Topaz said that the abilities given by their respective stonehearts is different, so aventurine has transformation, jade the ability to see people's desires, and she mentioned that she does not have a transformation ability

[Guynthecorner]

I wonder if they can keep increasing the number of stonehearts if necessary. From aventurine’s memory with jade, it seems like there wasn’t a previous aventurine holder and the stone was just created for aventurine when diamond felt he was useful. So maybe we could see a 11th stoneheart down the line?

[acesword]

Topaz specified that her cornerstone power IS NOT like Aventurine's and that all stones hold different powers so I'm sure she means to say she does not transform

Great video but there are some mistakes I noticed:
1. Diamond is not a board member, but a board member candidate (like Oswaldo). The success of Penacony mission helped him gain a vote from Taravan, one of the board members
2. Obsidian is bathing in pomegranate juice, which is interesting since in greek mythology, pomegranates are referred as "fruit of the dead"
3. Opal is not the leader of the ten stonehearts, Diamond is. I think Opal is like the supervisor or a spokesperson since he's the one who seems closest to Diamond
4. Initially, Opal is supposed to handle Penacony mission, but switched to Aventurine bc Diamond wanted a more peaceful solution
5. Like some other stonehearts, Opal's cornerstone has oval shape, which is shown at the end of the trailer

Btw, Jade's real name is Eve, as we can get from her story quest "all about Eve" and in the Poop deck, we find a document written by a visitor to the Dreamscape, containing a journal of their travels addressed to an Eve, that was chronically or terminally ill and could not leave the house to see the universe. Further proof that these two are the same person, can be seen in the fact that Jade has a soft spot for Firefly, who as we know is suffering from entropy loss syndrome, and says that she and firefly are the same. We can even assume, she made a contract to become one of the ten stonehearts in exchange for better health and a longer life, which ties in to the biblical "eve" symbolism with the serpent

[FlcheF]

Didn’t Topaz say in the 2.3 story quest that her abilities « aren’t as visual » as Aventurine so my guess is she doesn’t have a transformation

[OasisShop-nlxs]

Sapphire is the one im excited for but obviously obsidian being p46 is interesting

[Marbeary]

Jade most likely has empathy for Aventurine and Topaz because if you have her and she will message you she likes going to orphanages and hanging out with orphans both are orphans.

"Aventurine is underrated." Words not to be used in the presence of Emily or Sam Slade.

In regards to Agate, I'm leaning towards using the Chinese interpretation of the stone, considering the stone was on what appears to be a shrine to the Chinese God of Wealth. In China, the Agate symbolizes "protection, harmony, and balance, " while believers of Feng Shui see it as a stone that promotes "calming" and "healing" properties.

This could lend credence to the Katarina theory as she is portrayed as somebody diametrically opposed to the above symbolism. On the other hand, if we go by stereotypes, one could also argue that Agate would be from somebody from the Xianzhou, considering the Chinese-style shrine.

have y’all noticed that pearls and ambers are both organic gems yet pearl is the only inorganic stoneheart so maybe amber is inorganic too?

[davidross]

love that you added the lore on the stones themselves definitely the most detailed take I've seen on them yet thank you for the work!

[doveslizleskiss]

jade is my favourite one (besides aventurine) because of how genius she is, damn. she can overpower evil people by using their greed against them. i don't see her as that evil, she's just smart - she plays the evil ones. the ones calling her an evil witch have definitely lost a lot to her by their own mistakes and are just bitter. also based on how she treats topaz and aventurine she surely has a kind soul. i hope we get more of her lore in the future because i think she was completely misunderstood by the players and penacony didn't focus on her as an individual enough

[TsuchiGamer]

The IPC IS crooked and I'm so glad there's such a variation in the people. Sugilite, Opal and Obsidian are definitely the ones that stand out to me the most

[QuietCrow]

For Obsidian, it's also believed that the stone was used in ancient rituals for sacrifices and medical procedures. It's still used to this day in surgeries when metal is not recommended.

TheGamerChronicles999, I noticed something interesting. If you look at the 2 scenes (one with the ten stone hearts walking up the stairs towards diamond's stone and the other showing the portraits of all ten stonehearts going from left to right), you can probably identify the ranks (p44, p45, p46, etc...) as well as the rankings within each rank if that makes any sense. The stairs scene correctly shows the opal being top only losing to diamond, with obsidian to be next, then jade, and to my knowledge everyone that follows fits their rank (p45 or below). I can't really see Topaz and there are 2 characters to the side that I can't really tell who they are but the rest seems to match. The sliding portrait scenes also matches this order and suggests that amber and agate are below Topaz and probably are also p44 which can be correct because to my knowledge we only know the Topaz got demoted and that she isn't the lowest ranked in her own ranking.

I'm willing to bet that Opal is a Pepeshi. They seem to fit the profile of being looking child-like but have the deep voice and personality of a full-grown adult.

[DafontaineArashi-zs]

So we have 3 hidden yet known emenators
Herta of erudition
Fu hua of hunt
Diamond of preservation
And 2 of these emenators are the types to share a fraction of their powers with their capable followers like the generals of the xianshou alliance and the ten stonehearts of ipc.

[blairwilliams]

i truly believe if aventurine ever does get a new path it’s gonna be harmony. The main may act like a villain but he has a lot of elements of blue latern of hope. never giving up and always looking upward

[Hyozanru]

Here's an interesting theory on situation about Agate. This might be reaching but they could be in the next destination of Astral Express, Amphoerus. That planet only on the scope of Garden of Recollection and yet to be visited even by Akivili themselves. But who knows Agate might have some dealings in the background unbenknownst to the rest of the Stonehearts.
