In replaying 5.2 on one of my characters, I had a thought that may be revealed once 5.3 comes out re: who we really are. I'll get my tin foil on now, because this is just wild, rampant theories that may or may not be correct or have merit.

We know that we were friends with the Convocation, and that we are most likely the Defector, bringing the Convocation count from 14 to 13. In the scenes out of Anamnesis Anyder, Venat's group is also 13, and if we had chosen to side with them, we would be 14 there. There's always the possibility that there were more people who sided with Venat in their decision to summon a counter to Zodiark and were in their own "Convocation" of sorts, but I find it interesting that there's 13 present in that scene.

We also know that Elidibus is just a title of "emissary" and that the original decided to become Zodiark's heart, and the one we see now is just their successor in that job... but what if there were more than one? What if we were in that same vocation before we became the WoL? We ended up becoming Hydaelyn's Chosen™ because of starshowers and Her talking to us etc but I'm fairly certain Hydaelyn knew who we were when She decided to make us the WoL, most likely how Lahabrea and all them knew who we were. We're already kind of an "emissary", an ambassador, as Chai-Nuzz balks at the fact that we brought "just about everyone in bally Norvrandt" to help before we climb up Mt. Gulg.

We're Elidibus. Or one of them. An Elidibus that ended up being an emissary for Hydaelyn as opposed to Zodiark, bringing people together as an ambassador for Hydaelyn - for Venat. For Minfilia (if my own speculation on Venat's "I will retain the form of my choosing" and how Minfilia is awfully close to Hydaelyn to be chosen by her to be her own voice is correct.... HMMMM.) Our friends.

God why isn't it the 11th already so I can punch Elidibus out of my ghost boyfriend already, see how correct/wildly wrong I am and save the rest of my friends augh.
