Heretofore-Annex-Blithe
| "If a pirate flotilla comes chasing after you, come crying to me. Have a pleasant day, child of Terra." |
Heretofore-Annex-Blithe or simply Blithe is a Dustkeeper warnet crux met by the player during the Hope for Hallowhall quest. He operates a persistent fleet of Dustkeeper veterans in the Mia's Star system, named Blithe's Neutron Wyrms.
Personality & Background
Blithe is relaxed and joking, taking on his duties with a persistently bemused air. A veteran of the Cause, he recalls the times of Seamstress-Affix-Banshee's tenure as shardnet crux and has witnessed the deaths and burnouts of several peers, and bears a lingering respect for his fellows.
Interactions
Blithe's fleet launches from Holdout Forgeship and patrols the system, engaging any fleets hostile to the Dustkeepers. His Neutron Wyrms fleet is somewhat more proxy-heavy than typical of Dustkeeper doctrine due to Holdout's isolation, but has higher officer quality. He always flies the ODS Bitter Water, an Anamnesis-class drone dreadnought.
The Neutron Wyrms are likely to be the most powerful patrol in the system at most times. If destroyed, the fleet respawns at Holdout after 20-30 days.
By opening a comm-link with Blithe, the player can speak to him on various topics, including:
- What the Dustkeepers are
- Ardent-Annex-Seraph's burnout
- Who 'Banshee' is, or what he knew about Seamstress-Affix-Banshee
- The unusual findings during Legacy of Hypnos
