We know for a fact that the great divide killed the god-king and his army, so if Aer was around before the divide, harnessing a material that grants the ability to essentially ignore gravity, especially without having to make a spirit pact with animal spirits, would not only grant him great power, but it would also give him the ability to share that power with people to make himself look like a god and help him achieve one of his goals, that being that he wanted to be seen as not only a god, but the only god left. I'm led to believe that the memories of people that the player encounters through the game (the blue ghosts when you hold up the lantern) are from both before and after the great divide.

Additionally, the player is not pulled toward islands from any other angle or direction other than down.Ĭomric, I think the notion that it's the material that adds these weightless properties makes a lot of sense.īlckstrs, if the previous points are correct, then the only question is WHEN it was mined. It's also probably important to note that gravity still exists after the great divide, and it's not relative to the islands, since the player is always being pulled down, even when not over land. There are also plenty of objects, most objects in the world, that still abide by gravity wholly. I think it's interesting to note that not only does the ground (that makes the islands) float, but objects in the world float as well, like old pieces of certain structures and statues, and these objects float of their own accord and are not touching land. Maybe the devs had in mind to explain it in what would be the sequel but unfortunately we'll never know.


the various flying islands or crystals that levitate the islands.
