[DD/DD2 game/lore/character spoilers]

I keep thinking about 'former' Arisens' pawns and wonder why it is they never show up nor even get mentioned at all. It would've been interesting to have at least some pawns, seeing as there are a bunch more Arisen than in DD1/DDDA that you can actually meet. It would've been interesting to see some have beastren pawns, especially since none of them are beastren themselves.

It would've also been an opportunity to get more lore through them, since DD2 fleshed out the pawns themselves, but then left them kinda hanging. With how DD2's cycle is really fucked to begin with I understand that a lot of things weren't really addressed (like what happens to the others once one Arisen kills their Dragon) and it really also wasn't the focus of the narrative, but it'd still have been important for the big picture, imo.

I was also thinking about whether or not the known 'former' Arisen would even keep their pawn around and why/why not. It's difficult to really be sure about a lot of things concerning this cycle or its duration, but here are some vague ideas:

Rivage Elder: Likely would've dismissed his pawn after realising the truth and knowing he failed to restore the world, just so he could feel like he freed them and they wouldn't be further wasting their time. Maybe he told them of something to do from now on, but I think he'd rather just tell them to beat it. Alternatively he might've taken them on another fruitless boating trip until the Brine tipped over their boat and his pawn got brined, and then he just never called them back and stayed on his own.

Cliodhna: Seems the least concerned with the whole Arisen thing and that would likely also extend to her pawn. Depending on how long she's already lived (or how long DD2 elves live in general) she might've had to take more time to adjust to her new situation and then for one reason or another didn't go through with killing her Dragon. If DD2's pawns are like DD1's pawns, then she might've noticed her pawn starting to look more and more like her over the years. Maybe she disliked that and told them to leave.

Sigurd: Would welcome anyone willing to bring down wyrms, so why he wouldn't have at least his MP still with him I really don't understand. He was the first Arisen where I was really curious and I couldn't come up with a good reason. Maybe his pawn was becoming less able to traverse the rift and would've therefore been a risk to keep around as a fighter or the like in case they died. Still, I would like to know the real reason.

Lamond: Might still be connected to his pawn in some way, likely telling them to make money so he can buy more liqueur. It would be funny if one of the two pawn merchants you can meet was his pawn in this case, since it's clear he's well travelled and knows Vernworth as well as Bakbattahl. Alternatively he might've also told his pawn to leave in a similar way the Elder did, since there was just no use for them any more.

Luz: Might want to keep her pawn around to aid with her profession as an oracle, as an informant perhaps. Depending on how much time has passed (and depending on DD2 pawn lore details) they might even look similar enough to pass as each other, which would fit with her being trickster in case she's attacked. I also think she forms bonds easily with anyone, so it would be comfortable to have someone around whose company she trusts after leaving Vermund. Who knows, maybe when talking to her it was her pawn half the time and not actually her.

Dragonforged: Doesn't seem the kind of hermit to dislike company, so I think his pawn could still be around, wandering and exploring the world, coming for a visit sometimes. For his enhancements it would help to have someone around, I bet, but I also think that he has to enhance things so rarely it wouldn't be worth keeping anyone there permanently. That and him living in the smallest cave he could find.

Rothais: By this point his pawn could've already become a person many times over and died of natural causes. Though I think Rothais was a little busy with other things to have paid that much attention to it.

Thoughts?
