He's different on every shard.

On LS, Galen the character finds him.....disconcerting. But there's nothing concrete to hang on him yet.

[Dermott of LS]

...

He speaks well (which in itself is disconcerting as such things have been said about other such leaders that I tend to find distasteful), and tough to corner on a given issue.

From an ingame perspective, Dermott finds him VERY worrisome in his idea that he feels he can "negotiate" with the Shadowlords and expects an emissary to parley with him (this after the "negotiation" with Andrew that Dermott had in which the only Parley was "join or die"). Also he seems VERY quick on the conscription issue to bring it up, yet pin any blame of it on the captain of the Royal Guard (which hasn't even been named yet), a kind of pre-emptive projection knowing how conscription is often percieved. He spent a long time going over the various cities and facets and how they are considered either a part of the Kingdom of Britannia or not. His thoughts on Felucca were muddled at best, I think he really may not understand that world.

Out of game, from a player perspective, I give big kudos so far to the new EMs. Not only did they appear for their "scripted" events, they each (as Sherry and Casca respectively) attended post-event meetings between the forming factions of those wanting to meet Casca further, and those who are mistrustful of him (Casca at the former, Sherry at the latter). Sherry did not stay long, however, Casca continued taking questions at least until 12 midnight EST/11pm CST and maybe later (I had to leave by that point as I had to retire for the evening).

All in all, if this is only the beginning, we're in for a fun year in UO.

hang him now that's a interesting idea lol
I have not formed a definite idea yet but leaning towards not liking him!

I'm running into the problem that the designated member of my crew of characters who heads out to interact with event has a fairly stern sense of justice and civic duty and is rather sympathetic to everything Casca says and the way he says it. To be true to the character, he'd have to be completely won over to Casca's side of things.

To try to counter this, I'm playing my other characters who have had little or no contact with Casca as deeply suspicious of the effect Casca's voice has on people.

 

[Morgana LeFay (PoV)]

He is a usurper!

He is false!

There is only one true heir to the throne...and that is Abigail LeFay.

hmmm ... but does her claim exist on every shard or upon only one variation of our lands?

 

[Kratos Aurion]

So what did you all think of our new so called king and basically declaring martial law?

I called Chuck Norris. He's on the way.

 

[Morgana LeFay (PoV)]

I have never been to the other shards. I know how it is accomplished, but I have never tried it.

I assume there is a Morgana LeFay and an Abigail LeFay on every shard, just like there is a Trinsic or a Yew...but I cannot say for certain.

But even if there isn't, it was my understanding that at the shattering of the gem, a mirror image of Sosaria was created within each shard. If the gem was shattered before Abigail's birth (and I think it was), then the histories and timelines on the other shards would be different. Yet, Casca seems to exist in every shard. How could this be? Also, how could the so-called Ruling Council make the same decision, and suffer the same fate, occur on every shard?

I would find it hard to imagine that one could happen without the other.

It matters not to me. I live in the world that I am bound to. And in that world, that shard, Lord British named Abigail LeFay to be his successor...not Casca.

Then it would seem that the eyes of the ranger are upon us.

If you want to get into quantums... There is an infinite amount of parallel parallel universes. Meaning, each parallel has its own parallel creating quite a paradox. And with there being an infinte amount, there is an exact instance for every mi-nute difference for each parallel. So one shard you exist, another you dont, another you do but act differently.

That's interesting ... the backstory I built for my characters is that my main-account characters are not native to Sosaria but rather are originally from my pencil-and-paper RPG world, having been swept through a moongate into one shard of Britannia long after the shattering of the gem. Thus they are unique.

(although that made the "evil twin" encountered a few Hallowe'ens ago all the more disturbing ... if it wasn't leaking through from some obscure corrupted shard, where was it coming from?)

An astute observation on your part.

Yet, consider this, if indeed there are multi-verses, then indeed there would be at least 1 universe in which the gem was never broken. Each point of divergence must have a tangent. Correct?

Perhaps the shards are nothing but an illusion, and in fact we all exist in a computer matrix...and...oh, wait...
