Of all of the AOC Lore content that I've found, Narc starts the furthest back than anyone, he actually starts with the Essence itself and explaining a bit what's it's all about, then he brings in the 10 gods, and how they came to be gods all because of the Essence itself, no one else that I've found in my search for AOC Lore even goes back that far, generally all other Lore vids start out with …"there were 10 gods that existed..." and my first thought is always , well where did they get there power from? so I really appreciate Narc's story telling in that , it seems to start from the "Absolute" beginning, instead of just a general beginning -Good Work!
Yeah i really enjoyed making this series :D I techniqually have enough information to make another 4 episodes but the details are a bit sparse so.... I don't feel comfortable making up 60% of the information! in alpha 1 I'll be searching for more lore for sure :D
you think so? I find it very ominous :o it's scares me. By the film "the others" the alien one from ages ago scared me alot as a child so that's probably why
@@Narc For me it might be that I relate to much in real life and politics. Which have ruined it. Us vs them, we vs the others etc... When you go back in history it's often that the others were not much different from you that ruined the evil term for me. Also the others doesn't sound evil to me, more mysterious, which they aren't really according to the 7 other Gods. But such a minor thing that I can easily drop it.
Yeah I thought putting all the lore into 1 video would be just a good way to archive the love into chunks :) It's basically about 100 hours of work condensed into 1 video
Think that God War section is probably future expansion content or something. Dealing with betrayer gods and the first Verrans sounds a bit beyond launch-game's pay grade. At least directly fighting them, I mean. Also, I find it interesting that the decision to banish the betrayer gods and the ancients doesn't seem necessarily confirming that they were evil before being sent into the nether, and that the name 'The Others' was forced upon them. I sense that there's potentially a lot more moral ambiguity to this story than The Seven may want our characters to believe. Not all of the Others may be evil, or at least, didn't want to become what they are now.
well, interestingly :D You are able to actually worship The Others if you wish! It's all very interesting stuff. This is all part of the game's base lore so we won't be dealing with it directly no, it's just what happened in the past before WE came to verra :)
So glad I discovered your channel. Been gradually working my way through all of the news videos and then discovered these lore videos! Amazing content mate thank you so much for your time and effort
@@Narc I found your channel last night linked to a thread on the Ashes forums (I'm new to following Ashes). So my first impressions were your videos on the specific node types. I really like your intros, and your style, but for someone looking for solid info, the speculation was off putting. I know it's gotta be difficult producing content with little info to go on, but for me personally, the speculation clutters up the info. I have been spending a good chunk of today watching your videos, and I have found that I really am enjoying them. I just cringe at the speculation any time it comes up. I guess for me personally, I would prefer to hear it as "what I would like to see," rather than "what we might expect to see." And again, for me personally, I would prefer that kind of thing separated out from video sharing actual info from Steven et al. Just my 2 cents bud. You've got a good thing going here. Definitely keep it up.
@@elischrock5356 yeah no worries mate, fair feedback :) Once alpha 1 is here that speculation will be stopping x it just doesn't feel like the videos would be worth much if they were only 3 minutes long, you feel me? :) I appreciate the feedback man x
Honestly, the others sort of have a point. The seven were paranoid and over controlling. The ancients didn’t choose who they were. To be killed for who they are is screwed up. I like that the bad guys are sympathetic.
they may have started that way, but i suspect whatever this entity in the void was, has twisted them beyond comprehension, imma laugh my ass off if we happen to somehow "cleanse" them down the line in the story, my reason for thinking this?, you never introduce something that you never gonna use again, that would just be bad story telling, im not saying that we'll do it off the bat, but to use WoW as an example, the void entity is probably something we'll face after shadowlands expansion or some shit, like the lich is obviously an arthas tier villain, the ancients are the step up if they fit any group of bosses, the 3 gods are the step above and then the void entity(s) are either the jailor or whatever comes in 10.0
Imagine that a player can obtain all 4 relics and might be like a corrupt king and wage war on all the server And then the ancients will return and we will live in an apocaliptic world
Just to clarify when Atrax was ruling he communicated with the Ancients not the Others right. Just seems like he was making a deal with the devil, not random demons
The devil indeed. when this is all our officially you bet your ass I'll be re-making this with all the real information... I kinda had to fill the gaps here and there :) I'm excited for the lore though it seems pretty dope
OMG thank you for this... I knew the lore was on the wiki... I just didn't want to read it myself... so much better to listen to while getting annoying chores done.
well came here from your latest vid Narc! and gotta say I stayed hooked till the end. this is such pure love. Now I am even more invested in the game and cannot wait for it. Do we really not have any lore news since 2020? O.o
Oh don't you worry my friend, I'll be hunting for it. There is actually 4 more episodes of lore i could techniqually make... But the information on it is a little bit here and there to string together the actual events. I could make it up but... That would be in bad taste I think so I'll just wait a while and see if they drop more information on it x
This just goes to show why no mmo can make their player base happy. U got ppl who want an mmo that takes chances and moves the genre forward. And others who essentially want a better looking wow without Blizzard behind the helm.
wait.... the goddess of love, isnt that one of the guild wars 2 outfits you can get from their shop? cuz im like 99% positive i have that on my characters lol, because of that, I'm now assuming that for the most part, these gods representations are just character images pulled off the net as a sort of placeholder for now...
@@Narc yea i just found a finished your other race videos on the Tulnar, answering my question. I always play the animalistic race in MMOs, worgen, tauren, charr, argonian. So im just glad they are making one in this game for me to play and main ^.^
Interesting. The others weren't actually even "evil", they just were okay with sharing knowledge. There is an Easter egg here, if you know, you know. 🙃
These are corrections so that I may stay somewhat sane. God is male, Goddess is female. "Wrought" is the past tense of "work." "Phenomena" is plural, "phenomenon" is singular. 20:35 "Me" would be used here instead of "I" because it should be in the accusative. The parents were lying to her, not she. Just as they were lying to me, not I. 22:15 I believe in this instance it should be "lay" instead of "laid" because "laid" is the past tense of "lay" while "lay" is also the past tense of "lie." It should be the past tense of "lie" because she is in a horizontal position, but "lay" requires an object because it is the act of placing something down.
Also, are any of the images you have shown here official silhouettes of these characters like the gods/Atrax etc from Intrepid or is there no actual art for them?
all the coloured silhouettes, are the Gods from Guild Wars 2 that i used as placeholders. All the blacked out ones are custom drawn by me :) And Atrax/Ancients/Harbingers is also Custom drawn by me x
I have to nitpick the part of the others and the ancients intentions. We don't know exactly what happened in the void but I'll give you that your spin was entertaining.
for now - I have covered all there is to know about the lore for AoC - when more lore is announced and I have enough material to make another series :) you can count on me mate x
@@One-12937 nice nice :) Yeah the matrix song... it was probably a mistake to use it but... i dunno... i was very nieve when it came to making content back then x This song has caused alot of issues for my monetisation or whatever.

Every mmo story is same or similar... Not impressed at all, just remember what lord of the rings made and compare to all other mmo games, or at least 50precent of mmos....

Narc is a copa cola dealer.... I'm his biggest junkie
With so little concrete canon, you've done such a good job.
You have amazing skill at narration and story telling.
the more deep the lore is the more contents can be made i hope there is much much more
I will be looking around for lore stuff in the Alpha 1 my friend! Don't you worry about that!
Hey you looking 4 a guild?
I at least haven't found a guild. Are you guys thinking about what area you want to develop your guild nodes?
@@MisterNatry yes we have if you'd like to talk more or have any questions about our guild please contact me on discord Uncle Ida 4781
I enjoy contents
Dude, this is amazing... you're a really goo story-teller. :-) Also, volume sounds good in this video.
Yeah i really enjoyed making this series :D I techniqually have enough information to make another 4 episodes but
the details are a bit sparse so.... I don't feel comfortable making up 60% of the information!
in alpha 1 I'll be searching for more lore for sure :D
IM HIGH ON COPIUM!
This makes me want to play the game even more!!!
very well done, hope to see more stories from you about Ashes !
Great stuff man! thanks to your vids I am starting to take a much deeper look at AoC and have been wandering about the lore, this is perfecto.
I have been following ashes for years and have been waiting for someone to make good lore content. Thank you 🙏
Aaaw c'mon dood :D I don't deserve that kinda praise!
I enjoyed making these lore videos every much :) I can't wait for more lore to be released!
Hey killy any chance ur looking to join a guild. We're looking for people with a strong interest in the game like your self
Yeah Jc Dro possibly, waiting to see how this alpha one pans out before I get too excited :)
you need to be the official lore teller of ashes, your voice is so good!
Very nice video ! Watched it from start to finish! Good voice acting too. Good gameplay is always a must, but its the lore of a game that pull me in.
Good job, thank you for creating this! I had no idea that this was already revealed.
Absolutely love this, great job! I do however struggle with the name "The Others". Feels bit to neutral and not evil enough haha

Nice, your quickly going to become the Byf orNobel of AoC :)

Cheers brother
Incredible Work! All good things happen to every good person and you are of them 🙌👏🤩
Thank you
Narc, you're the man. Your lore videos slap.
Imagine that a player can obtain all 4 relics and might be like a corrupt king and wage war on all the server
And then the ancients will return and we will live in an apocaliptic world
yes it could be very cool! :D I highly recommend you watch my "end game" video!
Very cool series man. Thanks for putting this together.
Narc, you are a true story teller. Great job!
Nice idea to compilâtes it all, good day to you. Its a nice series and I hope to watch your recap on the next things to come
Not complicated enough
Wow! I got credit. Nice that you put them all together and made a cohesive story. Keep up the good work.
I should have given you credit in the previous video too actually, It was totally my fault when I went back to do some QA!
Apologies :)
Just to clarify when Atrax was ruling he communicated with the Ancients not the Others right. Just seems like he was making a deal with the devil, not random demons

And you, my child *bow*
Damn man nice story telling!
The best race? Oh you mean the Tulnar :D
was wondering if there was an AoC lore vid, and of course there was one by Narc 😌
