Dalamud Thread

[Genz]

Yeah, it reminded me of Bhunivelze too. But I think it's just because it looks cool to add spikes on everything.

Did someone say Dalamud may be an egg?

she (Jihli Aliapoh) was supposedly visited by twelve magnificent Archons who descended from the heavens on brilliantly colored eggs

...just have to replace "brilliantly colored eggs" by "a bloody red egg"

Well, and actually, that's my random theory : Dalamud is some kind of machine to transform humans into surhumans (by overexposing the body to aether), built and used by the rulers of Allag. What we call the twelves gods would actually be the rulers of Allag who want to attain godhood, which gives sense to "the archons will descend from the heaven from an egg", after a "gestation" of 5000 years.
("Archon" is the name given to the supposed terrestrial incarnations of the twelve gods. It's a greek word which means "ruler")

What I like with this hypothesis is, the cataclysm will then really be a cataclysm : the very foundation of Eorzea - the belief in the 12 gods - will be shaken. Some will keep following these gods, other will reject them. And it would fit in the present lore because that's exactly the problem with the primals : they pretend to be god, but nobody can confirm it.
(maybe the primals are also "living beings surexposed to aether to transcend mortality", which may explain their heavy consumption of crystal to be summoned)
