"Boot Theory"

[ifoz]

Here's a weird one I've come up with, but I think it's honestly really interesting and makes sense.



Boot Theory.

Basically the theory of mine that survivor, malefactor and rotwalker boots are a visual timeline of both the groups and the old world itself.
Survivors (1st) were those who fled to the underground, then Malefactors (2nd) emerged a little later as a scavenger/community service group, then Rotwalkers (3rd) came last when the world had turned to sludge.


This also matches with the Survivor (1st) and Malefactor (2nd) gloves being the same under the patches and wrappings.
