Great write-up!
About one point, I’m not sure:
The description of the Shining Trapezohedron says:
“Perhaps fleeing their genocide at the hands of the legendary Kull of Atlantis, they made their way to the Exiled Lands where they befriended the Giant-kings through worship of their deity, Set. In return they were allowed to live in the Caldera of the volcano and build their cities there.”
That sounds as if either they both worshipped Set and found a basis in their common faith, or that the Serpentpersons adopted the worship of Set from the Giant-Kings.
The latter seems less plausible to me, but both seem possible. So maybe, “possible” instead of “likely”.
What I really don’t get is where Razma found the Mask of the Witch-Queen.
There are hints that she found in or near Sepermeru:
- Her journals tell a consistent story of her going to the Unnamed City, then to the Black Galleon, the Den and finally Sepermeru. There’s no hint of her finding the mask or being possessed by it in any journal. She has dreams, but that’s it.
- When we “kill” her in the Lemurian Ruins, she has the key to her house in Sepermeru on her. That only makes sense if she acquired that house beforehand.
- When we meet her in Sepermeru, she was “killed” and still has fading memories from the mask. It seems likely that after that event, she moved home to recover (or, if the same rules apply to her as to player characters, respawned at her bed…).
But why was the mask there? Who had it? Did Treasure Seekers find it somewhere? Where? How did it get there?
Besides Imi’s story, which probably was tol by Telith’s missing ghost, that’s one of the biggest open questions in Conan Exiles to me.
