Au Ra Origins: The Dawn & Dusk Theory [Spoilers]

[Cilia]

If I recall rightly, Odin originates from a rebel of indeterminate race who took up Zantetsuken to rebel against Allag. He believed he could control the sword, but it ended up sundering (tempering) him and turning him into its first host. There's also something about Urth, a priestess, in there...

The Wind-up Odin minion states that he acquired the blade upon slaying an Auri warrior, which is why it has an Eastern (Japanese) game despite Odin himself being from Northern (Norse) mythology. We know this isn't exactly the case; one can only speculate that Zantetsuken's original host may have been from the North, and the "Odin" name is just passed down from host to host because people don't know any better.

Thank you for the info! I was thinking that maybe if Zantetsuken was an Auri blade it might have hinted that Au Ra were already here when the Allagans were. But if Zantetsuken's first host became the "Odin" we know, it does make little sense that "Odin" took the blade (If I'm understanding it correctly). I mean the flavor text of the Odin minion is myth and legend too, after all. It also doesn't disprove that Au Ra could have been Allagan creations. Thanks again!
