Lux: City of Secrets - Book 3 of The Evertree Saga by Thom Baylay

They’re a shapeshifter, they can probably make as many eyes as they want! :wink:

imagines Winter turning into a shoggoth - eww

Hey guys this is just a general curiosity. I was replaying city if secrets (really looking foward to city of lies!!) And chose the book that talks about races. Playing as an elf it says that we are 37 yrs old, but i couldnt find anything on any of the other characters. Does anyone know the other ROs ages??

Also is there a guide for city of secrest anywhere??

“Your partner, Daisy, is a half-elf and is twenty-three years old.”

“Your partner, Leah is a human and she is twenty years old.”

“Your friend, Ruby, is a dwarf too and is forty-one years old.”

“Your friend, Kyra, is a halfling of around eighteen years old.”

“Your ally, Gunther, is a half-orc and he is thirty-eight years old.”


And the ages for MC are:

Human: 20 years

Elves: 37 years

Dwarves: 27 years

Halflings: 18 years

Brownies: 22 years

Note that Daisy/Dandy and Kyra/Kyran can be different races depending on the MC’s race - D can be a gnome and K can be a human. I think L is always human?

Yup. Kyran/Kyra’s age as a human is “around nineteen”, while gnome!Daisy/Dandy is also 23.

Here’s one from the discord by CSVidal!. For Lux though, it’s currently just about the achievements.

Gorgeous, funny and clever is almost always a winning combination for me.

I did like the lust at first sight gradually morphing into something more. For me right now after Sordwin my mc and Dandy seem to have a dynamic that can, imho, best be described as best friends with serious benefits. I like the gradual progression of the relationship and I do think they’ll end up with true love, eventually.

Yep, it is. I make no apologies for it. Even if I ever were to go back into politics I wouldn’t be the faux family-friendly sort anyway.

I can’t speak for L. But for Dandy I think he also did that because he just lost his previous companion and the mc was there for him then. Had Iseria lived I think it would have remained a one off encounter with Dandy.

Oh wow, no idea that the human MC was so young :joy:

I may just headcanon my guy as a bit older, late 20s or so (partly to hew closer to my age, partly to be closer to Gunter’s)

I didn’t realize Kyra(n) was so young, for some reason I was imagining 21-25 (human version).

Going back to an earlier conversation about what the heck is going on in the MC’s head, after replaying the series and paying close attention to the worldbuilding stuff, I still don’t think they’re being directly empowered/controlled by one of the five gods. I do think the power is in some way divine, though. Maybe I’ve played the Baldur’s Gate series once too often (is that possible?) but I’m getting a very similar vibe.

The five gods are obviously going to play a more important role as the series goes on, since we must declare an affinity with one of them. Is the MC their descendant? Is there a semi-dead god kicking around that we’ve got a piece of? Was the MC bitten by a radioactive god-spider? Is this how gods are ‘born’ in the Evertree 'verse? Dunno, maybe I’m way off-base. Just some wild speculation on my part.

Lol same here, I was surprised to find that everyone was so young, save for Ruby and Gunther. I’m only 26 and I already feel weird about the LIs that are 18-20. :skull: I’m just gonna pretend they’re older :sweat_smile:

I read the three books again these days and I really need the forth one!!! the other part of book 3!! :scream:

By the way is there any guide of how to get the achievement about “achieve maximum/almost maximum bonus in all chapters”(yeah…the last one) in book 2? I found one in forum to get it in book 1, but no book 2.

My MC (LI: Dandy) had an encounter w/ Angel in the Bordello. Now I wonder if it will be brought up/discovered, just like the encounter with Winter in Sordwin LMFAO

I finished the first part of the third book and saw that there is no option to save the game, is it not released yet or is my app out of date? I wouldn’t like to lose my save, because I’ve been following his story since the beginning, if the option hasn’t been released yet, when it is, will I be able to save this game that I’ve already closed? I appreciate anyone who can guide me and I apologize if the text is not very clear, I am Brazilian

Save game isn’t enabled yet. Depending on which part EXACTLY of the ending you are, you might still be able to save that game (if you’ve reached the “rate this game” part, you’ve gone too far). Otherwise, you’re going to have to replay the game once the saves are enabled.

I find this difficult to accomplish. I only get nearly maximum but never maximum. I’m playing as an Elf hero and I always improve stats equally at the end of a chapter. In the fight against Winter, even the fire ball stat check would succeed. Still, during the runs where the fire ball fails, I would still get nearly maximum. Is there a way for this to work? Based from your post, I would need 5 points from lamuelhero but doing so would require me getting passed out? But that would mean I would lose a point for having low health.

That guide is a year old and all three games have been updated multiple times since then! I unfortunately don’t have the time to replay and check again. However, I believe having nearly maximum bonus is still enough to get the Super Sleuth achievement.

Correct. You don’t need to max every chapter. You just need to get nearly max to earn the trophy.

Wait. Is it possible to save your game? I might have misclicked and said no when it asked if I wanted to save. :frowning:

No, that’s not available yet.

Is this a continuity error? I’m playing with an import where MC was backstabbed by Winter and Winter never lost their faces, yet in the pony ride Winter acts like they lost their faces due to MC’s actions; ex. “plotting my revenge”, “thank you for giving our faces back”.
