KABOOM! Baseless Head-Canons [SPOILERS]

[Dualblade]

After blasting off to space, Hildibrand eventually crashed into the moon and interrupted Elidibus and WoD's conversation. As the Ascians were down three members, they made Hildibrand an honorary Ascian. That's why we haven't seen him lately: he's too busy making them into gentlemen and women. But Elidibus ain't having any of that, which is why he's never around the others for long,

So the new Hildi sidequests will be about us following him around because we can stop Ascians easier that way?

[Ziatrix]

Oooh, Head-canons and crackpot theories? I have one!

The WoL is a reincarnation of Ratatoskr.

The irony is delicious.

[Viridiana]

The irony is delicious.

Is it as delicious as dragon eye, though?

Gerolt is really Rhalgr, or at least, an avatar of Rhalgr.

I haven't decided on the "story" that has him in Hyrstmill re-forging Relics for the Warrior of Light, but I'm sure it's a good one, involving a masterful plot to liberate Ala Mhigo.

It would fit the classic mold of narrative causality, the wandering smith who's there precisely when the Hero needs a smith - like Brigid of the Tuatha, or Wayland...

Actually, since Rahlgr is The Destroyer, it's make more since for Gerolt to be Bygrot the Builder.

Head-canon: Elidibus likes to be in strict control at all times; any objects he owns or tends to must be organized and cleaned to the utmost of his ability. He gets anxiety and becomes grumpy when they're not. A wrinkle in his robes basically just stops his day from progressing entirely.

Thordan never stopped having affairs with women. Age doesn't stop men like him. I see him as the Hugh Hefner of FFXIV; it's Ishgard's worst-kept secret.

Kan-E-Senna is prone to sea and airship sickness.

Actually, since Rhalgr is The Destroyer, it's make more since for Gerolt to be Byregrot the Builder.

Thought about that. But. Gerolt seems to sneak Rhalgr's symbol onto every piece he makes.

Unless it's just a tribute to dear old Dad?

Or "See, I can't be Byregot, why would I put Dad's symbol on my stuff?"

Or...

Actually, since Rahlgr is The Destroyer, it's make more since for Gerolt to be Bygrot the Builder.

But the Destroyer WOULD make the best weapons of war, would he not?

[Zephanoa]

Yda's face is always hidden because secretly she is a princess of Ala Mhigo.

It would be hard to navigate around the world if everyone recognized you.

[Twailaith]

Ramuh, Lord of the Levin and arguably the most human of the Primals. Wise beyond mortal ken and older than modern civilisation, his fury shakes the heavens and makes the earth tremble in his passing...

...When he's not busy putting the fear of God into arrogant mortals, he enjoys sitting down under the trees in a quiet meadow and telling the Sylphs fairytales and stories.

The Adamantoise Mount from the Gold Saucer is actually Teledji Adeledji's Giant Tortoise from the Heroes in a Halfshell Guildhest adopted by Gildbert after it's owner had no further use for it. ((There are probably aesthetic differences and technically they aren't the same species, but I am willing to ignore these things.))
