Yellow ancient hints

I notice there has been some talk about hints in the game referring to the 5th and "yellow" ancient. Well I thought I'd add a hint I think refers to him or it or whatever the heck it is.

In the Old Tower where the evil Bishop is, there is always a shrine with candles that has a creepy wind sound when viewed and says it is honouring an unholy god. There are two eye-like symbols associated with a sun. I believe this could be referring to this ancient.

There are a lot of symbols in the game involing eyes and a sun. I believe that the yellow ancient is associated with the sun or something like that.

I always thought it was a shrine dedicated to whatever ancient Pious chose. Because after all the church is a cover for Pious' cult, so it makes sense that they should worship that ancient.

You have to remember that the 5th ancient has been secretly involved from behind the lines the whole time. Dyack has said that it had its share in the manipulation of the story as well. Hopefully a second instalment will reveal most things. I believe the Shrine with the eyes and the sun is the 5th ancient. There are areas and rooms throughout the game that are yellowish and contain these symbols with yellow magick on the floors.

Remember, the 5th ancient did have something to do with Charlamagnes death. The scroll was meant for him and had yellow magick. The Bishop also looked like Anthony when he was deforming. The Bishop most likely could have been working for this unknown ancient.

And then there's that yellow "switch" in Pious's chapter.

I believe that room that you only get to go into ONCE in the whole game belongs to the Yellow Ancient.

I believe the Yellow Ancient is the one that started every thing and was one of the main manipulators throughout the game.

i thought the eyes and the sun represented mantorok regaining power and taking over as mantorok is covered in eyes.
