Can't remember who and in what thread right now, but someone said that Labyrinthos is a full blown zone and will have Fates.

For some reason that didn't click for me, but the more I think about it, the more it gnaws on my thought matter.


If that's true then I wonder...

Perhaps Endwalker won't follow the formula laid down by Heavensward. Perhaps instead of secondary antagonist build up we're going to kick down Endwalker's door starting with that.

Imagine if you will... Krile gets us into Sharlayan. G'raha Tia currently asserts that it's an impossible task, but he knows Krile will find a way. We see Y'shtola in the friggin' trailer saunters into the Forum of 99 and verbally witch slaps them. What if by starting the expansion in Sharlayan we actually spend the first few dungeons in Sharlayan bringing them to heel? What if they're having problems with end-times creatures or worse still, we catch wind that the Forum is going to wall off Labyrinthos to the Sharlayan commoners (it probably already is but...). What if we spend levels 81 to 83 beating the ever loving 7 Hells out of the Forum's military/secret services in Labyrinthos? And then some Forum members themselves? I'm sure they've no shortage of accomplished mage warriors however pacifistic they claim to be.

What do you think?
