Tales from the Dawn

[Iscah]

There are several plot hooks and lines in the game revolving around aged souls. Namely all the ones with the Echo, but further still, things like the Auspices. Which for all intents and purposes appear to be near immortal animals who grow more powerful as they age.

Auspices seem to be significant due to the age of their body, rather than their soul.

Perhaps the soul has something to do with them living that long in the first place, but they didn't go into that level of detail.

We wouldn't have died though, XIV already established that the future can not be changed via Shadow Bringers Tales sharing that Graha future did not cease to exist & the Black Rose time line still exist despite our changing of history. The Timeline that the sundering happened in happen Venat could've shared the info of Meteon in the loop time line & they could've devised a way to Meteon & we still would've dealt with her in our time line, thus both times could've been saved Emet Laha Eli etc would not cease to exist in our realm despite change to past all that happened to that point in our time line would still have happened.

Here's a thing, though: even if she did use that information to find another way to defeat Meteion and avert the Final Days entirely, creating a new branch of history, we will not see it happen in our timeline.

We are the equivalent of the people in the Black Rose timeline who will never see the effects of G'raha successfully averting the Calamity. It remains as the history of their world.
