Okay so basically I’ve been trying to figure out what this all exactly means. Also get ready since this is a little lengthy
Note: This was made by someone who has never played Arcane
That is the tweet right there of the whole mysterious 7 - 3. 1 and 2. 11 is standing still. 7 is coming home. After finding out that this is also connected to a song that also has a correlation to the unknowns I decided to simply look up “Eleven is standing still” and presses Search. After a couple of seconds I’m positive that the song related to this is a song called “Jimmy” by TOOL. This is a screenshot that is highly similar to the tweet.
If you look at each lyric you might have had an “oh” moment like I did. With this, things make a lot of sense. First off we are going to talk about the 7-3 portion.
7-3
As you see in the tweet the 7-3 was the only text that was side ways which is very suspicious. Anyways in the song the first lines are
What was it like to see
The face of your own stability
Suddenly look away
Leaving you with the dead and hopeless?
Now at first I thought about the whole 7 and 3 thing that maybe the 3rd Unknown relies on Torren since the 7 is looking away from the 3 no matter what rotation you put it. But that didn’t make sense to me since the 3rd Unknown is behind the creator of the universe. Also how do you create a universe on accident. If that isn’t a big flex, I don’t know what is. Anyways due to this illogical theory I switched the roles around. What if Torren relied on the 3rd Unknown in some sort of matter. The face of your own stability suddenly looks away. That could mean the 7 and 3 were in the rotation it was since the 3rd Unknown is above the 7th. Now after that is
leaving you with the dead and hopeless
As you know Torren was sealed away by the Unknowns. Now cleary all of the Unknowns couldn’t have sealed Torren away all in agreement and especially all be in the same place at the same time, which only means one thing. A selective group of the Unknowns decided to seal him away for the greater good. In Arcane for you to have released the seal, 4 people would have to do something specifically to undo the seal.(4 points of the 3rd Sea) If 4 people can un-seal it, it only leads me to believe that 4 people sealed Torren. Now there is the possibility that other Unknowns were at the scene that didn’t take part of the sealing but we know now off of this theory that either 4 or more of the Unknowns sealed him but not all. Why did I bold that, I don’t know either. Now how could they have done all of this with successfully sealing Torren. I mean Torren is a very powerful person. In fact, he’s the strongest human. But they would have had to despise a plan to seal Torren away and to make that process complete. Someone would have had to be the ring leader in all of this because they knew Torren was too powerful but also knew who Torren was as a person and was a very trusted individual, one of stability for Torren. And what better person would that be none other than the 3rd Unknown. The person that Torren trusts in or relies on the most. Epic Plot Twist. This would explain the “Torrens Lament” prize that you would have gotten if you had defeated Torren in Arcane were to continue as he said in Discord
Okay just because it’s from 2018 doesn’t make it not reliable 0KaY!
Now we get to 1 and 2. In the song the next verse is Eleven and she was gone. There’s another line after that but I highly doubt it has significance. When you replace the words Eleven and she with 1 and 2 you get the product of 1 and 2 was gone Now this could mean three things out of the top of my head
- The First and Second Unknowns are gone or dead
or - The First and Second Unknowns were not present during the time of Torren’s sealing
or - Simply something we don’t know yet
Most likely it’s either Option # 2 or # 3.
That’s all I got for that one. Also with 2 replacing she, does that mean the creator of the universe identifies as a woman??? This is just a random idea that has no other proof behind it.
Now it’s time for “11 is standing still”. To make things less lengthy, I’ll also add the “7 is coming home” part. Now in the song, this final section is
Eleven is standing still
Waiting for me to free him
By coming home
I know, very ominous.
Now with this, we know that there is a huge tie between 11 and 7. Now some of you are probably saying “7 can’t be free, es no posible” and you’re probably wrong or right but let’s get my theory or what I’m thinking out of the way first. Now very recently at the time of this post about a month ago, tech level said on Discord “y’all lucky torren is long dead“ which completely threw my idea out the window. Or did it. Maybe at the time Torren was dead and maybe he’s dead even now. But what I don’t believe is that he will continue being dead. I mean you can’t go anywhere if you’re dead. 0r CaN u??? Now before I continue on Torren we have to discuss the 11th Unknown first. Now if you’re completely blind you won’t see it but in the song there are the literal lyrics Eleven is standing still, waiting for me to free him. Now we know that the 11th Unknown is sealed away and that he is waiting for a specific person to free him. Now in the song the person references himself as me. He is waiting for me to free him. How will he free him you ask? By coming home. Now in tech’s tweet it says that 7 is coming home. If you put all the pieces together, they make a picture and that picture is clear. The 11th Unknown is waiting for Torren to free him. Most likely the 11th Unknown is sealed away but I’m sure the question we would all like to ask is how. “If Torren was sealed away, how can he go free another person? Torren is such a hypocrite”. Now this leads to two main guesses but don’t worry I favor one over the other which is why I’ll put my least likely idea first.
Option 1
Torren is actually freed from the seal. In Arcane, players had the ability to free him but that never happened. If it was planned for him to be freed and to fight him, that could also be implemented into the story
Option 2
Torren is still dead/sealed away. “But how will that explain everything else StarForDays?” Here I’ll explain. In this Option, The 11th Unknown must have had been sealed away before Torren was ever sealed away. Why? Well that’s because Torren would have never know that 11 is waiting for him unless there was a way for them to communicate even through death. Hades I’m looking at you. If that is not the case of them having communication through death then it’s simple that one of Torren’s goal was to try and free the 11th Unknown. That could have been a deciding factor on why the some of the other Unknowns sealed him away since he was trying to free # 11. I think a question that everyone is asking right now is why would Torren want to do that. What does Torren or the 11th Unknown benefit from this. The answer: I have really no idea. For Torren to try and save 11 though leads me to believe that they are connected some way and that could mean biologically or even emotionally but this is not proven by anything else. This can also be another reason for “Torren’s Lament”.
If you think I messed up on something or my argument is invalid, please let me know :3 That’s all folks
Oh and one last thing before you go. With all of this theories it begs a question that I don’t understand. Why would the Unknowns seal Torren or even the 11th Unknown away instead of killing them. I mean boom death, problem solved but no that doesn’t seem to be the case. I mean 4 or even more unknowns against One Unknown. I mean if 11 is sealed away then that means that the weakest unknowns there could have been # 8,9,10 but this does not make any sense since Peacekeeper is supposedly an Unknown after Torren is sealed I believe. That leades Unknown #6 or higher to have been another sealer of Torren and we know that there are gaps between each Unknown on power based levels and Unknowns 1-6 aren’t even human. So the question is why do the Unknowns seal each other up instead of the option of killing each other?
