#Ilztaun leaves the prism with the Emperor and immediately lies to Voss that this was the only option :(

My main tav solidly always responds to the Orpheus orb with basically 'What if you just ate his brain'

And then essentially tossed over the stones with a thumbs up to do just that when it's time to take the one chance giant gamble if it'll work

...Seen him eat eat Orpheus's brain saw the corpse. Multiple times. Was into it

If my opinion has been changed it's been for the 'I should like to see you do this more actually.'

My githyanki Tav: *watches Emperor eat Orpheus’s brain* 🥰🥰

(They trusted him more than Orpheus and Voss. Safe to say Voss was not happy about this)

Using this to sidetrack for a moment, I remember someone on Reddit once saying that people who like the Emperor wouldn't like him if the game ever showed him actually eating someone's brain. Which illustrated how some of the people who hate him and argue so hard against him have a) never paid attention to him (it shows him eating a brain in what I believe is an unmissable flashback where he tells you about becoming a mind flayer), and b) never even tried siding with him (it shows him eating Orpheus's brain).

Anyway, we've seen him eat brains, and it hasn't changed our opinion *shrug*
