SPOILER Qira being the Queen of Fruma was closer than we thought.

• They can both be addressed with names that start with Q (we knew this one but)
• They both sculpt their domains, apathetic of things outside unless it's Dark.
• Very powerful
• Know Gale
• Kind of symmetry with Qira recruiting from outside and Queen shipping people out
  
• Yeah

 

Technically the game refers to the queen as Her Majesty

 

Why I wrote can not are

 

Wrong. Her Majesty is anything but Apathetic about both Light and Corruption. She's currently focusing on Dark because it has the advantage, and Corruption is largely able to be dealt with by the recruits thanks to the fact its Beast is an absent Mother.

________________________________

She also does care about the outside world, she remarks on its beauty in the very first quest and shows contempt towards Orphion and Saphanis for threatening its destruction. She just cares the most about Fruma, and puts in as much effort as possible preventing any other Beast from laying claim to any of it or having it fall to ruin.

 

They also both have a "weakened form" which the player fights:
- Qira wears inhibitor dampening her strength
- Her Majesty is in a shell, presumably making her weaker (allows her to control her blessings e.g) which we fight

 

I was originally gonna write "The Realms" but Qira doesn't care about Light or Decay so...
this thread isn't some super serious lore analysis it's just funny that Qira and Her Majesty have so much in common when one of the prevailing community theories was that they are one in the same.

 

We're only able to kill Anathema in the raid because:

• She's the Beast of War, a lesser Realm.
• She's rejecting her own power.
• She's lost a significant amount of energy to her Scions.
• We beat her up in her shell before.
• There's four of us.
