Il Mheg 1/2 of two mirrored zones?

On the other hand, the bright light does give it an otherworldy aura. This might be a preview of the Flood of Light that's been hinted at in the last few MSQ, and perhaps even a hint that Ultima is close in nature to it. Or something along those lines.

Fran mentions the guardians seem to have been sealing the aetheric mist that was leaking from where we find the imprisoned Ultima.

So it may be an avatar of the Flood of Light?
much like when we fight the cloud of darkness we only defeat its "avatar" which the cloud "quickly" remakes and we escape from.

The World of Darkness is our only confirmed instance of dimensional travel so far.

confirmed that we do for the 24person raids

lets not forget it is not / be read that it is the only time we have been off the source.

2 other times we have left the source are

Here as we head to the Chrysalis


and the majority of Omega's "bend in time" raids happen off the source on a pocket dimensions created by Omega.

it took a lot of energy to get to the Void,

No the crystal towers gate to the 13th was using a tremendous amounts of energy because it was trying to open up a gate big enough for the entire Cloud of darkness to pass over from the 13th to the source. This is from Xande's pact with the cloud of darkness. Something so big that it has engulfed the remains of 13th shard.

from what we've been told traveling the Aetherial Sea to reach another Shard requires sacrificing one's physical form.

"Told" and again we have 5 examples where sacrificing one's physical form is not the case to get to another shard.

World of Darkness
◾WoL
◾G'raha Tia
◾Nero
◾Unei
◾Doga
- lesser extent Cid with him poking his head in to save Nero

The list gets longer when you add all the other times dimensional travel has happened to pocket realms.

Chrysalis
◾WoL again
◾Minfilia
◾Nabriales' claimed body?

omega's pocket realms
◾WoL again
◾Cid
◾Nero again
◾Biggs
◾Wedge

Only three/four form those lists of those have "the echo" WoL, Minfilia and G'raha Tia /Nabriales?


it also brings into question whats happening here. Is it us going to this location dimensional? like a Calling maybe?

I'll reply more later a few things to do 1st
