Maybe, just maybe, she did everything she could in preventing that power from killing both him and his father themselves. I don't any power would take to kind to a woman they place high hopes/expectations on, both fornicating and producing an offspring with a foreignor. It's to be expected considering such factors could be used to influence her to act againstvthe vested interest of her sect. And in that same vein I'm surprised they didn't force the father in son to remain within the sect instead of allowing them to do as they wish. She probably fought for that aswell. But let's not give any such considerations, and dish hate out to a woman we haven't even seen yet, and instead immediately buy into the inexperienced bias of a 15 year old twerp whose only been a conscious member of civilation for a grand total of 9 years. Despite whatever Butler Dillian is saying about the efforts she made to bring her son out of a coma when her power base/backing is located countless miles away and she has to traverse foreign soil.

We still think he's the good guy?

I never much cared for this arc. Just reading it so I'm not in the dark regarding signifigant plot points when I read the other ones.

But he's trying to conquered it nonetheless. Only differences between them are the mode of operation. Noah has never been an innocent bystander.

Everything's here fault. she created Aldritch, with the explicitly purpose of using him as a means to cultivate Noah. He was right, they lived in a play ground, I'm not sure that man ever had an original thought. RIP the Pioneer. The greatest whetstone to ever do it.

Both sides (Noah/The Dark Expanse, and the Celestials) are wrong, or atleast only half right. But I like most of the characters, and it has a phenomenal power system alongside some pretty amazing world building, so I'm just trying to finish up this arc so I can get to the good ones.

I like this guy
