Sha’arnez: how to romance them in The Thunderstorms Saga

Verdict: all paid, cheaper than Tai

Sha'arnez costs 622 diamonds, less than Tai at 847 and far more than Aldir at 143. None of his 14 steps is free. His route starts in Season 2, Episode 1, so Season 1 is yours to play for anyone. The story is still coming out, and Season 4 already holds his two biggest choices.

Where the diamonds go

Season 2 is seven steps, 230 diamonds, nothing above 45:

• Episode 1, The Flight: "Your embarrassment is amusing, Lord Genash." for 22 and "Do not let go of his gaze." for 45.
• Episode 9, The Border: "But oddly, I'm not sleepy at all." — 44.

Season 3 is light: three steps for 76.

Season 4:

• Episode 7, The Web of Espionage: "I will find Genash." — 146.
• Episode 2: "Hug Sha'arnez" — 95.
• Episode 6, The Smoke: "Shall we stay here a little longer?" — 53.
• Episode 5, The Wedding: "And are you opposed, Lord?" — 22.

How I'd play it

Pay Seasons 2 and 3 as you go: 306 diamonds, no single shock. In Season 4, I'd save the 146 and the 95 for Diamond Rush on a separate slot. New episodes may add to the bill. Compare with Tai or Aldir.
