Two Fingers - Tumblr Posts
I just remembered something I never figured out - why is the grandam we meet in Belurat called the Empyrean Grandam? I remember looking up grandam and it’s just an old word for grandmother, but why Empyrean? Is her grandchild an empyrean? Was she once an empyrean? I remember her talking about her son, wanting him to fight alongside the Divine Beast. I got the feeling that the hornsent we meet could have been her son that she speaks of. I don’t know if there’s confirmation of this, but if you don’t summon him during the fight against Messmer, he mentions his mother, as well as his wife and child. Could his child have been chosen as an Empyrean?
I just found it odd when I read her title because empyrean’s are chosen by Two Fingers, and hornsent seem to be more focused on aspects of the crucible rather than Fingers. Obviously there are ancient ties to Fingers in the Land of Shadow because of the Finger Ruins, Metyr, and I assume Marika was chosen by her TF here. But idk it struck me as odd… is it possible there are Two Fingers still choosing empyreans in the LoS? I wonder if the hornsent did once have a connection to the Fingers, but after Marika’s ascension and subsequent massacre of the hornsent, they stopped believing in their guidance.
I just wonder if I missed something or it’s left purposefully ambiguous. One day I’ll properly do some research before I make a post just asking questions but today is not that day
This is the source of her being named as the Empyrean grandam. You get it from her after you defeat the Divine Beast and speak to her a couple times while wearing the lion head.

Figured this rant was a better way to phrase my thoughts. This lore is driving me mad.
