Revelations from Keynote II

[Katie_Kitty]

Namely that the Time Travel evidence is all vague and out of story whereas the Shard Travel evidence is Explicit and In Story. I mean, just take a step back and think about that.

How is the time travel evidence out of story? The recent patches have been very clearly hinting at time travel. "History must be changed," "Eon become instant," "Win or lose, the path you walk leads only to oblivion." These are all lines coming from the voice that called to us, and they all suggest somebody with knowledge of the future trying to influence the present.

Please don't try to associate the time travel theories with that stupid cat person from the crystal tower raids. They are two very different things. I believe time travel is key to the MSQ of shadowbringers - I do not believe the hooded character in that picture is a random catperson from the crystal tower raids. They are not one and the same.

The evidence for shard travel so far is a whole patch storyline related to the First Shard full of foreshadowing, one of the explicit main villains of Shadowbringers going to the First Shard, a character who explicitly went to the First Shard being revealed to be majorly important in it, and a story about bringing darkness when there is literally a world where we know is too much light. Which world? The First Shard! Which is connected to all of the previous points!

The Warriors of Darkness was patch 3.4 or something, we are now onto patch 5.0, artbert and them served their purpose and there is nothing suggesting that the first has any reason for being a big part of shadowbringers. I personally feel like I am the one taking crazy pills when people suggest that we're just going to completely ignore all the warnings we're getting about the flood of light on the source and instead go take care of the problem on the first. Why would arbert care about a flood on the source? Even if he learned how to somehow communicate and pull people across shards, why would he pull us to the 1st while warning us about a flood on the source?

There are just too many hints of someone warning us about something that has already occurred on the source to think it makes any sense that we'll just up and decide to go to a completely different world.
