It seems like a lot of it is more word of mouth (in context of the game) then say... established by something. For example the Lamia assumption from Sastash HM that is misinformation vs Lamia being examples of manufactured weapons by the Allagan.(08-21-2015, 11:59 AM)Berrod Armstrong Wrote:(08-21-2015, 11:52 AM)A Wrote:Oh I think it's pretty established that they did!

Later on, when the passage mentioned the flood ("So did the hubris of the magi bring forth the Sixth Umbral Era... and with it a mighty flood that swept away entire civilizations, leaving naught but ruin and suffering in its wake. "), there's no mention of the elementals THERE either -- and if I'm not mistaken, it was the elementals who caused this flood.
Your post got me thinking about it, but suppose the elementals really didn't have anything to do with flooding the world, and they just took credit for the act to better establish their power? Â It's not unlike something a terrorist organization would do.
All in game lore text on the subject of Amdapor has already been provided for discussion use in this earlier post. If there are texts I have missed (short of quoting the entire 1.0 whm questline, which Im considering...) please lemme know and I will add it to the compilation.
How much -could- be "deliberate misinformation" by the devs?
They're withholding information because of critical story points in the next expansion that features white magic and elementals. They elementals get mad and flood the world again.
