Wakfu/Headscratchers

• A desert? On an archipelago?
  • Unintuitive, but no. Deserts can form perfectly fine next to oceans, just ask Peru. It's perfectly plausible, using Earth geophysics, that the desert part of the archipelago is engulfed in cold, rain-swallowing currents.
  • Plus the Wakfu world has suffered an earth-shattering cataclysm a few years back, which completely reshaped the geography. Note that the previously mentioned desert stands right next to a green, grassy plain with no consequences at all.
• If Nox can fly, what's the point of all those moving platforms in his base? He just hovers over them.
  • It's possible that he couldn't always fly, or at least couldn't when he made his clock-mech. This is supported in the prequel episode's climax, where he raises the earth he's standing on instead of simply levitating. Or perhaps he was thinking about his flightless minions when he had them installed. Just throwing it out there.
• Okay, so I don't know Dofus, I just finished Wakfu, and I haven't read any of the comics (since I can't find them). So, by any chance, could someone explain to me who the hell is Master Joris and where does he come from? I mean, he completely destroyed an energy throwing machine that owned most members of the Five-Man Band, to the extent of killing one of them, and he did it in one blow! so he MUST be someone, and must surely have its own relevant backstory.
  • Though Razortime was already seriously damaged by the fight. All Joris did was deliver the finishing blow.
  • Joris does have a relevant backstory, it just hasn't been revealed yet. Ankama has announced that they are producing a feature-length film about him, which will then lead in to a Dofus cartoon. No word on whether or not he'll have any more of a significant role in Wakfu than he does already, though.
• Where the hell can I watch this series? It looks very interesting, but I can't seem to find any episodes.
  • You won't find it streaming online outside of the official website (1 episode/week, generally), but you can buy the first season on DVD from Ankama Shop (both being French-language only). Otherwise you'll have to download it illegally; googling "wakfu fansub" comes up with many relevant results if you want to watch it in English.
  • Google 'The Brotherhood of the Tofu'. :)
• Okay, a pretty minor one, but... why would Maude wear Facial Markings when she has to hide her face behind a mask at all time?
  • She only has to hide her face when on the field.
• How can Anathar create portals to the Shushu realm (dozens of them!) when it took a monumental amount of energy and concentration for Adamaï and Qilby to do the same? Why does Rushu need his own Eliatrope at all?
  • The land of the Shushus is where Anathar belongs; I imagine it would have been easy for him to make a portal to there compared to Adamaï and Qilby, who have never been (?). Him being able to create portals was temporary, as well -- he could only do it because he touched an Eliatrope, so Rushu's probably looking for the real deal.
