Predictions for 5.3?

[Anonymoose]

I'm still trying to figure out the Elidibus thing, since I think that's what's going to make or break predictions.

To summarize, it was highlighted as the big mystery of Part A (5.2), as the Please Look Forward to It of Part B (5.3), that the Elidibus who saw on the Convocation became the core of Zodiark, while Venat became the core of Hydaelyn. This means that the Elidibus we've been dealing with since 2.1 is...who? Or what? The true nature of our alleged final unsundered foe must require this distinction to be true in order for the story to function, or they wouldn't have wasted time on it. What does this make possible? What makes it even more difficult is this:

Urianger
Perchance the Elidibus at Zodiark's heart and the emissary with whom we are acquainted be not one and the same, but predecessor and successor.
Y'shtola
It's possible. If the previous Elidibus perished before the Final Days, the one we know could still be a survivor of the sundering.
And yet...something in that explanation rings false.

That was our plausible assumption. What's left?

Perhaps it's hinting the other direction, that Elidibus is Elidibus even now, the Word of the Father.
That would serve the narrative how? Making possible the return of Venat in another form of her choosing?

So I think we've got that answer coming. Triple word score as soon as someone utters the name "Gerun".

And then there's the fallout of Elidibus making a bunch of Woken who think they're doing Hydaelyn's work and yet unknowingly lend Elidibus their ears. Clearly he's just trying to set them up to kill us in a moment of zealotry. Clearly we're not going to die. I can think of a few way both of those can be true; not sure how bad the game will let it get before we unravel the machination, though.

And if they close this uncertainty with the time shenanigans I'm declaring it a 10-outta-10.
