The State of the Ascians (Assume Spoilers as of TODAY)

[Enkidoh]

I was under the impression that the role of Elidibus was made specifically during the final days and granted to the one who would be come the heart of Zodiark? After our finding of the stones that restore memory Elidibus didn't seem to remember anything about himself, his promises or his friends once we defeated him even while holding the stones.

I'm kinda under the impression that the magic amplifier kid were with in Pandomium(idr the name) will take the job during the end of days. As during the MSQ we were told Elidibus saw us in Elpis and had memories of meeting us.. but we didn't meet anyone that matched him or claimed his seat.

That tells me he wasn't in that seat at the time or it didn't exist yet. Something about the kid were helping makes me think of Elidibus but we will have to wait and see.

Except Elidibus had to have held the seat before the Final Days occurred because the Tales From the Shadows story 'Ere Our Curtain Falls' specifically mentions Elidibus already holding that seat in the immediate period in the days just before Azem's little volcanic jaunt (which Elidbus himself states Azem might face censure for), an event of which Hythlodaeus said when we first meet Venat in Elpis had happened "just the other day", and yet the Final Days had not begun at that stage. So unless this is a retcon, or just an oversight, is unclear.

Or maybe the "just the other day" wasn't literal, but merely "oh it happened not that long ago", but to people who live for centuries, "just the other day" might seem to us like "months ago". But that's just idle musings from me. :P
