Ok, so assuming you go with the Empress + Ebon Dragon - Her Funeral = disaster for Creation route in canon:
Assuming the Dark Empress returns:
1) Is she akuma, or will the ebon dragon gift her with the powers of infernal exaltation - if that is possible (can he invest her with a solar shard, when she is already exalted, or is she just akuma'd)?
2) IF she is akuma'd, then she is broken down and brought back up in their image. Will she still resemble the Scarlet Empress?
3) How does the realm react to her return? Theoretically, she doesn't return until after the isle 'holds her funeral' - so, will they be surprised (well thats obvious). More to the point: how does the Realm react? Mnemon will deny her, imho, as she 'seems' to know quite a bit about what is going on with her mother (several veiled 1st edition references) - I could see Mnemon, denying her as Anathema, and perhaps even wanting to kill her, not only for the Anathema she has become, but to silence any attempts at returning to power on the Isle, (and hence, protecting her own attempt at siezing said power). What about others? Peleps Deled? Tepet Ejava? Other great houses? Mouth of the Peace? The Sidereals and Kejak?
I have my own intricate thoughts and campaign plans on this, but I wanted to get a few other opinions, because if it's really good or better than I think I currently have, I will probably steal it. Thanks!
