    Same here, it's getting real old real quick. I've almost put several posters in these subforums on ignore, something I've never had the urge or wanted to do before now. I don't like that it's getting to this level either, it's reaching the point to where I see certain posters and want to just instantly disregard anything they state, which isn't healthy for discussion of lore.

    Ah, poor old amnesic Elidibus. I really can't help but wonder if his Warrior of Light, his summoning magicks, and his 'Limit Breaks' all draw inspiration from a certain chance encounter on Elpis, countless years before. I'll laugh if he makes that promise after discovering the cause of the terrible cry from within the earth that set off the Final Days. Perhaps in a place in the depths with lots of Creation magic.
    I'm not sure that adds up. The promise he's struggling to remember simply seems to be the vow he would have given when he joined the Convocation, except his memory has failed to the point he can't even remember them.

    As for the Warrior of Light, we were specifically told in 5.3 that the incarnation Elidibus drew on is a Vrandtine legend - likely a previous life of Ardbert's soul-shard. That legend is the idea that Elidibus is manipulating everyone into thinking about and then drawing strength from their faith, so it makes sense that his "primal born of that faith" takes the form of their collective mental image of the hero.
