"Who...what are you?"

[Ayuhra]

I took it to mean he was just wondering...who and what the Warrior of Light is. The WoL is the champion chosen by Hydaelyn herself and imbued with her Light.

We just took out Thordan and the Knights of the Round without being Primals ourselves. How did we do it? Thordan, I think, died wondering what was UP with the WoL that made them so powerful. But he did not see them as a beacon of hope, he saw them as something terrible and fearsome.

I think the way he asked the question in a state of terror implies that the story is about to go into some of the darker aspects of the WoL's existence and what they do to the balance Elidibus keeps yapping about.

As for Gale, I think he didn't have much of an initial reaction. I imagine that the Vault and everything that happened after it left him woozy (losing two companions, not knowing he is moments away from losing a third). He probably just stood there with a thousand yard stare and only later asked himself the same question and came up with the answer "I'm just not sure anymore."

I found the line terribly interesting, and I do enjoy reading people's theories, but it is what it is: It's meant to be a hook, to generate discussion and interest in future patches.

Just like many of these sort of vaguely important lines, we probably won't hear the truth of the matter for quite some time (remember, at the end of 2.0 we saw Zodiark? Or at least, a dark crystal that is more than likely Zodiark? See how much we've done with that?). Another example is the Shroud's unbalanced aether that sent a scholar into complete panic in 2.5, yet we've ignored for an entire expansion now.

I also agree with Belhi, we've done done pretty neat things with the Echo and I think that's where the story is going to go more, since we're basically super warriors now that we have our Blessing back.
