[lore] The Story Dungeon path

[Nalien]

A Sin Eater... Palace? Is certainly an interesting revelation... One assumed they were a force bent on resuming the Flood and returning everything to blank-nothingness... Yet they have enough of a culture to build a palace? If their goal is annihilation, why build anything like that at all? Puts their pact with Eulmore in a new perspective at least. Certainly more going on with Innocence I guess... I wonder if the Flood of Light was less an End-of-Days event, and more of a Tabula Rasa event...

i suspect it is related to their own personal belief about themselves.

Sin Eaters are the most extreme existence of Light that seek to consume and destroy the world of all Darkness but they may also see themselves as High Beings worthy of being equivalent of Angels people worship.

the appearance of Sin Eaters represent a lot towards "angels" and heavenly beings for the majority that change into Sin Eaters. Of course you know how stories are when the antagonist of a fantasy Story are "Angels" or something close enough to appearance.

It could also simply be a Palace/Temple like area built prior to the Sin Eaters first appearance that was taken over by them. Especially if some of the more...interesting theories I've seen about the place turn out to be true it for sure would have been built long before the Flood started.

My theory since the launch trailer has been that Sin Eaters take up the traits of the people they eat. The leaders of Eulmore all seem gluttonous, certainly a Sin you'd expect them to eat up, yet they have a pact with those people, and instead seem to eat the poor from the slums. I also noticed a lot of the "foot soldier" Sin Eaters, at least the humanoid ones seem very... Primal? They're eating people who are falling in battle, people who are likely terrified, and I think perhaps their appearance reflects that somewhat...

If true, then I guess it fits with building a palace. If they evolve by feeding, and they're selective in whom they eat in Eulmore, then I suppose the logical endpoint is "We're Angels" and constructing a "Heaven" would fit with that... Given Sin Eaters were once people, there could be some pretty solid Rapture comparisons made...

Didn't it seem like it was still under construction, though? The entrance way at least, you even see a pillar form from white cubes as you approach from wherever it is we approach from. Seems to me like it's expanding from a central point, likely where we fight Innocence.

There is a lot of symbolisim in the Sin Eater's appearances such as the one where we see their eyes completely black and looks like they're crying which is actually a imagery of having their eyes burned out by the Light thus they are blinded by the Blight.

dungeon1: given how brief it is at the beginning might be final story one just like SB one had a brief bit of ala mhigo

dungeon 2: think this is the lv71 dungeon during a sin eater attack on a nearby lakeland village

dungeon 3: looks like could be Mt Gulg think lv80 dungeon

dungeon 4: lv73 dungeon maybe a test to see Titania

dungeon 5: Ronkan ruins with murals i think lv 75 dungeon Solus probably leads us to it

dungeon 6: lv 77 dungeon looks like a build up to Innocence
