Masteria Expansions, Names and the proof for each

Is it possible that the people Masteria had been in "suspended animation" while in Versal?

That could explain why Lukan had no recollection of the fact he'd been in Versal for 1000 years and how he's still alive, and if Tomlin Prendergast isn't a ghost, that could explain him as well.

But what I DON'T get is, why hadn't these evil Versalians rob Crimsonheart's grave while it was in Versal? Is there some kind of condition that prevented them from doing such?

Well, there's another possibility we haven't really talked about much (though I believe it's been brought up before), and that is that the passage of time in Versal and the Maple World aren't the same. It could have been gone from our world for 1000 years, but only spent 50 years in Versal's time frame.

Still, if this were the case, or if they were in a suspended state like you suggest, you'd expect to see a lot more people still alive from that time period. you'd also expect Olde Sapp to be pretty much intact, which it obviously wasn't since they built over it. The only person we know for a fact was alive at the time of Masteria's disappearance is Lukan. While it seems likely that other people were at the time (Poor Athena pierce, first Ossyria cracks in half, then Masteria disappears. XD)

There probably is some form of protection on it to prevent it from such attack. I think I'm going to take a look at the graves again, where are they? xD

It could be that the Versalians didn't realize Masteria had appeared and/or had a chance to explore it until very recently, if passage of time is equal. If it's not equal as mentioned above, then that makes it quite a bit simpler.

You also have to keep in mind that while we can't read Versalian, they probably can't read our language either, so they had to deal with that for quite a while.

If you want to check out the tombstones again, though I haven't really seen much of a change in their resolvability, they take the path below the door to wolf spiders, and there's a stone on each map after that.

Err, because when Bigger Ben was opened the pathways leading to the gravesite were opened as well. Perhaps it was discovered by a certain Baracade brother who ended up opening it.

As for the whole 1,000 years gig, it seems that Elpam has a fair ammount of knowledge about the uses of time travel. Now we know that while he knows a fair amount of stuff, whats the likelyhood he wasn't the first person in Versal to use these theories?

The versal grandmasters hear of a legend of an immortal warrior. They are getting old and fearful of death. They decide to hop to a dimension where this long lost fable came from. Insert attempt to pull Crimsonheart back to the world of the living by plucking him before he dies. This fails(blame amoria again...), bringing the wrong knight to the future. They figure there is one last attempt to find immortality, find the grave and find the legend.

Of curse this idea is dead because if they were really smart, they would have gone after the Barricade brothers for the location of the fountain.

XD that last part. :p

that's a pretty nice idea, though John said they hadn't found a way into Crimsonheart's tomb yet. I think solving the Tombstone Riddle will be part of the next CK expansion.

Well, the MesoGears area is the catacombs beneath New Leaf City. And New Leaf City had been built UPON the foundations of Olde Sapp Village. The catacombs contain some of the ruins of Olde Sapp Village, and according to the quest where you tell Jack Barricade that Crimsonheart is buried in the MesoGears, he says that Christopher Crimsonheart had been buried at his birthplace in Olde Sapp Village.

It wouldn't make sense if they had an underground village and needed to go down a tower to reach it; and besides, Olde Sapp Village is underneath what is now New Leaf City, so naturally, it hadn't been underground in the past and weren't in these catacombs. Therefore, it can be assumed Bigger Ben is a recently established structure, which happens to lead to those catacombs from the old city; which discredits the possibility the area hadn't been opened up yet for them.

Well, it doesn't necessarily discount the idea. It could be that while they were building Bigger Ben, they accidentally discovered MesoGears beneath it. MesoGears would have been sealed off before then. As you said, MesoGears is a catacombs area under the city, and it wasn't built by the NLC citizens, but that doesn't mean they knew it was there. The Versalians could simply have not been aware of where Olde Sapp's ruins were located.
