Thread: Revelations from Patch 4.3

As for Bozja, I got the impression it was a bit closer to Ilsibard and frankly I imagine its not much more than a crater unless they have rebuilt it. The entire town was obliterated.

According to the snippet of timeline from the lorebook cited in this thread, Bozja was a Garlean city in Othard, primarily commercial sector.

I do wish they would at least tease us with whether or not the Burn is supposed to be what's left of Bozja. >.>; It would fit in my eyes that part of the effort to censor the news of the accident would be for imperial censors to sell off the story as "eikons did it those dang savages".

The Burn is way too big to be Bozja. The city was destroyed yes but the Burn is about the size of Doma. Its a huge area.

I might be wrong but I always suspected Bozja was somewhere between the border of Ilsbard and Othard which would probably be north of the Burn. South of the Burn is almost certainly the areas like Rabanastre. As a trade hub I imagined it having a position similar to Ala Mhigo has for Eorzea.

I hope they give "Shadowhunter" the nickname "The Burned Man" I'm getting Fallout 3 vibes seeing him again.

So basically the Doma arc is done, so I wonder what the next two patches will be about, our eventual plan to go to Garlemald? After binging Fallout 4 I'd like to see Square try out some kind of dystopian wasteland, Garleans using territories to try out weapons. Eldritch abominations roaming the wastes. Feral hyur, Lala, etc running around.

I think the 24 man might actually tie in to the MSQ in a way, so much garlean stories to soak in.

Feral Lalas running around would be so adorable, wild hair and stuff.

Bozja wasn't leveled by a primal. It was leveled during the Meteor Project when the Lunar Transmitter was turned on and Dalamud was "woken up" for the first time. While an entire town got obliterated, the area wasn't the size of a small country. Also, the Metor Project was started after Ala Mhigo was annexed by the Garleans. The Garleans would have found the Burn long before that when they were taking over Othard.

So if Zenos' tomb hadn't been opened yet, who did Elidibus reveal himself as? Maybe Emperor Varis Zos Galvus?

We don't know when Zenos' body got out of the grave, but it seems to have happened fairly sshortly after being placed there in the firsst place. We already know that nobody checked if the body was still in the grave after it had been vandalized, so it could very likely have been long gone by that point.

I have a theory on that

I think that we are not a real person but an avatar of Hydaelyn itself and Elidubus is the same for zodiark he will also have the same face as us in this thoery. Ofc it's all made up with no relevance, but I'm simply going by the idea that whatever face was there it was enough to scare the emperor who till then was depitched as a rather hard to scare man. And yes it would've been hard at that time for Elidubus to already have taken hold of Zenos' body. That aside I ask to everyone to consdier this Hypothesys and see where I might be wrong since it's more than probable I missed something. Consider I'm simply going by hints they've given to us like the last archbishop words which seems to imply there's something different about us
