    Rise of zilart storyline

    Spoilers:






    Something has been bothering me, if the zilart had the whisper of soul to comunicate their thoughts to eachother, how come Kam never knew Eald would betray him? Is it because they can only read their thoughts when they actually try? Or because they can only read eachothers thoughts when they allow eachother into their minds? But if the latter is true, what was the point of the whisper of soul for the kuluu?

    I recently got rank 5 for another character, and in 1 of the cutscenes it seems Eald has to actually try to read our mind. I would guess that Kam would trust Eald so he didn't try to read his mind. Or Eald could have came up with that idea on the spot (unlikely).

    Being able to send thoughts != being able to read thoughts.

    That's how some people consider telepathy. I see it much the same way, Eald does have the ability to draw thoughts out of you, doesn't mean that Selth' or Kam does.

    Also once watching Eald do it, he has to focus and almost strain to do so. It certainly would be considered a social faux'pas to force someone's thoughts out of them.

    Agreed with cassiraa.

    Alternately, there is no telling what kind of effect that coming into contact with the mother crystal had on his powers.

    I tend to think that like brothers, both had abilities that one another didn't have. One was a strong melee fighter, with immense physical strength yet weak in magic, while the other was a bit more demure in physical strength, but very strong mentally.

    I would also think that the whisper of souls would only be used on the Kuluu? Maybe the Zilart weren't paranoid but I wouldn't imagine them spying on eachother.

    Yea but the zilart used it to read the Kuluu's thoughts, not send them thoughts. But Kuluu != today's people of vanadiel, so one could say they were mentally stronger and needed that to read them.

    Im gonna go with what Sept sead, the zilart read eachother's thoughts, but Eald was strong enough to hide his intentions from Kam because of the effects of the mother crystal, this also would explain why Eald could read a non zilart's thoughts (you), but Kam never attempted it.

    Not to mention that when Eald saw the vision of paradise so did everybody else, and it never mentioned him intentionaly sending it to them, it just said they saw it to because they were all linked.
