didn't read whole thing, but

First, I haven't read your entire post, because it's so long.

Second, I'm sorry that you posted your big theory when you did. Your thread is going to get lost among dozens of threads about the gunner update (sadly, saying pretty much the same thing as each other, but keeping other topics out of discussion).

Third, these ideas have been discussed pretty heavily ever since Shadow Lairs were released. You might search Google for something like "echo stone site:forums.spiralknights.com" (without the quotation marks). You'll find many threads about the Core, Alpha Squad, Echo Stones, etc. Many of them touch on this idea of Cradle/Core as a cradle/nest/fortress for some kind of being, or the being itself.

If you want more feedback on your specific ideas, try highlighting them in bold, removing other unnecessary stuff, etc. Right now it's hard to tell what your main point is. Best wishes.

I'm vohtarak, call me by that name

what we know is that something lives in the core (trapped)
the "architect" helped it build cradle as a safe place for it to sleep (the architect betrayed the pact and released the swarm)
a lot of people think king tinkezar is the architect

why do you make a thread about this, there are actually a lot and we DO have information

there is no "shadow lair core", when you are done with a shadow lair it just drops you off at the regular core

and herex recently was added, so he either was possessed by or joined the swarm
p.s.
and there IS NO EVIDENCE OF THE CORE BEING CORRUPTED BY THE SWARM
if it was it wouldnt give off a WHITE glow and definitely wouldnt using its energy to power the clockworks
and for those who argue "plot twist" for this: plot twists still need to be LOGICALLY POSSIBLE

So, there are 2 cores. But in my opinion, the Shadow Core is not really a 'core', but morr along the lines of the consciousness of The Swarm.

I've always been under the

I've always been under the assumption that the corruption of the Shadow Lairs by the swarm occurs in he future/alternate future/telepathic dream of the future. Basically during the Shadow Lairs, the swarm has escaped the core and infected everything, and when you get to the core there's nothing left of the swarm, just the benevolent existance (or what's left of it) of whatever creature is the counterpart to the swarm.
This is why everything is all good and dandy as soon as you leave the Shadow Lair, you return to the present/wake up.
