Theory about Sophia in Eorzea

[Griffey]

Right so we got some new info on Sophia on the lodestone today. She was worshipped by a multi-racial civilisation of Meracydia and summoned in response to the Allag invasion.

This got me thinking. We know the miqo'te originate from Meracydia, so it's not a stretch to believe they made up a portion of the population of the Goddess civilisation. We also know that the Seekers of the Sun clan worship Azeyma, the sun goddess.

What if... And bear with me on this one.. Azeyma and Sophia are one and the same? In fact, did Sophia influence he moden day Ul'dah?

My theory is that during the Fifth Umbral Era, the miqo'te, specifically who would become the seekers, travelled to Eorza and settled in the area of what we know today as Thanalan. They built temples to their goddess there which were ultimately destroyed in the great flood of the Sixth Umbral era. Mages fleeing the war of the Magi found these ruins and built temples on top of them, eventually becoming the nation of Belah'dia, which I will come to in a moment.

The symbol of Azeyma is an orb with a winged line underneath, representing the sun. What If this is a very simplified symbol of the giant winged head that Sophia floats around on? Or it could reference the orb that she carries in the screenshots.

Sophia summons a set of scales of judgement that we see in the trailer. Where else do we find scales? Right at the beginning of Qarn and before the boss room. It's possible they could have been built by the Belah'dians but as we know Qarn was built on much older ruins, again it's to too much of a stretch. Maybe they found icons of scales in the deeper parts of the ruins and took these to be symbols of Nald'thal.

So these mages, refugees from nations that already worship the Twelve, find ruins dcorated with sun symbols and scales, and assume that these are representative of Azeyma and Nald'thal respectively, and time passes until these symbols become synonymous with these gods.

What do you guys think?
