Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

On Aging and the Golden Sun (THEORY); Fixing a lot of unresolved issues in TLA

So, I don't have the game yet. However, some details of Dark Dawn: namely, Kraden's mere existence 30 years later, and Alex's extreme youthfulness, have led me to believe this:

The Golden Sun Event is the reason.


Alex was said to have gotten near eternal life, as well as near limitless power, because the Wise One transferred some of the Golden Sun to the Mars Star and Isaac. I always took that to mean that after the GS rose, the Elemental Stars chose masters, and the Mars Star went to Isaac, who carried the Mars Stars with a portion of the Golden Sun in it. But now, I see a very different picture:

The heroes who stood at the top of Mars Lighthouse when it was lit were bathed in a small portion of the Golden Sun, that had been transferred to the Mars Beacon (remember the light glowed golden and black for a moment, before finalising at Red?): enough to revive their parents back from the dead, enough for Garet to feel like his hand was being grabbed, enough to slow down the aging process for various members. Isaac looks like he should be 30, at most. Japanese depictions of men around 50 are almost ALWAYS grey-haired, and wrinkled. Yet, Isaac is 47, but looks quite youthful.

Kraden should not have been able to live 30 more years, when he doubted he would even be able to make the journey north again to visit Prox, something that might occur in the next year or two. But the Golden Sun affected him too, and extended his lifespan.

Very well; no more spoilers for me now. I won't be touching this sub-forum again until I get the game.
