[Thor's Adept]

In the Mercury Lighthouse, you need Ply to get past several puzzles and so. SO only members of the Mercury Clan can enter. And in the Elemental Star Room there is water. But I might be wrong. The lighthouses were probably build to honour each element and to hold each Elemental Star.
But Mars Lighthouse is build near Prox where Fire Adepts live, Jupiter Lighthouse near the former Anemos City and in Imil, they tell you that the Mercury Clan used to live here, but that only Mia stayed. I think that is just recent, but still: why was Venus Lighthouse build near Lalivero. Did Earth Adept used to live there?

[Dullahan]

It looks like you've just answered your own question.

[ForteGX]

I'm really confused...what?

This doesn't make any sense at all.

[Teblor Tribe]

I get it that kind of adept use to live by that kind of light house. Fire to Mars. The only one left out is Venus. But why did you say sealed away by the Mercury clan?

[ForteGX]

Each clan defended they're own lighthouse. So what makes Mercury so special?

[odyssey_ml]

hm... venus.... The Suhalla desert is earthy right?
the Suhalla Gate is earthy right?

I think alot of Venus Adepts have lived there!

[ForteGX]

Does the Mars lighthouse seem really out of place?

[odyssey_ml]

Mars Lightohuse is in prox where Fire Adepts live..... Behind ML is a dark matter of mysterious plasma and lightning

[ForteGX]

Yes, that's true. But shouldn't the Mars Lighthouse be someplace warm? Like, near a desert. Or a volcano. The frozen wastelands seems a little...strange.

[Teblor Tribe]

Venus lighthouse seams most out of place to me.

[ForteGX]

It's next to a mountain range and a desert; out of place?

[Teblor Tribe]

Just there are no Earth adepts the Sheba fell there, but shes a wind adept.

[ForteGX]

Sheba's story still doesn't make any sense. She's kinda' like Piers, just tossed in as Adept fillers.

[odyssey_ml]

No actually when you think of this the story will go to GS3
Sheba probably fell from Anemos (which is probably a topic in GS3)
They say Anemos is the moon.....

About Piers, he got washed away on a tidal wave and ended up on a beach near madra and got misttoken for a pirate

[Teblor Tribe]

We know more about Piers's Background then Sheba's. And they never explained why Anemoe's flew away.

[odyssey_ml]

It's probably cause Alchemy was sealed.... Anyway that tidla wave of Piers was caused by the coming back of Poseidon

[Teblor Tribe]

And Poseiden came bake because the lighthouses were light.

[Echo_djinn]

yes all true but at the begining they said the venuslighthouse crumbling caused the tidal wave which one is the right one?

[odyssey_ml]

Venus Lighthouse crumbled and split in four like Mars Lighthouse did, this is because... When Mercury Lighthouse was lit... The balance was disturbed and earth wind and fire weren't in the world... this balance became less when Venus Lighthouse crumbled then wind and mars weren't really active... Also because venus Lighthouse is of the earth elemental, the earthquake occured... Now when Jupiter Lighthouse was lit, the balance really was disturbed. The world would be covered in ice, cuz Wind and Mercury worked together to make ice overflow this world... because there is no Fire..... The ice wouldn't melt...
When Mars Lighthouse was lit the balance was restored so it split in four.... Also the connection between Mars and Venus was restored causing the tremor....

the Golden Sun was formed, so balance was restored and Alchemy brought back to the world

[Lightning Star]

Very well explained, now...my head hurts :mellow:

Isn't it funny, when Menardi spoke of Mars and Venus working together? Does that mean that there was supposed to be an actual order in which the lighthouses were supposed to be lit? Maybe you could first light Venus Lighthouse, then you would light Mars Lighthouse, then Jupiter, and finally Mercury?

But yeah, lighting Mars Lighthouse would mean lighting all of the others, because the puzzles in it represented all the elements, as if it was the final task. That kind of makes sense to why they made a "U" shape in their Lighthouse trek.

[ForteGX]

Menardi said that earth and fire share a symbiotic relationship. All that meant was that earth and fire depend on eachother to exist.

[Echo_djinn]

which ofcourse makes sense fire needs fuel to burn and earth supplies it and fire is needed to get rid of the old and dead plants on the earth(there natural means of decomposing)

[Teblor Tribe]

Ya The mercury lighthouse made the fontain folw again (Water Related). The Venus lighthouse made an earthquake (earth Related). But what did Wind and Fire do?

[Echo_djinn]

Jupitar realeses the wind to make prox a frozen wasteland and mars made everything balence and gave warmth back to prox(the balence is the elements balencing out over the world)

[BloodPhoenix]

it's all about balance if water and wind was the only two lit, the world would freeze over, but mars would heat it, and if venus was too it makes it all right! lol

[odyssey_ml]

Mercury controls the amount of water and the temperature of all things....
Venus controls the stability of the earth.... And all life....
Jupiter controls the wind, it is useed to cool the world together with mercury
Mars is used to heat the world....

These four lit is the balance in the world....

When mercury lit, Poseidon arised and the world (Prox) cooled down alot
When venus lit, life was restored and the earth was stable again...
when jupiter lit, the cool wind blew through the world, however working together with mercury, made the world 'cool'
when mars lit, the earth was heated, the tremor there was caused because the relationship between Venus and Mars was restored....

Also Jupiter and Mercury work together to keep the world cool..... and they support a life need : Water.... Also wind is needed forl ife for thingsl ike oxygen

[Teblor Tribe]

I get now they all work togather. But didn't Piosiden return because of Venus being lit not mercury?

[odyssey_ml]

actually both.... Venus caused a tremor and mercury did watery stuff.... (waves)
Poseidon returned from under the sea to the surface

[Teblor Tribe]

It was from throwing the elements out of line.

[odyssey_ml]

it is just as Mercury and Jupiter did.... to overcold the earth....

[BloodPhoenix]

Exactly BALANCE! it's all about balance! lol

[Water Assassin]

OK, we have established that there is a balance.

Posiedon awoke when the Merc. lighthouse was lit, namely due to the fact that the oceans were warming. That was why all the dead fish were appearing. When the Venus had been lit Posiedon sensed it in the elements, so he naturally launched a tidal wave in the direction of Gondowan. The earthquake broke the peninsula off mainland and into the ocean. It also forced the continents together.

Anemos was a great civilisation, similar to Lemuria except full of jupiter adepts. When the flow of Alchemy was disrupted the city must have lost control of its power and floated away.

[odyssey_ml]

excactly right..... Anemos is now he moon and was one of those thriving civilizations Kraden was talking about...
