Wait but wasnt it said in cannon that the reason they were extinct was because they disrupted the homespectrum in the sense that, well, in simple terms, they were too OP for someone in the lower midblood section
It’s never been mentioned why they were hunted to extinction as far as I can recall. Vaguely implied but not told any specifics? I’ll have to look it up later.
UU: on the other hand, those of my blood coloUr were once actUally qUite common! bUt later they were all hUnted to extinction.
GG: Jeez. Why?
UU: details of the genocide are historically mUrky. it’s one of those maddening voids in my Understanding of yoUr elaborate epic.
UU: bUt i have specUlated their extermination had to do with the extremely powerfUl abilities they tended to have, and the threat to aUthority they represented. even more so than other powerfUl lowbloods.
There we go.
However, the ‘powerful ability’ could be kind of a misleading thing- Something to disrupt the authority could have just as well been, as many headcanon, pacifying powers that disrupt how prone to violence Trolls are.
Having a high chance of having First Guardian-like Lusii, definitely sounds like it’d fit the bill of being too powerful though, which is a sort of crack-theory of mine at the moment.
Also- Of course we all know the TRUE reason they went extinct is that Alternia is ruled by Lord English, so of course there’d be a Lime Extermination some way. But there was some unknown biological catalyst.
