Crest Stones

[HappyHawlucha.]

So, by this point we should all know that, and I'm putting it in spoiler tags JUST in case::

Spoiler

The Crest Stones are the hearts of the Nabateans.

With the introduction of the Heroes Relics for Balthus(Chevalier), and Yuri(Aubin *from the datamine*), we now have every crest stone represented in a Hero's Relic apart from the 5 Divines who still live - Seiros; Cethleann; Cichol; Macuil & Indech, Ernest, who is likely dead but their stone hasn't appeared anywhere, and the stones of Noa and Timotheos, who were used instead to make a sort of super relic in the form of the Dark Creator Sword.

Buttt, one thing we don't really know about, or at least that I don't know about, is why there is more than one Crest Stone of Maurice(The Beast). Despite Aymr being used by Edelgard, who has the Crests of Seiros & Flames, Aymr contains the Crest Stone of Maurice. It works perfectly fine for Edelgard as she bears the Crest of Flames and can therefore tap into the power of all Hero's Relics due to her link to the Goddess, but where did the second crest stone come from all of a sudden, as the Blutgang also has this stone? Unless Maurice somehow had 2 hearts, wouldn't it have made more sense for Aymr to have the Crest of Ernest in it to round out the Hero's Relics out and call it a day? Although I'm probably thinking way too much into things.

It's established that those who slither in the dark can make artificial Crest Stones, which are mainly used to mass produce Demonic Beasts. With Aymr being created by them for Edelgard's use, the likely explanation is that Aymr's Crest Stone is also artificial. Why it has the Crest of the Beast on it isn't explained anywhere, and there's no evidence that there's any specific reason to be found in-game. The revived 10 Elites use replicas of their Heroes' Relics, so maybe Aymr's Crest Stone was originally intended for a replica of Blutgang.

add to the fact that there is a Dark Blutgang in the games files, you know where the stone came from
