I know from experience that the men at the service of the Empire are either completely ignorant of their superiors’ plans, or trained to commit suicide before being captured; and the sorcerers and demons are too powerful to contain.

** Well, returning home is out of the question for me with Tirigaz gone. Those vermin will sure head back here as soon as they hear of our victory, presumably led by that hideous demon midget...

** The enraged Goddess of Life cursed us to linger around in this form, dwelling beneath the caves beneath the earth; the light of the suns, once revered by our people, had become a scorching enemy by day. Our fire magic was quickly displaced by shadow magic as we could not withstand the heat of our flames anymore. We became the embodiment of corruption, a mockery of the living beings we once were.

** I got the impression that she simply has been through a lot of things in her life, and surely it’s not her fault. From what I gather Urvatha, the world we usually call Inferno... it is decidedly not the best place to live — Demon Lords competing for succession and killing each other all the time, oppressing and enslaving their subjects, and Uria coercing them into doing her bidding by abusing the ancient powers she was granted by destiny...

*** vultraz: <i>'day'</i> is not capitalized in the succeeding 3 lines, so I assume it should not here as well. Also, the use of <i>'New Guardian[s]'</i> twice seems redundant.

Formatting:

  • Please '''bold''' changed words, unless the changes amount to a rewrite MARK ALL CHANGES.

For edits under review, append new comments and edit versions to the end of the block. Please do not overwrite or delete anything until the edit is finalized. When an edit is finalized, move it to the "Edits to be committed" section and delete all intermediate versions (all except the original and final).

FI stands for Formality Increase. Edits I've marked as FIs are only increasing formality and/or decreasing/removing elements that may cause the dialog to sound too modern.

And remember:

<shadowm> And please try to be orderly.
<_8680_> Of course.
<shadowm> e.g. If I see a correction for E2S4 followed by one for E1S8 and another for E2S2 I'll probably flip out.
