Connection Between The Twelve and the Allagan

[treuhavik]

So, while we still can't explain the similarities between Dalamund and the second prison that began forming around Bahamut in the End of an Era trailer, I think I may be on to something with the Allagan and ascension after all...

[Spoilers Below!]


At the end of the 2.4 story, Minfilia drops some hints on the next patch, the next crystal tower expansion. Now, I forget the exact wording but Minfilia says the students of Baldesion have been disappearing from all over Eorzea, along with what I believe is their home island...and that they were studying/practicing some sort of ancient ritual ("reunion"?). Reunion is what I took away at least.

The students of Baldesion that we've encountered so far have turned out to be Allagan, no?

Could it be that these Allagan "students" are studying the ancient knowledge of their people, their goal being spiritual enlightenment (ascension), allowing them to reunite with the rest of their people in a higher plane? It may be a stretch but I can't help but jump at any hint toward my existing theory being correct.

What, if not ascension, could be happening to these "students", and who is their teacher, Baldesion?
