LORE QUESTION [ How did the snow came to Coerthas? ]

[StianGold]

Hello!

Just had a lore question! How did the snow came to Coerthas?
In 1.0 there was so no snow!
Me and a friend of me was exploring Coerthas in latest beta test and we found a NPC in the behemoth place. And i said what the h*** is this NPC doing here? It was a npc without a name just a NPC with a book that he readed from.

And he said maybe studing how the snow came to Coerthas.
And thats where i get this question?
If someone know how the snow came to Coerthas place tell!

hopping for answers.
Btw i love lore!

This is just a theory, but...

My idea of it was that when the Calamity happened and Bahamut got released, all of Eorzea's aether went pretty much haywire, as aether sometimes does when a primal is summoned. While the aether imbalance fixed itself up pretty quickly with linkpearls being usable again not too long after, I don't think the aether levels went back to normal in a lot of places. (for example, the dead areas of the Black Shroud, or that shiny crystal place in Western Thanalan, etc.) I'm not sure if aether could affect the weather, per se, but there are little signs that show it, like there being a little more rain in Thanalan than there was in 1.0. So then the snow in Coerthas would be an extreme effect of this; maybe the aether just went crazy up there and it drastically changed the weather patterns.

Maybe those big bad giants summoned Shiva.

I agree with the idea that the Giants Summoned her and she spread across the area. Seeing as Cor was pretty barren in 1.0 and the Aether was amassed there the Giants may have then had the ability to summon their once dormant Primal.
But more importantly the open question of WHERE IN THE NAME OF THE TWELVE IS BAHAMUT!?!?!?!?!?!

Hmm might be thx for good answers

i had assumed it was akin to a nuclear winter, since the final battle took place in Coerthas, and Bahamut pretty much tore the aether asunder with his release.

Thought the shiva summoning theory is also pretty good.

The final battle took place in Mor Dhona....

Could have sworn we ended up in Coerthas before the end. I know the Garlean base was in Mor Dhona, but i was almost certain we were called to fall back in Coerthas for the final bout.

Edit: No, you're quite right, Carteneau plains are still in Mor Dhona. Not sure why i thought it was in Coerthas.

It's not snow. It's ash. From all the folks burned by megaflare.
