What are the Pathwalkers

[TinyRedLeaf]

Iceheart is likely just one of those people who saw a meteor shower one day and started having Echo visions like so many others.

Exactly. It has been heavily implied that Hydaelyn is "dead". Or, at the very least, she has gone silent and no longer speaks to her "children". The meteor shower may have been a "birth" event of sorts, with Hydaelyn seeding the land with as many possible Echo-users as possible.

Over time, some have gone astray. Others have died. And today, only two are officially known to remain.

Three, if we count Iceheart as well.


P/S: For some reason, I'm suddenly reminded of salmon. The fries that became the users of the Echo fought the circumstances of their time, seeking eventually to return "home". And now, only the two strongest remain.

True, but Hydaelyn has only gone silent very recently. Iceheart most likely had the Echo long before the battle with Ultima. There are also officially at least a few more Echo users. Early on when we have the vision of the mothercrystal, there are other adventurers there too.

Also, I just remembered. Louisoix saved a lot of people that were at Carteneau. We know at least one Echo-user (Derplander) was saved, so it's possible many others were too.
