I ran Reforged and LBFH last night. I also went to the doc appointment yesterday and they drained my abscess and packed it. So it’s draining more.
I’m noticing emo shifts (mostly bouts of sadness) which I suspect is related to the drainage. That whole body storing emotions thing. Going back today to have the packing removed.
This is not a question that we are qualified to answer. The Resonance Check article will help with this, however: New Support Article: Resonance and Alignment Checking
Using the strategies here, you can analyze your inner reaction to the copy, which would be far more effective (in my opinion) than anyone external giving information.
Idk if it’s already been asked, what would happen if Reforged and OG Emperor were played, I am asking cause I have a name embed with RCH and OG Emperor and I am getting a name embed with Reforged and C&C.
Shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a much easier stack than what most of you are used to running.
Stacking with Stabilizer for now…
What’s going to happen with Reforged + Heartsong? Does the new tech in E:Reforged overflow into HS older tech?
I’m going to let qOS answer the first question. As for the second, yes – theoretically (and what we’ve observed), it should. But if Heartsong or the topics it covers could trigger recon, it will still occur (just at a diminished level, due to Reforged’s inclusion).
On the topic of Reforged + Heartsong, from qOS:
These two work beautifully together because they split the work of love cleanly: Heartsong handles the connection, and Emperor Reforged handles the man inside it.
Where they overlap
Both touch romance from the same healthy starting point — relating from fullness rather than need. Heartsong heals old romantic wounds so you can love freely; Reforged removes the bracing, chasing, and auditioning so you can love without losing yourself. Different routes to the same thing: a heart that’s open without being desperate.
How they complement each other
Heartsong is the romance specialist. It helps you understand your own “heart song” — what your love actually needs — sharpens your intuition for the right partner, creates that mutual, magnetic attraction, heals past relationship trauma, and deepens the bond and communication once someone’s in your life. It’s pointed entirely at the connection.
Emperor Reforged isn’t a romance title — it’s a whole-man title, and romance is one room in it. Its love work is about the posture you bring: presence, emotional availability, desire without neediness, warmth without weakness, and the ability to hold intimacy without abandoning yourself. It builds the grounded man; Heartsong builds the relationship that man steps into.
How they synergize
The synergy runs in both directions.
Reforged settles the sovereign, non-needy center — which is exactly the kind of fullness Heartsong’s attraction works best from. A grounded man emits a cleaner signal, so the draw Heartsong creates lands truer.
And Reforged covers Heartsong’s main failure point: the moment after attraction, when self-doubt or neediness can make a man chase, perform, or shrink. Reforged keeps the throne intact while the heart opens — so the love Heartsong attracts and deepens is met by someone who won’t lose himself in it.
Heartsong opens the heart and finds the connection; Reforged makes sure the man holding it stays whole.
One note
These two sit on different generations of the technology and emphasize different domains, so they stack comfortably — just keep to conservative microloops and real rest days, and let each have room to express.
Would a name embed dual core of Emperor + Emperor Reforged work?
Yes, they stack well together. Will heighten the results of both.
How did the new build itself feel? Smoother?
As @SaintSovereign has pointed out, this (and many spiritual path questions) is going to be something only you’re qualified to answer, as your definitions for example of “mystic” and “Godhood” may vary from somebody else’s.
Speaking from the perspective of someone involved on their own personal spiritual path, which may or may not resonate with your own, I have found Reforged helpful in similar ways. The features I personally have found the most resonant are: Inner Coronation, Power from Within, Knowledge as Wealth, The Settled Presence, Walking the Emperor’s Path, The Crown Settled. The others are also resonant to me, but not as deeply as the others. YMMV.
One thing I can say about it is that if you have any self made pretensions about your own spirituality or sovereignty, E:R will nudge you to become aware of them, and help you in softening them. It helps to cut the bullshit (or as the copy calls it, the performance) and self imposed limitations. It works from a place of “deepening being” as the copy points out, which sounds like it would accomplish the same thing as what you were saying.
But judge for yourself, of course 
When you say pretensions, do you mean in the direction of some kind of arrogance or self aggrandizement?
Has it helped you become more humble, then?
Remember that things may not come out right online, so I have to ask – is this question being asked in good faith?
What I mean is what I meant.
Speaking personally, I’ve always been pretty brutally honest with myself about where I’m at in my self development, and at times perhaps even gone in the other direction, self critical of not having gone far enough. This as I discovered comes back to my own self imposed limitations which are generational and like many people’s primary limitations, indicated by the position of Saturn in the natal chart.
In the past I have had a tendency to overcompensate in the direction of “humble” due to my own unique psychological makeup. E:R has been providing more self-awareness towards not being so hard on myself, and not having to apologise for having an opinion, etc.
However for others, it may have that effect. It depends on the nature of your own self imposed limitations and where you’re “putting on a performance”. The more you shift towards genuine sovereignty, the less capable you are of lying to yourself, as all aspects of the subconscious gradually become rectified in that fusion between body and sovereign-spirit-consciousness.
I am very much looking forward to my new custom with Reforged, stark, and executive ….
Can’t wait to see what I feel after a week or 2
Can you qos what that setup would do
Thank you @SaintSovereign for that analysis. It was helpful.
Also, I have reached 750 posts. Assuming SubClub Elites hasn’t changed, that should put me as a “Junior Alchemist” and raise my discount to 15%. Can you confirm if that’s correct? Do I need to write a support ticket? I’m looking to purchase the full version of Reforged and would appreciate the additional discount.
Thanks again for a great 4 years and your and the community’s support along the way.
Ran 3 minutes this morning, which is what I have been running for the experimental at. Didn’t have much recon with the experimental either tbh, there has been a lot of processing and realizations; but it’s felt under the surface and non recon causing. Kind of like processing in the background.
Ran it with 2 minutes of dream boy as I’m having a huge party for my birthday all weekend, so I’ll report on the synergy after the weekend
Absolutely, already did and plan to make a name embed or single core custom with it once I have it drawn up.
Note: I went ahead and submitted a ticket.
Terrific. Look forward to your success.
