Lore Book Revelations

[Fevelle]

One interesting thing I noticed in the section on voidsent is the mention that Cuchulainn was once a champion who wielded auracite to control primals, which seems to imply that many of the higher tier voidsent are actually corrupted warriors of light?

I think this is just an allusion to FFT's Cardinal Delacroix, Cuchulainn's host.

That suggests that Unukalhai's world was the 13th and he is a 'survivor' of it falling into void. That's very interesting.

I thought that was obvious. Unukalhai's world was destroyed. The only one of the fragments to get destroyed was the 13th.

Is there any information on Ysayle?

It seems I've seen pages/ info on just about every other topic/ character except her.

I'm still missing a lot. Rowena, Yugiri, any of the Mandervilles, Matoya, and Ysayle.

That's not true. Actually technically the 13th wasn't destroyed as much as turned into a void of darkness.

However 7 worlds have been destroyed. that's what happens whenever there is a calamity.

Didn't ask originally because I honestly didn't expect there to be anything, but is there anything on G'raha Tia? He had some sort of vague background with Ramnbroes (who now has a surname!) Zasertylsyn that I'm wondering if that little detail got filled in at all.

[Theodric]

I'm still missing a lot. Rowena, Yugiri, any of the Mandervilles, Matoya, and Ysayle.

Pretty sure I saw them all in the book - even if it was just a little bit of information on each. I haven't read through it all yet though.

[FJerome]

There's really very little about either Ysayle or G'raha that we didn't already get in the game.

G'raha Tia's famous ancestor was named Desch and as his descendants grew more distant it began to be that only one child per generation was born with the eye. G'raha was shunned for it, which I think he did tell us, and began to study in Sharlayan to figure out if the family stories about it were true or not (the way it's worded implies he's not originally from Sharlayan but it's very vague) and was picked up by the Students of Baldesion because of that. He's 24, likes reading outdoors and has a lovely singing voice.

Ysayle's surname is Dangoulain . . . aaaaaaaaaand that's it. Damn it, Ysayle, even Estinien kind of had a hobby.

(Speaking of Estinien's hobby, I do wonder if Nidnogg's delay in reappearing in the MSQ after 3.0 was down to him having to get to grips with his burning desire for vengeance suddenly being interrupted every time he spotted a delicious-looking aldgoat or a mouth-watering cloudfish.)

[Fenral]

G'raha Tia's famous ancestor was named Desch

That part has been my headcanon for years, but I'm glad it's been upgraded all the same.

The rest was easy enough to figure out from his extra dialogue, except for the age (everyone's older than they look) and the part about the singing voice (I guess he's a Bard, not just an Archer? Suddenly I want him to be the Allagan equivalent of a Reyvateil). No explanation for the Scion tattoo on his arm?

Anyway, thanks a bunch!

(Poor Ysayle...)

[Morningstar1337]

No explanation for the Scion tattoo on his arm?

The tatoo is for sages of Sharlayan, The Circle of Knowing (and by extension the Scions) just happened to have a lot of Sages. Maybe G'raha is a Sage of Allagan research or archeology or something?

[Alberel]

That's not true. Actually technically the 13th wasn't destroyed as much as turned into a void of darkness.

However 7 worlds have been destroyed. that's what happens whenever there is a calamity.

I think Balipu worded it awkwardly, but his point was correct. Unukulhai's story told of how his world was consumed by darkness and lost due to great warriors using primal-infused auracite that slowly corrupted them. Since we know all the other lost reflection worlds were Rejoined via calamity it was logical deduction that Unukulhai's world had to have been the 13th as it was the only one to have been lost due to a Flood of Darkness as he described.

Essentially Unukulhai came from a world that was outright lost instead of Rejoined and 3.4 revealed that only one world had thus far been lost in such a way: the 13th. Thus the 13th had to be Unukulhai's world.

There was speculation immediately following 3.4 that all the ruling tier voidsent were the 13th's WoLs that Unukulhai spoke of. The lorebook has at least confirmed one such to be true. I wonder if the Cloud of Darkness and Scathach may be corrupted warriors as well.
