Vishkar and Talon likely had a role in the Inti Warriors' downfall. Vishkar, fearing the Inti Warriors' revolutionary solar energy technology, might have tried to acquire it. When the Warriors refused, Vishkar may have sought Talon's help to infiltrate and neutralize them.

Totally possible! Alternative is Oasis involvement as well of course! Doomfist's new lines seem to pitch to Iliari a bit..

Each nation had their own disaster response to the Omnic Crisis and I believe there was a mention of Peru developing something that would match the description of Inti Warriors inside the OW lore bible, which I believe was made before Illari was announced? This ties with Korea's MEKA, Germany's Crusaders, and USA's Soldier Enhancement Program, and I believe some share camaraderie. Reinhardt has a sad kill line when defeating Illari, which not only means he knows the Inti, he also knows how they're powered by captive sun. The Crusaders effectively don't exist anymore once Reinhardt joined Overwatch during the crisis. Idk about the Soldier program but it's interesting that the Inti would be able to continue existing until the ascension explosion many years later. MEKA has been constantly dealing with Gwishin that those bots were really close to killing Dva when all their existing crew are down. Could be coincidence.

Frankly, the thing that interests me the most is that according to a video put up by Omnic Post where he examined the map, apparently the people of Runasapi see Illari as a goddess despite the fact that she has completely isolated herself from them out of guilt and shame. It would be very interesting to see how that could potentially play out in terms of a character arc.

Interesting! Which bit of the map suggests it? The people definitely respect the Inti in general. If a particular organisation or research group is behind their abilities, then deification only works if the people don't understand the tech. I can see them still very much respecting her and forgiving her for what happened, circumstances pending. Be interesting to see more from her!

@@Hammeh it has to do with the broken machine and the text in front hinting that they still honor illiari. Also there is a picture of illiari in one of the buildings ( I think it was right side) just beside the statue ( it is actually fan art that got into the game very cool). That is what is the most interesting that they still see illiari as their hero but illiari has so much shame she just went away.

@@Hammeh At the Inti memorial, there's a large plaque written in Quechen that says something like "praise the child of the sun". There's also a large painting of Illari inside the Inti museum (that was drawn by a fan artist on Twitter). The Omnic Post's video explains it all in better detail.

Im calling it here. Illari probably has some ties to talon (sombra, moira interactions) and will be guilt-trapped to work with them. Shes my fave character but my queen doesnt get more lore than one origin trailer. :(

Solid video as always! :) Runasapi is a really beautiful map, i adore how one side is open air and moutains to represent air power, and the otherside a waterfall to represent hydropower. You can really feel the map as a "green power" hub! The ceviche in the map however... is pretty naked lol, it lacks a lot of the core toppings... (And held near sweets???) Due to the map having a lot of 'block' text, I was expecting audio logs similar to Samoa and the coral museum area... unfortunately no audio logs are in Runasapi's museum areas (maybe they will add this in the future?). I was very suprised to learn that the world knew what Illari did/was involved in, I had presumed Illari was the only one of her people left, seems to be she is the last 'inti warrior' similar to how Rein is a 'crusader' -- it refers to warrior type, not enture people group. I am very happy to know Illari still has people she can return to, but why does she blame herself so harshly? It makes me wonder about her initiation... did she ask for upgrades and it backfired? Did they test on illari specifically and it backfired? Did some kind of meddling with illari occur to intentionally cause the explosion???? I'm so hype that illari has a vendetta and is hunting down the root cause, I hope we get a comic or short story for illari one day to flesh this story out!

The second I heard Moira's lines when being eliminated by Illari, AND after seeing the ministries establishment in Runisapi, I immediately had the same guess. I imagine Moira would be very interested in a society that houses 'modified' people, such as the Inti Warriors, who have managed to harness the most powerful source of energy we know of. It is very likely she tampered with Illari's initiation in an attempt to see what would be capable of an "overloaded" Inti Warrior (reinforced by Illari with her reaction in the origin story) either to bring under Talon's wing or for pure experimentation. Whether she meant for Illari to detonate (thus possibly destroying the knowledge the Inti Warriors had), or if Illari has put these things together and is hunting Moira, is what I'm interested in now. Since Mercy's mythic lines got added to the season after it's introduction, it is possible they couldn't finish Illari's lines in time, and they will be added soon. even still AAAH ILLARI LORE 🩷🩷🫶

Cheers for stopping by moonlight! :) Whether it's a tech from a research group, something older, or Moira or talon meddling, Illari is definitely on the case and hunting something down with Sombra! I generally enjoy her vibe, think she might be my go to support for this season in my rather casual games! Hope we discover more about her!

A theory/idea I've had for awhile about Illari joining Overwatch is the team learns about the Inti Warriors and go to Runasapi to recruit one, but because Runasapi is an isolated place in the mountains, the Overwatch team didn't know that the Inti Warriors were all gone except Illari. After an attack from either Talon or Null Sector, Illari hesitantly decides to join the Overwatch team even though she wants to protect her home. The people of Runasapi reassure her that they can protect themselves and that Illari has inspired them to find a way to create a new generation of Inti Warriors. Just a little idea I've had if there was ever a time for her to join the Overwatch team :3
