The Seventh Umbral Age is Upon Us

[whoopeeragon]

We can all but speculate, but it's interesting to see what people's minds can contemplate to these matters of mysterious lore. After all, if we do nothing but argue and whine, it'll be quite a bore.

The Garleans are after the primals, not so much us.

They went right past Gridania towards Dravania (where the Wyrmking resides), but got decimated midway.

Wyrmking = Bahamut = King of Primals- it's more likely than you think.

I also believe this. But something comes to mind...

If they skipped Gridania, what exactly was going on in Ala Mhigo to be attacked?
SPOILER:

Did someone from our races learned how we can summon our primal like Ifrit says?

[whoopeeragon]

Since it said that Highlanders fled from Ala Mhigo, perhaps their female counterparts managed to learn how to summon them....hmmm...

They were simply in the way/the Empire wanted some control in the Aldenard region?

But what if the empire is not that evil? What if the empire is only after the primals?
Then something must've happened in Ala Mhigo. This is getting intense lol

They've done some pretty evil things. They try to make us fight against the primals so that they don't have to, for one. They are sinking our ferries, for two. lol.

I don't think they're 'good guys'. Their intentions are just not what you might have thought firsthand.

Thats what I think, the Garleans may turn out to be the lesser of the two evils. Someone explained it better than I can by saying, it could be an enemy of my enemy situation we have going on.

We don't know what they are after, to me it looks like they are trying to prevent something, possibly the start of the 7th Umbral Era which the Primals may well cause.

All we know is that Garlean activity is rising rapidly and it seems like they are gearing for an attack, but are the Garleans responsible for the weather and all the other strange things happening. I wouldn't have thought so, something else is afoot here as well.

Well, I've picked up some new dialogue, not sure if it fits, but it mentions the Seventh Umbral Age:

Gegeissa: But sadly, it bore grim news. It seems bold souls claiming to be the Archons of legend have begun appearing across the realm. And what's worse, they claim to herald the coming of the seventh Umbral Era.

Gegeissa: Come to think, I once read a prophecy about the seventh Umbral Era in one the tomes at Arrzaneth Ossuary─though years of youthful excess have left my memory in far too sorry a state to recall all the details.

Gegeissa: Anyway, there isn't a soul south of the Bloodbrine who hasn't heard tales and songs of the Archons coming to Eorzea, imparting to all the will of the Twelve. Never thought I'd see it in my own lifetime, though!

Gegeissa: Do you think this might have something to do with the beasts growing larger in recent days?

Gegeissa: Forget I said it. Worrying will do us no good. For now, I am simply glad that you and the carrier chocobos are safe. Here you are, then─payment in full.
