who is the ancient fuelweaver really?

[fabin]

i've been wondering about this for some time now, and my little peanut brain can't seem to connect the pieces

ok, so, in the metheus puzzles there's the mural with all the history of the ancients. it shows the cane-bearer and torch-bearer being equal in power, until the cane-bearer empowers the shadows, all the while the torch-bearer seems to be lacking in power, until eventually they die... BUT, in the same murals, it shows a skeleton figure with horns pointing downwards, emerging from the shadows, possibly being summoned by the cane-bearer

so this really puzzled me. what or who is the ancient fuelweaver? is he an even more ancient skeleton, infused with shadow magic? is he either the cane-bearer or torch-bearer? or could the odd skeletons be another species of ancients? i dunno man :(

Canewielder

The murals' skeleton most likely just means that Ancients used shadow magic to create skeleton slaves, most likely for heavy lifting and other physical labor

The AF's body is some sort of... ancient-er skeleton but the mind is that of the Canewielder. It's just a classic 'a vessel for a being'-type stuff, not resurrection, the odd skeleton is not of an ancient

YO MAMA ! (hu hu hu I still got it)

To remain on topic, just like Szczuku said. Those odd skeletons are here just for the work, the AF is a vessel containing the Ancient mind of the Cane wielder who has returned with pure items of  nightmare fuel, the shadow atrium and the energy of the ancient gateway to then sadly remember those awful memories of flesh turning into dark puddles …I think. If someone can add something or correct me, I won't mind.

it's a skeleton made of fossils extracted from stalagmites, powered by both the atrium's most powerful centralized shadow magic and a shadow "heart" dropped by presumably the most powerful pre-rift shadow creatures

but those stalagmites are fossilized trees, then you remember trees

Spoiler

and the ancients are insects, yet this has bones and a heart, but that's nothing compared to grass gecko 

With the sheer amount of time involved, and interdimesional portals being involved, it's difficult to deduce details.

They are living trees, very different, living trees don't have logs, only living logs but stalagmites don't drop living logs, only normal ones therefore they were normal not living trees

I see people all the time asking where is AFW, who is AFW... but nobody asking how is AFW

Considering birches can change forms both ways, making a distinction may be superfluous.
