 Xarsa has a clear vision that aligns closely to the Eternal Order. She will serve her purpose best as a Visionary. She is already a skilled diplomat, thus placing her within the Diplomat division would be natural. However, considering her well-honed capacity of strategic thinking, ties to the members of the Prometheus project, and her influence within Eunomia, the Committee recommends placing her in the Councillor division. Her journey from a Champion to a Potential and then a Visionary would also serve as a clear positive example of what the Iridescent Provinces can achieve.

 ==== Film Review ====
-Review of the film in Despina’s eternity
+The film is a lurid spectacle. Nothing less, nothing more. As someone who's into Eunomian history, I just want to say that it definitely wasn't historical. There are far too many inaccuracies in the film for me to list them here (technically I can, but that would bore everyone, including me; also someone's probably made a Spacetube video about it somewhere already), so I will just point out the most striking few that not only deviate from history but also make the characters significantly different from the real historical figures.
+. There is much evidence supporting the theory that Xarsa was working with (and likely also monitoring) F.L. before F.L. went too far. It was almost certain that it couldn't have been a "sudden betrayal" on F.L./Despina's part. They were both politicians, as much as that word applies in an Eunomian context. It takes two to play the game.
+. Xarsa was a Councillor (Visionary) long before F.L.'s death. The assassination of Failing Light could not retrospectively "promote" her to Visionary status. The whole "To make Eunomia better, I must become a Councillor. If that means the sacrifice of a former friend is necessary, then so be it" arc is simply wrong. Also that's not how it works. You don't become a Visionary for killing a threat. That's a Champion's job anyway. The fact that Visionary Xarsa took Failing Light's life herself, despite that she is no longer a Champion is in itself symbolically very interesting. But that's not how the story the film chose to tell, so, well.
+. As far as we know, Xarsa did not actually obtain permission to assassinate F.L. beforehand, presumably because she feared that F.L. may have infiltrated the government? If you look into it, there's record that Xarsa was in fact //pardoned//, meaning that she did break the law. She took the mission on her own initiative. Interesting, right?
