story predictions for shadowbringers

[Jaywalker]

Another prediction--I think Darkness (capital 'D' because I mean metaphysical force here) will be found tying to concepts like selfishness, guilt, shame, fear, etc. Very in-line with Dark Knight questline. But I think the WoL/D is going to be confronted with the fact that these aren't necessarily bad and are in fact hugely important in being good. Without being selfish you can fall victim to abuse or throw your life away like it's worthless. Without guilt when you cause harm (accidentally or deliberately) it becomes very easy to keep doing it. Without healthy shame, you can become a burden and cause misery to yourself and others. Without fear, you can place yourself and others into hugely dangerous situations without ever realizing the gravity of that.

Darkness keeps things in perspective and lends weight to light. Especially with the state of Eulmore, I think part of what the WoL/D will see is that the wealthy have become so convinced of their own perfection and virtue that they are incapable of understanding or having compassion for the suffering of others. It's not even malicious. It's like trying to explain pain to someone who's never felt it.
