KMST 1.2.413 - More Skill Changes (2)

Just a heads up, Aswan is very likely going to be for level 170 and up.

Goldstein NPC levels you up to 170 for non-Phantoms.

Well, let's pray you're right, and that the area doesn't pull the same bullshit that Future Ereve and Henesys did in making only a handful of quests that all involve killing and/or obtaining like 800 of something and then not even giving a proper story line to the quests until the end.

IT WAS ALLLL A DREEAAAMMMMM!!!!

L? Like:

 Spoiler

So wait is this an actual Phantom quest line? Like "Oh heard a rumor Hilla is in orbis ima check it out. Oh its just Spiruna's assistant my bad". Or is this just a miss-under standing by players? So as for black mage generals we have:
1. Van Leon
2. Akyrum
3. Demon Slayer
4. Hilla
5. Magnus
6. That one tree guy whos name starts with a G
7. Orca/Hiver/Black witch?

It would be thus:

1. Von Leon*
2. Arkarium*
3. Demon Slayer
4. Hilla
5. Magnus
6. Goire
7. Orca

Note: * denotes generals who possess an English variant and I've used the English variant.

EDIT - Orchid as Orca's English name makes sense if Su is Lotus, as they are both flowers.

Orchids are an indoor type of flora, portrayed by their elegant purple blossoms. Meanwhile, Lotus is another name for "Water Lily".

My stepmom works with Orchids on a daily basis, can't believe I didn't see the etymology behind that name earlier.

It seems Aria was the Empress before Cygnus was. A new video shows her clutching the Skyia (the thing that Hilla is after) on her deathbed, which happens to be Shinsoo's wing. Phantom then breaks into tears after seeing her.
Phantom's obvious affection for Aria is confirmed now, he transforms a card into a rose and gives it to her at one point.

Then Freed meets with Phantom and I assume this is where Phantom is like "I join you guys we take down black mage".

Dang it, was just about to post that, and from your account to.

EDIT AFTER WATCHING:

1. Loving the insight.
2. Can't wait for a translation on that.

I think that Aswan will be a new area around Ariant. Why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aswan Aswan was an ancient city in southern Egypt. It could be this or possibly the old mining town that was destroyed by Zakum.

Anyone notice how the BGM sounds similar to this one?

Hella is not Hilla. The quest where it is revealed that Spiruna's assistant is Hella already exist in KMS and other versions.

Throughout the plot, Francis reveals the name of a new unknown commander: Magnus.

I know.
From what I read of the Orbis quest text, it seemed like there was a confusion there on the part of the NPC's.

Just a heads up, Aswan is very likely going to be for level 170 and up.

Goldstein NPC levels you up to 170 for non-Phantoms.

Was right about Aria being the previous empress (with many others), so Cygnus is immortal and her knight seem too but somehow in 30~40 years they all get old?
Or is that by being on Ereve they become immortal?

well if being on ereve means that she becomes immortal, then why did aria die?

Simple: People die when they are killed. And considering that Orchid and Lotus were behind her death, it makes sense that Aria died.

Long answer: Aria and the Cygnus crew may be immortal as far as aging goes, however, I don't think that implies they cannot be killed. This is most likely proven by the fact that Shinsoo was not dead (because she's a lot stronger than they give her credit for, much like Afrien), and Aria was... well, human. Also, in many questlines, it's confirmed that Cygnus is pretty young for a ruler (I'd imagine her to be in her teens at this point, due to how even Mercedes questions the burden that Cygnus has to bear - and she's an Elf who has ruled far longer than Cyggie). So here is two theories for you to chew at:

Theory #1: Cygnus was extremely young during the events of the First War, in which case, one of the Knights had to have stepped up as a Regent Empress/Emperor until Cygnus was old enough to ascend to the throne. In this case, I'd PROBABLY put Shinsoo and Mikhail here as a temp until Cygnus was eligible to claim the empty throne.

That aside, even IF Cygnus became old enough to claim the throne, most likely they knew she was a novice at the task - very inexperienced (Mercedes even thinks this is the case). However, this is where Neinheart comes in. Leading to Theory #2.

Theory #2: Cygnus was old enough, but was inexperienced for the job. While they had no one else that could claim the throne (this most likely due to the fact that Cygnus retains the royal bloodline, and the ruler spot needs to be claimed by one of royal birth), they knew that their one shot was a total rookie. So, what better way to help a fledgling ruler than one who has ruled themselves? And I don't mean Mercedes - because she's most likely still frozen during the coronation anyways.

This leads me to Neinheart and Lilin. Neinheart was most likely the ruler of the tribe on Rien, until he noticed that Rien was becoming uninhabitable (or something else, like losing faith in the prophecy). This is when he meets a representative of Cygnus who notices his leadership qualities, and offers him a position he most likely wouldn't refuse: mentoring a ruler-in-training. Most likely, Lilin's tough enough to survive in Rien alone (Neinheart probably coached her and she DOES have a squad of talking penguins to talk to); in addition, Neinheart is reminded of the sin of abandoning his sister (seeing Cygnus with the burden and all), so most likely, he took the offer. As the time passed, his memories of Lilin began to fade, until he no longer remembered her or the hero his clan was waiting for (Aran).

The way I see it, Cygnus and her knights are immortal; however, they can still age until they reach adulthood. I mean, Cygnus's title as empress was bestowed upon her by Shinsoo, if memory serves correctly, so I'd imagine that Shinsoo would also be the one fueling her immortality and thus be capable of allowing her to age like a normal human.

That's the logic I've been following since day one of the Knights' release, and it's fit in perfectly so far.

Hmmmm... this "Phantom" trailer tells quite something.
Aria must've been the empress. Otherwhise, Shinshoo would'ven't guarded her, and she wouldn't hold the "Skyia" if she wasn't the Empress.
"Phantom" must've been the (secret?) lover of Aria. Her death (possibly caused through the dark wings/magican) let him become a hero. He wasn't a hero before Aria died, I recall.
Aria beeing an empress also explains her "Blessing" skill. She is/was powerfull, thus gives Phantom a blessing.

Also, is is just me, or does Shinshoo sound female? Or whose voice was it?

Just a heads up, Aswan is very likely going to be for level 170 and up.

Goldstein NPC levels you up to 170 for non-Phantoms.

It only levels you up to 170 for Adventurers only. This is so that everyone can smoothly test the steal skill of Phantom.

Shinsoo`s voice SHOULD sound female because Shinsoo is female.

okay let's make a list of shinsoo Story:

1. She lost part of her powers, she tells you that in part of the cygnus story line but i really don't remember when, i believe it is when she gives you the buff for 10 Watt.
2. She helped Athena to escape in the aran Storyline.
3. In the alternative future she doesn't boost empress powers, so maybe ereve has it's own power source that only few can reach.

Other things that are related to cygnus knights:
1.Neinheart is lilin's brother but he doesn't remember her, this could happen if part of becoming a cygnus knight is forgetting your past so you can be inmortal.
2.Cygnus is like 10 years old? but Aria was alive like 1 thousand years ago, that leaves us 3 options:

1.Cygnus knights had a empress that we don't know who is between those years (maybe Hillia was the actual empress and she wanted to kill Aria because she wanted the throne for herself).
2.They were under the government of a court untill a empress appeared.
3.Cygnus is hundreds of years old, that would be awesome, but she maintains the emotions of a young girl because her body didn't growth.

What I believe is happening: There is a big power source in ereb that could change the war direction in favor of any side which gives the empress her powers but she can't actually use it because she is too young, Hyllia (maybe she is related to cygnus' family, we don't know much about they) wants to get that power source and that's why she wants the throne, Shinsoo is just the loyal partner of the empress (she is powerful too but maybe her powers comes from the empress and herself).

Phantom's story line needs to reveal how the knights of cygnus really works, if not expect a new class branch after the pirate hero and more revamps (which i really don't want).

I think that Aswan will be a new area around Ariant. Why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aswan Aswan was an ancient city in southern Egypt. It could be this or possibly the old mining town that was destroyed by Zakum.

From the 7th:

Actually, Aswan reminds me of an Ariant that's been weaponized.

Oh yeah, Aswan is also a location in Egypt. There's also a somewhat famous dam nearby.

As for storyline details, I'm content to wait.
That said, it does look like we'll get a large influx of information.
