Something I keep going back to over and over again in my head is - How does Halmarut not only have enough knowledge of Zenos to recreate his last weapon but also have an understanding on the dynamic of his and WoL's relationship/dynamic and his intents to bring it up to us? Her words to us were absolutely a warning to heed the path we tread so we don't meet the same fate as Zenos but I really want to know how she has so much foreknowledge about him as she does.

So the longer time goes on, the more I start to go “what if…” to a crack theory I shared back in May. I still very much believe it’s a crack theory as an fyi but it’s interesting to consider haha. Things we know - Varis was 20 when Zenos was born strongly implying Carosa was around the same age or a bit younger (like 18/19). We know Ascians can change appearance and hop bodies. Mould the body they are in to better suit them, as Emet does with subsequent bodies to make them more like his ancient form. We know the young au ra woman in the trailer is likely Halmarut and that it’s implied something happened to her. We know the fragments of a sundered convocation members soul exist across the shards. Consider - How does Halmarut not only have enough knowledge of Zenos to recreate his last weapon but also have an understanding on the dynamic of his and WoL's relationship/dynamic and his intents to bring it up to us? Her words to us were absolutely a warning to heed the path we tread so we don't meet the same fate as Zenos but I really want to know how she has so much foreknowledge about him as she does. Carosa was the Sources shard of Halmarut and died in childbirth or soon after. This allowed for the Fourths share to eventually be raised up into its seat and become the current Halmarut. And Halmarut, in her current form, has those memories and has been following her ‘son’ for longer than we expect and that's the reason we have zero information on either her or Carosa and why she has so much information on Zenos. This also kind of ties back to my theory that Zenos was created - Emet engineering things to see what happens when one of his sire - who carries his ancient blood but inherited none of his abilities - has a child with another Ancient. Again, absolutely crack theory don’t argue logics with me cause I am aware it’s fucking wild lmao.

This is Zenos as a toddler to me, behaviour and apperance.
