Yes but how? The first is gone, no one could ever have learned of the light wardens, even the different flow in time should have been a suprise, or at least they would have no way to track down a exact moment, as its pace was random...

I get it was the last desperate act to save a doomed world, but still... quite risky. Ofc we could argue they failed many times and the loop kept on till they hit the right time lol

And then he goes and accidentally pulls the Scions to the First, so now instead of being alone, the WoL is going to have friends who will undoubtably try to interfere when the Exarch does his villain act.
Somethin i cant get into my head either... he needed his device to actually grab us, it was the bridge he needed. ok. so... why dont we let our friends bodies touch it and summen them over, thus giving em the ability to just port forward and back? Even Thancred should be able to use that mirror gate at Grahas room, right?

I get we need a story to happen but it feels like they're making it overly complicated - heck he summoned 7 other warriors against hades, yet cant grab our firends? It should be even easier with them helping him...


Also, imagine without him as a peacefull force, I do wonder what mess Eulmore would have made. Sure we wouldnt push em, but still...

But as for the timing, assuming that he thought he only needed a short time to prepare, then he arrived just a few months prior to the necessary point as calculated by the Source's flow of time.
Most likely we really can settle for, they had 0 clue about the weird flow of time and he was lucky that it was still close, not 1000 years too early.



(Imagine what that would have been like... watching things play out in slow motion all those years, never sure if the flow of time might suddenly speed up and he'd miss the critical moment.)
Now imagine how it has been for the Ascians, after much more time... who knows how much time passed when they were at some shard. Its easy to see why Emet was that melancholic...



Elidibus would have needed to call on him in either case, even if you're of the theory that the timelines diverged as soon as G'raha and the tower arrived in the First.
To us it surely started to change the moment we started having his calls. To the first... it sure instandly changed things, for 100 years less deaths and a force against the chaos, lots of wisdom that didnt get lost, either... it might have bought some days or weeks before the flood, just from slowing down lord fatty... ofc we cant tell, but still.

The only way I could see him being "involved in G'raha's plan" would involve him finding out about how the time travel mechanism works, and I think that would be too catastrophic on a larger scale in other ways.
I just cant unhear what he said, how he was involved in building that tower... from all ppl, he might be able to hide even from G'raha, being in that tower all along waiting for his moment. Yes it would be too cheap but still, part of me just wants him around lol.
And i wanna know more about the time travel, see more of the tower... ik that wont happen but still >_>


but certainly in the short term it would be in Emet's best interests to work together for at least long enough to get G'raha out of the First alive, and possibly make sure that the Ironworks and younger-G'raha do manage to pull off their time-travel venture so the other timeline can be saved
As already said, we might have had severaly loops already.

Most likely he'll play along until he can swipe the time machine and go back to Amaurot to halt the Final Days.
Im not sure IF he would be able too... they most likely would still need Zodiak for it. Yet we also dont know what caused it. Maybe the flood of light might have changed him, realizing their plan wont work out, or being impressed after see us mortals do such a long term plan, while suffering such hard conditions - we did have the foreshowing that his heart can be reached, as he saved Y'stola for us (even if it might bit his butt) and from the story about his son...

I wonder if we see an RP battle within the future... I guess not and it'll be a bunch of unused chances... *sigh*
