  • In the Haima Conspectus, violent offenses are considered especially heinous.
    In Raya Lucaria Academy, the dedicated adjudicators who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Battlemages. These are their stories.

    Haima sorcerers are the only thing that keeps the other nerds in check, if they didn’t exist then a Civil War would most likely occur in the Academy. Since not every sorcerers from different branches respects one another, specially when it comes to their research.🐱

      Sellen was expelled from the academy. Hierodas were the only conspectus that actually travelled the world, the Haima only left when war broke out since the whole point of their conspectus is the application of Sorcery in warfare, and simply sitting in the academy, in complete safety, sealed away from the rest of the world, without ever actually fighting against anything other than your marionette soldiers, is not a very good way of researching the application of Sorcery in warfare.

    I just beat the Haligtree last weekend. (Soloed Melania at lev 150. And I only have one functional hand. I use LS and all 5 fingers of my right hand on a modded controller that dupes Lclick/LB/LT to various places on the right. Kinda proud of beating her) Musta died 10 times to those 2 battlemages in that bridge area. It was insane. I swear they were harder than Melania herself. Now Im excited to learn about them.

    Really interesting, and it's a nice thought that Thops might have been from this conspectus at fisrt (but the chad created his own at the end).
    One funny thing to me as a French, the imprisoned battlemage Hugues... The English pronunciation might be right, there doesn't seem to be any reference to it anywhere, but in French, it would have simply been Ugh (very old name, you might hear the feminine version Huguette a bit more often). Truly sorry in advance, but now that I've heard your pronunciation, I can't help but imagine Hugues saying UwU ._.

    @Quader417 Рік тому +1

    I think its interesting that the haimas hold their club in their left hand and their staff in their right. In game whether you’re stronger physically or magically it just makes sense with the button layout to hold your weapon in your right and staff in the left. So that signals to me that the haima are either all left handed. Or the more likely that since they are sorcerers through and through so it’s basically principle to hold it in their dominant hand even if it means the “battle” part of battlemage is at a severe disadvantage holding it in ur off hand. A staff works just as well regardless of your hand strength but a weapon requires strength so they are showing excess strength by holding their big heavy clubs in their weaker hands

    This was a really good synopsis. Thank you for setting the record straight on how to pronounce Hugues! Oog-yoo I have to admit was very far from what I had assumed. I wish he had an expanded moveset a-la Alecto to make him feel more like a true miniboss.
    The evergaols were a neat concept, but stocking them with mostly mundane monsters (and Godefroy) was one of the few L's I think Fromsoft racked up with this game.

    Allso the ,bluntstone, is a little bit of a hint given that it may also represent heavy club vielded by haima sorccerers, and his new sorccery (wich i am too think is on the same level as comet asure) may be extention of haimas principle: by dispeling magic of sorccerer you basicly force them to talk it out, instead of fighting

    Correct me if I'm mistaken but the Heirodas conspectus was also another branch of scholar that frequently ventured outside the academy right?

    • @square-table-gaming
      @square-table-gaming  Рік тому +3

      Sort of. They were nomadic scholars but they did not go back and forth. The crown of Heirodas was granted to scholars who engaged in studies away from the academy, so the implication is that they never returned. Different from the Haima Conspectus who was known to travel back and forth from the academy and could come and go after the shattering.

    @Braindouchedotnet Рік тому +2

    I don't know about Thops being a member of Haima, he's clearly a self-hating bullied little boy and Haima mages are brutes. Thops Barrier says that this spell would have been enough to found a new conspectus, and we know it's a defensive spell against magical attacks, so I think he was working on something to defend specifically against Haima spells. What's more, Thops Barrier will win against Haima spells because once you start chaincasting the barrier, you can keep casting it indefinitely and outlast whatever fp your opponent has.
