I never said otherwise!!! I just noted that the dev left a back door open and that it is up in the air whether he uses it or not. Nothing more.
Where do you see a backdoor? Finnabair is dead. Dead as the brain of "update when" spammers. They burned her corpse. We could see it. No way the king and two queens of the Ljósálfar made a show for the Callister brat, let alone Ailill and Medb.

He probably meant Nimue's ability to travel through time.
But if it would be that easy Nimue could just as well tell them who is the third party, their reasons, where to attack them, traitors etc.

Also from someone who admits has only met her a hanfdul of times, a creature who generally stays away from the elves and from someone is already proven to be an unreliable narrator (deosn't even know her own Elven history correctly) and most likely only knows what she does about Nimue from rumours and tales.

How many times does this need repeating?

Travel yes, does she have control of where she ends up, does she travel the same timeline and can she interact within it or is she just an observer it doesn't say.
Precisely...also, it's very second-hand information and probably incorrect.

No, that's an assumption the Álfar have about Nimue. Even if she could, why should she do something about it? She didn't prevent any of all the things happened. She could easily prevent all wars, yet she didn't.
Nimue did intervene with Arthur. Her connection to the element of water, represents both life and transformation. So I get where the theory is coming from. Ceolag has said she is dead, so that is the end of it for me. Finnabair won some hearts so I don't think it is unreasonable for people to look at the possibility of her coming back.

In saying that if you kill her at the start, that is the end of it. The MC is moved on so following that path there is no reason to seek her coming back. So as I said, Ceolag has written her off and said she is definitely dead and that is good enough for me. Bad shit happens to good people even in VNs.

There is no trump card, nor a backdoor.
She's death, we are at her funeral, her body is there, which we can clearly see and her remains get burned viking style.
-The End-

The purpose of her death is quite clear, it's escalating the conflict with the templars.
To be fair, we only see her body if we're on Medb's path. It's not entirely unreasonable to doubt her death when it's hearsay from a potentially unreliable narrator.

That said, I very much doubt there's any sort of backdoor planned here. Revealing the whole thing was a big misunderstanding - or worse, undoing it with the atomic-powered can of worms that is time travel - would gut the emotional core of this chapter and call into question any future drama Ceolag might attempt. And, of course, we do see the body if we get the final scene of the chapter.

Seems pretty cut and dry that what happened happened. All we can do now is honor Finnabair's memory.

ikr im still sad when I think about it she had potential to be in my top 5 AVN character list. NGL im mostly planning to side with the Elfs and let the Templars burn because of Finnabair

I think it was good to let her die. Players would demanding her as a LI and Ceo would never hear the end of it. I liked her too and was upset about her dead, but I think she fulfilled her role in this story and one big part of this role is to die by the hands of Templars (or someone else who wants a war between Álfar and Templars) after the son of the Grandmaster of the Templars got an emotional bond with her.

Honestly yes.
She, in what little time she had, was most honest and pure relationship MC had so far.
It wasn't based on any lies, deception, pushes and pulls, no, just proper development.

I consider her the best girl in this VN so far. It's actually incredible how much I liked that one.
So what happened sucks, but it is what it is, Ceolag did great job with love and loss in this chapter.

referring to this:

Or am I looking at the wrong spot?
The whole reason I added that text is because so many people miss it and it's an important part given what Queen Mab says to you about the 'escort' being uneccessary ;)

Guys, I don't know if this question has already been asked, but do you think that there is a chance that Finnabair will live forever somewhere in Valhalla?
