I'm so sorry you guys, something went wrong with the Youtube upload and there's about a minute of black screen towards the end. Unfortunately I was too late to catch this before most people watched it and I don't want to lose their comments. The only "fix" I can do is cut the section out because that's the only post-release editing Youtube allows, so I have done that. Apologies to channel members since it's their names that have been cut.
Not quite a full-fledged theory, but too fleshed out to just be considered observations. In part two of the post Caribert Archin Quest recap & analysis, we'll be talking about the identity of the "Sinner" - and boy or boy, is there a lot to discuss.

Somethings never really sat quite right with me in regards to the Primordial One... MAY have been Phanes? Why is there room for doubt?!
Well, in this video lets dig a little deeper and maybe we can answer that infamous question - Who exactly IS the Primordial One? Is it Phanes? Or someone else?
