Interesting that the hunters and huntsmen were described as living and dying to protect the Kingdoms lifestyles, not their lives or freedom or anything. I used to think the narrator lady was some sort of Grim,but now it seems she's more neutral.

[up]Well, the opening narration implied something that dire wouldn't seem in danger as the show started.

Of course, there's pretty much no chance of it staying that way.

wow, potential foreshadowing in the lore videos. Something tells me that the kingdoms might be divided and conquered

It just occurred to me that Weiss is the only one in Team RWBY who was raised inside a kingdom (Blake was raised outside by her own admission, and Ruby & Yang were raised on Patch).

Pet peeve; in talking about how these kingdoms are governed, they never mention a king.

Should've checked the list.

Constitutional monarchies where in the monarch's actual power in practice is unimportant? grin

Maybe it's like the United Kingdom? They used to have a King, but now they have councils and parliaments and their royalty is just a figurehead.

We always had councils and parliaments (from a certain point on, anyway). It's just a matter of how much power they have.

I also live in a kingdom, and we have a king. It's just that it's the Prime Minister who's the head of the government.

[up][up][up]Yeah, they're a constitutional monarchy. Though technically what the constitution does to limit the monarch's power can vary by a lot.

just bugs meWhy do they use the word huntsmen instead of hunters in the video? If you're going to introduce gendered as well as non-gendered terminology at least use it.

Something tells me that the kingdoms might be divided and conquered
That was my fault as well. wild mass guessMaybe Cinder and co try to blame Atlas for attacking Vale by using their mechas.

[up][up][up] Why? Because Huntsmen/Huntresses have more foundation in fairy tales.

I realized I kind of want a scene where Penny gets her skin covering removed, and acts/talks the exact same way, but as a creepy Terminator-style endoskeleton.

RWBY Fanfiction is surprisingly tame on this site, believe me, I know.

Well, the name "Frightful Four" gave me bad memories of the Deadly Six from Sonic Lost World (plus, I really dislike the Fantastic Four, and any other team equivalent to "the numerical something").

Unlike most, I'm not keen on the Grimm being "intelligent" or "humanoid" or having "awakened forms" (because f'ck Bleach comparisons, seriously), or having these advanced varieties - every image we've seen of them makes them out to be quite bestial.

I don't know what a Koschei is and I'm too lazy to Google it, so for that reason and those above, I really just skipped over your post I'm afraid.

It sounds like a cool name but... eh.

Random unrelated aside: in Chapter 7, it looks like they fixed the problem with Cinder's mask on the upload on RT's website, but not the You Tube upload. Still a helluva an action sequence though.

At a few points during Cinder's break in and fights with the guards, the mask she was wearing would disappear. A clear animation mistake of course.

The Narrator dropped a shitstorm of ominous warnings here. She said the Huntsmen defend their kingdoms and livelihood, not humanity as a whole. The Narrator also implied that there's conscription in the military... or worse, a "Live Service" in the military for those who join.

We finally saw the kingdoms. Atlas is in the north, Vacuo is on the west, Mistral is on the east, and Vale is right in the middle. Vale shares the same continent as Vacuo, but the giant Dragon continent above Vale is unnamed and unknown.

The most interesting part is the incredibly ominous warning at the very end, when the Narrator basically implied that Cinder is trying to pin the kingdoms against one another. Oh, there was also the part about how entire groups of nomads keep disappearing, but that can be hand-waved to Grimmling attacks.

At the very end, when she said "as long as they stand united," the lights ceased to burn. The beacons of hope were shut off. Something huge will happen in the coming volumes, I'm sure.
