This is Part 4 of the Lore and Ludonarrative analysis of the Abyssal Hunters. We talk about Gladiia and Ulpianus as we analyze their lore and what this tells us about their gameplay, and help us unveil the less-than-perfect society Aegir turned out to be. And maybe by looking at the hunters as a whole, we see the answer the the Seaborn Problem.
