The Dark Divinity 3.0

[Belhi]

During the 14th anniversary they mentioned that the story of Odin is a bit different to 'official' version in Eorzea. Odin was a Hero who came south to protect Urth, who was infact an enemy of the Allag. To try and combat the Allag he found and wielded a cursed sword Zantetsuken but eventually succumbed to it becoming the Odin we know today.

Odin is however an example of a rather unique primal and goes to show our understanding of Eikons is still limited. Further it raises the question where the sword originally came from. There is also the question on why Odin's original personality seems to be dominant still after several body swaps if the sword itself is the primal.
