Talk:Aldia, Scholar of the First Sin/@comment-77.146.164.61-20150205113535

Since the story have been told upon the wiki... I would like to be one of the first to put some theories about Aldia. Here we go !

Aldia, the brother of King Vendrick, the great mage and researcher (scientific) of his kingdom, made experimentations on the giants... and unlike the Inter-world's legends : he did not become a dragon, freeing itself of time, light, and darkness... he became... this! And this... because frankly, I do not know what it might be, is intimately connected to the flames... and trees... So ! We know the giants, by dying, become trees... We know that souls are like flames... And finally, we know that Hollows are technically immortal. I see three ways at present to explain things:

1) Aldia, a mage with great powers, fascinated by the flames (probably became Pyromancer), attempt experiences, to break free from the chain of the time, and became, thanks to the souls of the giants, that creature in the shape of a corrupted tree.

2) Aldia, probably guided by his fascination with the primordial fire, tried, through the souls of the giants, to recreate a new time line thanks to the flames of those souls ... the experience failed, and it became this thing conscious and perfectly detached from the timeline... It has become the fire itself.

3) Aldia, at some point in his life, was corrupted by darkness and probably became himself a Hollow... and to save ( I do not know how ) his mind and memories from the curse of the undeads, he tried the experiment on the souls of giants... to give birth to this creature.

In all the three cases, I rely on what he says and his appearance : His twisted and swarming shape like a Hollow ; The flames that covers his body ; His appearances all directly related to Bornfires ; His hatred for humans ; His voice, duplicated, making at certain points hear that of Nashandra (Or of "another" queen of darkness...) Also, his knowledge about the past times, even the age of gwyn reign ! In any case, Aldia was looking for something... but what ? It was not the fire: it was bound to it physically ! was it the Dark ? Maybe he wanted to die by repeating the cycle ? No... if he knew the past history, as well as he claimed, he had to know that it was hopeless... Was it the Light ? But which if it was not that of fire ?

I hoped for answers... And like every Soul's Games, I've got more questions...But unfortunately, I think that there's too much of them in "DS II" : more than every others. ..

Still, remember that it was just a pre-lauch ! There's still hope with the "True Scholar of the First Sin" that come in april !
