Il Mheg 1/2 of two mirrored zones?

[ObsidianFire]

Ahh... those last few hours of general ignorance before Fan-Fest when we as a fandom find out what is really going on...

the Pixies speak a unique language known as "FAE" and that puts them on par with dragons as time invested in their creation and key ShB MSQ importance as dragons for HW MSQ

It actually doesn't. The dragon language is in a class by itself since it was come up during 1.0's development. It had been in existence for over six years by the time Heavensward was launched. I'd say Fae is more similar to the Slyphs language which can be heard in Thunder Rolls, Rhamu's theme song.

Honestly if the 1st falls to light during MSQ for the love of all things holy lore team don't have it call the void too.

The lore team has called it a "Light Void" in interviews already. If just to use the term as a comparison to the current Void that already exists.

Maybe the Warrior of Darkness used Derplanders image so maybe.

The Derplander in the trailers is a different concept then the Derplander that is the Warrior of Darkness. The Derplander in the trailers is a stand in for our character. The Derplander that is the WoD is just what he looks like. The only reason the WoD would look similar to you as the WoL is if you made your WoL look like the Derplander in character creation. It's a cute in-joke, not much else.

the fact we can go there means that it is there.
need to remember the 13th shard is the most removed from the source so the least like it.

The fact that we can go to the Void and not the 13 Shard means the 13 Shard is no longer there. The Void is not the 13th Shard. It is the hole of where the 13 Shard used to be. Shards all have barriers that need to be crossed to enter them, and the barrier that kept the 13 Shard separate from all the other Shards/Source is gone because the 13th Shard is gone.

The implication of the 1st shard being "the closest to the source" in the 6D would mean the least amount of difference in time lines.

The Source is called "The Source" because it is the Source of everything, including Light. The 1st Shard is "closest" to the Source because it has the most Light out of all the other Shards. Likewise, the 13th Shard is the "furthest" from the Source because it has the least Light out of all the Shards. "Closeness to the Source" has nothing to do with time-line divergences.

It's also why I said the the different Shards were all on different "frequencies" or "phase-shifted" from each other. It's as if when Hydaelyn put Zodiark in the moon, parts of the Source were slammed so hard they started vibrating at different frequencies. And only the parts on the same frequencies could interact with each other. Switching to a different frequency (shard-hopping) is very difficult.

That is only for the method the Warriors of Darkness used.

Which is also the method all the Ascian Overlords and Unakalhai use. Every one of those people has the Echo. Every one of those people has a Crystal of Light/Darkness. Every one of those people has died and then possessed a body so they can leave their home Shard. The WoD used that method because it works.

Which I think they were tricked into taking by Elidibus. Removing them from the 1st so that Ascian plans may go unimpeded on the 1st shard.

The WoD were tricked by Elidibus. But not about how to leave their Shard or that they could fix the Flood that way. That was how they met us and how they got to talk to Hydaelyn in the end. Nice job fixing that Elidibus!

What the WoD were tricked about was how Elidibus said a Calamity was the only way to save the aether from their Shard by being Rejoined to the Source. What Elidibus wanted the WoD to do was to kill us so that the 8th Umbral Calamity would happen once a Champion of Light died and plunged the world into chaos. The Ascians had no plan for the 1st Shard beyond it being Rejoined to the Source. The 1st Shard was being Flooded with Light and if the Flood completed (which the Ascians assumed that it would; the last Flood was completed after all) then the 1st Shard would be useless to them. No one wants a Flood. Not even the Ascians. They might as well get something (a Rejoining) out of it if the Shard was in the process of being Flooded.

Instead, Hydaelyn fixes the problem for everyone, and not just the WoD. The WoD get to see their Shard not be Flooded with Light. The Ascians get anther Shard to be Rejoined at some future date if they need it to be.

While some might call the 13th Shard 'The Void' colloquially, I'm pretty sure the 'World of Darkness' is it's more canonical title, so I'd expect the 1st shard would end up being called the 'World of Light'.

People call the Void "the Void", because that is what the devs call it (and the Voidsent themselves call it that too). The "World of Darkness" is probably the area of the Void that is under the rule of the Cloud of Darkness.

Anyway, it has been fun playing around with different theories before we find out what is really going on. May the devs surprise us beyond our wildest theories and floor us with where the story will go next.
