SOI was loaded with art hints like that. A couple weeks ago there was an article on the mothership about it.
oh, is there a link for that? ^-^
Thought this week's story was rather meh too. Pretty sure Arlinn will be forgotten about once this block is over.
I don't mind flavouring her character, but in this phase, when everyone is anticipating new developments it's a rather dreadful filler.
The art of broken cryptolit I think was the more interesting piece of information this week. Hints at Nahiri's defeat.
There is a werewolf with extrafingers and glowing chest in soi also in the lore they where dicecting one that didnt go back to human form it had lattice structures and a internal eyeball
So, the story article is up on the mothership...
And, well, to sum it up, it is INDEED a story about a young girl feeling betrayed by her "sensei"...
Too bad for Nahiri, if she had stayed a bit longer , she would have witnessed the Jacetus League in action, and that would have changed everything in her mind^^
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but The Gatewatch only beat Ulamog and Kozilik a few months prior to Sorin unmaking Avacyn. Nahiri sees Ulamog a year ago, when only Gideon is fighting.

Correct. Nahiri worked on reshaping Innistrad from the time she swore vengeance upon Sorin while witnessing Ulamog to the present, which is actually less time than I thought because I thought she'd escaped the Helvault two years ago. When Nahiri left Zendikar the second time, she never looked back because she assumed it would be gone anything could be done to save it. All her time has been spent on Innistrad since that day, and since around that same time, Sorin was searching for Ugin because Innistrad had been rebalanced for the moment with Avacyn freed.
Clearly there's a huge door open for the Gatewatch to be like "hey wait a minute, Nahirs, Zendikar safe!" And for people to say their sorries and resolve things with a pretty bow on top. (Hopefully not though. Not for the sake of someone dying, but for the sake of not having another convenient ending).
I find it hard to believe that she's harbingering Emrakul into the plane. When there likely will be at least three blocks in between the continuation of Innistrad's story. Unless, Chandra's mission in Kaladesh is something to help with that. There's always the option of the Gatewatch stopping Nahiri from doing so, but what would stop Em from doing so.
Sure Sorin is an @$$, but at least he's trying to keep them alive and in a safe enough environement... well... I think he's at least trying harder than Nahiri.

Don't be daft. Innistrad won't be destroyed, not while Jace is still on it.

Nahiri is likely trying to imprison Emrakul in the moon, and Innistrad is the only place she knows of where that could happen - the current story foreshadows that pretty significantly.
The Helvault being capable of holding an Old Walker, one whose main skill is manipulating stone and metal, makes me question just what is up with Innistrad's moon?

How so, Jay? I know Nahiri notices that the moon is made of silver and the line seemed to suggest some more than it was saying. But what makes you say that she intends to trap Emrakul in it?

I know. The Emrakul Eldritch Moon main plot line has pretty well sketched out since the first flashback to Nahiri fighting Sorin and Avacyn. Still doesn't mean that with in the scope Innistrad that Nahiri has not done more damage to the plane than Sorin.

And in the grand scheme of things of letting the Eldrazi continue to run free or imprisoning them? This is likely the ONLY option.
Yes, she's damaging Innistrad as a vendetta, but I think it's more complicated than that. This isn't about just Innistrad, after all.
A full quarter or so of the story dedicated to how Nahiri passes the time in exile recreating Zendikar from memory, and no one else thought "Wait a minute! Is that what she's doing @ the drownyard? Exacting revenge Serra's Realm style? With her lil pocket plane from memory being the mysterious second moon/void that jace sees?!"

I am SwampThing. Hi everyone
Edit; starting off "behind the scenes" sapping the mana she needs to make up for loss of oldwaker power, and as soon as sorin takes the bait starts deconstructing to reconstruct, hence earthquakes?
Too bad for Nahiri, if she had stayed a bit longer , she would have witnessed the Jacetus League in action, and that would have changed everything in her mind^^
No it wouldn't have. Nahiri isn't analyzing the story from the outside, she lived on Zendikar. Everything on an entire continent is dead for starters and most of her species is dead.
If you thought someone was going to kill your entire family and your third cousin randomly survived would you think "Oh, that's not as bad as I thought. Okay then it's all good now." or might you be upset about everyone else who died?
Also, this; http://magic.wizards.com/en/content/eldritch-moon
"The last protections over Innistrad have faded. Ancient powers reach forth to corrupt the plane, and now Innistrad's fate rests in the hands of unlikely allies..."
In the pop up on a 404 page i saw a few min ago, said something along the lines of "revealing an/the Ancient Horror."
Personally, I think Nahiri inadvertently woke OR provided the cultists the means of waking the Stormkirk's big bad sea god. Along with that may come an army of merfolk/Deep Ones, with the possibly "halfbreed" humans growing fishy things/undergoing the Innsmouth Change.
Much of Lovecraft horror comes originally from outside, and lies dormant below &/or within the character(s).

"Nahiri, Zendikar is safe!"
"You brought back the millions who died and found a way to rebuild entire continents? And you found proof that Sorin wasn't the one who sealed me away for millennia preventing me from saving my world?"
"Uh....no..."
"Still pretty angry at Sorin."
"But Nahiri people on the internet say you're being unreasonable."
"Well in that case I guess I'm totally okay with being sealed in an hellish void for a thousand years while everything I ever cared about was destroyed. J/K still killing everyone."

While she may want to trap Emrakul for the good of the Multiverse, this story (and the associated flavour texts) make it absolutely clear she's also looking for blood out of revenge.

Definitely the coolest theory I've heard so far. Attracting Emrakul (or whatever) might be an accident. That would force Sorin and Nahiri to work together.
I think that whatever is up with the Helvault has more to do with Sorin's manipulation of it than the material it is made of. The material may have made it possible, but I don't think a silver moon as is is capable of being a prison. That being said, it seems like Nahiri, being a lithomancer/planeswalker, might be capable of changing it along those lines. She's not a neowalker anymore so it will likely be more difficult, but seems possible.

Tentacles, latticework, pink colors, etc. Its basically a big flashing neon sign saying "hey guys, Emrakul is coming! EMRAKUL! Yaaaay!!!!"

Tough it could have been solved if both had a more civilized talk instead of fighting. Well oldwalkers are crazy tough.
