Stupid question

That, in the end...

...it's Lahabrea, right? My dumb self think it is just because of the pandemonium raid teaser.

Here are my thoughts on it.

No I think it's someone else. Notice how Elpis is completely empty. That scene was in the modern day. Elpis likely is still around just not near the main continent of the story. I think this might be an Ascian who sided with Venat.

It is pretty clearly

Eldibus, its the exact same voice.

This, and he talks about

A promise made

indicating a deal was made with her when he sent us back to Elpis

[yajnaji]

Okay so I knew it was a stupid question because now I see how obvious it is.

Also...

...never even dreamed of thinking that Elpis is still around. I had this idea that the whole ancient world went to, you know, shit. So was it "only" amaurot?

About that zone

Strange and maybe I remember it wrong but I thought that Elidibus said in the German version that Elpis was completely destroyed by the Final days thus why he needs to sent us into the past to get clues.

@yajnaji: No as far as we know the whole world got destroyed in the final days, Amaurot was just the last place it reached.

Something that y'all said, but it hit me in the meantime.

Wasn't Elidibus literally a child? That one looks a full grown adult.

What's this promise? I haven't read anything about a promise in his monolog, only "Alas, I dare not investigate in earnest before the coming of my guiding star, as he foretold.".
"He" would not refer to Venat but someone else. Elidibus' unknown twin brother?
The fact he has a white robe means he was a public servant of some status who gave up his place (just like Venat), or Elidibus himself. Or perhaps, instead of destroying Eli's soul when he sent us back in time, it freed him and he played us.

Well it...

... is no longer around.
Elidibus says so when he mentions it : "Elpis itself would tell even less. Nary a ruin has survived─"
Except if there's some part of it that was sundered on the First or something, but I doubt meteors falling on the star + a calamity of wind + a calamity of thunder would fare well with floating islands, that apparently had to be regulated on a regular basis so its aether wouldn't go out of balance.

As for the ancient world itself, well, it's still around in the form of ruins in the Reflections since they didn't have to weather the calamities, but ruins nonetheless.

About Elidbius

In the short story Elidibus was called a young man in many languages. I just took it that either only so little remained of the original Elidibus after fusing with Zodiark that his shade was so small or maybe he was shown as so small because he felt lost and sad at that moment.

Of course seeing how my character was still much smaller next to Emet, Hythlo and Venat maybe he was simply of a smaller build.

I could have sworn it was Elidibus's voice.
