mardek's voice.

I assumed different font = different voice, specially considering the characters notice things such as music changing.

**** For the second question, Qualna wanted to test Rohoph's capacity to think about his actions taking the Elemental Crystals, to see how much his former colleague became "[[KnightTemplar self righteous]]" by the Violet Crystal's influence. Qualna wanted to see how far the [[LightIsNotGood Annunaki of Light]] was willing to go to extreme measures to ensure his enemies wouldn't get him or his human allies. For the third question, [[BluntYes Yes]]. Qualna absolutely '''does not''' care about planet Belfan (or pissant little rockball/insignificant rock as he calls it) and its inhabitants, so I wouldn't be suprised that he'd be indifferent to Belfan's destruction given that he too was influenced by the Violet Crystal despite wanting to reconcile with Rohoph.

** Being possessed by an entity doesn't change the way your voice sounds. The only indication someone is possessed by an Annunaki is if someone's eyes are glowing and if their personality is different than the vessel when the Annunaki is taking over your body. In this context, Mardek's face was covered by his helmet and Mardek doesn't talk that much if we only factor in plot relevant dialogue and their interactions so Elwyen wouldn't know much about his personality. Rohoph didn't recognize Qualna masquerading as Clavis so I'm sure same applies to possessing someone.

*** I understand the [[AnAesop aesop]] Qualna wanted to teach Rohoph. I just pointed out the contradiction between what the king possesed by him told them to do and him as Clavis trying to convince them to stop. So Qualna was trying to teach Rohoph and Mardek's party what removing keystones by possessing someone to ask them to remove keystones? If so, why bother with the Clavis act instead of just appearing at the very end to say "This is what happens when you remove keystones"? Also, is he telling Rohoph he should've let Moric make a massacre in Belfan?

* After so much time accompanying Mardek, Elwyen should recognize Rohoph's voice, so she should've known it was Rohoph, not Mardek, who told her he doesn't reciprocate her feelings. Why didn't she recognize Rohoph's voice then?

** He wanted to teach Rohoph the importance on how removing something fundamental can have dire consequences. For Qualna, it was the death of [[{{Necromancer}} Moric]] that lead to political instability in his home planet Anshar as the latter served as the leader of most of the planet's military. The elemental crystals serve as the planet's organs and removing them can lead to Belfan to atrophy and die out; he wanted Rohoph to ''know'' that. That was the main theme of Chapter 3. '''Keystones'''.

* Why did Qualna possess the king to tell Mardek's party to bring him the crystals and then, as Clavis, try to convince them not to take them from their original places?
