That is why I think the Sound is far more important than people may think. There is just something about it that maybe foreign but the characters and certain players are ignoring it as another "It was the Ancient's fault".

There is probably something more about the Sound that we are unaware that is beyond what we understand currently to a point we may have to wait until 6.0 to learn what it is.
