    "Dark Aether Salas" and "Dark Aether Isten"

    The 2 kinds of orbs in the Nabriales fight use these attacks. I tried googling what Isten/Salas are and all I got was a song called Salas by the artist Adisyn that comes from an album named Isten...?

    Any idea what the reference is?

    NVM, found out he also does another Dark Aether Sina, so looked up Salas, Isten, Sina and found out from a google book they are old Babylonian for 1,2,3

    This was the root of my assuming the Ancient language was based on an old Akkadian / Mesopotamian language. I guess in retrospect I was right that it hinted at them being an Ur-civilization but that's about it. Now they talk like the adults on Charlie Brown filtered through a kazoo.

    That could overlap with the Endwalker logo, instead of Hydaelyn maybe is Amaurot world with a Babylon tower. "foreshadow"

    I started reading this post, and I started drinking my water... mistakeningly assuming it was safe. My nose burns and I'm coughing and sputtering now at the bolded.

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore
