This refers to Aether and Lumine directly. However, one of the siblings have been led astray, and it's up to the other to fix this. The Gnostic Chorus currently tells of a pair of siblings whom rightfully have claim on the throne of heavens, where Phanes used to reside. When the Traveller first meets the Abyss sibling again in Dain's first quest, they specifically say the words "Let's go home", implying that Khaenri'ah, no matter how familiar the feeling of it's people, is not where they originated. You see, whilst the Abyss sibling insists that Khaenri'ah is their home, the Traveller seems to think entirely otherwise. However, now that Phanes and their shades have been revealed as more than weird religious scribbles on Mona's astrolabe, I think I may have another theory all together. After all, the first thing we see is Lumine and Aether with Golden wings. So if Albedo is an alchemic homonculus, and the Traveller was noted by Venti to not be human, (as well as the oddly well timed doubt cast upon the Traveller's humanity during the Enkanomiya Event questline), there's already a precedent for Khaenri'ah earning Celestia's wrath by making an artificial god capable of using all elements, similar to the Primordial One, whom I'll call Phanes because it's easier. Albedo also seems to heavily imply that the Traveller is like him. A near perfect human replica, but unlike humans he does not age. A homonculi whom unlike whopperflower mimics, feels a connection and sense of duty to his friends and family. ![]() Alchemy is humanity's attempt to copy what the gods can do, use the elements and building blocks around them to create something new. You see, Dain insists that Alchemy brought ruin to Khaenri'ah. So for a while now I have had this idea that Khaenri'ah's arrogation was unrelated to the abyss, and instead the creation of Aether and Lumine. I'd like to preface this by saying that the Phanes in greek mythology is where a lot of my basis comes from, and I believe rightfully so due to how similar The Primordial One and Phanes really are. Then the next morning, Hemara herself would emerge from Tartarus to clear away the dark mist allowing the light of Aether to envelop the earth once again.TL DR: Aether and Lumine are directly related to The Primordial One, and Paimon, as well as Istaroth and Asmoday (Sustainer) are all shades. Parents and children would work closely together, for each evening Nyx and Erebus would depart each evening from Tartarus, and would bring forth the misty darkness of night to the world. In later Greek mythology, Hemera all but disappears, with her role being taken up by Eos, the Greek goddess of the dawn. Again, there was a separation of roles between light and day. Hemera was of course the sister of Aether, and was considered to be the first Greek goddess of the Day. There was also a third air, the dark air found underground and the darkest recesses of the earth, and this was Erebus. At the time, the Ancient Greeks did not necessarily connect the concept of light with the sun.Īether, as the upper air, was the air breathed by the gods below him was the air breathed by man, an air that was connected with the goddess Chaos. Aether was thought of as the early god of light as he was believed to be the god of the blue, upper air that surrounded the planet, the air found just below the dome of the sky god Ouranos. ![]()
