[yeeeah let's move quickly on from Rhea shall we]

Her namesake? Mind elaborating a bit?

On Earth, Sothis is what the Greeks called the Egyptian goddess Sopdet, the personification of a bright blue star called Sirius. It seems the Egyptians measured the year by Sirius's place in the sky.

No way! Did you know there's an Egyptian god right here in Camelot? His name is Set, he's helped me out a few times. Why don't we ask him about it?

In fact, I'm sure there are plenty of people from other worlds with connections to ours, not just him. We could ask all kinds of people and get all kinds of answers.

[ set's certainly a name she came across, but one she largely ignored because it hadn't seemed significant. ]

I wasn't aware. This is all just what I'd expect from you.

What do you say we try to unravel these mysteries together? If only for curiosity's sake.

[ besides, there's a chance—however slight—that it might offer them some insight into the calamity threatening the worlds, if they can begin to understand their common threads. ]

Sounds like fun. I've used the network to great effect before back when the vote was happening, so if we do something similiar, I'm sure we can get some interesting answers.

I suppose the easiest thing to do would be to start with your list, and go from there. Is that okay with you?

I would be fine with that. Though some of what I've found is more

disconcerting? See for yourself.

Honestly, I focused most of my research on Arthur's stories, so the fact you've figured this much out already is amazing, Teach. Guess you'll always be the academy professor!

I wonder if that world stole all its ideas from Fódlan, or if it was Fódlan that somehow did the same... There's way too much there for it all to be one big coincidence.

The fact that Dagda's name is in there too, even in passing, makes me wonder if the similarities extend beyond Fódlan's borders. There's a lot to think about.

One connection spiraled into the next. It began as curiosity, but I'd spent hours at it before I realized...

Brigid and Dagda's names had me wonder the same thing. It wouldn't surprise me if the connections are wider than Fódlan, but I know very little of the the rest of our world. I'd like to change that.

Once things settle down back home, you could track that other me down. I bet I'd be happy to show you around my homeland. Edelgard too, if she's not up to her neck in Empire stuff.

It's more likely I'd be accompanying her on a state visit. The Emperor would want her marshal close at hand, even to the court of an old friend.

But I'm sure we'll both be happy to see more of it, once public life is behind us.

It's my father's court, Teach, not mine. But I'm sure I can butter up my parents for you to make something official happen, provided you're treating the old Alliance territories well.

Then I'm sure we'll both look forward to it, when the time comes. It might be great inspiration for Edelgard's painting, too.

Come to think of it, Ignatz once mentioned wanting to see Almyra with a certain someone for the sake of his art. I bet the landscapes would inspire any painter.
