Xavier Part Three: The Real Hero of MagiQuest?

So... why are we back to talking about Xavier again? There have been two major developments since the past entries about him were published here, and it has completely upended much of what we thought we knew! This new information was such a bombshell that it seemed necessary to return for a Part Three.

If you want to refresh your memory about past coverage, check out Part One and Part Two. For the purposes of this third post, I'm assuming that the reader is starting with a basic knowledge of who Xavier is, so if that is not the case please do take a minute to click back and reread.

Without further ado, on to the news! I will then follow up with some in-depth commentary with my own musings of what it all means.

Princess Candice Scares Me

For the record, I do not mean by the title of this post that Candice Night the real person scares me. I very much enjoy her music, and she seems like a nice lady.

What I mean is that Princess Candice - the character she plays - is terrifying because she is by far the most powerful character we see in MagiQuest, and her powers could have some pretty devastating uses if the magi were to get on her bad side

Now, I know what you're probably thinking. Something along the lines of, "You're crazy, Annacat! Singing and creating stars is a nice, harmless power. Sweet, even."

But is it? What are the full implications of Princess Candice's gift? And if she is so powerful, why is she a princess rather than a queen, and why does she not actually appear to rule anything?

All will be explained in due time...

Journey to Save the Light: Part Two

This post picks up from where we left off in Part One of our series on Journey to Save the Light, also known as ShadowQuest. If you are just beginning your adventure, check out Part One for some tips on how to begin your journey. The current post will discuss the runes, storyline, and characters of the second half of the journey, beginning after you confront Malaki for the first time in the cairn.

As with the previous post, the discussion is based on playing ShadowQuest at the realm in the Poconos. There may be minor (or possibly even major) differences if you are playing at another realm.

Needless to say, there are some spoilers for the ending, though it shouldn't ruin any major surprises.

Journey to Save the Light: Part One

For this series of posts, we have returned to the Scotrun realm to bring you a closer look at ShadowQuest, a.k.a. The Journey to Save the Light.

This two-part post will discuss the gameplay (though it will not provide a step-by-step walkthrough, because that is really beyond the scope of this blog,) story, characters, and what we learn about the lore of Vellara on the ShadowQuest journey.

Fighting Dragons

Encounters with dragons are a cornerstone of a magi's journey. Typically, the magi will have to duel the dragon and prove their worth. This post will focus on two dragons in particular: the siblings Charlock and Winterra. Who are these dragons? What are their powers? How can a magi defeat them in a duel? And what legacy have they left for magi in the future?

All About Xavier: Part Two

This is Part Two of our discussion of Xavier. If you missed Part One, you can find it here.

The second part of our Xavier topic will move away from analysis of the (frankly rather scant) facts about him, and focus on some speculation about his present and future.

Read on for musings with a heavy dose of opinion...

All About Xavier: Part One

One of the most mysterious characters of MagiQuest is Xavier. We have very little solid information about him. We know that he has been exiled from the realms, although not for what crime. Reportedly, he hopes to return to the realms and take revenge on the Council of Master Magi.

We also know that he is the Quest Master's brother, and Carren's father.

But who is Xavier exactly? A full answer to that is unfortunately beyond the scope of this blog, because there isn't a whole lot of information out there about him. Everything we know, though, we will share with you the reader.

For ease of reading, this post is going to be in two parts. Part One describes Xavier and what his powers may be. Part Two will delve more into his motives, his potential future, and some opinions about him.
