Thread: Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

Had a thought about the Gridania scene

What if Fourchenault had ulterior motives for disowning the twins? Like doing it so they wouldn't get caught up in something Sharlayan is going to do, or wouldn't be restrained by family role and expectations, or something like that. Because he seemed genuinely happy to meet them at first, and the pivot to disowning them happened really fast. But if he was doing it for their own sakes, that'd be interesting.

If that is the case though, dude's an ass for not just telling them straight up why he was cutting them off. Don't put on such a show about it.

I had though it might be something like this too.

But my issue is the same, the only reason to make such a show of it, is for us (the players) because unless he thinks he's been followed all this way, which is possible but there're are places he could have gone to have private words with his kids, if he told them what was what, they'd have played ball and not felt like crap about the whole thing. Though if it does end up being the case it suffers from the usual end of expansion issue of nothing can reveal what's to be revealed come expansion. (I'm looking at you maybe Venat and your award for most vague warning to ever be warned).
If that isn't it though and he was just being a jerk and they do claim to "know when the end is coming" I wonder if that's wholly true or just their assumption, will it wind up as being some big reveal that they do in fact have some means of predicting the "End days"? and somehow everything going on doesn't qualify, or is this going to be a case of "We think we do, but we don't." I'm reminded of the Archbishop and how his foolproof plan of double crossing the Asciens and ruling the world fueled by "1000 years of prayer" couldn't fail, right up until it did.
