Realization: Is the WoL a primal?!

[Beckett]

Nah, primals would temper people, we don't have that ability

You also have to remember that the players from 1.0 ARE the WoL from before the calamity.

We might temper people, and 1.0 players could have died in the calamity, only to be brought back as primals in 2.0.

We also dont suck up aether nor do we need a supply of it to exist.

This is the most damning evidence against the theory, though. Primals have a very noticeable effect on the environment simply by existing. I suppose we could be tempering our allies so fast that they aren't able to read their scanners correctly, but that seems farfetched.

I think the more likely explanation for Thordan's outburst is that we're the Hydalean version of an Ascian.
