Revelations from Keynote II

So I kinda maybe, sorta, prior to Lore Book 2, had started coming up with a back story involving YoRHa in XIV that would have involved the First Astral Era civilization. Then I finally got to read it and realized the interpretation I had of the First Astral Era being about as technological as Allagans were ended up being wrong (I'm not even quite sure how I got the notion.)

So Allagans it has to be if it isn't more recent, so long as XIV YoRHa were made on Hydaelyn.

Shouldn't that be lore book 1? Since book 2 didn't have anything on past eras (at least not that far back).

The first lore book has more direct info, but doesn't actually say much about the technological level they would have been at by the end of the First Astral Era into the Second Umbral, just that the Second Umbral/Astral didn't advance that much as they believed many of the advances made during the First Astral helped lead to their undoing.

The Second book doesn't really have much yes, but one little line at the start of the weapons section is what got me. "The image of a cyclop's cudgel may provide a glimpse at the type of simple weaponry prevalent during the First Astral Era."

On time travel: SE in general has been mostly good when it comes to the Stable Time Loop type of time travel. Any time travel for ShadowBringers seems like it wouldn't work as a loop though, and thats where things get messy unless we are never allowed to go back to the present.

Actually it did. It said that people didn't discover how to make stuff out of iron until the 2nd Astral Era, meaning the 1st was Bronze Age at it's end.

*shrugs* I didn't look much at the Second Astral part so there you go, I miss things. Its how weird theories happen sometimes.
