It's that time of year again;


I'm guessing "the sea" would either by Hydaelyn (the planet) or the universe/aether/Lifestream/etc., since "the Star" also shows up... Not much to really work with in the first half, the second half though;

"the sea sundered in fourteen", now that is interesting... We have the Twelve, who are actually thirteen (Nald'Thal), but fourteen? Well, I'd take that as confirmation for Zodiark being the "fourteenth"... Alternatively we keep the Twelve as twelve, and Hydaelyn and Zodiark make up the remaining two.

"To the seas She cast Her children", "She" would be Hydaelyn, and "Her children" us. OK, I'm stupid, this is all "before man", so scrap that... You know, I suspect "Her children" might be the Primals... I've long suspected they're not actually bad, just the Ascians have set the board such that we're at odds with them... As Tiamat says, they exist at great cost to Hydaelyn, but to me that kind of drives home the idea that they're Her children... They're literally made of Her aether...

"for fear of the Moon"? *ahem*

"For hate of the Star, to the seas He casts His doom.", I'd guess "the Star" would be Hydaelyn (the planet), "He" would be Zodiark, "His doom"? This is where "seas" and "Star" cause a bit of confusion... Could refer to the Ascians, could be something grander, like the Void itself (seriously, we have nothing on this yet...), given the Ascians strong connection to it...

Thoughts?
