Waaaait a second...

And here I am thinking the game's too casual as it is.

[Arcell]

So I haven't seen many people discuss the Seventh Verse of the Divine Chronicles that Yoshida put up when he took charge. Urianger recites the first part in game as well:

Ne'er till land consumes sun can sea bear moons,
Heavens spew crimson flame, hells seep black dooms.
Stray seeds quicken in ash's grey embrace,
Valiant blades forged under the Twelve's good grace.

The first line appears to concern the change from Astral era to Umbral era, like from day to night.

We've seen the heavens spew flame in the first cutscene for each city, as well as in the intro video. I'm not sure what "hells seep black dooms" refers to though.

The third line seems to be talking about what happens afterward. Stray seeds quicken (us) in ash's grey embrace (post-impact).

The last line may just be looking toward the future. Adventurers (valiant blades) growing stronger after being saved by the Twelve.

However that's all just my first interpretation of it. I'd like to hear the input of others of course.

Hell's seep black dooms may refer to what Legatus Nael van Darnus was saying to Gauis:
"Yes, but how much brighter the light that shined from the void! Think of it, Gaius! Within that nothingness(Meaning Eorzea after it has been destroyed by Dalamud) lies the root of all creation - pure potential, limitless possibility! This is the wisdom of the Ancients"

Meaning something is sleeping... or something is waiting to be reborn/awakened...
And that wound from the meteor will cause intense energy right at that spot

Hm...

Bahamut, mayhaps...?

The stray seeds thing might be referencing what happens with those forest fires. There's basically a plant/tree that benefits from them or something, I forget the name. But yeah basically ash's grey embrace, the burned remains of 1.** left after the impact causes seeds to quicken which I read as new life, i.e. stuff growing from seeds. That could mean us though.

You know, someone mentioned, jokingly, in another thread that it could be Odin.

Now that I think about it, that doesn't seem too impossible. The Allagan Empire could have sealed the "Elder Primal" Odin into Dalamud then tossed his ass into Orbit...

I like the way you think.

Sounds feasible enough. Which would be why, in 2.0, he's all of a sudden roaming the lands freely.
