anyways randomly remembered eden-6 has fuckin witch covens. like . Whats up with that. Especially w the fact that jakobs only settled the planet 300 or so years ago and the implication is that there was no humans on it beforehand. Did their like ship janitors suddenly become warlocks when they landed or was that already established

Ok I was gonna make a post about something else related to Wainwright and Clay but I looked up Eden-6 on the wiki and I didn't realize that it was a moon. But it makes sense. Not to spill a bunch of information from my astronomy class but moons are much more likely to be habitable than the planets they surround. Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, has a thin layer of ice protection a huge planet wide ocean that is theorized to maybe have life, whilst Jupiter is a gaseous Jovian planet that wouldn't be fun to live on. Also depending on how big the solar system is, Eden-6 could be fucking huge because the bigger the planet the more time it takes for its iron core to cool, thus creating a magnetic field to keep an atmosphere and keeping the planet geologically alive. Its the sort of thing where Mars is what the Earth will look like in billions of years after our core solidifies. Is this interesting am I cool

In Borderlands 3, it's noted that any planet with Eridium outcroppings has an Eridian Vault. So, that begs the question of why Eridium shows up in Athenas despite the fact that there's no Vault shown or known to exist on the planet of Maya's birth. I'm of the mind that there is a Vault, but ancient Sirens opened it, destroyed the Vault Monster inside, looted the Vault, and sealed it completely.

Interesting theory, but there are a few holes in it. For one, Eridium did not actually begin appearing on Pandora until after the opening of the Vault of the Destroyer. While Promethea has had a Vault open before the Vault of the Rampager, Eden-6 has not. The Jakobs family has spent generations ensuring no would-be Vault Hunter could open the Vault of the Graveward because they didn't want to start another war between the Corporations. With this in mind, why does Eridium appear on the surface of Eden-6 before opening the Vault of the Graveward?

Another thing I would like to point out is I find it highly unlikely the Sirens would coalesce to open a potential Vault on Athenas, especially after they scattered across the six galaxies before Nyriad's return to Nekrotafeyo.

This is a bit of a stretch, but I think the most likely in-lore explanation for why Eridium appears on Athenas is due to influx of Sirens that flock to the planet, as noted by Typhon DeLeon.

"There's no place in the galaxy with more Sirens than Athenas. Must be somethin' in their water! Or Sirens were drawn to the place by some sort of... I dunno, call?"

- Typhon Log, "Sleezy Monks"

Finally, and an admittedly more boring explanation, is that the level designers wanted every Location in Borderlands 3 to drop Eridium in some capacity, whether it be from breakable Eridium outcroppings, Eridium containers, completing Optional Objectives in the three available Circles of Slaughter (Cistern of Slaughter, The Slaughter Shaft, and Slaughterstar 3000), or defeating Bosses.

Spoilers for BL3:

The Echologs from Wainright Jakobs and messages left by Typhon DeLeon detailing how he struggles to aim due to blindness in one eye should really be heard more. Wainright feels like he cannot take over the Jakobs’ family business (making guns) because he’s unable to shoot. He feels like a failure and “not a real Jakobs”. He questions his place in his own family and his manhood. He gets extremely drunk in an attempt to forget his misery and just ends up even more depressed. Then, Sir Hammerlock meets him and builds up his confidence, convinces him to actually become CEO of the family business when Wainright’s father dies. That using a shotgun is just as good as aiming with a pistol. If that isn’t a beautiful relationship I don’t know what is.

Eden-6 is a lovely vacation spot by pat-auctor on DeviantArt

Been playing Borderlands 3 again, but on the PC this time. Really having fun with the current Zane build I am running which I lovingly call "the perpetual chaos and destruction machine".

[suffering-and-happy-about-it]

I have to admit that having the game's audio playing in my earbuds is still fucking getting me bcs you can H E A R everything.

For example, I hate Eden-6 with all I got (but on the other hand, I stan Wainwright and Hammerlock), but the Jakobs mansion is freaking me the hell out. The sounds man, wtf.
