I recently rewrote the article to correct a lot of misinformation. One thing I changed that's been reverted is the castle they lived in linking to [[Castle Bleck]]. From what I've gathered, it's just a popular fan theory. I've played the game a lot and am very familiar with the lore, yet I don't remember any description, dialogue or even environmental storytelling confirming it (though keep in mind it was a few months ago I last played). Granted, it is a very reasonable fan theory and one I personally believe in, but it is just that, a fan theory. Is it perhaps mentioned in the original Japanese?[[User:Firegloom|Firegloom]] ([[User talk:Firegloom|talk]]) 06:39, January 6, 2025 (EST)

:I actually wasn’t aware it was on the previous edit when I added it back. I suppose it’s never stated explicitly, though I do believe it’s heavily implied. It’s known as the "Dark Castle" in Japanese, much like the Tribe of Darkness (though it seems to be a different word for "dark" that’s used). Its primary enemies are the mysterious-in-origin Magiblots, whose appearances and Japanese names evoke the [[Shaman]]s (Tribe of Ancients). It also explains where Count Bleck got his castle from, and it stands to reason they mentioned the castle in Carson’s dialogue for a reason. I’m not sure if the Japanese text is more clear on this or not. --[[User:Seandwalsh|Seandwalsh]] ([[User talk:Seandwalsh|talk]]) 10:21, January 6, 2025 (EST)

::I see! I'd say "Dark Castle" seems to more describe its appearance, instead of something like "Castle of Darkness" which I think would halfway confirm it, but I still think all the evidence (although quite weak) still warrents the theory a mention. But it should be clear it isn't confirmed, and in my opinion a link wrongly conveys it as a confirmed fact, even though Castle Bleck isn't even mentioned in the actual text. Even things as obvious as the last freedom fighter being the founder I still made sure to say it's only heavily implied, since it's technically never stated directly.
