After having read through all of broken realms teclis I think the losses and sacrifices of the lumineth have been understated a bit in this thread. Yes they won the battles and the war but it reads like a phyrric victory. Nagash is defeated and death is pushed back but the lumineth took many losses and seem to be incapable of taking any further actions for the time being. The book seems to be setting up for a new narrative and tying up loose ends from soul wars and I don't think that lumineth will feature prominently in any of the other broken realms books or the new narrative for a while. Teclis comes off as an arrogant fool who decides to invade shyish and destroy nagash because he got annoyed by the necroquake and he ignores everything else that is happening in the realms to his own detriment. I'm really excited for the new broken realms books as well as the new path for death that will hopefully be shown in soulblight gravelords. The writing is meh but warhammer lore has never been well written and the larger narrative has definitely been advanced so I am happy with the book from a lore standpoint
