I will say to all the people critiquing it, I get that it’s a sudden shift BUT these two stories are happening at the same time. They most likely will have effects on each other bc of the characters relationships with each other.
What if opal DOES succumb to the spider Queen or she dies?? Or any of the other crown keepers die?
Orym and Dorian will have lost 2 (or more!)of their closest allies within DAYS of each other. Thats gonna make some real juicy story points.
And if Dorian dies. Juicy juicy juicy.
I get it it’s change, change is hard. But I’m so giddy about this.
I think these stories are so intertwined that it makes COMPLETE SENSE for us to go see what the crown keepers are doing. Of COURSE.
Persona 5 Futaba Sakura and FFVII Remake Jessie Rasberry's voice actress Erica Lindbeck deleted her Twitter because she keeps getting harassed because she called out publicly...

Even though she and other voice actors have expressed since last year that AI can misrepresent/smear someone and voicing in character without permission from license holder can land them in legal trouble (as shown by Hoyoverse warning Alejandro Saab to take down his Cyno/Tighnari shipping music video) not to mention the danger it poses to their profession...
Which... the original uploader now have already took down their video, at her request but...
Multiple people then uploaded it in their YouTube channels (despite the original uploader also asking them to take it down) as a revenge for her....
*Check notes*
"Running a harassment campaign against the original uploader when she could've settled privately"
...and also comparing AI voice to game mods (which is technically illegal unless allowed) and vocaloid (which is officially paid, licensed and have their own quality control) or fan made vocaloid (which again, like all fan works, technically a copyright violation, just tolerated depending on the copyright owners)
*Throws note*
Update:
Robbie Daymon (Goro Akechi) and Erica Harlacher (Ann Takamaki) are pissed (ofc)
The comment saying "you're next, Harlacher"
Sena Bryer of Atlas Talent plans to sick the company they work for on AI users if they ever do this to her voice since it will affect the company negatively too, see if they like that
But Erin Fitzgerald (wakaba ishiiki) is now scared to allow fans to record her voice at cons
Her fans gracefully understand if she refuses to record at con
Kaitlyn Robrock (Fire Emblem Engage) was sent AI clip of her voice saying things she wouldn't
