With the introduction of Gnostic elements during the Crossbell arc, Falcom opened a whole new can of worms for theorists to engage with. What follows is a translation of a brief Japanese theory that approaches each fan’s favourite issue – who is the Grandmaster? – from a Gnostic viewpoint.

Before ‘hai yorokonde’, there was proto Star Door 15
Trails in the Sky the 3rd, as we can now officially call it, provides a wealth of background information of the Zemurian continent and its history through its gaiden, or side stories. You’ll be able to enjoy dozens of these once the games hits digital shelves in 2017. Some of those, however, are inaccessible through the game and are hidden among the tens of thousands of lines that did make it into the game. Today we got one of those: the pre-release or prototype version of Star Door 15.

Location of the next Sept-Terrion
Having moved on from the apparently non-existing prototype Doors in Sora no Kiseki The 3rd, I dropped by on my favourite Japanese page full of crackpot theories and ran into the following one, which is actually supported by an in-game quote.

[Admin] Renamed Tag: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Howdy, everyone!
Quick update to tell you that Trails in the Sky the 3rd has been announced by XSEED Games. As a result, the “Sora no Kiseki the 3rd” tag has been changed to reflect the English title!
Carry on!
The Second Grandmaster
When one mentions the Grandmaster, another immediately thinks of the leader of Ouroboros. However, the universe of Kiseki is not limited to one Grandmaster; there is, in fact, a second one. Yet it is the first one we have a name and identity for.

Since it does come across some spoiler details, I’m going to put the question behind the cut.

Prediction: The final boss of Cold Steel III
This is going to be a very short post. I believe I know what is going to happen in terms of the final boss of the Erebonia arc. The answer may (or may not) surprise you.

Observations on the Black History and the mysteries of Erebonia
Gu4n has already done an excellent job summarizing the Black History and the possible nature of the remaining Sept-Terion so I won’t go over the general material again (here at any rate). Instead I’d like to offer my own thoughts on the two treasures found within Erebonia and some of the other mysteries that have been presented to us.

What happened during the Great Collapse
For an event as major as the Great Collapse, there is hardly anything we know about this historical catastrophe. We know it marked the end of the Ancient Zemurian Civilisation, which in its entirety disappeared without a trace bar from ruins throughout Liberl and in Grancel’s museum, and plunged the world into five centuries of Dark Ages. A whole continent, split in seven factions, collapsing at approximately the same time. Virtually everything we know about it comes from Sora no Kiseki; both the Crossbell and Erebonia arc hardly contributed to our understanding of the Great Collapse. So, what happened?
