I mean, La Voz in Spanish even means “the voice”. (Yeah I know in the actual game the name means something else, but that name still had to be thought up by people on this earth using real world ideas)

Well, at least that’s my thoughts…
If they're just like Zeal, they would know exactly what it was. Queen Zeal had her heart stolen by Lavos, and sought more of his power so that she could live on forever at his side. She sought to wake him. The Zeal citizenry were eminently aware of Lavos, where their powers came from, and refer to Lavos as Lavos-sama. You know, the deific honorific.

I mean, I won't discount the possibility of a Lavos like being, being responsible for the Sound, but I think that the ancient's aether source was simply their larger, denser souls.

If anything, they put a strain on the planet, because their talented sorcerers drew on the power of the Underworld to take on their powerful forms, as alluded to in, "Through His Eyes."


I'd like for the Ancients' downfall to still be of their own making. If by misunderstanding the tax their sorcerers placed on the Lifestream or by a crazed Terminus cult... I want their flaws revealed.
