It's far too dark and obscured to be anything other than just a background rock.

    As for the latest 'New Year's Prophecy from Louisoix's Journal', again I'm going to play devil's advocate here, put on my 'Scully' hat and be the skeptic - and it all comes down to the Gerun Oracles. Remember in the final scene of 3.1 where
    Urianger was with Elidibus and Evil!Derplander apparently somewhere in the Great Gubal Library, and he is handed a book from the Gerun Oracles from Elidibus which Urianger immediately scoffs at and dismisses it as 'apocrypha' (meaning it's accuracy or canon has long since been debunked and abandoned):

    Hence, although there are some interesting aspects of this latest (and perhaps last?) prophecy from Louisoix, when viewed with information already shown and hinted at - it's accuracy does raise more questions than answers. But hey, I'm often wrong so take my ramblings with a grain of salt.

    Does that really apply in a virtual world? I mean someone made that scene, unless they're specifically trying to mess with us, that's a dead-ringer for the Zodiark statue seen in previous Ascian cutscenes. It was put there for a reason, this verse now alluding to the Moon and Him just further solidifies the idea. The Gerun Oracles wouldn't be coming up now if it wasn't relevant, either it's "the truth" -and it's high time we actually learned something about that -or everyones favorite Ascian is deliberately messing with us, and the developers are getting meta and doing so as well... Would certainly be an interesting idea, but I seem to recall mention of the whole Ascian plot being cleared up (but perhaps not entirely finished) in 3.0s cycle, so I'd assume the former is more likely...

    Petition to rename Elidibus to Mr Quackers? All in agreement? Good.
