I haven’t posted here in about two years, but the other day I was chatting with a friend and member of this board, and we came up with some possibly breakthrough theories. I would like some peoples help and opinions on these ideas.
Theory I: Shadow Swords = Illuminati
Alright this one here is nothing new and probably now considered being fact. We believe that when the Lyn attacked Lord Bellow and he sent out the “shockwave” the swords some how changed from the swords of noble justice to sword of a corrupted and abstract justice. However some where in the game there is listed seven Illuminati and only three shadow swords, this leave four swords accounted for and my only problem with this theory. This is where I feel as if we may have found some thing. In Dream Estrana there are nearly countless amounts of absorbed auras, but there are four auras in particular that stick out in my mind, the four shadow plunges. Why are they there, why are they shadows, and how come they are so powerful. Well we believe when Lord Bellow sent out the shockwave that change three of the sword, that the other four unaccounted for Illuminated were destroyed and absorbed into Dream Estrana. Now why these four were destroyed and the other three just changed I am not sure and this is were I would like some more ideas as why.
Theory II: Aubuta = Last Illuminati
A popular theory is that both Gaius and the Harbinger, who are quite possibly one in the same, possess an Illuminati. This theory is supported by the fact the Rhue’s Shadow Sword is unable to attack either Gaius or the Harbinger, and is actually repelled. We believe that an Illuminati is responsible for the repelling. Well according to my theory above the seven listed Illuminati where either changed or absorbed into Dream Estrana. Except that the man in red states that one of the sword was not found. So the unfound Illuminati would have been unharmed by the shockwave due to the fact it wasn’t there. Also since this last Illuminati wasn’t found it’s quite possible it wouldn’t be listed in the book with the others, meaning there is actually eight Illuminati. I believe some how this eighth Illuminati fell into possess of Kalmer, who then gave it Gaius to further establish him as his “perfect blade”. Now why I’m certain that Kalmer is the one who gave Gaius the Illuminati, well Kalmer has a Shadow Sword and appears understands a lot about the swords nature, so it’s possible to assume he knows the same about the Illuminati and there nature, such as repelling Shadow Swords. All this knowledge would become relevant when Rhue attacked Kalmer and all he says is “Aubuta”. Aubuta could possibly be the name of the eight Illuminati, and he says it because he realizes he’s being attacked by a shadow sword and that if he had the Aubuta he would be safe of harm.
We have fragments of other theories but currently aren’t thought out well enough to be considered legit. As for now I would like to concentrate on these two specifically as I consider these to be the building blocks of our ideas. As I stated before I would like to discuses these and would like everyone’s opinions. And real quick I’d like to give credit to my accomplice on developing these theories, Phantom Slasher aka the Cheeto.
