I hope the devs consider getting more community contributors for not only content but lore too. I feel like you can give fresh ideas and insights to already existing lore to expand on them officially. Keep this up man!
I think I mentioned in a previous comment that Yun'Shul states that the goal of the drowned gods is to reach the moonseye, but ultimately hearing this information blows your head up from insanity so therefore nobody actually knows this. Fortinbras also states in his journal 'We drown to readily. Pry a soul free from its vessel and it drops like a stone', with the vessel being the physical human body and the soul being the thing that resides in all humans (presumably the soul is made out of The Song) But Fortinbras says 'drops like a stone', probably talking about how without any physical vessel (The Human Body) our souls sink to the depths. I think this proves the theory that the drowned gods are scared to wake up and only rise the tides themselves as a last resort when a form of civilisation overuses/ misuses the song, to prevent themselves from waking up. The game itself is combat orientated, you literally get ganked every other day. The nature of the world is that humans are really good at killing eachother and monsters lie around every corner. Each soul that drowns rises the tides bit by bit, just like how you mentioned a bunch of people jumping in a swimming pool will eventually cause it to overflow. I'm also pretty sure Arch Mage stated that 'there are no safe uses of The Song' and each use of it pulls in The Voidfog and Tides ever so closer to The Moonseye. However, I'm not sure why the gods don't just instantly rise the tides immediately to drown everybody in an instant. Maybe it will cause themselves to wake up? Or maybe there are other forces coming into play which makes them have to follow rules. Like why give humans the chance to escape the depths with a trial? Why does a god have to grant humans resonances to give a second chance of life? i know this is yap but deepwoken lore is very interesting
What humans would stand on the side of the depths? The Ministry. What humans would want to be unknown and be able to control the unknown? Voidwalkers. Btw if you ever find lore on the tides or the fall of celtor you'll realize voidwalkers are pretty much the protagonists of deepwoken despite them being killers they save nations. Also the knives of eylis and voidwalkers are entirely seperate things. Voidwalkers are a species/race/people who obtained the power of the void, while the knives of eylis are just a faction consisting of voidwalkers.
thank you for hinting that the one would put vows supporting the depths actively wanted it to happen, i think that person is the founder and leader of the ministry.
The song is like... a Sirens call... Maybe the surface isn't being flooded, maybe its like more like the flood being pulled in. thats why its called the Drowning and not the Flooding.
@ermesmetal There is more about the song, actually, the dawnwalker oath is described as a use a use of the verse of the Song, called The Radiant Tones, which produces light, however, this is a different light than those of lightkeepers, who can pierce voidfog and voidsea alike. This implies(although maybe you did imply this by reading the lore book), that different verses of the song produce different effects, but that some are extensive(attunements), and some are short, but produce unique affects(oaths).
There's something odd If amorous pletsky is said to be the progenitor of flame charm, then would that mean that the divers existed way before the cantycylsm?
My interpretation is that the main 4 attainments had always existed, humans simply discovered them. However, humans use sort of ‘fake’ developed versions of the attunements. For example, I’m pretty sure flamecharm doesn’t actually control fire, rather the ability to create combustion. This is the version of flamecharm pleeksty created and taught to his people. But upon consuming a piece of a drowned god, your capacity and knowledge of the song increases, now being able to wield the ‘true’ version of that attunement. So ‘true’ flamecharm isn’t just being able to make combustions but being able to speak to and control the flames themselves.
"What human would stand on the side of the depths?" man, the prophets and the ministry. maybe they existed since the old world? Also, love your vids! keep going
Dont worry on making daily videos , I’d much rather higher quality 20 minute video than rushed 4 minute ones, I dont know how you have done so many 10+ high quality videos, it baffles me but keep up the good work
This made me think, who was/is in charge of Celtor? I mean who even are the voices and how are they able to do what they do? Did the person in charge of Celtor do something to drown the city for malicious reasons? I mean we really don’t know much about who these voices are and I’d love if they could get more attention in the lore
So the tides rose when the main use of the song, Flamecharm was overused for rebellion, working and such. Sounds like global warming. The Drowned Gods awoke due to the song (in this case, the heat of the overuse of flamecharm melted the icecaps, setting the gods and creatures free). From my perspective, the creatures thawed out but took so long to thaw that they became gelatinous and comatose. They thawed due to humanity’s slow progression of technology. Humanity found the creatures and learned the song from them, like some old eldritch magic that kept their forms alive. With the overuse of Flamecharm, the ice the gods and creatures were frozen in were thawed out at alarming rates, allowing the creatures to keep their forms and terrorize villages. With the thawing of the gods, the didn’t really cause the flooding, but humanity did as the mass amounts of ice was melted and caused the world to drown. Now a few theories. The most technologically advanced factions utilize fire or combustion of sorts Summer Company: Gunpowder (take note on SUMMER in summer company, heat!) Ignition Union: (Again, “ignition”) They use electricity and flames, both steampunk type stuff, which produces a lot of heat. Now for The Ministry, they are ice and shadows, shadows cool things, ice is cold, they even live on the ice islands. They “worship” the drowned gods and want to drown the world fully. My theory for them is that they want to- or the drowned gods want to go back to sleep, so the gods probably brainwashed the Ministry or the Ministry themself just want to bring the gods to sleep, which is why they wear blindfolds, to prevent their insanity to work towards getting the gods to sleep. I think their ultimate plan is separated into 2 steps. 1. Drown the world 2. Freeze the world (Why do you think they have one of their strongest people in charge of Etris? Galebreath, cooling winds, Children of Navae are living on Etris soil, and they are one of the only Frostdraw users. Navae probably doesn’t want to freeze the world. I think the world has frozen over before, which is how the creatures and drowned gods were already frozen in the first place, and Deepwoken is the second freezing. Possibly Deepwoken is an alternate universe for us where global warming drowns the world and unleashes eldritch beings. Arch_Mage and the Deepwoken development team want people smart enough to understand this and to prevent it from happening in our real world.
I know i shouldn't use their name for fear of... nevermond that, perhaps the infamous and rumored Ministry sided with the Dephs, perhaps a prophet. Maybe the deals engaged with to ognore the rising horfors were that of totems and shrines, more potent in evil amd blood for it was a waring period that strengthened them and a waring period they would grow. -Loo
banger video as always btw. i'm a lore fiend as well, your videos are basically a gold mine as i dont see many people doing deep lore anymore. keep doing what you're doing man
CAN WE PLS GET A LORE VIDEO ON ROSEN OR YSLEY CUS IDK WHO YSLEY IS OR WHY HE HAS A PYREKEEPER BUT I KINDA WANNA KNOW. Also Rosen seems oddly important but we don’t get much more then “he makes the shooty things”
this migraine is actually killing me -- apologies for any errors or weird voice inflections lol
Take a break 💔💔 you've been working very hard
Shaddap your doing amazing take time off for yourself

yo he's getting better at rhyming, keep this shit up!!
will do!

Brilliant idea
the first prophet, i think you might be right, hes a deepwoken so hes still alive
The song is like... a Sirens call...

Also, love your vids! keep going
0:50 Missed opportunity to say:
"We swimmed too far to the beach and drowned"
12:16 ganymedes are in lore a "Deepfolk"
so I'm guessing people who became ganymedes sided with the depths as knowledge-seekers
Dont worry on making daily videos , I’d much rather higher quality 20 minute video than rushed 4 minute ones, I dont know how you have done so many 10+ high quality videos, it baffles me but keep up the good work
This is actually fire lore thank you
its incredible that this guy post daily vid bro
i’ve been busting my ass for yall
@@ermesmetal keep up with the good content man, imma be here all day watching
this new lore got me full king

PEAK,THIS IS CINEMAAAAAAAAAAA OML IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
GOTAED DEEPTUBER
1:27 yk what else is massive?
12:12 The ministry...
Always these guys...
This made me think, who was/is in charge of Celtor? I mean who even are the voices and how are they able to do what they do?

You should make a video on the complete deepwoken timeline since the lore is really confusing, good vid btw
that's in the works, but it will take a very, very long time

Anyone in the Deepwoken lore hunters community should straight read my ganymede theory
what if the first prophet is from the canticlysm days? Iirc he is like hundreds of years old, about the same age as Pleetksy.
Fire videos. I’ve gone back and watched most if not all of the lore. Btw, what is the music in the credits?
animal crossing new horizons opening OST i believe
Subbing for the Vaati vidya style Deep lore
Is that don toliver encouragement in the backround at the beginning
why yes it is
Daddy posted!!
THE VIDEOS KEEP COMING
I NEVER STOP
Outstanding throw vid is really cool but how did a hereditary vow make the animal races?
it’s complicated there’s not much explanation
@ oh that’s fine take your well deserved rest king, get ready for your update today
goated video
why thank you
Why is there only 500 views let’s get this to 100million 🎉
Your my inspo I just made a video on lionfishes
I know i shouldn't use their name for fear of... nevermond that, perhaps the infamous and rumored Ministry sided with the Dephs, perhaps a prophet.

-Loo
make a drowned gods video.. i TOLD U TO MAKE IT BEFORE U GET TO 1K
Seems like an early form of the ministry to me or maybe the ministry was inspired by it
ay bro, rest up. your health comes first, videos second
banger video as always btw.
i'm a lore fiend as well, your videos are basically a gold mine as i dont see many people doing deep lore anymore. keep doing what you're doing man
will do man. forever
Bro MIGHT be the matpat of deepwoken
Single godslayer build coulda probably solod the entire great drowning
yeah LOL
deepwoken loar coming back
wake up everyone ermesmetal uploaded
Its likely the first prophet
I keep hoping for more lore, yet the devs answer us with Legendary, Legendary, Galebreathe Mantra... What did they mean...
one day … more lore …
Wasn’t poletski the One who started flame charm I might be wrong though.
Damn thats cool
holy, there was a proletariat world revolution in deepwoken
yep!
@ermesmetal this means deepwoken is secretly socialist considering the amount of Ignition Union content
i wonder if that violin player and pleeksty have anything to do with each other
that's what i was thinking -- pleeksty is credited with creating flamecharm, but the book doesn't mention it. very interesting
CANTICLYSM MENTIONED! 😱 🙀 😱 🙀 😱
SCREW CONQUEST
I NEED LORE
is it contractors? that stand with the depths?
that's my main theory honestly
Hawk's tuah
