The Hatching Hour Approaches

[Nabiri]

Didnt they Mention something about "Grand Companies" too with the Dreamer's Quests and what not?

I don't recall Jihli's quests saying anything about the Grand Companies.


Here's what I think is going on.
Hatching-tide event is it's own event. Just a thing for easter. There may or may not be something happening with the archons arriving like Jihli predicts.

Storm Over Gridania is a different event. Which will lead to something huge. Perhaps a threat that will bring the introduction of The Grand Companies to defend against it. There is also speculation on whether or not this threat will lead to remakes of maps - especially The Black Shroud.

Those are just what I'm being lead to believe from what we've been given in lore and events in game. Could be totally off.
Just, right now I don't see any proof that these two events are linked. I'm not saying they aren't. Some people are assuming they are with no proof though - jumping to conclusions.


Whatever happens, it's all very exciting. I hope to find out soon if these events are linked, and if not, what will happen in each of them.
