Going by SE previous expac writing I can only see 3 possible endings for DT, but I would like to know some other perspectives. Just for fun, nothing serious here.
We know the scions are going to be safe and happy together after all is said and done. That is a give in. So the danger and conflict they are talking about will be surface deep at best. Wuk Lamat is also likely the doa npc of the expac. They always seem to kill the new npc. And the holy grail they have in the trailer is the source of enternal life they spoke of which will likely be what brings one of the scions or Wuk Lamat/Erinville back after yet another fake out death.
But when it comes to the fate of Tural either:
1: Wuk Lamat will come out as the victor, but she will be betrayed sometime during the story arc by someone she thought was a friend or a family member. And another of the candidates or Erenville will be her #2.
2: Wuk Lamat will herself be a traitor or possessed by someone that has dark designs and are using us as a tool to achieve victory. But her friendship with Erenville will make her realize at the last minute that she was in the wrong. And since she is a red shirt, I mean the new npc, she will likely kick it and she will either be resurrected by the holy grail or the holy grail will suddenly no longer work keeping her dead.
3: There will be a big bad, possibly Wuk Lamat as previously mentioned possibly not, but regardless that will bring everyone together with the power of friendship and after the big bad is brought down, they will either form a council or some form of republic so all interests are represented or all agree on a leader and withdraw their claims.
When it comes to the Enigmatic Maiden.
Ascian or Alien, but I am leaning towards ascian.
1: She saved a part of the 12th before it's calamity and figured out how to help a small group ride the aether into the source or just teleported it there using their tech after discovering that Lightning aether super powers their tech.
2: She is Emet Selc version 2.0 who mourns for her ppl and went rogue. She made the ppl of S9 all remember they are shards and are now trying to just stitch soul shards together to bring the ancients back with varying degrees of success, or figuring out how to pull specific souls from shards to rejoin them on the source. Perhaps one of these chimera or upgraded souls is who we will need to fight at the end of the expac or maybe they are the contestants in the arena.
3: If an ascian she is the leader of the remaining allagans, who had the tech to create space fairing vehicles and ended up surving the 4th calamity due to not being on the planet. The tech looks different due to advancements made over the centuries. If she is an alien, she witnessed the 3rd calamity and decided to save a tribe of ppl who worshipped her or that she led.
Thoughts?
