That's why I'm so excited for 8.0. I'd like us to finally follow in Azem's footsteps, to see what he was doing in the final days other than being on Aloalo (you know, for the key), unless Aloalo is his final destination...

After all, it's not like we've been teased with Meracydia for a while now. I'm mainly talking about the Azeyma symbols on the Meracydian ruins in Azys Lla, or even the possibility that if Meracydia is based on a strong Egyptian cultural influence, we could see the connection with the sun (Azem's crystal + Azeyma's affinity and his own symbol).

Bonus points if there are still descendants of the Allagans in Meracydia, but not classic citizens, but rather resistance groups affiliated with Phlegeton who stayed to help rebuild the continent and repair the damage caused by the war.
