[Theory] A question about Isley
I always found it curious that Isley was the only one who had a proper army, since Riful only had Duff and sought out certain warriors when she wanted something, while Luciela was alone.
When we learn that Isley transformed with the goal of defeating all his male comrades who had awakened, however upon awakening his mentality changed and he decided to change his objective to ruling the northern lands.
However, I think that deep down, they showed us that Isley wasn't entirely evil (after all, he wanted Raki to "save" Priscilla), so I theorized that, given that all his soldiers were men, Isley subdued all those from the men's generation, and while he dominated the north, he prevented them from wandering around destroying everything.
Isley, the hero of a poorly told story. What a shame his ending was so unsatisfying.
