Revelations from SHADOWBRINGERS

[RyuDragnier]

The special site for 5.2 is up. Anybody else overly reading the art as having a deep meaning? 3 sides of a crystal and its top visible. The top is basically the end of the Amaurotine civilization, the three on the crystal being Ardbert, Elidibus, and us. My tinfoil hat is on tightly, as we and Ardbert are two parts of the same soul. The fact that Elidibus is there is making me think...perhaps we and Elidibus are the same person or in fact twins? Hydaelyn and Zodiark are basically two sides of the same coin, so it'd be interesting to find out that Elidibus is either another us, or is our original self's twin.

I really hope not. I already dislike the notion that Ardbert an my WoL are the same person, let-alone the game telling me that she is also Elidibus somehow. I mean, it's nice that the game has offered a semi-plausible explanation for the WoL's op-ness, but it's one that really doesn't work in a game where players get to create their own characters.

I think it was simply drawn that way to show his status as an Emissary. To quote myself from another thread:

The Artwork is quite interesting, as Elidibus is right in-between WoL and WoD as well as the two opposing colours. Balance indeed.

Are you sure about the identity of the third person? The WoL in trailers and the like has always been represented by "Derplander" who looks very much like Ardbert - not like the person in the picture.

There were strong hints during Shadowbrings that our soul came from the 14th member of the convocation in Amaurot, with Eldibus being another member. So it seems extremely unlikely that Eldibus would be same person as us. Eldibus is the only remaining unsundered Ascian, so his soul won't be shared by anyone. (Lahabrea and Emet-Selch were the other two)
