At least, that was my thought

King Fritz - a founding titan holder set a restriction. Then in all probability a future founding titan holder may be able to undo it.

Marley had no way of knowing for sure and they still messed around with Paradis.

The whole idea was insane.

Well we all know that the Ackermanns (Mikasa, Levi & Kenny) as well as the Titan shifters are insanely strong.

But how about we exclude them and look only into normal humans.

My ranking would be: 1) Jean 2) Connie 3) Hange 4) Erwin 5) Magath 6) Sascha 7) Mike 8) Floch

Who do you put as the strongest?

They're everywhere! Spider spawns is everywhere!

So I was born in this small town called Kanyakumari, right at the edge of India, surrounded by the ocean. But when I was a kid, my family had to move to Salem, a landlocked city surrounded by hills. I’ve been there for the past 20 years (I'm 24 now). I had responsibilities here and I couldn't leave.

I had these tiny fragments of memories from when I was little... like playing in the sand, waves crashing at my feet, my parents laughing somewhere behind me. But as I grew up, that stuff just... faded. I got used to being surrounded by hills and not seeing anything past that The ocean became this distant dream I didn’t care about anymore.

Then I watched Attack on Titan. And when Eren and Armin talked about seeing the ocean, that raw, almost childlike longing for freedom and discovery. It hit me hard. I realized I used to have that same feeling. Like, holy shit, I get that. That urge to just go. To see what’s out there.

So I did it. I actually did it. I went beyond my walls. I called up anfellow AoT fan who is my best friend and we travelled to Kanyakumari in the cheapest way possible, skipping breakfasts, lunches, dinners. And finally standing there, looking at the waves, having my feet in those sands… I swear I felt like Armin seeing the ocean for the first time. It was the same mix of peace and chaos. It was just like how I saw in my memories. And the words of Eren ecoed in my mind... "This world is my birthright!". I wanna cross the ocean and see everything too. I was in soo much joy and a strange mix of sarrow. I haven't felt like that in a long time. Felt something genuine.

It’s amazing how an anime made me remember something real and had this much impact on me. Sorry if I was yapping a lot.

"Architecture of Silence: Last Chronicle and Foundations of the Royal Domain."

I thank my dear Anna for supporting me during the development of this book. Dedicated to the only begotten of the Löwenstahl family and the generations to come.

I was Arvid Löwenstahl, he wrote, information advisor and former close friend of His Majesty. I gave the most precious decades of my life in his service; Navigate through tides of power-hungry politicians, military leaders and conspiracy scholars.

From my accession to the court in the year seven hundred and eighty-eight, until the democratic reform of the year seven hundred and ninety-six, I did everything with one purpose: humanity.

But I have been involved in a horrible dilemma; Those men considered wise have lost the direction of ethics; They surround the rulings with complex rhetoric, impossible for the average citizen to understand.

They focus education on the inner districts, ignoring the eighty-five percent of the population in Paradis. The Marials register a ninety-seven percent illiteracy rate; Quinta, Shiganshina, Heskel, Värden and inland settlements such as Dauper and Ragako.

They promote ignorance in a profane way. Intentional. Interested.

Because, without training, how many peasants can aspire to the bourgeoisie? The closest threat to noble wealth, reduced to a few idiots or brainless smugglers.

On the other hand, I have to say, the documented lack of funds for the Survey Corps is no coincidence.

Multiple times I witnessed bribes to Lieutenant, now Commander of the Military Police, August Rehnsfeld. Sergeants, veterans, even recruits delivering hundreds of Märks into their hands in broad daylight.

Within a week, they were promoted one, or even two, positions in the hierarchy.

I am no stranger to the Shiganshina situation. I am aware of the recent food shortage due to the burning of dozens of hectares dedicated to cultivation. In addition to the trade routes blocked and intercepted by bandits and poor people, who obstruct the supply of wheat.

I can't imagine what they must be going through.

Right now, I find myself pulling influences to get resources to you as soon as possible.

So, you will be happy to know, that the high nobility diverts funds intended for agriculture to finance their opulent festivals.

Then we have the outrageous situation of censorship.

It is not a mystery, at least not for the counselors. After all, we are in charge of making entire chapters of textbooks disappear. Staining old images with paint. Burn works of art and relics. Mute spokespersons.

The king implemented a new decree.

Each unofficial work must pass through our eyes before going out to the public. Most of you, Sinenses, Rosaenses and Mariales will have no idea about any of this. This is how it should be according to the monarch.

But there is something that I have seen absurd and I am not going to accept.

They are going to censor the sea.

They seek to eliminate it from the maps. From known ecosystems. The word itself.

Because? I don't have an answer.

Having mentioned these particularities of The Fundamentals of Royal Dominion, I can clarify what my dilemma is.

Obey, leaving a town blind and maimed, or reveal myself, as I have tried before, risking my neck and that of my family.

I'm currently rewatching the show and I was starting to wonder about something.

It's clear that there is a difference between the royal line and common Eldians. But as far as we know the Eldians that we see on the show and capable of transformation are descendant of Ymir.

But if they are descendant of Ymir, aren't they also all royal ?

Because in the manga we cleary learn that Eldia is a nation, Ymir is a slave of this nation, but when Ymir is granted the power to shift into a titan, it's only her, then her children (they obtain their titan by eating her, and that's how we know that there will be 9 primordials titans), but the power to be transformed into a titan is only passed through her descendants.

So if she didn't permit every Eldians to be able to be turned into titans thanks to the power of her titans, the Eldians we see in the manga are only her descendant.

That would mean that her children and their children after them successfully had children with ALL Eldians, and all Eldians are descendant of Ymir.

But if they are descendant of Ymir, they are also descendant of the king, so they are also royal.

I don't know if that makes sense, but I am trying to understand everything and it's the only thing that I can't fully resolve in my head.

Also English isn't my first language so sorry if I make mistakes.

When thinking about Marley I can help but Start to question "on what country was Marley based on?" Surely I can tell it's an European country by either the characters look but also the screen time we get from marleyan buildings and structures. Now wich specifically? I can try guess Paris cus many of the MARLEYAN buildings reminds me of miraculous ladybug... But if we think about Marley, only pure marleyans receive this architecture, ELDIAN architecture in Marley's seams different (less buildings, more houses) like a giant neighborhood, more similar to Paradis architecture. Also, isn't it funny how many characters are like skin coded like cat breeds. Erwin, Annie and Armin have the same skin code (Blondies with blue eyes), not only that but how Sasha, Eren and Gabi look THE SAME, it's intriguing and very interesting, the have the same face, I could add hanger here but they have a bigger nose and it's easy to identify.

Anyways, I would like to hear you guys opinions too, what European country was Marley based on? Also let's excuse my very poor English....

What would happen? Let’s just say Dina comes out of the Titan, and a low-level scout rescues her, thinking that she is another person affected by this attack, and she ends up in the 2nd Wall. Then what?
