★Lux Corrupta★
FFXV Ardyn Zine

Title meaning "Corrupted Light" in Latin
One of the most interesting aspects of Ardyns character & story is his 'Duality'. The man vs the monster, light vs dark, dawn vs dusk, the past vs the present... etc as well as the inner turmoil between duty and revenge.
Our understanding of this wonderful complexity is unique to each person in our community & this zine will be aimed at sharing these perspectives.

FAQ

Q: The zine theme is a little vague can you explain more?
A: So the theme is about Ardyns character and how he is viewed and portrayed. Some look at how he was betrayed and feel pity for how he turned from the path of the healer. Others see him as the horrible villain who drove himself to the dark side. For most it is both. It is that duality and allure in his character that many of us find not only fascinating to learn about, but also inspiring to create works based off. We often imagine what his childhood was like and what thoughts ran through his head during certain events. Its not as easy as just what's good and bad or right and wrong so I hope the zine will reflect this.Q: What story content will be included?
A: The zine will be Canon-compliant however may also contain exploration of aspects that were not explained via official media.Q: What other characters are included?
