Talk:The All

"A vision induced by Omadd's Machine, which was meant to open the mind to the Eternal Alchemy, showed The All with six colored orbs that represented the Elder Dragons. In the vision, Zhaitan's orb crashed into Tyria's central orb, eclipsing the entire vision; this vision took place two years after Zhaitan's death." After rewatching the cinematic (http://youtu.be/OQGGytoNXk8), it seems that the orb was Mordremoth's, not Zhaitan's. It is quite clear that the orb that crashed into that of Tyria was green (in contrast to the deathly pale color of another orb that must clearly belong to Zhaitan), and the vines that blocks out the vision seem to support this.

Go into Hidden Arcana, into the central room, and look up. That is a map of the all (an image of it is on this aticle). Where the dark green orb was is labeled Z in New Krytan, while the "black" (lime when lit up) orb is marked with an M. Talking to one of the nearby Priory Historians - the dialogue is listed on the Hidden Arcana page - he confirms those letters refer to the Elder Dragons. The crashed orb is Zhaitan, according to the Durmand Priory, and we have no reason to believe otherwise. Especially since some Mordrem have lime glows to them (as well as a supposed connection to Mordremoth). Whereas Zhaitan has a lot of dark green - like necromancers - to him, but never light green/lime.

This isn't a player interpretation, but the own NPCs - specifically the Durmand Priory's - including that of the PC's (via the journal entry for The Machine confirming the orbs are dragons). Until there's reason to believe the Priory is wrong, then I'd say they're most likely right given that we've seen similar color coordination amongst the corruption that befits their interpretation.

Ah, I see. The concept art of Mordremoth has the lime coloring as well, and I suppose that the movement blocking out the vision could be seen as rot instead of vines. Thank you for the clarification. Paddymew (talk) 21:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
