Ilberd

[Nalien]

We haven't heard anything about Omega since it was mentioned back in, what... 2.2? Presumably it's still a scrap heap buried in Cartenau.

Though Cartenau keeps getting mentioned, Lucia specifically mentioned it before the Grand Melee, which has me thinking Ishgard is aware of the situation... Which has me leaning further towards a "Ishgard may want to use this legendary dragon killing weapon" situation... Depends somewhat on what Omega was truly used for, we've had claims it was to stop and capture Bahamut (the Primal), but given we know Bahamut was once just a regular old dragon, I could see a twist being that Omega was used to kill Bahamut, and either something else contained the Primal, or they updated Omegas software for the job... Either way, I can see Ishgard going "This would be great to stop Nidhogg...", though I can't see that going down too well with anyone...

As for Ilberd... I think he is caught up in Y&Ps plot... Specifically that mask at the end of 3.2... No idea what that's about, but given Y&P are with the Ala Mhigan Resistance (though where I have no idea, Ala Mhigo is far too far IMO, I'm incline to say Paglth'an given the proximity to Ul'dah) and Ilberds goals, I can see him being in that neighborhood. Perhaps the mask is just a mask and he is trying to hide his identity from them, or maybe the mask is The Mask and Ilberd will be voiced by Jim Carrey in future... Who knows... Might not even have been Ilberd...
