Nature of the Sound

[Iscah]

There's a set of logs in Academia Adynar that describe the development of the Sound. And how it "moved" from one location to another, driving Creation Magic crazy as it went.

The fact that it was moving around suggest there is maybe a source that was emitting the Sound. What that source is, we just have to wait and find out in 6.0 but if lucky they may start revealing a glimps of it in 5.5/5.55

The moving part is also important since it means the source was not teleporting by physically moving. This would mean the source of the sound had to start at a specific area of the world and made its way to Amarot as its final stop.

Do you have the quote for that? Did it really say the sound was "moving" like a single source travelling from place to place, or was it spreading to more places over time?

But the Shakespeare references don't end there. The main theme is called "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" which is titled as such to recall the famous "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" speech made by Macbeth, from the play Macbeth. What's key here is that Emet, much like Macbeth, believes they are invincible, destiny has chosen them rule and win, and can't conceive how they will fall. Macbeth's speech is the moment that he realizes that following the evil path of murder has lead him to a meaningless life, so does Emet realized in his final moments where he begs us to remember we once lived. Not to mention the concurring themes of good trimuphing over evil.

I'm not that good on Shakespeare references so I had to look that up.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It doesn't really fit with the song to me, besides a loose similarity about life being ephemeral - but this is regretful and the song is more joyous, about living on in memory.

The Anyder

I don't see any reason to call them that as an organisation. Unless I'm misinterpreting, they use that term as a short form for the Anamnesis Anyder, which is odd anyway because there are at least two different locations in Amaurot with the suffix - the other being the Akadaemia which seems to be the base for the Convocation.

I hold to hope that whatever we don't know about Hydaelyn, Hydaelyn is still good, and heroic. She's been one of my favourite characters since the very beginning, I felt a lot of connection with her as a maternal figure since the very beginning.

I agree. It feels like every story that starts with a benevolent god-figure is guaranteed to have them turn out evil by the end, and sometimes it's just nice for them to actually be what they claim they are - or in Hydaelyn's case at this point, for her to retain her stated love for us even if she isn't exactly the goddess we were led to think she was.

The 8th fight in Eden has an extremely important message in it's lyrics. That merger was no coincidence when you consider the color of her hair changes depending on which form she was currently in. Shiva retains her silver hue. While Hydaelyn/Venat... Was a blonde.

I'm not sure why you're thinking Venat figures into the symbolism of the Eden fight - she's never talked about there. Ryne's form is just representing Hydaelyn's Light as opposed to Shiva's ice, perhaps with a nod back to her blonde appearance while she was Minfilia's vessel.
