Knowing Xau-Tak has already visited and conquered multiple worlds, does that make the Ambassador some sort of scout, seeking out new planets? Could there be more than one patrolling the oceans?

It is only concept art at this point, but if this reaper-like sea creature, with a mouth to outer space, is simply a minion, it only adds to how monstrous Xau-Tak in comparison could be.

Saying that, we don't see many bosses require quests to access these days. Araxxor and The Heart haven't even got journals yet. This is the chance to add more 'Tales' though, which can be more enticing than reading a few paragraphs if done right.

It's nice to have the Unknown mysterious powerful god feel going again, since Zaros has had a lot of his story fleshed out, Xau tak has sort of replaced him in that sense. True enough, but I like the fact that the god I follow advocates sense. :) Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

From the little notes on the concept art, he's actually a squid monk. I guess that makes him sort of like the Pontifex of Xau-Takian religion. I worship Mah, for she is mah homegirl! The correct adjective for Mah's followers are: Mahomies, Mah-homeboys, or Mah-homegirls.

The Ambassador was concepted as a potential boss alongside an eastern Island guardian and another sea monster, so that gives us an idea as to where it will be found.

Also, its name is eerily similar to the Harbinger... is the Harbinger a harbinger for the arrival of the Ambassador? You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

Anyways my theory is that the Harbinger is one of the ships belonging to Rabid Jack, and he uses this ship to trade slaves to turn into zombie minions. If this is true I find it unlikely we would get to meet
STOP SAYING HIS NAME, YOU FOOLS!
(because the requirements would be WAYYYY too high for a pirate continuation) but we are likely to get more lore on the Pirate series as a whole and Xau-Tak himself. I think the Wushanko Isles and the Pirate series will definitely be intertwined somehow, I just don't know how. Perhaps the Pirate finale could take place IN the Arc? A

Balance
in themselves.
Only then can they

In the Arc? But then Xau-tak can't personally show up (Kami Shima Edicts Barrier). And if further serialization is an issue, just play the 5th age clause, or approach Xau from one of the other ways he's flexing his influence on Gielinor.
