Please please please do more deep cut FromSoft lore. There's so much there in their back catalogue, and a lot of it has echoes that reverberate throughout their games, moonlight sword only being the most obvious.
lore video's for the cut content? Never thought of it but there is quite a bit. Especially with Dark souls 2 and 3. Hmmmm. I like this idea. Let me look into the cut content lore.
I agree. Even the most hardcore Fromsoft lore people have an annoying tendency to overlook basically anything pre-Demons' Souls, so it'd be really great to get more content about those older games
Oh man. I just finished NA King's Field 1 and, dang it, I'm really intrigued by the story now. I'm glad that you've clarified some of the points in the lore.
The fact that Guyra is referred to as the dragon of light in the original Japanese at 8:37 is interesting. I'm not super familiar with the lore of Kings Field and trying to learn more about it, and I think that there's a natural inclination to assume that the White Dragon would be the Light one. On another note, videos like this are really cool to me just in general. I've been studying Japanese for about a year now, so I'm not good enough to be able to independently translate things on my own yet, and it's fun to see people who are lol.
It would be interesting to compare certain parallels to Elden Ring & Kingsfield regarding the seed of evil & the dragon bloodline that Jean Alfred Forrester(the player) comes from and their relationship to the creator.
Agreed. It would be very interesting to compare Elden Ring to Kingsfield. Although my knowledge of Elden Ring is still very limited so that'll be in the future.
Love a in-depth king field lore video. For a campaign, wanted to make Guyra the big bad and would love to have someone do a over all character breakdown on the black dragon of the Forest, especially what his dracolich ass was doing in kings Field additional 1&2 as no one done a translated breakdown on the story of those two.
The Master has returned! Rejoice! Ok, but seriously, we missed you, man. Hasnt been the same without you. I only have one question, if you wish to contemplate it in a future video; under what circumstances do you imagine Gwyndolin and the Firstborn's imposed the Darksign? Do you have any ideas about what the Firstborn's reign was like? Etc. Again, thanks for coming back!
Thanks my friend! I was gone for much longer than I had planned. For the darksign, I imagine that the Firstborn and Gwyndolin imposed the Darksign purely out of father to son duty. I highly doubt the Firstborn or Gwyndolin gave it much thought. In regards to the Firstborn's reign, I theories it was all about strength, might and brute power reigning supreme. I also assume the Firstborn's reign was much worse than Gwyn's reign, which I think was quite peaceful and fair for most(not all).
@@ChannelYoshimitsu Thanks for your input! Perhaps I didn't phrase it quite well; I meant to ask whether they thought of it themselves, and under what circumstances. As in, did Gwyn tell them the idea of the Darksign from the beginning? Or was it their creative interpretation of how to " shepherd the humans"? I do imagine the Firstborn's reign was..not as satisfactory as his father's; his entire usurpation reeks of an excuse to just get rid of him. I also remember one translation describing him as " paling" in every aspect compared to his father instead of " having respect only for arms" as the English put it. If we were to place the timeline accordingly, the Firstborn ruled for at least 700 to 800 years( the period between the happenings of the DLC and Gwyn's passing). We know he likely ruled a little more than that because Undead Burg, which contains a shrine to him, and Sen's Fortress, which contains the lightning wielding serpent men we later know as his servants in DS3, don't exist during the DLC, and were only built afterwards. In fact, both seem to have been created to directly replace that which was destroyed by the catastrophe caused by the Abyss; the Undead Burg replaces New Londo as a home of Undead, and Sen's Fortress was built to test those who wish to enter Anor Londo, much like the Battles Of Stoicism in Oolacile's former colosseum. Considering that the Fortress is a much more convoluted and difficult path up to Anor Londo, I daresay the Firstborn had very high standards. Standards which were likely part of why he got overthrown. Another part I suspect is this; Demons. The Batwing Demons serving as guards in Anor Londo wield weapons imbued with lightning; once again, both they and the manserpents consistently show their alignment. The reason I think they specifically served the Firstborn is this; Gwyn only managed to defeat and enforce peace with the Demons right before he decided to link the Flame. He would not have benefited from a new retinue of guards; he was going to die. Recruiting Demons into his personal forces would've likely upset his own loyal knights, too. But his son? His son was all too eager from new friends and extra soldiers. Mounted upon the walls, too, are the heads of hundreds of wyverns. The result? Look down in the Valley Of Drakes. What are the wyverns breathing now? Lightning. What are they guarding? The gates of New Londo. The Firstborn's modus operandi was clear and simple; beat enemies, make friends out of enemies, and if not friends, trophies. And examples. No wonder Lloyd had to step in. I suspect that the occurrence of the Abyss' awakening in the Firstborn's reign was no coincidence; the Four Kings likely had his ear as they had his father's, and one can only guess what advice they had for him. Seath, too; you see him, hoarding the Broken Pendant in a golem of his. He's not safe from this accusation of conspiracy. And more that I suspect; Velka, a witch and Daughter Of Chaos, was likely only brought into the fold after the Demons made peace with the gods, and thus served as the Firstborn's inquisitor and Goddess Of Sin; even now, Gwyndolin uses her Book Of The Guilty instead of following Lloyd's modus operandi of simply hunting down whichever Undead he could find. Sorry if I tired you with this. But I've been thinking about it for...alot. I still have a bit more theories, like Priscilla being an interest of the Firstborn's , but this should be enough.
Ohhh, I see what you meant. I personally doubt Gwyn told his Firstborn and Gwyndolin specifically on how to bind the humans and the dark. Right now, I'm thinking that the Darksign was something the Firstborn and Gwyndolin thought up. I have no direct proof so far but Gwyndolin was likely influenced by Seath. I do assume Flame god Flann may have been involved in some form as well. Granted, this is based on my belief that Gwyn was a good ruler and that he was welcoming of all races. And it was the other gods around Gwyn that hated and looked down upon the other races. I love this way you described the Firstborn, "The Firstborn's modus operandi was clear and simple; beat enemies, make friends out of enemies, and if not friends, trophies. And examples." It's pretty much what I think of him too. It never occurred that Undead Burg was a likely replacement to New Londo but that makes perfect sense. Especially since as you said, Sen's Fortress was a likely replacement for the colosseum of Oolacile. Andre did say the gods built Sen's Fortress so would make sense that the Undead Burg was built to replace New Londo.
@@ChannelYoshimitsu Thanks! Yeah. Alot of people assume Andre just doesn't know what he's talking about, but I do think he's being truthful. He's one of the most consistently lucid and sane characters in the entire franchise; he probably remembers ### we don't even know about. Also, another question( sorry); why do you think the Firstborn looks Hollow when we meet him? He clearly still has some part of his mind; what happened to him? The Undead Burg was one I thought up rather simply; it's nonexistence during the DLC and it's name( a Burg for Undead) , and it just...clicked for me. It was clearly not a very good replacement, too; New Londo was this Romanesque, beautific city. If you've seen the data mining, you'll see it's much bigger than what we got to visit. In comparison, you have this...layered town? Thing? On the other hand, it IS closer to Anor Londo; likely for easier supervision. And quelling riots. And yeah. Sen's Fortress has the Firstborn all over it. Mimic chest holding a lightning imbued spear; serpent men for local staff; a golem powered by a literal dragon bone( supplied by yours truly). Traps and horrors galore; enough to drive entire armies insane trying to breach it. It speaks of a mind keen on war in a way no other god can ever be. Seriously; it's almost sadistic. And I only say " almost " because I'm afraid the Firstborn might've actually fully believed these measures were necessary. After all, he made the Warriors Of Sunlight his covenant, no? He clearly had to know what he was doing. Speaking of knowing what he was doing... Did the Firstborn know about Seath's experiments? Because for some reason, they're working for Seath when we get there. And for some reason, the serpents in Archdragon Peak cast what seem to be Dark Sorceries, showing humanities surrounded with an odd golden hue.... The Darksign is a bit tricky to me; there's reason to believe that Gwyn might've actually thought it would be beneficial, in some manner. And not out of naivety. On the other hand, the Firstborn doing it out of said altruism is questionable. What am I talking about? This selection of dialogue: " Once, the Lord Of Light banished Dark, and all that stemmed from humanity. And Men assumed a fleeting form. Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite, a lie will remain a lie! " " Men trust fully in the illusion of life...but is that so wrong? A construction, a facade and yet, a world full of warmth and resplendence. Young Hollow, are you intent on shattering the yoke, spoiling this wonderful falsehood?" Note: I think you may be able to verify this, so correct me if I'm wrong, but Aldia's dialogue actually says " the one who would become the Lord Of Light" ,doesn't it? Sounds like someone we both know... " With Dark unshackled, a curse will be upon us, and men will take their true shape. " " Men will be free from death, left to wander eternally. " Both the last two from Vendrick. It should be noted that Aldia is actively confusing us, or rather, that he playing devil's advocate for both sides; by the end of the game, it's apparent he wants us to consider things " beyond" Light and Dark, so that may be part of it, but what he says is still important in one aspect: The binding of humans to a " fleeting form" and the " banishment " of their Dark was somehow pivotal to constructing current human existence as we know it; a " world full of warmth and resplendence" , where humans could " yearn for love, unaware of it's grand illusion ". Aldia is clearly being cynical, but the point he is making is huge; life as we know it was at least partially impossible for the original men. They couldn't experience warmth naturally, or enjoy the resplendence of nature. It is perhaps the reason beings like Kaathe and Frampt, ancient in their own right, can only think of finding ways to consume what they can, eager for a taste. It is the only way they can experience what we experience; the only warmth they can sense is that in their bellies. Vendrick makes an even bigger point; without the shackles of Fire, death itself becomes impossible for humans. Thanks to their nature, humans are not bound by entropy as we understand it. No matter how many times he and his shards are destroyed, Manus always returns in some form, his desires and thoughts incarnated in one being or othe other. His stay in the Grave was just that; sleep. He was " awoken"; stirred from sleep. He was never dead to begin with; just tired of living. It's likely his situation that made the Darksign even a suggestion. The fact that, despite all their efforts, the gods could not guarantee him full rest. The Darksign's use as an item, and effects, reflect this. It's main function is to kill you when used; it drains your souls because it is trying to impose death upon you every single time. The Dark is what's keeping you up. The Dark is growing stronger as the Flame and your Darksign grow weaker. Your Darksign is fighting tooth and nail to give you a proper death, and it's losing! Man. That feels strange to say. So, the question is: Did Gwyn truly see the value of the Darksign as a tool to give humans a short but happy existence as mortals? Or would he think such measures an insult to former allies? I don't think the Firstborn cared either way; after all, I have reason to suspect he dabbled a little into the dark himself... "Touching an ancient dragon scale gives one a glimpse into the abyss. Believers in the dragon will rise above this petty corporeal existence." Sorry again. Goodnight.
@@ChannelYoshimitsu The Dark Sign or Fire Seal is as old as the battle against the ancient dragons. This is visually confirmed by the Ringed City Knights who have the same fire seal on their chests, plus the armor and weapon descriptions confirm this. You don't have to have a flesh body vessel to be piloted/powered by a shard of humanity, a suit of armour is good enough, same goes for weapons. The Dragonhead Shields the Ringed Knights carry confirm that they were at least around the tail end of Gwyn's conquest, but humanity's contributions were never lauded, effectively denying them a place in recorded history.
Rare to see King's Field lore. BTW is the black dragon's name really pronounced 'Gear-rah' rather than 'Guy-ra' as this sounds like a similar translation situation where the Painted World of Ariamis is the Painted World of Jeremiah in some DS1 item descriptions.
@@alyseleem2692 Google's Japanese translation of Priscilla's Dagger and the Painted Guardian set. Those are the only two cases I have seen it. Also Velka is known as Belka, which ties into the theme of bells and chimes across all the games.
@@slightlytwistedagain If this is true, then alot more things start to make sense. Xanthous King Jeremiah is to the Painted World what we became to the one created in DS3. He is the one who " procured the pigment" instead of a Painter himself, I think. The architecture of the Painted World in general reminds me of New Londo, especially with the statues. As such, it was most likely created during a period where said architecture was known and appreciated; in fact, it may indicate it's namesake's connection to it; after all, Vamos declares the Large Flame Ember to be " an ember from New Londo.". It wouldn't be a surprise if New Londo had a population of pyromancers as well as sorcerers. This, combined with Jeremiah's apparel, ties back into Oolacile, if we are to retroactively apply the knowledge that Xanthous Scholars were those obsessed with Oolacile and it's magics. My brain is frying; help!

I was thinking today about you maybe posting again and dum dum - here we are. Looking forward to the vendrick and nashandra video!
Researching Vendrick and Nashandra lore hollows me out......

Please do more Kings field and hopefully Shadow Tower series lore videos. People barely talk about them.
I have a few more King's field lore vids in the works. :)
