I found the missing inhabitants of the Nameless Eternal City (DLC Lore)

  • THE MOST IMPORTANT, SUPER CRITICAL point I neglected to mention was Rogiers quote referring to the black knife assasins as SCIONS OF THE ETERNAL CITY, thus establishing the numen as the precursors to nox in the eternal cities.
    In the DLC trailer we see Marika involved in some profane ritual. In this video I argue that ritual was sacrificing the people of the Nameless Eternal City to create a crucible environment (Much like Rykards area as per his sword description) for the Elden Beast to land in and grow eventually into the Erdtree (See location and description of Elden Stars, and Siluria's Tree).
    The remains of this ritual washed down the stream- And I found them.
    My next video will speculate on Miquella and Mesmer's connection, and Marika's overall plan of escaping the Greater Wills control.

    Sorry for the soft audio, this is my first vocal heavy video, so I am new to this rodeo. I have created a louder version of the video, ALL I ASK is that if you like the content, please like THIS ORIGINAL video for the algorithm to support the channel, and comment here so we can discuss the lore, as the other is private so the ratings and comments will be turned off😊
    PLEASE DO NOT like the below video, please like the original as the one below is private (I would appreciate it a lot) ❤ (Click Read More for video)

    Notes:
    THE MOST IMPORTANT, SUPER CRITICAL point i neglected to mention was rogiers quote referring to the black knife assasins as SCIONS OF THE ETERNAL CITY, thus establishing the numen as the precursors to nox in the eternal cities (when combining this info with numen rune description, and black knife assasin outfit description, as per video)
    Twinbird Kiteshield = also blue and red. A point i neglected to make.
    Also, I noticed rewatching my video for edits that in the trailer there are ABNORMALLY large corpses poking out from the two giant structures of corpses marika is standing between 👀
    Also, there is one of those missing nox statues... in the church of vowes........ (from ahumanjusticars video)
    PS. If you hear birds you aren't losing it, I am surrounded completely and totally by rainbow lorikeets 😂 They will not be silenced.

      Interviewer: I know there are some who prefer the ‘hub’ system from Demon’s Souls but for me, one of the most memorable aspects of your recent work was the extraordinary world-building of Dark Souls - how the game’s locations all linked up like some grand, intricate work of origami. How have you approached Bloodborne’s map design?

      The world itself is a painted world in several respects - like Dark Souls - but essentially each area is still seamlessly connected. At the same time, to access each point, there are central hubs that act as warp points, and to reach new points, you still have the hub which also acts as a refuge as well. I wanted to combine the best of these elements so that you’d be able to easily go to areas you’ve already discovered.

    The Crystalian's faint cognition is know as the "wisdom of stone." This staff can only be wielded by those of intellect high enough to grasp such wisdom."

    Alright, you blew me away at the end. I didn't connect as many dots as you did with the ancient races...but I've always had this feeling Miquella is simply being guided by Marika to follow in her footsteps only to be betrayed in the end.
    All the children she had were just calculated plans and attempts to not only control the board but to pave the way until eventually the perfect child was born.
    One that npcs in game and players irl had trouble distinguishing between. Miquella.
    We know Marika has a bloody history and is not shy to use her children for war or banish them entirely. Why would we believe any of her whispers when her history is stained with betrayal.
    She is Queen Eternal and plans to keep it that way. Perhaps taking over Miquella or sharing a body with him is her way of escaping her current prison and separating herself from Radagon.
    It makes me wonder if the journey in the lands of shadow is a pilgrimage to becoming one with another. Is this how Marika fused with Radagon in the first place?
    I made a Reddit post a few days ago about this but it didn't gain traction. I've always been sceptical of Marika's actions and Miquella being so mysterious compared to the attention the other children received felt off to me. Miquella the kindly may be the first truly good Fromsoft character, but that makes his character naive to the fact that his own mother has ill intentions regarding his fate. A sad story in itself.
    All this really shot off when the preview came out and it was mentioned that Marika sanctioned Miquella to the Land of Shadow...a place where she became a god, and a place where she has her deepest secrets hidden.
    I also made a joke post that Marika is an ant queen and Elden Ring is just a dark take on 'Honey I shrunk the Kids'....that was better received than my other theory. 🤣🤣🤣

    Love this theory, but the only disagree with is the reason for the lake of rot existing. I don’t remember what it was (i think the map), but an item description says that the blind swordsman who taught Malenia sealed away the Outer God of Rot there, and I’m pretty sure that the lake of rot is that God’s “essence” leaking over, hence the Pests, followers of the Rot.

    • @ScumMageInfa
      @ScumMageInfa  Місяць тому +1

      yes, I know what you mean - The thing is, the blue swordsman may have sealed the god of rott, but where did the god of rott COME from? And WHEN did he seal it? :P
      I would argue the giant lake of rott underground was created as runoff from this ritual, and the outer god of rott was 'summoned' to the lands between from it, as a sort of rott crucible lol
      The Blue swordsman sealed this god later, however Malenia was born with the rott as punishment for Marika's involvement with the creation of the rott in the lands bewtween (Just like Morgott and Mogh were born as they are, as a result of her meddling with the erdtree's crucible)

    I agree with most of your theories, aside from the "create messmer" bit, as i believe he may be related colser to the gloam eyed queen due in part to his relation to the godskins via snake-like and elongated features.
    However, I look forward to the evidence for your theory.

    This is mostly just my speculation but the coffins that transport you have time magic attached to them. The one going up the waterfall is rewinding but ages to how it fell off the waterfall. This is a thing that’s happened before in fromsoft games. For instance in Bloodbourne after getting an invitation to Cain hurst castle you can find a secret horse and carriage waiting to take you to the castle. Once you are there though you turn around and the horses are dead. But not only are they dead but they have been long dead for ages.

    Haven't finished the video--you are the second person, after myself, to believe the Gloam Eyed Queen could have been Marika's sister. That's how I know you're a real one. :)
    I would never have thought about ghostflame being, originally, or at least in a previous time, purple. This is because you are also the first, after countless other lore works I've seen, to point out the description of the Grave Violet. That was all it took to convince me of the idea that Death's color could have split into red and blue. The only thing I could see being evidence of the contrary, is that if death has already split, why would the Grave Violet itself not have changed color? But otherwise, this idea alone, has monumental implications.
    Amazing video!

    • @ScumMageInfa
      @ScumMageInfa  Місяць тому

      I would say the grave violet didnt change because it isnt the flame itself, which is why it is such a compelling piece of evidence. It is something that has remained the same, with a description that gives insight, while the object it refers to (The ghost flame) is now made of composite parts, that are supported by the description of the grave flower (Blue, red = Purple)
      Makes me wonder what else is similar (Like the ancient dragons smithing stones losing their colour too, presumably after plassy was sealed)

    My interpretation of the nameless city is that it was the old part of Lyndell between the main gates and the lower part where the dragon is. And after Godwyns death that part of the capital sank deep underground as punishment for that's where the assassins lived.
    The rest of the capital was built around that older part of the city after Godfrey's reign.

    • @ScumMageInfa
      @ScumMageInfa  Місяць тому

      HMMMMmmmm interesting theory, I always thought the old sector was more akin to sellia so maybe it was the INITIAL city there after the eternal cities sunk, and then leyndell was built over it after the age of the crucible to kinda pave over it in way for the age of the erdtree and golden order.
      Placing events and times of events is so hard lmao

  • @Sensei-Hanzo

    Thanks for sharing your theories! A lot of food for thought in here. I just wanted to point out that in the Japanese version of the Sellia's Secret note, the word for "source" is the same word for the primeval current. That word can in some contexts refer to the "source" of a river or tradition, but given that Lusat's staff and body are hidden in that area it seems likely to me that it's just supposed to reference the primeval current. Apologies if someone's already pointed this out; there were too many comments to read all of them and see if it had already been brought up.

      @ScumMageInfa I hope you continue to make lore videos. I'm curious: when do you think Horah Loux shows up in all of this? I sort of picture him to come in sort of after the "Eternal Empire" is shattered, similar to how we do so.
      Second random thought: I can't get over the feeling that Renalla is of Numen lineage, and possibly of pure numen origin (thus why the Carians are noble). I'm wondering if the term "Empyrean" dates all the way back to this numen empire (maybe back to the ancient dynasty) - IE, a princess with Numen royal blood who would be a candidate to propagate life from a tree.
      Final random thought: I wonder if there was a fourth eternal city, located where the consecrated snowfield is. We have ordina, we have the petrified trees (I could imagine the area looking similar to Siofra), and we have an astel.

      @@ericjensen7580 Hey! I most certainly will be!
      First - I would wager you are correct
      Second - I would wager Renalla is a descendent of the Moonfolk - Who are descendance of the Numen (IMO) as shown by the Carian ruins being near the moonfolk ruins, in the area above the albenuric village :D
      There are also Moonfolk weapons such as the amazing swip (Urumi) which is found in the Carian Manor, and it was wielded by nightfolk.
      I'll be delving into these ancestries in later videos, for sure - So interesting.
      I do wonder if Ordina was created at a later date- as it is VERY similar, almost identical, to Sellia :P I think it was made by Marika for Miquella to help hide the Haligtree- Just more evidence of her meddling (For example the Assassin guarding Ordina, and the assassins garbs being found there hidden under a bridge)

    This was really interesting and great to follow.
    With all the new lore in the DLC about Marika's connection to the shamans and their unique properties for melding flesh, I feel like your observations about the piles of bodies being numens make even more sense now. The DLC also seems to imply that Marika was traumatized in some way by the persecution of the shaman people for ritualistic purposes. So I wonder if whatever happened to the Numens (ending up in piles of dead bodies, possibly as a result of going against the Greater Will) might have been a repeat of what happened to the shamans and what might have ultimately broken Marika and turned her against the Greater Will.

    Regarding the comments where people are saying they are having a difficult time hearing you. I have UA-cam at 100%, PC volume at 80%, and TV at 50. Typically I can hear most videos with these values when my tv is at 25-30. I also watched the video on my phone and could hear it fine with my volume set to 80%.
    When I brought my mids (which is typically in the vocal range) up I was better able to hear you. I think most people use a typical V shaped levels with higher bass and treble higher and mids being lower.

      This version seems to be the same, perhaps slightly louder. Overall the video is quite a bite quieter than other videos I'm watching on UA-cam where it's primarily someone talking.
      I watched the video on my TV's UA-cam app and the sound is perfect.
      Checking settings on my own computer. I have my equalizer levels flat to avoid any issues with that. When I raise the mids on my equalizer the sound is fine.
      I googled the issue and it seemed like the most useful advice related to the db's that you record and edit at with dialog being at a higher level than the music and sound effects. Apparently UA-cam does some kind of audio metering if one type of audio falls outside the rest.
      I'm not sure why it would be so different on different on a computer vs TV app and mobile device, but it probably has something to do with how the audio is delivered to those other devices.
      I'd say it just has to do with my own computer, but the fact that others are seeing it, that I don't have the issue with other videos, and you're trying to republish the video with louder audio makes me think that it's something that UA-cam is doing.
      Thank you for all of your hard work. 😄
