Sin Eaters

[Zohar_Lahar]

So the most intriguing detail to me revealed at Fanfest tonight are these entities. These must be the "trancedental beings" that Kuribu and the Amdapori Lion are based on. Which leads me to think the "Holy Cow" of Eureka Pagos might be a Sin Eater too that showed up in that crazy hellscape.

Of course, what I'm really wondering now is: was Ultima, the High Seraph a Sin Eater that Ajora summoned...or something else? I wonder if other Sin Eaters have appeared already.

I'm still over here cackling at how close we came to the concept when we were spitballing the possibility of temporary "empyrean horrors" that exist during the Flood of Light before it leaves "blank perfection" in its wake. I'm not sure if Ultima could be one, though. Would that not necessitate that there was a Flood of Light somewhere in the past and that it was prevented and that Ultima somehow slipped the confines of the world it manifested in? That's not terribly parsimonious, especially when it's already associated with the destructive magicks said to be "a sliver of Zodiark's power".

Then again, now that you mention it ... what if one or more shards we think still exist have actually already been reduced Light-born void(s)? How would we ever know? No calamity marked its destruction, but there are no voidsent to give hint of its presence. (Granted, Elidibus would probably know and it would be persuasive information to dangle; wouldn't he have by now? lol.)

The thought that there have been Floods of Light that we don't know about is a scary one. On the other hand... more Floods means more Shards that can't be Rejoined to Hydaelyn. Not going to say that's a good thing, but... the Ascians wouldn't be happy at least.

I've figured out the lore behind sin eaters with a simple google search xD

Am I the only one that remembers The Order starring Heath Ledger or ... oh, right, I'm old.

I went to movies to see The Order...

Well they've done it, they made it difficult to sleep at night, Sin eaters are terrifying moreso than the voidsents.

The real question I have is... if Kuribu and the Winged Lion are based on these Sin Eaters, how did the Amdapori learn of them?

Inquiring minds gotta know!

I wonder if it's possible the dawn father and dusk mother were a sin eater/voidsent or some sort of light/dark related entity, with the Xaela being related to voidsent and Raen to sin eaters. Just idle speculation, I have nothing to back that up.

Based on Holy Cow, I'm thinking somethingsomethingLifestream, given Eureka was set adrift there... Spend long enough there, perhaps you start to see things from other worlds... Amdapori White Mages probably pulled a fair few people back from the brink, then they had a "I saw an Angel" moment with Sin Eaters? Come to think of it, the Calling took Thancred first, him and Y'shtola had a brief stay in the Lifestream... Y'shtola fell at the same time as Urianger though, but that could just be a "they had higher magic resistance", given Thancred lost his magical aptitude... Would also like to think that can tie into Xandes and his post-revival madness... Revived at Crystal Tower, have memories of the same Tower in a world being consumed by Light? Might want to balance that out somehow...

At the very least, Eureka is plagued with Voidsent after travelling through the Lifestream, that there is perhaps maybe one Sin Eater there could indicate that both are capable of coming to the Source, but naturally Sin Eaters are less likely to due to the First still not fully falling. Not likely to be incline to look to other worlds for aether when your world still has some left, but it could still happen rarely.
