Dark timeline kugelblitz theory
After reading the new dark timeline lorebook something about the ending looked familiar. [spoiler]At the final battle the darkness and the light combined in large quantities. The last time this happened was during the collapse when the Yang Liewei got sucked into a kugelblitz and Mara Sov formed the Distributary. I believe Elisabeth, overcome with grief and wishing she did things differently, unwittingly made her wish come true after getting sucked into a new kugelblitz. Just like Mara Sov she created a new universe where time moves much faster and bends to the will of the first who entered. It is in this universe that all of destiny so far has taken place, all the while Eris and her army of dark guardians are right outside slowed down to nothing. If this is the case than our guardians will inevitably put a stop to it. Once Elisabeth has perfected the new timeline the city will stand strong and be able to send reinforcements to the outside universe. Eris will think she's won and then litterally out of nowhere an endless stream of uncorrupted guardians will spring into attack. This is potentially the plot of lightfall.[/spoiler]

There are some key differences that make it unlikely. The Distributary exists within a pocket dimension. While most are made by a single powerful paracausal entity. This was made in a clash of power from the two gods and formed spontaneously, Mara was the first one in and by the rules it made it hers. Which gave her the power to form it as she willed. Per the throneworld rules. Elsie Bray didn’t go into any pocket dimension. She was outside of the convergence area. She was no different then all the others around her fighting there, they all could of wished for something and would of all gotten it. So the events play out very differently. She has also now been through many many timelines, so if it had been a wish to redo it, it would literally be a dimension within a dimension within a dimension etc, until we reach whatever iteration this is. Whatever happens in our pocket won’t affect the larger universe. So it would be pointless. That’s probably the main reason it wouldn’t work. Pocket dimensions don’t override the physical dimension. It’s really hard to say. It is possible the wave of power affected her somehow to force her to timeline skip. It could be a Vex trick. Perhaps the Traveler is using the last of its power to send her back, a person it knows means well and isn’t tied to it. Which would preserve the weird non interference thing it does most of the time. I haven’t been able to form a good idea yet. Either one of the gods are doing it, the Vex could be pulling a trick or....maybe [i]we[/i] are a simulated timeline and she is going through them to find a way to turn things around in the real universe. I think that was hinted at in 1, can’t quite recall.

<Bold of you to assume the City would survive a Bombardment made by the Deep itself.>
