Talk:Bleached Bones

Origin of the Bones
Karlos edited the article, saying that the journals come from "different groups". I can't provide clear evidence, but I don't believe that. Normally ANet groups things together with a system in mind. I wouldn't expect them to mix different parts of the game story under a common name.

My theory is that ALL (or at least most) of the bones are remains of the Seekers. I believe that because the journals mostly describe the demise of somebody who explored and wandered the desert, searching for something. This fits with the name "Seeker" and their description in Seeker's Passage.

Karlos: You replaced my words with: "entries ... can be traced to ... the Elonians". By that, do you mean that it was an Elonian who wrote some of the entries? If yes, I wonder what makes you think that. The second entry under Diviner's Ascent says quite clearly that whoever wrote this was searching for the Elonians and following one of their ghosts (probably Turai Ossa). He wasn't an Elonian himself. Also, the writer of the very last entry under Vulture Drifts speaks of Turai Ossa as a ghost. Turai's Ghost has been guiding those who seek ascension for a looong time. There is no indication that the writer or his grandfather has met Turai when he was still alive or that they he is an Elonian himself.

Granted, my theory is more like a hunch and I can't present many hard facts, so in any case I'd choose a wording in the article that makes clear that there is some speculation involved here. -- 08:18, 29 November 2005 (UTC)


 * We can conjecture that they might have been the Seekers, but they could've also been other unnamed grouped. I don't see a direct "trace", so I'm going to reword it. - 18:11, 5 July 2006 (CDT)
