@Axehand said in about the bible:

@DaveHowe If you want to go down that road, the Gutenberg Bible was in Greek and Latin during a time when translation was very much in flux. If you assume that Urano was aware of the history, then you have to assume she was aware of all the history. And there are a great many different, wildly diverging versions of the text. Quite a few people got murdered over that.

And yet, that is ALSO what we see ,hence Myne making differential records of what is or isn't in a given release of the Bible, and translating it from the ancient text form to modern child-friendly books....

But this gets into religion, which will and has caused butt-hurt even within this forum, so no point in going further.

Not wrong, but I think we can abstract this away from which school of religious belief a given bible belongs to, to the important place the Gutenberg Bible plays in printing history. That avoids us having to place any weight on Urano's own religious beliefs (or lack of them)

Hobby Japan had an interview with the sculptor of the Rozemyne figure for the third issue of 2023 (Page 310-313, specifically Page 312). It looks fantastic and based on the interview with the sculptor Miyajima Katsuyoshi is a huge fan of the books and anime. They started the conversation to get a figure off the ground. Below are some larger scans from the magazine. It'll be 28cm tall with the background.

Well, p5v3 part 5 gives more impetus to the Angelica x Bonifatius ship. Traugett just reminds her how much more impressive Boni is.

Thank you

@Flamesz-0 it's a bit of both. There's some we miss, some that get added to the LN from the WN (like Wilfried’s day as High Bishop in P3, or the Lueuradi PoV from last volume) but the rest are original as ways to encourage WN readers to buy the LN.

I think the prologues/epilogues are close to 50:50 split between new and WN material, and I know Royal Academy Stories was also fairly split with a lot of new material but also a lot of WN material.

There's just also a lot we're missing (and some stuff like audio dramas that JP audience gets that we likely never will).

Having actually read Goethe’s Faust in undergrad, wherein the arrangement between Faust and the devil is actually not a deal but a wager (the devil takes them on a journey and provides Faust with all manner of temptations, and if Faust ever says he is satisfied then his soul is forfeit)…that actually kind of tracks; Rozemyne keeps moving forward because she is not satisfied, she must have more books, more things that improve the world around her, hell she became the orphanage director because she was unsatisfied with the way the orphans were treated

@Libri-Liberorum said in Zent and the Art of HB Bible Management:

I don't think provinces have foundations. Giebes aren't taught foundation magic.

Except in Drew, for some reason - where all Giebes are first ACs.

I also think the principle remains the same when you are zent too - the same foundation magic that an archduke uses to divide up his duchy for giebes is the magic zents use to divide up the country into duchies.

@killerrin - I'm actually quietly sitting on a theory that the emeritus Aub Klassenberg might be the real puppetmaster behind the traitors. There's a lot of evidence against it (and very little motive), but a lot of the actions that led to Zent Trauerqual's long term weakness trace back to Klassenberg. It's just a question of whether it was accidental, intentional by Klassenberg, or well-intentioned but sabotaged by someone else.

Much knowledge would be gained if Ferdinand had some more scientific curiosity, and Rozemyne asked Johann and Lutz for some different metals and some potatoffels to create potato batteries.
It certainly wouldn't provide enough power to be useful for anything, but it could be enough for some simple experiments. Not sure how they'd measure voltage. My knowledge of such batteries is limited to Portal 2 dialogue, but @Justaidan might know more about whether it'd work.

@TunaFresh said in what determines the number of parts a volume will have?(P5 vol 3 will have 10):

Ah so it is translator workload.

or the rest of the staff but yes generally it's the workload.
also while a lot of people mentioned them possibly working on other books i'd just like to remind everyone it's the holidays right now and it's possible this may just be a result of people wanting to spend time with their families
so don't necessarily get your hopes up.

@kuali said in Bookworm Part 5 Vol. 3 Discussion!:

It will cost me mana or political capital to get out of this is about as binding as most things get in-universe.

That's a fair assessment. It's a difference in degree, not in kind.

Refusing to oblige Wilfried's commitments would cost less political capital than going back on his own commitments- but either one costs more than Sylvester has, because Sylvester has none to spare.

@kuali said in Bookworm Part 5 Vol. 3 Discussion!:

By the looks of it, Veronica actually does not have that reputation, even though she was far more guilty of it than Sylvester is. Very few people seem to be recognising who Fernestine is...

Very few people, meaning exactly zero outside of Ehrenfest, I think. I'm pretty sure even Ferdinand himself doesn't know (because he hasn't read it yet).

Veronica's reputation seems to have survived intact, yes. Sylvester is getting the bad reputation that Veronica deserves.

Those who were pushing for Ferdinand to marry out of Ehrenfest did know that he was forced into the temple, but not necessarily all knew it was by Veronica (and not by Sylvester's father). They also failed to realize that Sylvester inviting Ferdinand come with him to the archduke conference implied that Sylvester wasn't continuing Veronica's policies. I think that was some motivated reasoning on the part of Ahrensbach, combined with Sylvester not having anyone willing to listen to his side of the story (no political capital; Sylvester is a bad politician; yadda-yadda).

@arghc said in Bookworm Fanbook 3 Discussion!:

For no particular reason was thinking about Bookverse currency today. We know that at the Academy they still talk about things costing golds and whatnot. One presumes that currency between duchies interoperate fairly seamlessly. But, IIRC the lowest denomination in Ehr is a Lion, otherwise known as the "state" animal. Does Ahrensbach have Copper Dolphins? Does Glissenmeyer have Copper Cows? 8-) A question for a fanbook if the anglophone fans ever get to ask. 8-)

So does that mean that when Rozemyne accidentally conquers Yurgenschmidt, they're going to switch to copper/silver/gold gruns red pandas in the Sovereignty?

@homura1650 magic circle in Blau suddenly activates

I personally think Raublut's message to Hildebrand was an attempt to use the young prince more as an intelligence gathering asset and less of a play to elevate Hildebrand himself.

Seems my bookmark was just broken, all fine, waiting for vol 3

@GeorgeMTO all good lol the relatively small feedback (3rd? 4th? time I'm linking Eisenreich & temple fall... think 2nd on this thread) got me wondering if it's "dumb thing's that'll never happen" or along the lines of spoiler territory. Maybe no one else is pursuing this possibility? With the recent info on royal lack of knowledge being more ...juicy?
