Tribe of Ancients: Difference between revisions

Undo revision 4181830 by 96.241.194.198 (talk) No speculation
(→‎History: I have checked the text dump and multiple scripts. The game never states the Magician’s apprentice founded the Tribe of Darkness. In fact, given that they were “never seen again” after splitting off and very likely helped make Flopside, the EARLIEST they could have broken off was 1500 years ago.)

According to Tippi, '''Merloo''' was very wise in his time and is even thought to be the author of the [[Light Prognosticus]] (although authorship is also credited to Merlumina). He has the appearance of a mustache-less, green-robed character, but while the other sages look very similar to the "[[Shaman]]" character encountered in the game, Merloo only bears a passing resemblance to Merlon and Nolrem. However, Merloo is said to be a powerful, dimension-controlling magician, which is similar to the "Flip Wizard" Bestovius, a descendent of the Ancients (and possibly Merloo) who gives Mario the ability to [[flip]] into the third dimension.

In the Japanese script, he is mentioned as having future vision, although this is unmentioned in the English localization for reasons unknown.

'''Merlumina''' was a member of the Tribe of Ancients. 1,500 years before the setting of ''Super Paper Mario'', she was told to protect the Pure Heart in Yold Ruins and await the [[Mario|hero of legend]]. 1,500 years later, her ghost still waited for the hero to arrive. She is the only member of the sages to be met by Mario and his friends in-game. She is credited with writing the Light Prognosticus by Merlon, although Merloo was also said to be the author. She is distantly related to Old Man Watchitt, with whom she telepathically communicated while impatiently waiting for Mario.
