What happened to SB (story)?

[Kallera]

At this point I'm kinda hoping that Eldibus's goal really is making the last calamity occur on Garlean soil and leaving the WoL and their allies with the check in a brutal twist of "we couldn't have done this without you". Because the devs seem determined to keep the Garleans losing battles in the most ridiculous manner. The scientist's description of what the Garleans found when they first fled there makes it a good setup, and it offers the whammy of killing the reputation of the WoL and anyone blessed with the echo for causing the end of days.
