Yeah, I kinda blundered on the Sun Stone. I think I miss interpreteded a quote. Sorry. Anyway
Schala and Janus ceased to love their mother because she went obsessed with Lavos and a futile quest for immortality, not because of the Earthbound/Enlightened Ones separation. This separation is a social matter that doesn't depend on Queen Zeal alone, but on the whole society. Sure, Schala would like everybody to get along in an equalitarian and perfect world, but it's a complicated matter. Even if the Queen would want to reform the society, the citizen would certainly not agree with her.
Yes, I realize that too. But still, you don't start disliking someone over one thing. I mean, would Schala be totally loving her mother back when King Zeal was alive? That whilst the King and Queen were together, they could not change anything when they were the most powerful in the entire kingdom? Unless Zeal and King Zeal were totally sadistic and mean before the King's death, you'd surely thing that they wouldn't have been so mean to Earthbound ones.
[Woman]
Long ago, the Enlightened Ones and the
Earthbound Ones lived as one.
Long ago isn't really long ago. Since the woman establishes that one side already had magic, and one did not, and they lived together, that truely cannot be that long ago. If anything, probably less than a hundred years. Heck, we don't even know if the Zeal family are the first rulers or not. Maybe their family has passed it down like Guardia. Who knows.
Are you serious? Two cities, three palaces, the first airplane of history, a whole bunch of continent raised to the sky, and something like a few thousands of written books, in only a few years? There is nothing in the game that implies such a thing. Kingdoms aren't built in one day.
Hmm? It's CT. Anything can happen in it. We have people being ressurected, girls who can fix robots who are 1000 years from the future. We have girls who live connected to a monster for thousands of years. We have a time-space research centre that established an island in like 1000 years or less, but prior to 0AD. Anything can happen.
* The Mammon Machine was made right after King Zeal died by the already-existent Gurus
How is that relevant? We know the Mammon Machine was made after King Zeal's death. And the Guru's had been the family advisers for years.
Those lacking magic have always lived beneath the clouds, as the «Earthbound Ones.»
And this is a contradiction to what another woman said. This is just a social pride thing.
A Sun Palace already existed to house the Sun Stone. It was merely sealed up with the elemental weapons when Lavos was located.
So there was a search for a long time.
Humans have had magic for three million years.
They seemed to have contact with the flame 3,000,000 years ago. But that does not mean that they have had magic for that long. We just know that their brain tripled in size in the spam of 3,000,000 years. But the very ability to control magic was unlocked. What matters is how they learn to actually harness that power. We don't know how long it took. But if Zeal was truely built out of sacrafice and hard work, then obviously Magic wasn't the initial answer to the kingdom being created if people couldn't control it properly.
Anyway, I think I worded my past argument.
I don't think that Zeal was created in a day. I'm trying to say is that the Kingdom probably existed for a long time, but the fact that it's so magically advanced and all, and people don't care about living anymore and just want to sleep, it seems like Zeal put the kingdom into their golden age. I mean, the Guru's could have written all of their books whilst they were on the Earth. The Sunstone could have kept them going and all. It's uncertain if Zeal is just the flying archepelago because Queen Zeal controls the whole universe from the standpoint of the enlightened ones.
And i'm not saying the Queen herself raised the island. I'm saying that if it was done after the king's death, and because the quotes are misleading, she would have used the help of the Guru's, the Mammon Machine and everything to get them afloat.
But yeah, don't get me wrong. I like playing on both sides. This time, I just want to see how far this argument can work. It's not my fault that some quotes are contradictory, not encisive enough and others are vague. The whole mystery around Zeal is open to interpretation.
