Thread: Revelations from Patch 5.1

I have said this before back in 5.0 discussion but I will say it again...

I am assuming the WoL that will be going against us are certainly from the other shards but their reasons are based on certain beliefs we have seen in other series that involve Light and Darkness. There are many different type of beliefs about Light and Darkness depending on the series but the most generic is that Light is Good and Darkness is Evil.

It is common in fantasy stories to always have the Light represent Good and the only thing that can repel the Evil that threaten the world or worlds while Evil always use Darkness and Darkness being the manifestation of corruption and sin.

I have a feeling who ever these Warriors of Light are, they may be follow this generic belief about Light and Darkness thus believe WoL/WoD is Evil because he or she represents the Darkness of the First which in their belief is Evil.

It may lead to a interesting story for 5.2 to 5.55 about how Light and Darkness are neither Good nor Evil but it greatly depends on how they are used and teaching this lesson to these Warriors of Light who have grown up in a world where people grow up believing always that Light is Good and Darkness is Evil.

As for appearance reveal here in 5.1....

I am assuming this first Warrior of Light looks like Arbert because he is a fragment of the Original Soul for our character and the choice for him to always look like Arbert maybe to due being related to the Original Soul in some way. Perhaps a strong memory of a person who once look like that.

For developer point wise, it is most likely because by deafult WoL is intened to always look like Arbert and with them being fragments of the same Soul it is easier to just give them the same default appearance as well.

The only reason the First's WoLs cooperated was because their world was on the verge of complete annihilation and there's nothing to suggest the other shards are facing a similar predicament.

That and it still seems a bit unusual that Ardbert's body was conveniently missing. Yes, some people have pointed out that this is a younger-looking Ardbert, but we already know Ascians can shape the bodies they overtake for whatever reasons they see fit and I find the notion of all of our WoL's soul fragments looking identical when we don't a bit silly.

Character limits.

this will not be the first time Warriors of Light are created by the Ascians. As revealed back in 5.0 through the Final Job Role Quest, Arbert and his companions are made into Warriors of Light because of Ascians manipulating events to make certain they become Warriors of Light as part of their plan to cause the First to return to the Source. It would have worked as well if Arbert had not refused to finished his final task that would have made him into a Warrior of Light by killing the Shadowkeeper.

So it is possible for Ascians to trick Hydealyn into making Warriors of Light but it is also possible that becoming Warriors of Light may not be involved with Hydealyn as well considering what is revealed in the Job Role Quests involve Arbert and his companion's journey to become Warriors of Light as the result of Ascians manipulating events to make them into becoming Warriors of Light.

And don't forget: the meaning of light and darkness in the first is the opposite of their meaning in the source.

You're forgetting he has a a few of them already from the 13th shard that he saved

Cylvia already mentioned that there were more than just her and the kid in the rising stones. I think he may have mentioned it as well. It's why I'm thinking that Albert over there is our shard from the 13th
