Revelations from Gamescom 2019

[YianKutku]

4. Emet-Selch remarks that we are of the Source, "seven times rejoined". Is he talking about our soul, or only the world? If our soul has been rejoined, does that mean everyone on the Source has been rejoined to another soul-fragment each Calamity, or are we (and perhaps other specific characters) special in some way?

Oda: Each time there is a rejoining, any living things have the souls rejoined. This is true for everyone equally. The souls get more dense, and potentially more powerful.

But what about Alpha, though.

But what about Alpha, though.

Alpha was created by a being that only came onto the planet AFTER the Sundering. Just like the dragons, Alpha and Omega are not Sundered. But that DOES pose a question as to what happens to those not originally from the Source when Calamities occur.

It's just that Alpha didn't have a soul when he was created, but he gained a soul through his experiences and actions during the course of the Omega storyline. So where did that soul come from?

We DO kinda have a habit of releasing a ton of Aether into the surrounding area when we fight, it wouldn't surprise me if Alpha's soul was created from the excess Aether absorbed during our fights in Omega.

Alpha was in the category of Omega and Midgardsormr?

[AmemeAmeklin]

Now I have to check back on cutscenes to see how our mask is different from Hythlodaeus's...it looked the same to me but it was a vague, faraway glimpse.

Okay, I got some screenshots.




I dunno, it's impossible to actually tell what shape that mask is...although there don't seem to be any eye holes or a beak for sure.

Alpha is in a different category altogether. He was made in the same way the ancients make anything with their creation magic. Unlike those he developed a soul of his own.

[Lauront]

So with the whole notion of hazy memories of the ancient world still residing in the memories of some, besides potentially giving us a hint as to what the Twelve are (Hades's analogies to Nald'thal, ranging from the sign of Gemini, to his aspect of death and domain of sorcery have been noted), I think it also may be an answer as to why Sharlayan has some similarities with Amaurot, like its style of government, its focus on acquiring knowledge and reverence of it and its non-interventionist attitude, as well as the ancient Greek elements to its architecture. We know there was at least one Ascian active there (Emmerololth on Val), but I wonder if it ever piqued their interest and whether others have invested some time there. Even just being the origin point for many a Scion must intrigue some of them.
