What is the Cycle? - Enderal Mystery #5
The Cycle, the frame of the puzzle that is Enderal, and our fifth mystery. One with more questions and speculations than I'd like, and a few mind-bending surprises. What I planned for this was an investigation in the repeating aspects, and the influence of the High Ones, the Starlings were meant as a rapid note, but the more I proceeded... well Enderal did again its trick on me. And by the name of the Sun I did not expect that final discovery, even after looking at it for so long so many times, especially during the last investigation, I could only see what it was after comparing the rest here. And now we have five, at the right stage of our development.

My sincere thanks to everyone who reached to me with suggestions and encouragement, if this was easy we would have known the answers years ago. And I'm honoured to hear these mysteries have managed to let you see something more, something new. As they are letting me. This video, not just the mentioned theory, was particularly inspired by a long email conversation with HevadeWe, which is funny because when he told me that theory I was like "naahhh, of course not, everything just repeats!", then proof hit me in the face. I'm very skeptical, and hard-headed, and require solid clues, but your points of view help me challenge mine, and broaden the picture. And you'll hear more about them and the Cycle in the next mysteries.

    can you make better items than these with the use of crafting perks?

    • @P.o.L
      @P.o.L 13 днів тому

      You can maximize handcrafting and enchanting and make equipment that grants you high mana regeneration for an unstoppable mage or very strong damage for a warrior, and of course best protecting armor. But then you'd miss the different interesting bonuses of the pre-made armors. So I wouldn't say better, it's a balance, you lose something but you gain something else. I wouldn't try it in a first playthrough, but in a second one could be very interesting

    • @tomaszpawlik5091
      @tomaszpawlik5091 13 днів тому

      @P.o.L well, it looks like many of the unique bonuses boost enchant smithing and alchemy, so i will still be forced to use them if i want to maximize power. Im Assuming you cant Craft fortify alchemy/enchant/smithing enchants no? But if then, what will be expected magnitudes on the most Basic enchants like fortify attribute or Fortify skill, will they compete or will they be inferior? Im asking because i want to do an crafter lycan/phasma build and wonder if its worth it

    • @P.o.L
      @P.o.L 12 днів тому

      @tomaszpawlik5091 you can find some fortify potions around, and at merchants, but I think you cannot craft them. I never tried to make armors myself, but I think they will compete, based on some posts I read like this one below. But the info is a bit old and things might have changed, the only way is trying! If you do, I'm curious to know how it goes 😀 www.reddit.com/r/enderal/comments/b1iafw/enchanting_alchemy_handicraft/

    Aw yeah, another Enderal lore video. 😎 It's always a ride trying to figure out what was probably intentional with a deeper meaning behind it, and what was probably... not, but the ideas are fun to explore anyway. Like how characters in the Pyrean Era were saying "by the name of the Sun" as well. 🤔 And it struck me as interesting how it was a phrase that even someone as non-religious as Jespar was saying. I'm also still of the personal opinion that the Aged Man wasn't a Prophet, but at the same time I get how it's probably the "easiest" conclusion.

That's kind of the beauty of stories like these, though - provided you don't go _too_ off the rails with theories (as a veteran of the Silent Hill fandom, I am all too used to those), there's no real "right answer" to elements like that, and I kind of don't want there to be. Makes it feel like it's your own personal story. Your own... Eventuality, even. 😉 Also finally watched the rest of the video, and I really liked your observations on the Beacon. Just little details like how the one in Old Dothûlgrad differentiates from the one the Order puts together is a neat catch.

    Interesting that you have no mention of the the Father and his Rhalâta. They disappear without a trace and no one knows to where. They also take a large chunk of the temple with them and leave a huge hole behind. The star people leave without a trace and no one knows to where. A very large construct destroys Vyn, which must have been city-sized to have the mass to do so. If the starlings did anything similar to the Rhalata, teleported away taking a chunk of... whatever they were on at the moment with them and that chunk just happened to be the thing that keeps the the whole thing afloat... well, its speculation, but also something to think about. Otherwise, love the vid. Nice attention to so many details.

      Transcendence was my first thought about the disappearance of the Starlings. But after visiting again the Star City I changed mind and started seeing the trail I was following this time was about technology. I agree however that also the Father and his group survive the Cleansing by transcending!

      @scourge213 22 дні тому

      @@P.o.L True, but i don't think Transcendence and Technology are mutually exclusive. You analyzed it well yourself, starling technology is made from craftsmen AND mages. The Father might be a mage, but considers himself a man of science. His experiments are very similar to Apotheosis and much more technological than magical. His artificial bodies just don't need an external power source as they rely on 'biological processes' for energy - like food. Still True that we have no clue what Transcendece is, but it sure looks a lot like a mass teleportation with a specific power source. The starlings had their large power sources, and the temple might have had that exact power source that the Father needed. You did say there were no transport ships in the star city because everyone left. If they left for a single place where their version of Transcendence would happen, just some of them make it, and the rest crash into Vyn due to loss of power - even if its a long shot it all fits.

      ​@@scourge213 good points, and of course what's in this video is only my interpretation, and there are clues that I could have missed. The Star People could have found a technological way to transcend for example! By the way did you watch mystery #3, about the Black Libra? There I go more in depth about the Father, Rhalâta and transcendence.

    My take on the cycle, mostly based on what we see in Esme's quest, is that the veiled woman started it, unhappy with how the people of kadath where. She created the beacon, designed the cycle and tends to it, creating the emmissaries so it keeps repeating. The point is to destroy each humanity until, by random chance one appears that fullfill her top down perspective of what humanity should be. She is the villain pointlessly genociding civilisation after civilisarion because they don't fit the mold she has decided they should. All while beliving that what she is doing is good.

    • @P.o.L
      @P.o.L 23 дні тому

      My take is mostly the same, but I'm still not sure if she started it, or manipulated things so that it started, or humanity started it and she keeps it going. I think she "wants" humans to learn from this and grow from it...

      I'm afraid nobody knows where the Shadow God of Nehrim went to. He is mentioned here and there in Enderal, but we are not told anything about what he did after Nehrim. There is however a book in Enderal called "Conversation With a Blind Man" that seems to be written by the Shadow Born of Nehrim and to suggest he is still alive somewhere.

    Regarding 6:50 : I always thought the Aged Man just took the Word of the Dead until someone claimed it for its role in the Cycle for practical reasons. I mean: he as a former prophet still needs to escape the Cleansing every time and his manor disappears after you pick it up from his place. So I assume he just makes sure he is alerted in time to arrange is disappearance before the Cleansing happens. He picks it up once the gods disappear (Tealor knows where it is, so it must have changed hands recently or the Emperor is notified by a vision or some similar way of its location) and gives it up willingly, so I always thought, that he uses the acquisition of the WotD by the prophet as a signal, that the cycle is entering its last phase and he needs to disappear again. After all, by concept the WotD is an integral part of the cycle and removing it appears like an easy single point of failure that someone who wishes to stop the cycle could remove from the equation. At the end of my first playthrough I actually chose the brave new world ending thinking "next round I will just capture the WotD and hide/destroy it". I assume the Aged Man thought exactly the same thing at some point, it failed for some reason and he kept using it as a lever to ensure his survival.

    • @P.o.L
      @P.o.L 23 дні тому

      Thanks for the comment! The WotD is necessary to acquire the Numinos, I think destroying it would not stop the Cleansing but only reduce the already small chance that a Beacon would be lighted with a Numinos (there may be other ways to get a Numinos?). Tealor says the Order received a tip that the Aged Man has the Word of the Dead, I think a tip coming from the Aged Man himself 😜

    Ok, before I watch this: I believe The Cycle is a perpetual test of humanity's will to evolve from our base form. Only if humanity can survive events of The Cycle they can finally prosper and fulfill their potential as a species. This is based on the dialogue between Tara and the Veiled Woman in the echo near the end of Our Mark on the World. The Veiled Woman is tasked with or otherwise directly responsible for facilitating this test until it is complete, which makes her responsible for The High Ones aswell, but only as a means to a greater end. And now, I'll watch the video and we'll see if I actually got this one in the bag.

    I always enjoy these videos from you, and I love to see you follow up on some of the stuff we talked about! Something caught my attention in this video; I got the impression that I saw you hint at something (maybe a future mystery?) But I'm really curious now what you make of the repeated face-imagery (aged man, starling, Kor) the Kor storyline always was a bit curious, feels like there was an idea there that wasn't fully realised, but now I do wonder what concept really underpins it. Edit: btw, I think the golden-rules line may have been a wink at an other beloved skyrim-mod from that era (that has fully been turned into its own game): the forgotten city

And then that last thing, when I saw it I had to concede, by the Name of the Sun your theory was so right! I hope you enjoyed the surprise, I thought about telling you but didn't want to ruin the effect 😜 Oh I'm always hinting, at the next mysteries and some other things I'm thinking to share in between 😁 Not about Kor, I wish I knew how that quest was meant to end. But I found interesting that the strangest statues we find around are not Pyrean but from the time of the Fire People or even older. And that the faces represent the living gods for each civilization, the use of face-imagery in itself a pattern repeating through the Cycles. There is one thing I noticed on the Isle of Kor though, the banner used by the Children of Kor is the same found at Castle Goldenford, maybe the quests were meant to connect in some way.
