Revelations from Patch 4.4

[Theodric]

The Black Rose:

Gaius suspects that the Ascians are responsible for making use of the Black Rose. This could very well be true, though I reckon there's another viable alternative. Zenos. The original one, that is. He did have access to pretty much everything in Ala Mhigo after all...and he's depraved enough to use it on a whim, perhaps in an effort to lure the Warrior of Light for another confrontation in the hope that he can get the true death that he desires? Even if the original Zenos is unrelated to the use of the poison, the fact that he did not show up at all in the latest batch of MSQ's makes me even more certain that he'll be dealt with as the final boss of 4.5 - as a loose end to tie up.

Makes a lot more sense why Varis spat on Solus' coffin in this scene now

I wonder when Varis discovered? I reckon Solus was the one who told him to go to war with his Uncle

I'm still trying to comprehend a few things...

I always thought that was his Uncle Titus' casket?

And secondly, our new Ascian being able to easily materialize a corporeal form at will (while the first one is still lying lifeless nearby) is quite interesting and throws out a few Ascian speculations out the window.
