Speaking of New Characters, I'm thinking that Nimue is the villain of the arc. (Or she might just be the vessel of Darkness, since she's the first One.)

That'll be nice, but I feel that these new characters are like a pitstop on the road to Eradicating the Darkness. Herc and Meg, and even the DG is simply involved because they somehow got marked for death or something. So, it'll feel like a legit pit stop and it'll be obvious why the characters are gone after the arc because it was like trvelling through a town for a short time.

It does make the whole dropping prior arc characters down a plot hole more smooth and not as obvious.
