While editing my Arcane Odyssey preview video, I ended up looking closely at basically every AO teaser. Here are a few things I noticed.
First of all, we can use a couple of images to piece together Edward Kenton’s story. Based on this camp here, it seems like he lives alone. Vetex said there is one NPC with a quest who lives on Elm Island. Therefore, we can infer that he lives alone on Elm Island.
But why? Well, he’s called the deserter, and he can be asked about the Grand Navy.
We can infer that he used to work in the Grand Navy.
Let’s put it all together. Edward Kenton used to work for the Grand Navy. He deserted them, and went to live alone on Elm island. Upon doing his quest, he joins your crew.
We also got a pretty good view of Redwake Harbor. I’m not sure if this is most of Redwake or not, but I have a good understanding of this area’s layout now.
There are a couple of banners that can be spotted around Redwake.
Unless “Redwake’s Banner” means “A banner that exists in Redwake but does not represent it,” one of the two banners belongs to Redwake itself.
The grey and red one might represent the jaw pirates, but I am doubtful. Why would they have banners bearing the symbol of a group that Raided them?
(Also, this image provides the name of another building in Redwake, but I don’t know which.)
Maybe the grey and red banner represents Redwake and the orange one represents the Grand Navy. However, that doesn’t make much sense. If the area is controlled by the Grand Navy, how come the player has to fight the pirates themselves?
I looked around for a while, and could not find the names of any other groups of people.
(Actually, there’s a group of bandits called “The Spire Bandits,” but they’re just part of a side quest.
We can also see that Vetex appears to be a part of a guild with the shark symbol. Only… the symbol doesn’t behave exactly like a guild logo. There’s a weird gap between the logo and his name.
It also appears in front of his name when he chats.
This doesn’t seem like a change to how guilds work, either. Artanaris is in the same server during the video, and his guild logo behaves normally.
I think it’s an NPC faction like the AG in AA. This theory also supports the shark logo being the logo of the Jaw pirates, as Vetex is a negative rep in this video.
Moving on.
This house looks nothing like anything else in Redwake. In fact, what if it isn’t in Redwake at all?
Maybe it’s nestled deep in the jaws. Maybe it houses someone important. Someone unusual. Someone who prefers to live in solitude. Maybe a sort of… MYSTERIOUS HERMIT (DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUN)
Maybe this one was obvious to you guys, idk. Anyways, I’ve spent long enough on this already. Create Topic.
