Talk:Tuaparang

Thought this would be interesting -- the four card suits are sometimes aligned with one of the classical four elements, especially when used in divination. Hearts=water, spades=air, clubs=fire and diamonds=earth. Not sure if this'll have any actual effect on the game itself, but if it does you heard it here first! 124.171.27.245 10:03, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Blados and Chalis
Are they really member of the Tuaparang? When Alex, Blados and Chalis talk short before the end battle, Blados or Chalis reveal that Alex is no Tuaparang (but only a "friend" of the Tuaparang boss) and then Alex says something like (don't know the exact words, only the content) "Let's tell the truth, you aren't from Tuaparang either, you are Dark Adepts and also only working for the Tuaparang!" --91.4.221.70 05:21, 21 January 2011 (CST)


 * Found a forum, where this is discussed: http://s9.zetaboards.com/The_Temple_of_Kraden/topic/7256035/1/ --91.4.221.70 05:25, 21 January 2011 (CST)
 * There's also a video from the final scenes and people analysing it: http://boards.goldensunrealm.com/index.php?topic=21254.0 Alex clearly says, that the soldiers and Blados and Chalis are NOT Tuaparang. --91.4.221.70 05:31, 21 January 2011 (CST)


 * I just watched the video, and at about 2:32, Alex says that "the Tuaparang are scions of the Umbra Clan". According to my dictionary, "scions" means "descendants". Also, Alex doesn't actually say that the soldiers aren't Tuaparang; he only asks whether or not they're Tuaparang. While I suppose it's possible that the Tuaparang are just one faction of the Umbra Clan, I don't think we have enough info to completely separate Blados and Chalis from the Tuaparang.

 * To me, it sounds like Alex was merely questioning Blados and Chalis's loyalty to the Tuaparang, I think that factions have formed within the Tuaparang, though there is no conclusive evidence either way. Blados and Chalis are referred to as Tuaparang at various points throughout the game, and since we have no solid evidence otherwise, I don't think it should be changed.~ dkpat 11:16, 21 January 2011 (CST)

Possible Goals Discovered
Right after Tyrell joins and you are sent to find the feather, approaching Isaac (head down the stairs in front of the cabin to find him on a cliff out of reach) will cause him to engage you in conversation. After talking to him at least once, he will reveal that someone is targeting the Wise One and that this someone holds a very low opinion of the Wise One. To be fair, this could be a plot point to be resolved later, but I think this could explain why the Tuaparang seemed to be targeting the area around Mt. Alef with the Apollo Lens.
