Resolving questions and loose plot ends. Lots of spoilers.

[Mad Mage]

Okay, so there's a few things I'm not quite clear on. I'd probably know 'em if I'd paid more attention.

What did Elenor want to ask Cray? Why did she stay on the exploding Kooluk fortress and die just so she could talk to Cray?

Is anything known about the being Ted temporarily gave his Soul Eater Rune to?

Is there anything new to be learned about Viki or Jeane. It seems not.

Is there any info on the hero's past. All I know is he has no family a was a Razril knight.

That guy who's searching for a lost love. I think his name was Ornan. In the ending it says he never found her. Do you ever find more info about her?

Who is Nalleo's Mom?

Who is Lino en Kuldes son?

That's all that comes to mind. If others have questions, post them here. I may be able to answer some also.

[Glen Cott]

I think that Nalleo's mom is Louise, I think I read that in the comment box.

Also, there's a theory going round that the Hero is Lino's son, and IMO, it seems likely but I think it's just a theory. Confirmation anyone?

[Squirtle]

Well. It's hinted at heavily that the woman using the Rune of Punishment in the intro is Lino's wife, Queen of Obel. I mean, it's almost a guarantee. Hero sees her at the end of the game as the final Rune memory. Lino's story fits in with the Hero's background, where his son was lost at sea (How he drifted to Razril is beyond me! O_o) and then it can naturally be assumed that he was found by Lord Vingerhut and raised as a playmate and friend for Snowe. Also, I would assume that the reason Hero didn't get disintegrated by Brandeau's rune of punishment use was either A) The spirit of him mom protected him, or B) He was born WHILE his mother had the rune on her, thus making him 'immune' to a point. Of course, all of this is speculation, but it makes a lot of sense.

I would like to hear the order of the runes passing. The game mentions so many people who held it (cray, cray's son, ratkgie's father, lino's wife (who may or may not be hero's mother) and finally brandeau, glen and hero. If I had to pose a theory I would say that it transferred from lino's wife to brandeau simply because in the intro it seems that shes fighting a battle at sea with pirates when she uses it. If Brandeau were to have acquired the rune at that point maybe he or one of his comrades could have found the child and dropped him off at razril at some point where he would be raised by the vingerhut family. It also would have made for better story telling if he unknowingly avenged the death of his mother.

[Jeanemon]

No, Lino's wife was the one who summoned it from the ruins, when pirates attacked her ship. Lino tells you in that bedtime story. He, his wife, and their two children were on board. When she used the rune, I think the ship was destroyed and his son was lost.

It might have went to a pirate then, and perhaps Cray came in contact with it from one of his shady dealings. But I think, during that time, he was the kind man of Elenor's memories. He was destroyed from the power, and his left hand was cut off. Then it went to his son. His son used the rune and died. Then I think it went back to the pirates, then to Rakji's father. After that, it went to a pirate named Edgar, to Bradeou when Edgar died, and then to Glen when Brandeou bit the dust.

I think it's been said that the Fog Gaurdian was a desendant of the Cindarians, or something. The valley of Silence, or whatever place Leknaat speaks of, was the home of the Cindar. I really should have read that better.

Viki might be Cindarian as well. In your comment box, she posts a note that says the Fog Ship was farmiliar, or something like that. Of Jeane, nothing else is known.

I think Ornan's love was Louise. He stares at her enough. Maybe he's Nalleo's daddy.

And, yes, Louise is Nalleo's mom. Dario gives you a note that tells you Louise gave him Nalleo as a baby. Louise also drops a note telling you to tell Nalleo that his mother is dead, because she was a terrible mother to him.

Bah. I have questions of my own, but they're odd.

[Alseid]

The woman in the intro is officially the Queen of Obel.

Plus, we see an Obel soldier trying to stop her, and Flair wears a costume exactly like hers by the ending.

Hmm, that answers a lot of my questions. I wish I had something to add. I'm still skeptical that the hero is Lino's son. That'd just be to corny. Lino says at one point that his son would be just about the hero's age. The fact that Lino made the comparison makes me think it's less likely they are one and the same.

[LadyNite]

Yess it seems if hero is Lino's Son makes the story is easy to predict, huh there is no twisted plot in this game, just to plain .

[Makumaku]

What if Cray is Lino's son?

It would explain how he got the Rune on him. Considering he would be there when his mother (The Queen of Obel) died.

But then there's his age. Maybe the Rune of Punishment altered his age somehow? :mrgreen:

I'm not sure I would say "no doubt" to him being the young en Kuldes, but I do agree with you. And I'm still unsure about the ageless thing *twitches* until we know for certain. But, then, I agree with you there too. I just like getting more definitive facts.

[Mad Mage]

Wait, if the runes is split it doesn't give agelessness?

[Lunarblade]

[Beecham]

It is that, so far, the Rune of the Beginning has never existed. They're two components of the full. The Rune of the Gate is split in half, but had existed as a True Rune. Someone else said soemthing of the sort, so I can't claim credit, but... Black Sword and Bright Shield are like the cookie dough and the chocolate chips. Apart, they're not a cookie. But the Rune of the Gate is a fully baked chocolate chip cookie that someone split in half so they could share it. See the difference?
