“It’s not a title to which I lay formal claim,” said Nyctasia, smiling, “but, yes, I’m called that.
Here we are with the last of the Silverglass books. It is our time to bid witch Nyctasia r'n Edonaris brenn Rhostshyl and mercenary Corson brenn Torisk, Sorry, Lady Corson goodbye.
Nyctasia is finding her home as ruler of Rhostshyl while Corson...well she is back at the Hare getting drunk and looking for fights to pick. In the meantime men from their pasts have come back. For Corson it is scholar from her past that taught her how to read, amonge other things, and is now looking for work. For Nyctasia her former lover Ben is back. Trouble is Ben was supposedly killed in the Yth Wood back in Book 1.
Now it would be great if all these plots all came together to a satisfaying ending, but they don't. Not Really. Ben never really lives up to his former glory or threat. The scholar thread went no where and even the drama of Nyctasia rulership of Rhostshyl was anti-climatic.
I got the feeling that the authors had a bunch of ideas and notes and a 4 book deal.
Still though, it was a fun read and I am going miss these two.
Books Read so far: 22
Level: Crone
Witches in this book: Nyctasia, even if she denies her own power.
Are they Good Witches or Bad Witches: Nycatasia
Best RPG to Emulate it: Nearly any D&D game would work great. Tying D&D 5 for this one.
Use in WotWQ: Yes. I absolutely need to include these two in my War of the Witch Queens.
I could not let the year go out and not try these two out under D&D5.
Corson is remarkablly easy. She is a fighter with military training and she likes to get into fights.
For Nyctasia I first tried her out a sorcerer and even considered a druid for about 30 seconds. In the end I went with one of the new Warlocks with a Celestial Pact. It seemed to be the right choice for the Vahnite religion and her ability to heal others. I gave her Pact of the Tome to cover her scholar background since made D&D5 Background as a Noble.
