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?
You mean "Rejoining". Which is dimensional compression. The Isle of Val simply disappeared from reality. Disappearing from reality + stuff with dimension = went into another dimension. Willingly or not, it's the most likely explanation.

The Students of Baldesion aren't Allagan, Doga and Unei were because they were clones. Big difference. Also, it's a bit fuzzy since it was 3 months ago, but didn't they lie about being from the Students?

Finally, we know there's a Krile in the Students of Baldesion, and in FFV there's ac character named Krile Baldesion ;o Either her, or someone from her family.
