5. Wasteland/Tsadi

Wasteland was supposed to be a modern, abandoned cityscape, as shown in the Tom Zhao concepts as shown below. As per the TGC social media release, "these animal-themed, cursed characters became like bosses for each level... the animal-themed bosses gradually became more humanoid. In one iteration they were each missing parts of their bodies (arm, heart, head, etc). They slowly turned into what we know today as the Elders." Hence, the old, animal-themed elder of the Golden Wasteland used to feature modern objects, such as the TV and bicycle shown on the spider-like elder's back.

A concept for the Golden Wasteland, previously known as "the Shores of Manna."

Perhaps the more definitive proof comes from this concept, depicting a warrior with a great whale behind them; the name in brackets read "Tsadi":

Tsadi (pronounced 'tsah-dee') is the eighteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Dual in nature, it is said to represent both righteousness and hunting (the word is derived from either a fishhook or a bird trap).

This is perhaps reflected in his role of protecting the city (and when we meet him, the entrance to the vault), against the dark creatures. It is also the root word for "fortress" (metzad); ruined fortress walls are also present throughout the Wasteland level.

6. Vault/Lamed

The art below portrays all the old elder designs in order. Notice how in the spot before the Eden Elder, the vault elder wears the same, birdlike mask:

Furthermore, in the next section, it is proven that the letter "Lamed (ל)" in Hebrew alphabet pertains to the concept of "study and learning." Which aligns with the theme of the Vault of Knowledge, and the presence of spirit scholars. This will be expressed in detail in the latter sections, but its just good to know the context of their name before the below image, where they are seen teaching you about your fate.

From a TGC social media release, they confirmed that this hunched-over, crowlike elder was their old design for the Vault Elder. Perhaps they were designed this way due to the connections between crows and intelligence.

Lamed (pronounced lah-med) is the twelfth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It refers to לִימוּדִים (limudim) studies, or learning. The main source to this analysis recognises this as "...the thing that most elevates people.

Thanks to learning, a person's spiritual level rises and soars." The letter is derived from a goad (Malmad habakar), a tool (shaped like the letter Lamed) used in Biblical times used to direct animals; teaching them the correct way to go. A weird thing is, Lamed represents royalty. Perhaps this reflects Lamed taking a leadership role (as 'the plan' to lock Alef in the storm), or a previous relationship to the king, as per their old design here, wearing a similar three-point crown.

7. Eden/The Prince/The King/Alef/Resh

This here is the figure that was labelled "Alef" in the first image of the document. Notice the three-pronged crown and the halo glow around this figure. You may recognise it from the "favourited friends" constellation. This is the constellation of the Eden Elder: the king of the Sky Kingdom.

A tall crown was also present in a concept of the corrupted version of the King, illustrated to the right of the reference image. More depictions of the Eden Elder and his three-point crown are below. The rightmost image depicts a corrupted Alef, hence the crown has several growths of darkness on it, obscuring its shape.

The name "Alef" also appears in the concepts following the Vault of Knowledge art( depicting "the plan (Lamed)." The order suggests that this structure was designed for Eden/ Orbit. The image depicts the Ark, which was turned into the floating castle you see before orbit today. The presence of two names here (both Alef and Resh) will be explained

Alef (pronounced ah-lef) is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The letter symbolises oneness and unity. The word "aluf," comes from the letter Alef, and means a (military) "general," or a "champion," and has connotations of greatness. The Eden elder's victories were said to be celebrated in the Valley of Triumph, and may be related to this symbolism.

Additional: Eden Elder's other name, Resh.

Resh (pronounced ray-sh) is the twentieth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It represents wickedness, thus contrasting to the other name of the king, Alef. Since the king functioned as the sort of 'antagonist' for the latter parts of the storyline, and concepts show that the king grows corrupted by dark stone usage, it can be inferred that 'Alef' refers to his uncorrupted state, and 'Resh' refers to his corrupted form
