Revelations from Patch 5.3

[KageTokage]

Some random thoughts I suddenly had in the wake of the 5.3 MSQ.

In light of the revelation that the unsundered Ascians were using crystals to bequeath memories onto the replacement Convocation members, it makes me wonder if perhaps Emet-Selch tried to pass someone else's memories onto Zenos on a whim after seeing that he had inherited the soul of someone dear to him; particularly because of Fandaniel's little remark upon first hearing the mention of the dreams and the fact that he made a crystal for Azem despite them not even being a part of the Convocation at that point.

It was mentioned in his short story that the ability to perceive the "color" of souls was very rare, yet Zenos has this judging from his reaction to meeting Fandaniel for the first time. His reaction is also strange considering that he really doesn't care about anyone other then us, which makes me wonder if maybe it was actually his soul's memories that were prodding him there.

Lastly, considering that the only other one who was specifically mentioned/seen to have this trait was Hythlodaeus, it would be rather ironic if the reincarnations of Emet-Selch's two closest friends ended up fighting over the fate of the world and also would make his tendency to refer to us as "his friend" appropriate in a different context.

Is it bad that this makes me want us to go to Meracydia just so the people there would worship our character? I think it'd be pretty funny to see.

I think the potential reactions from people on the steppe would be the funniest if we could definitively prove it to them.

The fact that they bothered updating both Temulun and Cirina's dialogue post ShB MSQ does kind of make me wonder if they intend to have us return there yet again for one reason or another, though.
