Hmmm, what if Subani and Christopher Crimsonheart are one and the same?
Perhaps that's why there was no big ceremony. Cristopher Crimsonheart was just a persona used by Subani to temporarily help Maplers and the Mapleworld. It would explain some things I think. After he "died" as Christopher Crimsonheart, maybe he went on to master the pirate skills as far as incorporating them into things. It might be that in his grave, he left some sort of way to find him if need be.
Of course I think it would be rather interesting if Cristopher Crimsonheart is the opposite of the Black Magician. Perhaps both are avatars for the enduring struggle between Subani and Naricain. Or they could be Subani and Naricain, or it could be they're both apprentices of each of them. Perhaps they're the children or the spouses to each of them? After all I'm pretty sure they've never specified what genders Subani or Naricain were, assuming they had such things, just as they haven't specified family or many other things. So many possibilities at the moment it's hard to say for sure.
Speaking of the two of them, has anyone considered that the Antelion might actually be what Subani sealed Naricain away in? Perhaps that was why he founded the Keep; to guard over the captured demon and prevent the dark forces from reawakening him. Which leads us possibly to the Black Magican or some other dark force awakening or freeing him. However maybe Subani set a spell trap, as insurance so that the continent would vanish to Versal or somewhere else if something like that happened. Or perhaps the reawakening/freeing warped the fabric of reality and/or time and made it vanish. Could it be he was the darkness that fell upon the world of Versal and ate up much of the sun?
Anyway, I'm fairly sure that the puppetmaster behind the scenes in Masteria is Naricain . . . or the Black Magician . . . or Naricain acting through the Black Magician. XP Sometimes it's just too hard to tell where they're going to go with things.
So in total, I think maybe the PQ is to find Cristopher Crimsonheart/Subani before the dark forces can. Perhaps after doing that, we'll get Versal, and have to travel over there to put a halt to the dark forces there. Of course that doesn't mean the defeat of the dark forces, it just means they'll pop up somewhere else in all likelihood. Perhaps they'll even do limited time events similar to the Haunted House in NLC, minus the NX. Something along the lines where it changes the Maple world permanently? Or at least makes it permanently changed for those that do it. Perhaps the pqs can still be repeated, however it's more a clean up action or something along those lines? Or perhaps a training dummy brought about by Subani after you defeat them the first time to keep your skills honed for whenever the real one must be defeated again?
Hmmm, well, I guess that's all that I can think of for now. Perhaps NxProse's answers will reveal more.
