Tharizdun and Exandria’s leap in progress

“Watching. Potential. Learn. Grow. Provoke. Consume. Reward. Patience”.

Uk'otoa "The Open Road" (2x05)

It was talked at length how the theme of hunger is prevalent in this campaign. And this hunger has many faces – from the literal hunger of Kylre the Nergaliid to the metaphorical hunger for wealth of Vokodo to the hunger for freedom of Uk'otoa. And many people theorize that it is the influence of Tharizdun, the Chained Oblivion that prompts the rise of insatiable hunger in many beings.  

But I want to talk about another type of hunger which showed up time and time again.

The hunger for knowledge.

More importantly, I want to talk about how the rise of hunger in the world is associated with negative phenomena like corruption and madness– but at the same time, the coming of Tharizdun could also prompt (and already prompts) the biggest leap in technological and magical advancement in Exandria’s history – because it is Tharizdun that makes hungry minds search for answers.

One of the most prominent examples of it is the story of Fjord. Uk'otoa (the being whose “hunger” is speculated to be influenced by Tharizdun) in his dreams tells him not to simply obey or follow his commands – no, he tells him to use his natural curiosity and ambition to become more powerful – and to do so by learning. Note how in the beginning of campaign Fjord’s goal is to get to the Soltryce Academy to learn about his new powers – and when that doesn’t work out, he is still eager to learn what Uk’otoa offers him (in the "Stalker in the Swamp" (2x21) his patron saying “Learn” prompts Fjord to dive into the pool). Only with the help of Caduceus and the Wild Mother he is able to cope with his hunger.

Then let’s look at Fjord’s First Mate - Beauregard. She is the group’s Number 1 note-taker, researcher, theorizer, truth-revealer. Her whole story is tied to the Cobalt Soul monks whose goal is to seek knowledge...

But is it really?

The Cobalt Soul worships The Knowing Mistress, Ioun who was forever wounded by Tharizdun – and it seems to me that, with possibility of Tharizdun’s release Ioun make the Soul lean more towards their second goal – to root out corruption, of which the Chained Oblivion is both the main representation and the main source (note how Beau gets not some high researching position in the Order like an “archivist” – but the position of the Expositor).

But of course, we cannot talk about hunger for knowledge without talking about Caleb. From episode 1 he was curious, he had appetite for knowledge – but as we saw later, many times he was borderline hungry for it (and because of it, he was able to develop unique relationships with both Fjord and Beau who also very inquisitive in nature and face the same temptation as him – note how it was Caleb and Beau who read the eye-granting book of DeRogna). For many episodes his goal was to unravel the secrets of time itself – and now, when we all thought that he was finally able to keep that hunger in line, the secrets of Aeor – and Cognouza ward – proved to be his hardest test yet.

The same Cognouza ward which is speculated to be corrupted by the Chained Oblivion.  

But theme of searching for answers, of desire to know runs like a thread through all of the Mighty Nein’s story. Clerics frequently use Speak with Dead, Commune and Scry – to try to learn new information, to gain advantage, to understand what is really going on (note how it was Jester who used the divination circle in Eiselcross).

And this is what really makes the Mighty Nein’s story different from Vox Machina’s – they must unravel the secrets of world, dive deep into the lost knowledge, theorize, search and learn to even try to defeat their enemies (and note how it was Molly who never wanted to know anything about his past – and where it got us).

But as I said above, not only Mighty Nein are prone to this hunger for knowledge. The whole world of Exandria and its denizens become more agitated. Take, for example, Yussa – Yussa, the great wizard, the owner of the Open Quay who lived for hundreds of years – but it is now that he cannot keep his morbid curiosity at bay and puts himself in danger time and time again (and note that he got stuck second time in Cognouza). We all joked that he is High Int Low Wis character – and while he certainly is, it does sound a bit strange that his desire for knowledge would overcome him like this.

Unless he too succumbs to the influence of Tharizdun like all those who seek knowledge.

But nothing can compare in terms of thirst for knowledge to what Essek did. When he decided to become a traitor to the Dynasty, when he decided to give Beacons to the Empire so he can research them he was influenced by a number of social and psychological factors – but at the very heart of it, Essek Thelyss, the Shadowhand, was hungry to learn – to learn the nature of the Beacons and the Luxon, the nature and possibilities of the dunamancy itself. After 120 years of life his natural curiosity, his desire to learn was too accelerated by Tharizdun – and to quench his hunger for knowledge and power, Essek starts a war.

And it goes without mention that dunamancy is like the perfect metaphor for that. Both Essek and Caleb are eager to find true limits of this school of magic and therefore spend a lot of time exploring the ruins of Aeor (and note the many signs of connection between Luxon, dunamancy and Tharizdun – the wording of 9th level spells “Ravenous Void” and “Time Ravage” yet again refers to the theme of hunger. Caleb and Essek wanting to master dunamancy quite literally means mastering the hunger of the Universe).  

So, considering all the examples mentioned above (and so many things that I didn’t touch upon), we may say that the hunger of Tharizdun sips through every level of one’s live on Exandria, both on personal and societal scale. Twenty years ago, there were no guns in Exandria save for Percy’s inventions - now we have Hupperdook which is the Empire’s first industrial town and the main research center for the “new and volatile technology” of gunpowder and guns. Twenty years ago, the dunamancy was a mysterious to Kryn and unknown to Empire - now we have research centers in Rexxentrum and people like Essek digging for answers. Twenty years ago, Exandrians knew almost nothing about Aeor and the Age of Arcanum – now we witness the emergence of pre-Calamity robotic society of aeormatons which can spread the lost technology around the world.

So, it won’t be a stretch to say that, if the coming of Tharizdun is not addressed in this campaign, in the next twenty years Exandria will become the most technologically and magically advanced it has ever been in its history. In this context the Moon Theory and Spelljammer setting (hints of which can be found throughout the games) would make so much sense for Campaign 3 – as they are the perfect blend of high technology and magic to which Exandria is rapidly approaching.

Iris And The SpeedForce

It’s really starting to hit me that Iris is connected to Barry in every way. She isn’t just connected to the man but she’s connected to his powers.

We first see it in the pilot. Barry wakes up from his coma and is seemingly fine. His first order of business is to visit Iris after Thawne mentions she came to see him quite often. He reunites with Iris and after an epic hug, she lements watching him die over and over. He reassures her by pulling her hand to his heart and says “It’s still beating”. It’s at THIS moment that Barry’s powers reveal itself.  The waitress spills her tray of drinks but for Barry everything moves in slow motion. Now at first glance it’s easy to dismiss this as a coincidence but this was the start of recurring theme shown throughout the show.

We see it again in episode 1x06. Iris has been kidnapped by Girder who’s threatening to hurt her. Barry uses his SuperSonic punch for the first time to take Girder down with some assistance from Iris herself. Now throughout the episode Barry struggles to defeat Girder. Cisco and Thawne tell him if he runs at a certain speed (sorry I’ve forgotten the exact speed) that involved breaking the sound barrier it could be enough to take him down. The downside was if he did it wrong he would break every bone in his body. But hey Iris was worth the risk 😜 Also worth noting Barry tried using the SuperSonic punch in 1x21 when Joe was kidnapped but it failed.

In 1x15 Barry’s dreams come true. Iris confesses she has feelings for him and they share a kiss. Bad timing on their part because Weather Wizard had kidnapped Joe and was sending a tsunami to destroy the city 😅 So Barry runs around the city trying to create some type of barrier and accidently travels one day in the past. Barry later tries to replicate the event but is unable to. Thawne tells him his feelings, adrenaline could all play a part and look at what Barry says. Notice the order. Iris and the entire city. Now mind you Joe was being held captive by Mardon at the same time which is why he and Iris were at the waterfront.

Still it comes down Iris and others for Barry. She gave him that extra boost. That kiss and confession got his heart pumping. He had added incentive to to save the city. Iris loved love him and wanted to be with him. 

In 1x20 we get a flashback to when Barry was in a coma. Iris is talking to a comatose Barry saying she needs him when she goes to touch his hand. A spark appears. 

Later on in the ep we the spark again. This spark is how Iris figured out Barry was the Flash. Thank you SpeedForce. Who knows how long Iris would’ve remained in the dark 😒

Grodd Lives aka 1x21 Barry is under psychic attack from Grodd. By listening to Iris’ voice and focusing his thoughts on her, Barry is able to break through Grodd’s attack

In RunAway Dinosaur (2x21), Barry is literally in the SpeedForce which take on the forms of the most important people in his life Nora, Henry, Joe, and Iris. Now people may dismiss this as Iris only appearing as a part of Barry’s family but the SpeedForce made sure to distinguish her role from the others. The SpeedForce brings Barry back to waterfront where he and Iris shared their first kiss, complete with “Iris” wearing the same outfit. 

In the case the audience didn’t get it the writers had the SpeedForce say “Remember this place, where we first kissed” making it clear Iris wasn’t there as Barry’s sister 😉 It goes on to say it thought their appearance w this setting would be less upsetting for Barry. The SpeedForce replicated this scene because it knew how special a memory it was for Barry. 

It’s also worth noting “Iris” was the only one who a pleasant setting. “Joe”’s appearance was the murder scene at the Allen house. “Henry”’s appearance was at Nora’s grave, a place Barry never visited. 

In FlashPoint Iris once again proves to be Barry’s lightening rod. Barry is literally forgetting he was the Flash. Because the timeline was beginning to set Barry was losing memories of the previous timeline which included being the Flash. After a pep talk from Iris Barry’s memories are restored showing Iris is his lightning rod across timelines. 

Just wanted to point out SpeedForce Iris and FlashPoint Iris basically say the same thing to Barry. 

It should be no surprise then that Iris is involved the first time Barry travels to the future. There’s two ways to read the scene Barry literally ran into the future or the SpeedForce pulled Barry into the future. Personally I go with the latter because we see Barry being pulled into the SpeedForce but who knows how the writers may explain that scene. 

Either way it’s important that Barry saw Iris being murdered. Barry could’ve seen anything. He could’ve seen Caitlin turning into Killer Frost. He could’ve seen who the betrayer is. But he didn’t. If the scene was just about showing Savitar returns, Iris didn’t need to be connected to that. 

I’m of the opinion Barry ultimately saw Iris being murdered by Savitar because the SpeedForce wants him to prevent that. Bart Allen and a speedster dynasty are stake here and I’m sure the SpeedForce wants to keep that in tact. Not to mention Barry’s fate. It’s been mentioned more than once this season there’s no Flash without Iris West. Even in this scene Savitar is saying he’s now free of Barry right before killing Iris. Now this may be lip service and with these writers that’s certainly possible but I think it’s connected. 

Savitar didn’t just randomly kill Iris. Has he figured out Iris is connected to Barry’s powers? We’ll find out. 

Anyway Barry traveling to the future for the first time and seeing Iris is a nice little bookend to Barry kissing Iris and time traveling for the first time.  Seeing how connected Iris to not only Barry but his powers it’s hard to imagine how anyone thinks WestAllen isn’t endgame. No other woman on this show or in the DCTV universe has this connection to Barry. Not Linda, Patty, Caitlin, Felicity, Kara, or any other female you could name.
