I always just assumed it meant they were an Archon and nothing more, I mean it was already established that the Circle of Knowing were all Archons in 1.0. Also yes, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn are the combined forces of the Circle of Knowing and the Path of the Twelve. The big difference though was that in the past (1.0) the Circle of Knowing had an agenda to defeat the Primals, and the Path of the Twelve had an agenda to protect and cultivate adventurers with the Echo. Now that they have become the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, the Circle of Knowing's agenda has pretty much taken over completely, and you no longer get the feeling that there are others like you in their ranks but that you are the Chosen One.
I love you Sounsyy.

Scions have Echo?
-NO! they do not. Cannot elaborate. Most scions have echo, because they are part of Path of the Twelve. Whereas Circle of Knowing are archons from sharlayan.
Circle of Knowing actually Archons?
-Circle of Knowing ARE Archons! Archons goes back multiple eras. Near end of astral era, people that remembered the past will come to eorzea and inform them that Umbral eras are coming. Those prepared people will survive. This happens repeatedly every astral era closing. Different Archons every time. Circle of Knowing BECAME archons. Tattoos on their neck will be explained 2.4
((I already forgot what the tattoos mean. oops. Also iirc, Circle of Knowing + Path = What we have now?))
Back on topic however, the fact of the matter with special mounts is that RPers live in individual little bubbles where all of their story goes on for them, and only occasionally do their bubbles collide with other peoples bubbles. Just because one guy is riding around on a Behemoth doesn't necessarily mean he is aware there are 50 other people riding around on Behemoth's as well, and just because you've met all 50 other people doing it doesn't mean you should treat him any worse than the first one you met.
Just on Balmung alone there are HUNDREDS of RPers, we are not a small tight knit community where everyone knows what everyone else is doing, there is bound to be overlap on things that are supposed to be rare, making them not nearly as rare as they should be, but that's simply the nature of the beast.
