Innocence and Sin. Hidden clues and symbolism for Fall of Oriath trailer

People or powerful groups DO like to put their symbolism in many places. Same in life. ;)

In my opnion, they changed the eye colors as we can see in the pictures on the windows. So it is different from the 5-pictures story they released some time ago. So actually, the golden boy has red eyes (he is Innocence). And the redhead boy has blue eyes (he is Sin). The beginning, both are good person, despite of the appearances and everything happens around them. I doesn’t have an explanation to why the flowers are dying, the bird died, or the Innocence is more loved than his brother, but I guess it has something about Kitava, god of corruption. My theory is that Kitava started corruption of Sin since his birth. Following the pictures, the bad things happened with Sin was due to Kitava corruption, and it made him even more vulnerable to Kitava corruption. In picture 4, it seems like Kitava gave power to Sin (the halo became bigger too, it symbolizes his power growing) and got total control of Sin’s action. We can see the hands of a demon, who I guess it is Kitava. The fish is there due to a text in lore, saying “Tukohama, Tawhoa and Kitava went to the lake to fish. Tawhoa weaved a net to catch the fish, Tukohama built a fire to cook the fish, and Kitava swallowed the entire lake, fish and all, with a single gulp.” (see Kitava’s Thrist). That is why Sin became bad. So Corrupted Sin defeat his brother and got the high position, maybe the throne, or something like that. So at that time, Kitava and Corrupted Sin ruled the world.

In picture 5, the time has past and Innocence became stronger for his own. He asked for help from his mother in picture 6 and told her everything about Sin corruption and Kitava. She helped him, and they made a trap or got a plan to defeat Kitava/Sin (Picture 7). Burning him seems like a ritual, maybe something to uncorrupt Sin. The demon in picture 8 aren’t acutally Sin, but the real Kitava, who was using Sin’s body. Innocence sealed Kitava (picture 9 and 10) and found the Templar Order to protect the world against him. I really think that Innocence defeated Kitava, because of that Statue of him killing a demon. This demon’s face looks like Kitava with his two “normal” horns and other two horns behind his chin (See Kitava’s Thrist 2D art). We can also see Kitava in pantheon picture. So Innocence became the guardian, who guards the world from Kitava’s resurrection.

Sin became good again, but not sure if he was sealed in the ritual also or whatever. But after you defeat Innocence, Sin reborn (or whatever) and appeared to you, asking for your help to save the world from Kitava once more.

For the time being, Innocence, for being near Kitava (even sealed) for a long long time, Kitava could slowing corrupt him. So Innocence became bad, like Sin once was. That is why, in the beginning of Present of Path of Exile story, we can see the atrocities that Templar Order made.

In picture 12, I guess, it is the future (or present, according to your perspective). It looks like Kitava’s seal is released after you defeat Innocence. So Kitava is free once again and get back to his original body, left in act IV. Actually, the beast in act IV is Kitava body, and Corrupted Malachai is only his Champion (see Marauder’s Dialogue in act IV). Then Kitava starts to corrupt the Karui’s Gods, who you gonna have to defeat and save them through act 6 – 8. When they got uncorrupted, you got their blessing (so here comes the pantheon system). In act 9, Kitava is not there anymore, but there is still a key for his dominion there. There are also many Kitava allied who will try to stop you, but once you get the key, you come back to Oriath, where you can open the gate to Kitava domain and kill him for good.

About the white woman, mother of both Innocence and Sin, I’m not sure. But I hope she actually is Kalandra. Kalandra is actually a big mistery, as his/her name is in the rarest and most valuable currency in path of exile, but there is nothing about him/her… I’m really looking forward to it. Also no idea about the different descrys. For me all of them mean the same: The Templar Order. Of course I can be wrong here too.
