My tinfoil hat is, like, the size of the moon right now, and I'm pretty sure I'm seconds from being crushed like a bug under its weight, but:

Hydaelyn's "mother" motif was totally going to originally be explained with Meteion as her daughter, huh. And "hear, feel, think" would be explained as part of the original directive to Meteion.

Not that I think this version of the plot would sit much better with a lot of people - if Hydaelyn more or less destroyed the world in an attempt to save/help her daughter from despair. But then I think it would be a little more easy to logically follow why it was so important specifically that we be able to reach Meteion to talk to her and communicate a message of hope, rather than just "defeat" her. And also, I would probably like it better, and clearly, that is most important thing, above anything else.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go conspire with others about how the earth is totally flat, actually, if people would just open their eyes to the truth.
