High praise indeed, you can stay.
I was listening to the song and the forge scene popped into my mind.

Will my character being insulted by the nobles because I am a mud blood Harry Potter style? I could say that the machine turned my body and blood in old ancestry blood so I am more pure than them? It could make a great political speech I am the future of our kind never more commoners will be a menace to our superior intelligence rule over them is our right and i will let them remember forever!!!

Yes, but subtly and devastatingly. No one will openly call you names, but they will tell each other ‘rumours’ they have ‘heard’.
That’s Lady Calinas’ thinking. If you’re sufficiently different, then there is ever chance the nobles will find you ‘amusing’ rather than tedious. This will be an important weapon in your arsenal.
I suppose you could… The King or Queen would probably just be working to keep a neutral face in the background, secretly thinking “I put a ring on crazy, I put a ring on crazy…”

Someone trying to get in touch right this second, or someone tried centuries ago and the message is only being received now?
How do the timelines line up?
Be careful! You might get the notes all mixed up, and that would be…
Well, it’d be interesting at the very least.
My kingdom for the option to become Hannibal Lecter in the noble path…
Granted, it’s only a model, but… You can have it.
If that means that someone will write a groovin’ tune about the MC when disco’s invented in this universe…
And all they need to worry about in this case is some mild heartburn, yeah?

Well… If the Fall is the same Fall being talked about in… well…
That would place this about mid-way through the Mythic Era, so the flying castle you found so familiar won’t be ‘born’ for at least another 7000 years.
Which I admit only raises more questions than it answers…

But awww…that means they really see the “noble” myrmidon as “one of them”, considering half of what “nobles”, or well at least the “socialites” among them do is make up “rumours” about each-other.

Hmm… Does that mean the King of Golems wasn’t a freak accident? This chain of events just gets more and more intriguing…
Also, how much does Arinthas know about… any of this, if anything? Did he have a hallucinatory episode that drove him to his current quest? What’s he gonna do if he breaks down the door and discovers that there’s certainly a princess, but she’s in another castle - and it’s not exactly close? (Just how far away is this other castle, anyway?)
Also also, the Wolf. I can’t remember the exact question, but it had something to do with the Wolf.
The more vicious the rumor, the more they love you. Isn’t that how it works?
edit: also also also, could the MC get bit by the hallucination bug? Or does it not affect myrmidons?

Hmm, while I can’t answer that first question with any certainty, I can probably take a stab at the second one.
Ok, so I specified the location of the Chain in another message (sorry if this leaves some of you behind, it was a separate conversation that I bled into this one, ask and ye shall receive), but I haven’t specified the location of the Ring, and I probably couldn’t calculate the distance between the two without… phew… at least two densely packed pages of notes.
Needless to say, they’re not exactly down the street.[quote=“OScott, post:1573, topic:15992”]
Also also, the Wolf. I can’t remember the exact question, but it had something to do with the Wolf.

Well then I can’t remember the exact answer, but it’s certainly something to do with the Wolf.
Hmm… I’m inclined to think it would probably bypass the Myrmidons entirely. I’m not exactly sure what this ‘illness’ is, but it’s definitely trying to talk to Mankind.

Well if they’re even in the same universe that heavily implies there’s also a big, bad and truly alien empire somewhere out there.
Maybe the Ringworld then got “lucky” in that it is situated on a patch of real-estate that even those aliens (who are disturbingly implied to be more powerful and ancient than even humanity at its peak) cannot, will not or perhaps even dare not go?
This could mean that one of those new “diseases” is the true “landlords” calling?

I know, right?
Oooh, it could be…
Or it could be a message from the future, a man-made Ubermensch reaching back through time, working to ensure it’s own birth in some far distant future timeline.
Or it could be a diplomatic message from the God-like things moving through the dark of space, pulling themselves in and out of reality with no more than a thought.
Or it could be the psychic run-off of a war so titanic that it’s echoes are still being felt across the universe.
…or it could be some sort of novelty entertainment device beaming fragmented data files right into people’s brains.

I wonder are Flashdroid and his descendants necessarily involved in that, does that mean that Flash basically has to become a noble and use that baby-making forge with a sample of the original’s DNA and that if he/she doesn’t those messages will cease, cause that would be something alright? 
I know, the Upper Brain has developed a sense of humor and is now using humanity for it’s own wicked entertainment to punish the old Thinkers for hundreds of years worth of porn and lame sci-fi uploads.

Myrmidon Mara sounds like she’s going to go full Howard Hughes once she gets all the power she wants. Just sitting alone in a lavish palace suite wearing tissue boxes for shoes and widdling in jars.
Don’t worry, you probably can’t even get Hive-worm fever. They’d probably just get eaten by the Dot-Tech in your body before getting fat enough to reproduce.
