This immediately puts a big red arrow over Silos or Ramiel, though theoretically it could be any character previously seen in the arc or none of them thanks to the ambiguity of the phrasing. |
| I'd say it's possibly the other way around - the Devouring Earth are Earth's version of whatever the heck the Shivans are. |
The Praetorian Hamidon also had claws and tentacles, according to Tyrant's bio.

What was it in Lady Jane's mission for the midnight squad she was seeking? didn't it turn out to be a vial of Hero 1's blood (I don't remember for certain).
and isn't that what the player finds smashed on the ground before encountering Holtz and the weakened Honoree? I wonder if that means anything.
Also, in that last mission of the Ramiel arc we encounter echoes again, and echoes who seem to know that the character will be a god in a future timeline. I wonder then who put them there? It seems odd that if we were travelling back in time to the location of the well, there would be no actual enemies, only echoes.
Could the memory we see from our supposed future self be faked? I mean, if Ramiel is the letter writer then he has Protean at his disposal too so that could in fact be Protean we see dishing the damage and what not.
Also the Silos of Faathims dimension....Darrin Wade perhaps? Not sure why I think that but hey I am hella sleep deprived right now.
Food for thought, I hope.

I realized something curious about the Shivans, though. They're made of ectoplasm, a blue/green goo. They have cores that rest at the center of their mass. They come from meteor fragments; rocks that pulse with a strange energy that apparently have some kind of sentience about them. And they use human bodies as a host of sorts. Ectoplasm with a core at its center? Sentient rocks powered by a strange energy? And they (can) use human bodies as a host. |

Dear Character... Are we old friends by the time you're reading this? Or do you have no idea who I am? In the end it doesn't matter - in time, you will come to know who I am and what I aim to do. I hope you do not despair about the loss of your double and the fate of Protean. Your double died valiantly, while Protean is where he needs to be at this time. Do you know about the Coming Storm? About Ouroboros? If not, you will know soon enough of the two threats that seek to destroy us all. The head of Ouroboros, Mender Silos, has his own 'followers' that seek to 'save us' from the Coming Storm. I intend to gather my own team of dedicated individuals to ensure that we are properly saved. Protean will be one of them. Perhaps you're worried that I would recruit Protean; you shouldn't be. I happen to know of something that Protean wants very badly. Enough that he would aid my efforts to save all of existence. I say this to you because I hope, when the time comes, you will aid me against Ouroboros and the Coming Storm. Both seek to destroy us; one at least has the common decency to be upfront about it. I will leave you to dwell on this for now, Character. Just know that as you read this letter, I am doing everything I can to save us all from a grim future. I hope that soon you will stand side by side with me to do the same. |

Make for great reading

(I have a pet theory that the Shard actually is Rularuu, but the weirdness is thick enough here already.) |

I don't think they really count.
