Dalamud Thread

[Wycor]

My thoughs are:

Dalamud is a giant metalic control-remote weapon.

On the letter is mentioned we will see the new weapon of empire but for "see" it can mean we can clearly see what is dalamud and not a "weapon", machine, some type of mob, etz.. imperials may use.

In addittion in some old Company quest from Ul'dah (don't remember which, take care spoiler):

Cid appears whispering that Imperials are trying to use Meteor on us.

With thist said is a bit weird that Imperials are using Dalamud to crush our territory but they keep attempting to "invade" or attack us. It looks silly if they get hit too... However since Darkhold instance raid was released, on quest related to this instance and some "live events" (invasions) we are told that imperial are invading and installing some "devices" (little machines) over the zones.

What this can mean? Well guessing the point Dalamud is a fire weapon (let's say a misil so we can understand) it need to have some aiming procedure or it can fall over the Imperial region too. So we can supose those devices are nothing but target points where the Dalamud (Meteor) should hit.
Also if you check the logo, you can speculate over many theorys on what those spikes are but what if they are some "antenna"? So far we saw Imperial are heavy machine technology based so... why not?


So here it is another speculate theory! Have fun, thanks for your time.

Some type of Aether crystal/catalyst was sealed in Dalamund by the advanced civilization. The crystal allowed them to harness advanced technology, but it reacted in strange ways when exposed to the natural Aether. It has such a strong influence it goes Primals to go mad. The crystal eventually brings about an Umbral Era before it was sent into the sky. When it makes contact with Erozea, it will cause the natural aether to go haywire again causing mutations in the land, surrounding areas, and its people.

I could get behind this idea. Nael van Darnus of Garlemald pretty much told Gaius that he could guarantee that Dalamud wouldn't land on their lands if they could acquire the Allaghan tombs, so I'm guessing that the Empire is planning on bringing down Dalamud, but they pretty much want to scour Eorzea for the tombs because that's pretty much what happened the first time they tried to use meteor.

I get that the Empire tried this trick once before, but they didn't know enough about the technology and ended up bombing one of their own joints (read: Bozja Citadel), because they didn't know about the Allaghan technology (the tombs) that would assist them with guiding meteor to a particular point of contact. So, now that they know about the tombs, they're scouring Eorzea for them, which is why I think they keep ending up in dungeons (Darkhold, Cutter's Cry, Aurum Vale). The Empire is trying to excavate and find these tombs so that Dalamud won't land on them again. Eorzea had the tombstones already so when they tried to bring down Meteor it landed right on their heads.

Why they are so adamant about using Meteor to begin with, I feel like it's just House Darnus or Nael van Darnus being absolutely nuts from the jump about his technology that he wants to "wipe the slate clean and start anew" much in the manner of Emperor Gestahl and Kefka in FF6. The Empire wants to expand itself and naturally the Emperor is willing to take any means necessary to do so. With Nael van Darnus spouting his crazy stuff in the old man's ear, of course they're willing to try again with reassurance that "if we have the right parts, it could work!".

But aside from that... speculatively thinking. I think that the Alleghan tombstones are ON Dalamud to keep it in orbit and out of the hands of people exactly like the Empire. That's why there are crosses and things on it. So Nael van Darnus is full of shenanigans from the start, I feel, because he just wants to wipe everything out so that House Darnus can rule the Empire and everything. The guy has a silver tongue. But that's just my two cents...

They werent alians they were Zilart, the origanal race on Vana'diel, if anything the 5 races were more alians than them.
