Editing Cauldron (section)

==Trivia==
*In a note of ever present irony, Cauldron took [[Eden|Eden's]] position in the grand scheme of things,<ref name="I29 e1">Above all else, it is an incomplete future because this entity has only the most minimal role in things, and the shards it saw were all the Warrior’s.<br><br>The fact that it did not is a part of that future.  This entity will arrive at the destination, and it will deploy shards to complicate a situation and break stalemates.  Losing sides will be granted reinforcements through maturing shards.
