Uhh...
Not really seeing the reason for this, feels like a random sidequest that comes out of nowhere like a speed-bump. Weird and out place, though not bad by itself.

That's a fair criticism, it is something of a detour/side quest to pick up another party member, our Podracing scene if you will.

lmao, a cult of bodybuilders is not what I was expecting.
Tyrael is being awfully reckless with her decision making. Making deals with a powerful vampire? Going after a dangerous artifact? Trying to keep it all a secret? Her motivation makes perfect sense, but it's really clouding her judgement.
I totally forgot about Eletha and how she reckoned with her own immortality. It really is a bummer of a topic. I wonder how the average elf who captured a human dealt with it? I guess most probably didn't form bonds with humans as strong as Tyrael or Eletha did.
Author's Response:
Tyrael is in a spot where she's been the smartest and most powerful person in the room for so long (like literally centuries) that she no longer has that niggling sense of doubt that tells you maybe this is a bad idea, she just truly believes she's smart and powerful enough to deal with anything that could go wrong.
Given that a lot of the elves want humans as shrunken pets forever no they probably didn't form bonds that powerful. Eletha was an elf who was very much ahead of the curve on dealing with grief, even if she did it in a messed up way. Obviously Tyrael's own emotions on the topic are clouding her judgment pretty badly, something which will come to a head by the end of the story obviously.
