Revelations from Keynote III (2019)

[Chewy2nd]

I've just had a thought, what if the reason Graha Tia looks so different is due to him waking up far into the future, seeing what the original path lead to, and then deciding to use the secret chamber in the Crystal Tower to travel back and work out another way of preventing Hydaelyn's obliteration.

[Nalien]

I wonder if the Lv70 Summoner Title is in any way foreshadowing, or just an interesting coincidence...

Obviously G'raha found a strange orb in Crystal Tower and Sari mind-jacked him ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[Remedi]

Wouldn't be the first time COUGH ARCHMAGUS NOAH COUGH

I'm honestly half expecting that this will be the plot for 5.0. He also seems to have traveled too far, if that one slide from the dev panel is anything to go by. About CT appearing there quite a while ago, though we don't know the exact number of years, it seems to be at least 100.

[MrThinker]

While I'd agree with previously made statements that the amount of time ago CT appeared on the First isn't as important as simply knowing that it did, the nit-picker in me still believes that there isn't enough room in the censored English text to have space for a 3 digit number, and is thus most likely to be less than 100 years.

Yeh, assuming they didn't play tricks and just adjusted the text under the censored part as well, it looks like a double digit number. Hmm, what event a double digit number of years ago could be tied to this? The battle of silvertear skies?

If CT appearing is indeed tied to an event on our Source, then yes the Battle of Silvertear Skies would be a top contender simply due to the amount of aether it unleashed unto the realm. However, it could also be the case that the appearance if the tower is completely random.

Say something like 'Whoops I misjudged the energy and calculations needed in jumping back in time while simultaneously warping to a similar spot in another Shard and over shot it by a few decades'.

Or, depending on how far forward or back in time Enigma can see, it could have been to deliberately shape Crystarium's creation. We know that there's a prophecy about the Warrior of Darkness appearing to bring back the night, and the Tower's doors opening and the WoL striding out would be a great way to inspire people and hopefully ensure access to the resources the WoL would need to get the ball rolling. It would also create a free city for survivors of the Flood, since Eulmore is obviously rotten and the other regions are suffering.

That... is a pretty good idea I'll admit, but at the same time, didn't they say we actually arrive in Lakeland first?

[Chewy2nd]

I've had a thought, I wonder the the Garlean race exist on Norvrandt? (We know the Empire dont) And if they don't what would that mean?
