Hm... a lot of this backstory smells like fanon to me. Can someone point me to a legitimate backstory website for thsi? If not, I'll delete it. --Pie Boy 23:14, May 25 2006

i think it's from the artbooks.. but not sure. does anyone know if there's any artbook translated? i have them, but they're all in japanese and i don't know how to read japanese. and before you ask, yes i like to see pretty drawings.. but regarding guita and alvis, guita was too old to be her mother. grandmother perhaps. she was the nurse though. dunno

I have a friend who speaks Japanese and was kind enough to translate the artbooks for me, and also got to take part in a web interview with a few of the creators at GONZO, and she told me what she was able to learn about the backstory. I used that info, plus the stuff we learned in the actual series, as my source for the backstory article. Just about anyone who speaks enough Japanese to navigate Japanese websites and read the artbooks can confirm almost everything in the backstory. The part about Guita being Alvis' mother (which she wasn't) was written in by someone else after I wrote the backstory, and I have just now changed it properly.

[edit] Delphine and Exile

"But Maestro Delphine, who found the idea of a war very amusing, decided to step in. Once the vanships were into the Grand Stream, she used Exile's weather controller to suddenly redirect the air flow and sweep the vanships up in the current. Hamilcar, George and Euris were killed, but Alex Row managed to escape."

When was it actually mentioned that Delphine has control of Exile? If she had control why did she need Alvis to release it? What I got from the series was th atClaus' and Lavie's fathers, Alex and Euris failed to cross the Grand Stream because their vanships failed to hold up to the strong winds. Delphine was watching them from her own ship, not controlling Exile. I'm not sure if this is corrent info or is it just pure speculation. If so, then it should be noted as a theory. --Rumpelstiltzkin 19:39, June 12 2006

  • Their vanships were shown to be knocked about by the "tail"-like appendages on Delphine's ship, though, so she did have some active role in their demise. 202.70.148.45 09:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
    • She might have an active role in their demise, but she didn't do it using Exile. She did it with the "Tail-like" appendages on her own ship. There's no proof that she has control of Exile. Glad that part of taken out of the main article though. Rumpelstiltzkin 23:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guita

They learned that Guita had a daughter, the new Key to Exile ...Huh? Guita was Alvis's nurse, not her mother. This really needs some rewriting. --Pie Boy 23:47, 21 June 2006

  • Beside all this, the article seems to be about the fictional world in general. There is no place for all these (perhaps imagined) backstory details. If anything the article ought to describe only the nature of the world itself, and brief descriptions of the peoples who live there. Stories about individual characters, or plot elements that do not relate directly to the world itself should perhaps be moved to the main Last Exile article, if they can be verified at all with any documented sources...

    • If the backstory doesn't belong here, where does it belong? The backstory details are things that happened in the history of this fictional world, not stuff that happened in the series or in the backstories of any one character. Sylocat 23:03, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
