New big theory here (update from an old theory): Ok folks try to bring back some stuff we learned from the forgotten shore. 1. Sunny finds a corpse with Weaver’s mask with the same words written in this very cave “Hail Weaver, Daemon of Fate, First Borne of the -unknown-“. This was found directly under the statue of the unknown goddess. 2. Sunny learns the story of the seven heroes and how they sacrificed many to repel the shadows. The seven heroes includes the Lord, the Slayer, the Builder, the Hunter, the Knight, the Priestess, and the Stranger (who held a shield and who we never saw their face, important details) 3.Sunny finds out that these heroes, decide to “by holding out their weapons”sacrifice their people by and eventually themselves along with the a person who would act as a conduit to seal the darkness. This person had the same face as the mystery God in the temple. With these facts I’d like to draw a conclusion. Each of these strangers were the origins of the Gods, a theory that I originally posted a long time ago. As each represent an aspect of their divinity. Storm= Priest, Knight = Warrior, Lord =Heart/Sun, Builder= Heart/Sun, Slayer= Death, Hunter= Beast. Finally we have the last piece Stranger = Forgotten/Dream. These Gods/heroes would eventually seal the Void within the Forgotten God/Stranger, who would produce offspring, the Daemons, to take avenge her. This starts to fall into play when you analyze certain aspects. For one, the arc is literally called “Forgotten” Shore, kind of on the nose now. Two, the story told to Sunny specially goes out of its way to not show the face of the Stranger, an interesting detail, when you note how Sunny might recognize them given his memory of the mystery Gods face when she is sacrified in the story. Three, in this story, the heroes pull out their weapons on their people. Interesting as it specifically mentions how the Stranger carried a shield, not a weapon, though this can also be said for the priestess. Four, we know she hailed from somewhere else. A stone race, something similar to what the daemon of dread created, maybe inspired by their creator, the Forgotten God. Five, we learn that the Gods may not be good people. As Noctis warns Sunny to never trust the Gods and Hope being sealed by them (perhaps due to the threat she posed) Six, the daemons are the Flaws of Gods, as Hope put it, because they are the offspring of the forgotten god, the one they sacrified and serve as a reminder of their sin and represent their eventual downfall.
Maybe the idea of breaking fate (sunny no longer being enslaved) isn’t actually him no longer being nephis slave but making her forget. the dream god seems to have a focus on memory. This is a bit of a stretch but maybe after he breaks his fate no one will be able to remember who he is similar to the forgotten god.
