Oh oh! Primals don't like WATER! Wait a tick......



That's where that son-of-a-gun has been, he keeps getting stuck in the water...... I kid, I kid.



But this is interesting, so far we have primal sealed in an lunar orbital satellite structure, sealed in/beneath Silvertear and then Odin sealed in the crystal of Urth's Gift (the gift is that Urth sealed him - he kept 90k'ing the Allagans while they were trying to xp).

Interesting side note: Since we brought up Silvertear Lake, I just uncovered a tid-bit from my 1.0 notes. In 1.0 we had to run a crystal out to Mor Dhona near the Silvertear shore. Interestingly, it would have put us just north, if not dead-on the Crystal Tower's entrance location (which may be sort of odd if they ever try to reconnect the Western Shroud).

The point of taking this crystal was to deaspect it. By simply burying it and waiting a bit, you could allow that area to purge that crystal of all its elemental properties. Something in Mor Dhona (at least in 1.0) could drain a crystal of its elemental aspect, and its possible that the primals were sealed there and drained of their powers because it served to weaken them, thus allowing the sealing - at least from the point of view of 1.0's storyline. It was not the primals themselves draining the power, they were gone from the area at the point 1572, they had been released in 1562 by the Agrius.

Food for thought, maybe well learn as we climb that tower...
