So so far in this living story we know that Scarlet is the big baddie behind it all, perhaps.
You know who I think is behind this all, why Scarlet is doing what she is doing? She is white mantle.
So first Scarlet is theorized to be the person behind the Molten Alliance. But why? What was the point. They apparently found some kind of new metal from this alliance and these two factions working together. So now Scarlet has some kind of new metal.
Then she assassinates a captain of the council in lions arc. Why? Well we do know that it was from when some of the emissaries that were there put things into the effigy. It was a Chemical reaction. Why were they testing something like that? Majory investigate and almost had a solution, but was folied by a mysterious person. Someone told her there was more at work behind the scenes.
The Zephyrites come and the Aetherblades attack the kite baskets and try to retireve something from the wreckage. What is this thing that they want back so badly?
Now this living story they’re using STEAM portals. Steam Creatures are implied to be from some alternate future or dimension. Why does Scarlet need time travel or dimension travel? How is she/he using it to teleport to locations? Using inquest research into Chaos energy?
Here is my theory. Scarlet is researching this travel method and is apart of the White Mantle. What could the white mantle gain? Well we know that there is only one Unseen One left. How could he possibly stand up against his enemies by himself? He would need Mursaat from an alternate dimension or the past. Is the last Mursaat Scarlet? No, he is not.
Scarlet is Kiel. Wait wait, hold on. Why? Kiel has almost been there in every story instance. She is the only new character they have developed through the living story. You may be asking ,why? The Unseen Ones are notorious for manipulating people. They did it with the rise of the White Mantle. Scarlet is White Mantel and she is Kiel. She uses the Molten Alliance as a chance to increase her standing with the lionguard and help with southsun/refugees. She then uses Dragonbash as a way to assassinate a council member and give her a chance to gain power in Lions arc. So now she she has power in there and has heavy influence in a major city, she can set her sights on her main target, Kryta.
Ok ok, so say Kiel is Scarlet. What could she possibly gain from attacking the Pavilion? So say the Queen is murdered. Who do you think would try everything he can to take power and lead Kryta? Cadeacous. There is already confrontations of the shinning blade and the ministry guard (under cadacous’s thumb). Why does the Ministry Guard want in there and why is the Shinning Blade taking a stance on them? Ansie knows. She has an idea of what is going on.
So basically Scarlet is Kiel. Kiel used the MA, Refugees and Dragon Bash to increase her standing in Lions Arc and give her more power. The developers said our nemisis is someone we know and it doesn’t deal with dragons. What other storyline is reasonable to developer in this game that doesn’t deal with dragons. Palwa joko is out of the question. So the white mantle is the only other one. She is trying to take over the two major human cities, Kryta and Lions Arc. She is the only other character that has been developed in this living story.
If you doubt this theory, answer me this.
Why the Molten Alliance? Why the alliance between INQUEST and Pirates? Why kill a councilor in lions arc? Why attack DR? What forces are behind Majory’s backstory?
Also I think Canach is gonna come out of no where and be a hero and be apart of the Braham and Rox party.
