Thread: 7.3 and that mysterious ________ (spoilers obviously)

So, I was just sitting here bored while waiting on my roulettes to pop and I had a thought that may or may not fit the lore, but the established lore doesn't seem to be so solid anymore anyway, so why not. What if Calyx is so invested in the key and our soul crystal because the mysterious ascian he talks to at the end of 7.3 is someone claiming to be Azem and sending him out to get more information on an imposter (us) and get their hands on the key/stone?

It could be a random ascian claiming the title or one who truly believes they are Azem for whatever reason.

It could be a forth unsundered ascian that even the 3 others were unaware of for reasons.

It could be the actual Azem shard of the Ninth who was raised to the seat when we couldn't be found or were discovered to be a minion of Hydi or discovered their own identity.

It could be an Ultima shard posing as Azem since the unsundered are no longer around to call her bluff, a theory I really like since Ultima being the new big bad would make total sense.

It could be someone who unlocked many of the ascian secrets and are an imposter themselves but still needs the key to move between shards.

And that is just naming a few. There are so many possiblities and I think we may be missing the mark by focusing on the other missing ascians. On top of that, knowing the way SE cannibalizes their own stories, Calyx it feels is already being set up for a redemption arc and could even be the Ardbert/Azem Shard of the 9th. Which at some point he could discover, like Ardbert did, and help us defeat the imposter. Which could likely happen while we are all in Amaurot 3.0 Or he just already knows and is trying to learn more about his own soul/destiny while playing the game with the mysterious ascian and will reveal it, dues ex machina style yet again, when we are in the final 8.0 confrotation.

Anyway that is just my bored mind wondering around

Edit: Guys this is fiction. Literally anything is possible, esp considering they already do not adhere to established lore. And I was just having fun thinking about this lol
