For whatever it's worth, some moron went to Twitter and waterboarded SWTOR writer Hall Hood with this very notion a few years back, only for Hood to respond with "it's probably just a stylized filter on the cinematic."

When you bypass the primary material and directly badger the author and even they tell you that your argument is wrong, it's probably a good time to give it up.

But I guess some creatures are more persistent than others.

Here is a video depicting that upon return to Ziost, the sun is the same color it'd been after the cataclysm:


This is a chart depicting just how much power output the sun lost:


Probably makes Ziost the best feat in the mythos. Thoughts?

• Exar Kun's amulet
  
• Ragnos's sceptor
  
• Battle meditation from Kaan
  
• 1 hour sorcery/ritual prep
