Predictions for 5.3?

[Riastrad]

I think Garlemald is very likely. If nothing else than to swat down a bothersome fly that is doing little more than existing. The endgame is upon us, why not get rid of distractions? Bozja Citadel is basically us taking on it's last real organized force right? The capitol itself is just a battleground of splinter factions vying for power in the wake of the Emperors death and Zenos pretty much neglecting the throne. Time to finish the job (and kill Zenos for good, I really find him and his arc tiresome) and clean up the mess. Classic Final Fantasy style.

Meracydia sounds awesome as a 7.0 expansion area and unraveling its mysteries would be a cool post ascian source questline. Shadows of the new threat a possible link? I mean 5.3 has to unveil someone/something as a new adversary for a chapter two set up.

Lavos, a time manipulating, reality jumping, cosmic entity that eats away at a planets energy, with a distinctive roar, and causes meteor showers upon it's emergence, is still my personal out there theory.

We have time travel, reality hopping, laws of reality coming undone and needing to be rewritten, a sound that drove the ancients mad with fear, and a vision of meteors raining down from the sky, playing on repeat for the last ten-thousand years as a beacon to worthy souls.


But there are many possibilities still in play. I will give you that.
