Future locations for 7.0 [SPOILER Discussion]

[SaitoHikari]

Guys, when it comes to future locations beyond 6.0 and the patches, do you think blasphemies would still be involved? You know, when I thought that 6.0 would have the whole world "involved", I thought Hingashi would be part of it but I guess their situation is not that "desperate" like the Samurai Job Quest 60-70 implied. The land is very peaceful and full of harmony I guess /s

But seriously though a lot of places have blasphemy-risk where the celestial aether is thin, blasphemies can appear in conflict/stress heavy locations when Meteia was still active and the Scions' work is actually not done yet if blasphemies could still exist after the defeat of the Meteia hivemind. A lot of people are still ignorant about how the blasphemies work in-universe.

Hmm, now that I think about it, was the lead blasphemy around Garlemald ever found and defeated? I distinctly remember Krile or someone in an off-hand conversation during the MSQ mentioning that the Final Days phenomenon was observed spreading NORTH of Garlemald at one point, but that thankfully the area was known to be sparsely populated.

The burning skies are just a side effect of where the dynamis corruption is the strongest and not actually tied to the presence of blasphemies as the one in Thavnair was mentioned as showing up before the skies even changed.

I kind of expect the blasphemies are going to have a continued presence in the MSQ for a while yet regardless, though...and probably side content as well if we end up going to Corvos.

The burning skies is a mix of the thin presence of celestial aether at first and manipulation of dynamis from the Meteia hivemind, right?

And yeah, if what the MSQ has shown us about how blasphemies work is how it is, should not possible for places like Hingashi and perhaps Meracydia to not be spared from them at all. I kinda expect that Hingashi would be forced to get outside help for a threat they nothing about with all the suffering happening inside their country.

(Suffering = emotional distress = blasphemies tended to happen in the MSQ pre-Meteia)

There are no blasphemies in Ba Sing Se. Exchange Ba Sing Se for Hingashi, and that's likely going to be the "official" story.
