Maybe but it's odd that for beings that are sleeping for centuries it just so happens that they're waking up at the exact same time. You'd think it'd be off by decades not months. I guess that's just for dramatic license.
Yeah the problem is there's basically no evidence for this at all in the storyline. I guess since the temple seems to be not well known such an organization could have existed and been destroyed/abandoned while being unknown but it definitely seems like the weak link.
Yeah it may be a weak link or it might be explained soonish, devs have held a lot close to their chest and Arigon has only been able to decipher some since he and others recognized some of the myths and played with those to see what devs might have been doing and then got some interesting tidbits from the devs.
I have myself put forward some outlandish theories or ways dev may go, especially since they do not feel fully bound to those myths from my perspective. One of the more interesting things will be indeed the relation between I and E, fight to the death or love to hate each other and whether there is another very old one playing a game from the background for his/her purposes with the two sisters?
This might also have quite a big impact on their bloodlines as mutually supportive or mortal enemies, which could have a big impact on whom they have left at this time. Have Hera and other descendants of I successfully culled E's lines of especially stronger childer and is that is why E is left almost alone, besides her bad habit of feeding on her guardians, but also I seems to have just C possibly? It could be even more interesting if those bloodlines are mixed (I once did have an outlandish theory on that
) where C is on I's side and Arcas is on that of E. One reason he has hunted her in past and still does, that could feed into Arigons ideas as well and if true could make some loyalties very fluid in rest of game with both sisters getting closer to rising and increasing their pull.
Also what is the true nature and goal of Temple, to watch and help I raise as non impactful as possible or to keep both asleep or does it serve I, both sisters or even Tiamat if last is part of the game? To be honest though both sisters have likely incredible pull and influence on other vamps, well not many of the elder ones that have lived under them might want to see them back and rising with all that would entail except for their childer and possibly even those might have decided to work together to let sleeping dogs lie. Also leading to VG (or eve both sisters) needing a new unware tool to help her/them rise. Last if they either do work together or have some pact between them where they want to duke it out together again and both work to that goal.
Interest of I in MC can also go a few ways. VG is also called the mother if remember right in some code (actually that would be also Tiamat's role in myth
), so there might be something there. It can have to do with MC's role that either will decide who wins based on what side he takes cause of whom he brings along (C most likely and force of temple) or he will be a bridge between parties somehow. Possibly though, like I said before if we are not somewhere after the end of the I myths but somewhere in the middle, it will be MC's role to descend into the Underworld and free someone. Now if last is true it will be interesting how devs see that, since until now no portals to other dimensions where those old vampires have own realms have been mentioned. This fight they are going to has a great option to setup such a need for MC, just it might not be physical but mental especially since Arigon based upon his spoiler might be right (grats on that one) we will see SharonsavesLaurie play out finally.
We are getting in an interesting phase of the game, where some of those questions where the game will go, whom is who and what is what and how close they have stayed to the myths and what version they used will be answered and options of where devs can take it will be cut down based upon what will happen. Though devs can always throw us a plot twist like Trading Places at the end instead of the Big Battle.
Arigon, I heard a rumor that one reason Mc will not go Bearish is due to not finding good renders of bears. If that is true they might want to take a look at Light of my Life. It has some pretty good bear renders and pretty sure that dev would not mind sharing where he got them.
