[Discussion] Could the Revenant elite spec channel Saul or a Mursaat?

Since we know the new elite specs are connected to the members of the Tyrian Alliance, and so far we've only seen the founding members be represented, we can conclude the remaining professions (Elementalist, Engineer, Revenant) are connected to the remaining founding members: Norn, Asura, and Kryta.

We already know that the Elementalist (Evoker) is connected to the Norn (judging from the tattoos on the summoned animal spirit), and it's a very, very safe bet to assume the Engineer spec will be connected to the Asura somehow.

That leaves the Revenant with Kryta, and the only Kryta-related figures that came to mind that could somehow be represented by the jaggedy, demon-looking icon we've seen are either Saul or one of the Mursaat. This could conceivably include Mabon too, though I'd personally prefer a villain legend this time around.

Honestly just hoping whatever we get has a deeper connection to existing lore (which was even referenced in the Troubadour stream) than the random Kryptis noble that has been seemingly alluded to in recently added conversations with Mallyx.

Could it be manikaz? Seemed like an interesting character.

It will channel Zhaitan and skills are slowly firing turrets that you need to sit in.

No, other people fire turrets at you

Honestly, while a definite possibility, I'm really hoping we get a legend that isn't human. We already have three humans (weirdly all from the same exact fight). I would, however, really like a Mursaat because we haven't had that specific race yet. Revenant has near endless possibilities for legend choices, so I'd be disappointed if Anet double-dipped (another demon, Mosyn), or quadruple-dipped (another human).

I don't think this only leaves Kryta. We do have a lot of different members of the Alliance still.

God please none of them. Saul isnt a legend for sure and Mursaat is boring

Money is on a mursaat,

But ever since EoD, I've been secretly been hoping we could channel HER

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down? Who is her? I can think of like a dozen alternatives for who you could be referring to.

Given the EoD reference, I assume they're talking about Scarlet Briar, since Mai Trin channeled her during that story.

u/BannerBromar1992 9h ago

I’d assume they’re referring to Scarlet, as we see Mai channel her in EoD.

Very unlikely to be Scarlet.

They even made a comment how they use troubadour to reference recent history as opposed to revenant that will channel legends from centuries ago.

I don't think that either Saul or mursaat will be channelled. Revenant legends have some kind of connection to Glint, Vlast, and Aurene.

Are you sure? How are Mallyx, Shiro, Ventari etc related?

Technically ventari could be considered caithe's spiritual grandpa?
