actually yeah hoarder talking about the void village kinda fits perfectly
Ye he's saying the void villagers (and like every1 else) are seen as lessers by the psionics, for obvious reasons
ehhhh
i think its more saying the void villagers look down on the hoarder. "They do not acknoweldge their loss" cause the voidvillagers enjoyer living in the void. "we are seem as lesser" people like the hoarder and scavenger who don't live in the void village
I agree its a little confusing dialogue
idk i don't think the trigger being a transformed psionic quill really has anything to do with it
especially since it isn't the psionic quill itself that triggers the dialogue, but rather the transformed voidblown quill
I dont understand it, wouldnt it be the scavengers that enjoy scroating
i just assume the hoarder and the scavenger are somehow related
no evidence
just an assumption
they're siblings
I do wonder what they are tho
Villagers.. ?
Ah true lol
heck they dont even know what they are
Maybe void natives
crack theory: whatever the fuck the skyraiders are
What if the scavengers are also from dern
What if they are not from dern but just the void, like the archipelago
archipelago is the border of dern
also everything in the void came from somewhere
true void is empty
Inhuman Attendee likely from Wynn due the fact the mob has "Inhuman" in its name and Wynn is base on Middle English
it's both
wat
The joke is that British people are not human
lmao
they really need to give us a retcon establishing what the hell they are
skyraider being a species would be so dumb
I still dont get why the heck they dont define what the skyraiders are in the full quest about them
skyraiders are all escaped changelings who decided to live out their yuri pirate fantasies together
new theory
Skyraiders have been around for a very long time
In 573 AP theyāre on their 356th Queen
the player is the 734th in 1000AP
Do Aledar got a portrait?
no
I dont think
from where do people know the location of bluesift archepelago?
Just look around bro š
i mean that means they through one queen every 13-14 months š
Assuming the queen turnover rate is static (admittedly a big assumption), the first sky raider queen was in 171
Its possible the turnover rate post-villager colonization is higher
I mean I doubt the skyraider existed pre shattering
same
although its more likely they started around 50-100 ap
it would be kinda weird to have skyraiders with no sky islands
Shattering is in 0 AP
then 171
Well, the Skyraiders as an institution likely not
do we know what year airships were invented?
The Skyraiders species perhaps
Women
š¤·
at least before 573ap
that's not really enough to say "it's right next to dern", that could just be from most of its matter being taken from the expanse and a similar thing warping it to look like that as what is doing that to the big void hole (bearing in mind the area around the proper dern portal doesnt look like that, so probably isnt just dern's influence directly)
atp just say "we dont know where it is"
Oh physically its not next to dern
Its next to dern cuz u can tp there with the portals
W greg
Is it just me or does the WynnExcavation seem completely pointless to the storyline
aight thanks
You donāt believe in Homo yuri?
is that the taxonomic name š
it is now
it served a purpose back before the silent expanse, when we knew next to nothing about the olm or cosmic magic
but now
especially with fruma giving us a bit more lore on both
it kinda doesnāt
wouldnāt Homo Yurizoku make more sense
full name
Oh thank you, I mean itās just, I feel like the storyline flows so well with things leading into each other and this quests feels like a family guy throwaway gag
also that
it isnāt really integrated with any of the region plots
Site B is sort of integrated with the twain plotline, since i think marius is implied or stated to have hidden that crystal?
wynnex is so old its pre gavel
and its barely been updated
If we want to do a Latin taxonomy itād probably be Homo lesbiana or Homo tribas
a lot fo the npcs are still using pigmen models
Does it still have the pigmen
I genuinely feel like just cutting it out and not even acknowledging it
Homo yuri is just funnier
I mean that was a but interesting, powerful characters had taken care of crystals before and now they are in our possession, like thatās pretty cool but we just burn them and nothing ever comes of em
site A has nothing to do with anything
site B namedrops the twains hiding that crystal, but has nothing to do with them and doesnāt elaborate at all
site C has nothing to do with anything
site D tries to do stuff with olm and explaining the war of realms, but itās so outdated and we already get sources that explain both things better prior that it just doesnāt work anymore
I don't think they need to cut it, the lore in it is the outline that became the modern lore but it really really needs a revamp
ššš
The sources that explain both are actually later, olm is explained in silent expanse and wynnex d is the level before RoL 4
Gavelexcavation never went anywhere did it
iām talking time valley and garoth
You say that like garroth has actual lore
for olm
I mean, he tries to
i more just mean the various olm and their stuff in time valley
Time valley is pre fall of the olm
yeah but it still tells us about them
The 2 interesting things I was able to piece from them was us being basically the guardians now of them and a deeper theme of government corruption/power deepening what we saw in Almuj but then like, the Olm stuff seems like a sidenote thrown in there š
And wynnex is still what tells us what happened to the olm
i guess
Time valley explains what the olm are, wynnex is what happened after the fall, and silent expanse is the fall
Genuinely I feel like Fate of the Fallen is 20x more important and itās not even a storyline quest
Officially, no, up to interpretation, hell yeah lmao
I mean officially rol, se and fruma
I find it weird how wynnex is referenced in a secret discovery
Like there's just a second set of crystals haphazardly buried somewhere
And they WILL make better main storyline later
Yeah a revamped wynnex would fit in well with the main storyline
Would be nice to do a quest with tasim in gavel
I think the main storyline should include like dungeon quests
Alongside what u alr mentioned
the entirely of olm lore from wynnex could be one jungle secret discovery
Right now we have RoL explaining the stakes, silent expanse being the second real effect on the scale, and fruma which massively expanded everything and pushes towards the endgame
Wynnex intro fits right in
idk i think the opposite. I think them trying to fit wynnex into the war of realms plot just doesnāt work, The shadow government just doesnāt really fit into it imo
What quests do yall feel like should be the dark green book āStorylineā instead of the normal one, I feel like Fate of The Fallen is an obvious answer but I feel like there is more I just canāt put my finger on it
especially when RoL 1-3 kinda give us enough already
I feel like wynnex should be primarily a way to explore the governmence of wynn with a background in introducing the war of the realms
I think wynnex should have the 4 elemental crystals actually affecting stuff outside the quest
And mainly expand the lore of the material world (like how it was created), as the best we have is from the old fruma plates
And maybe also explain how cosmic magic connects to it
the only real involvement wynnex has in war of realms is the bit in Site D where you get loredumped to. I think that gets cut you lose nothing
Def
war of realms doesnāt really need expanding on at this point
I think it would be good to pose amadel as this guy who wants to be a god while knowing nothing of the war of the realms - a person playing at divinity while knowing nothing about what hes getting into
RoL is great on its own
WynnExcavation doesnāt add anything meaningful
Like at all
I think
Site D eez nutz
wynnexcavation, ???, purple and blue, star thief then whatever sohso/selium quest comes in the wastelands.
The Cosmic Questline
consider
Honestly cosmic magic still feels kinda out of place
As i said, the dungeon quests, fate of fallen is 1 aint it
Yeah
Kinda funny the only important quests for Wynn are from gavel
I'd say ??? is important to the lore but.. š„
Being forced to play all 5 rol quests to enter fruma on each class was a torment I wish upon not even my greatest enemjes (except @whole river )
They are cool storywise
Would be really nice
We know the olm really liked their cosmology, but it doesn't really show up in any quests (except for gylia lake ones and ??? but even then we don't get much)
They connect pretty well
Ppls problem with quests is stuff is quest locked PER CLASS
True, I do enjoy the story
Even though it can be a bit tedious to go through them
I have my own issues with ROL tbh
Yeah going thru them is NOT it
but
Can someone catch me up on ???
I haven't done it
Atleast what lore purpose it serves
at least they connect to Aldorei, there is some continuation, not a random ācollect crystals that mean nothing actuallyā
The cosmic meteors
Make u crazy and such
i think it just needs to be expanded on with what it actually does. Like up until fruma the only cosmic magic āusersā were star thief and arguably amadel. and each meteor has its own weird and abstract effects (purple and blue being order and chaos??)
but then we get majin
and his cosmic magic is just⦠rainbows and throwing mini planets?
like his magic is closer just space themed elemental magic then the ācosmicā magic weāve seen thus far
Yeah the only unifying effect of cosmic magic we have seen is driving users to insanity
and even then majinās āinsanityā was different then the other meteor madness weāve seen
he just kinda had a powertrip
drugs and stuff
How come
His obsession was himself
I mean I see the insanity as pushing deeper into obsessions
Me wondering who amadel was before quickly realizing Wynnex exists and isnāt just a whacky side quest
It's just that Majin is extremely self obsessed
i guess
š
Totally forgot about that guy he gets clapped by pre-parasite player lmfao
idk i kinda see the meteor madness as like⦠mushrooms chickens and just general changes of character
majinās reads more like a drug obsession or something where heās getting high on power and keeps drawing on more and more until itās too much
Could garoth be seen as a cosmic energy user?
like this doesnāt really fit the āheehoo chickensā
garoth is time magic
Also it lowk feels like secret discoveries are more important than some side quests š„
I mean he is an olm
And guess what olms were
(astronomers)
yeah honestly feels like 80% of lore comes from secret discovery blurbs
Okay to sum it up, Iāve spent too much time here š, stop caring about WynnExcavation, dive deeper into dungeon quests and do ???
like. With Yahya and Nohno is made them obsessed with random objects, and made them stupid.
majin its magic cocaine
Does that about cover it or am I forgetting something up to that point š
Do secret discoveries 
wynnex is cool
secret discoveries my beloved
I want to see what they do when they dont have to make amadel a wither model
I just find it weird that the olm place a huge emphasis on the cosmos and the most we get of it is a few meteors that make people crazy
I hope they add SOMETHING more on it (like a SE or quest)
yall know that gif of tuco crushing up the infinity stones and snorting them
thatās but itās majin with meteors
Wynnex desperately needs a rework
So do quite a few other quests
I mean sohso is going to be part of wastelands questline
Tuco shows Thanos how to use the Infinity Stones.
Another breaking bad character cameo in the MCU I apologize for the lack of morbius

I hope that we get a space expansion š„
But most ppl think its unlikely
this but itās majin snorting the purple and blue meteors
supposedly
no dungeon
deraj would make a good dungeon but thats assuming the ct isnt abandoning the system till a rework happens
This is my fav dungeon š„
imagine the boss is one of frumaās old gods
I mean I imagine the boss of the deraj dungeon would be oru
Surely oru would be a quest boss
but it would be cool if old fruman gods were involved in the wastelands
i mean, the queen a bare minimum destroyed the god of the auburn forest
which was probably atlashas the fox?
she also says gods plural, so atleast one other one
I mean, all, no?
all would make sense
but im just trying to find a possiblity for one to still be alive
so we can kill it :)
also nifilis would make the most sense to still live. It was the wastelands one, which seems to be the least colonized region, and while Tolos was hunted all we know about Nifilis was that it "grew volitile"
trust wastelands update we're gonna get to kill the lava lizard
wait wait hold on i might be cooking something now
Changelings "they come from the earth, charged with its primordial life. But how? How do they come to be? What ignites that spark?" then selium mentions in the hallowground file "...perhaps I should ask the earth itself."
"We have come so close... so close, yet so far. I have heard its echoes, surfacing from the depths below. A broken, fractured thing...
The spark... I have lit it once more. That which animates the dark pools of essence into beings we control..."
I really hope we descend to the changeling goop
lol
Wastelands is just oil
what if
changelings, seliums disappearance, and nifilis are all connected
its a god of fire and earth
selium "asks the earth itself"
the changelings come from dark pools of essence, and the creation myth of fruma starts with inky darkness
Btw does any1 have a clear picture of Atlahas' ghost?
and from the wastelands, where nifilis lives/lived
I feel like the salamander is more attuned to magma and fire than inky black goop
niflis is fire AND earth
but also
theres a lot of imagry about "igniting the spark"
with the changeling creation
I think the "splash of black paint, depicting an inky darkness" is just void
Not whatever the goop is
Yeah
i mean maybe
The goop is something, the void is nothing
Does the fruma creation story apply to gavel as well?
Cause its the entire world right
no, the gods seem specific to fruma
Gavel is more like colossi and Garaheth if smth
Well wynn was part of old fruma
So it would prob unclude wynn as well
niflis could explain why there's just a random volcano in the middle of the plains
Eh
Wynn was referred as "far colonies" and not fruma
And the description of the gods dont really match wynn
Fair
"burning magma AND crashing earth" its earth and fire. Idk i get what you mean but it could be something
"nifilis grows volitile" you know what else is volitile? the changelings before they're trained
if wynn were properly part of old fruma they probably wouldn't have just cut it off when the corruption appeared
wat
They're not on fire.. ?
Ye idk what that word means
Clearly Nifilis is Garaheth
lol
Anyways I do think some people are ascribing a bit too much power to the Fruman gods. I donāt think theyāre realm beast tier
idk when we eventually hit wastelands thats my theory
Either
A: changelings are being made out of nifilis' corpse or
B: nifilis is the source of changelings/the creature who selium went to for further understanding when he disappeared
Whats the difference then?
yeah, the creation myth is probably not accurate to them
they probably aren't that strong
especially the owl lmfao
Where do the gods get mentioned?
Secret discovery/lore tablets/random shrines that u NEED a fucking mythic for
Lord have mercy
I think if they were realm beast tier they would be mentioned outside of Fruma and less easy to kill
thats the creation myth
theres a few other scattered mentions
but like
2/5 haven't been mentioned outside of that creation myth, and only one has made an appearence in something that didn't need translation/didn't have an old fruman equivalent
Sasha in Aldwell Library
I mean we kill a realm beast easily, and well who tf would mention them lol?
If you mean Orphion he was extremely weakend
hey wait a minute
I do not mean orphion
We only defeat 2 no?
Well ye?
So u can guess who the other is
Who didn't just get weakend but died
We needed 4 people to stand a chance
orphion wasn't fighting us
he was just thrashing like an animal in pain really
cause parasite
Yeah
And?
And she lost most of her power due to scions
@almo heres the tldr on the gods from how i understand it
Ty
Iām assuming these are like Garaheth tier deities at best
maybe colossus?
Who is Garaheth again?
idk depends on how accurate the creation myth is
Thats the same
the one demon for d&d 4
Dogun Guy
Oh
Tbh i dont see the difference other than just "power", yk like 8 is higher than 7
i mean garaheth seems to just be a demon (whatever that is) while the colossi seem to have some cosmic importance
The one thing that can be reasonably construed as a mention of the Fruma deities outside of Fruma is the Quetzalcoatl item lore
EternalOne rumbling about garaheth raid š„
pretty sure thats talking about farcor
"only one remains"
š¤Æ
and him being above the sky islands
Why would fruman gods, who were only in fruma, be mentioned outside anyway
unless farcor IS nasaheksh but like... we have so little info on BOTH and farcor is a dragon
Realm beasts only mentioned cuz they fucking move out of their realms
Yeah, I said reasonably construed not blatantly the same
That doesn't neccessarly mean power
Nah
fair, i just think farcor is the much more obvious mention
Isnāt that only one idol remaining
i mean maybe
actually probably
but still "great serpant of Ahms" "bringer of wisdom" thats almost certainly farcor. Especially since the fruma gods don't seem to necessarily be "good" (see Sasha eating a child)
Anyways, Wynn seems to have gods/god level beingsthat arenāt Realm Beast tier and I think thatās what the Fruman ones are
idk haven't most non-realm beasts gods been scrubbed from lore atp?
That book is funny lol
like the one elven god has had its mentions slowly removed
Fruma gods?
oh shmeg are you jsut getting here
I mustāve missed the frumic translations
I do not know!
Blud knew about ascendancy shrine but not the actual content
heres a tldr
tolos gets namedropped a lot in the other translations
nifilis gets namedropped in the architect shrine
sasha has the childrens story in aldwell library
the other two
U can meet Atlahas in lr š„
wait they actually added stuff to the aldwell library? What did they add?
Fruma SpoilersThe following page contains information about content to be released in 2.2 Fruma Expansion. If you wish to experience the update with minimal spoilers, then it is recommended you click away from this page.
Fruma spoilers start here.
This page contains spoilers. Readers are discouraged...
me and my shaman buddy were only able to read 2 books
Peak
huh
the rest of the books in that library are a lil buggy
oh i see
Tbh idk myself but i heard there's a ghost fox enemy in lr
Damn, folk lore to Frumaā¦
also these gods are more then likely real characters, since the fox enemy in the lootrun and the queen mentions destroying their gods
also "Tolos is hunted, Nifilis grows volatile" is a weird statment if the gods are made up
Now, the real question:
is any of this actually real, or is it all symbolic stories depicting creation
the gods are likely real, whether or not they are actually gods
Seems real
Iām super interested in this, now. I didnāt realize they had their own Demi god figures; I just thought they had vague cultural icons they used to symbolically represent magic
Do u know if the ascendancy shrine worked?
I do not
Iām significantly more interested in whether or not these Demi gods had access to a resonance weaver at all
That would explain their god like forms
Dont seem like
i mean, 4/5 have elemental affinities. But nifilis is explicitly both fire and earth, and tolos doesn't really seem to have one
more just nature
not like that
Nature = literally everything though
More inclined to believe rainbow, if it werenāt for the in game cosmic association
Surely u get
nature magic is seperate from earth magic (see grookwarts)
it
What? The clown? It clown?
shmeg also read the aldwell library book Sight of Sasha
Fruma god eats a child
the book
Oh, lmao, I didnāt know they added anything there
Fruma god allegedly* eats a child
Horror story for childs to dont go out into the mist
Iām gonna be extra super duper honest here: Iāve been literally AFK in Espren/Auburn since it dropped to live
I just got to the industrial district, like, 3 days ago
Says the story book
ok but its also really funny
Accidentally leveled to 111 just from hitting mobs and running through leaf piles
Ye
Most likely propaganda from parents to get their children to behave
that the only story about a god other then the creation myth is about it threating to eat then kidnapping a child
Have u seen lief pyle? U should carry around mr mushroom
I have
Mr mushroom my goat
Yo whats ur rank
I do not carry Mr mushroom, thoughā¦
Im #1 liff grinder
Rookie numbers
Mr mushroom has canonically gone with us to the light realm and has thus seen orpheon
Itās true, itās true. I sold so many
Mistwoods
on the whole "is there actually a proper distinction between the plane of physicality and influence or did the tree make it up" thing, the all-knowing content book does seem to think there's such a thing as the "physical plane"
My beloved
Because the Queen made it pretty clear that this is an old technology that has been available to her for a while
more like the tree doesn't properly define what the plane of influence is
i wish talking mushroom had more dialogue in fruma
This is ct hinting to the next update (realm of bugs)
like, twos explanation seems to imply that the "plane of influence" is just the void, with influences hanging out in it
i mean bak'al made it
we just need to force him to make another
Which explanations exactly?
twos diagram in overture
The fact that light and dark seem to be the only representatives of an influence is strange, though. I suppose ||war gets one||, but wouldnāt other natural, cosmic, etc concepts get one, too?
Baākalās pretty old, Iām assuming
Bakal made the resonance weaver core?
Space update in 2040 will tell
Ye
ok yall look at ts. is this not a blatant lie especially onsidering the new lore with fruma?
A thousand years old
the cursed existed before the portal no
Uh oh
(in wynn)
yeah, its in the postraid dialogue
Depending on where this is, yeah
it's in the lusuco library secret discovery
This is just classic historical stuff inconsistency
Huh interesting
That makes sense
do we have a date for when like the ancient civilizations happened
Havent figured out yet
There wasnāt an ancient city for Lusuco
I think it was something 1500 years ago?
Lusuco is a generally ānewerā colony, from what Iām aware
If u wanna try figuring it out, look at like olm history and the cycles mentioned in fruma lore
i mean yes but we can also try to rationalize it. Outside of fruma the only magic using human was... the Desert Emperor
so like
I find it weird that lutho is the only big instance of light meddling in wynn
kinda accurate
Lutho, you mean
Ye
Yeah mb
Or idk
Oh yeah
One with that random library that forces you to get 5 gunpowder
idk it got changed semi recently
Pig puck my beloved
idk if the wiki is updated
Literally the hardest SD
Lusuco's lib?
No gunpowder on market? Gl grinding it out of prospectors
Ah
yeahhhhhh look at this, the immortal guy was killed before portal
no hold on it defo got changed i think
but it's fandom so it's probably old
The⦠immortal?
I mean thats obvious
It was surely BP
I did the secret discoveries recently and I think I heard the empire was 1500 years old
mmm
so a bit of an inconsistency with the fandom thingy
like but 1500Bp or like 500BP, since current day is 1000AP
yeah but look at this
anyways even if it's 500bp that's still before portal
so this book is GOOFY and WRONG
Misinformation book
Lusuco is a book of lies
Lies of lusuco
Book of Misinformation
Only SD in Nesaak till 1.19
i mean, the portals opening WOULD make sense as a catalyst for why innate magic users started appearing
On the topic of lusco, tower of ascention is another instance of cosmic/meteor magic
Could explain why an impostor of death is up there ("death" went crazy looking at the crystal and saw themselves as the real death)
Not really
ToA could have some potential towards Olmic settlements, tbh
i mean kinda. Crap is invading the world, so the weave becomes a bit unstable or the physical plane fights back and badabing badaboom we get more magic
Twain propaganda
On the topic of portal opening
Spymaster says that this is the 2nd time the realms of influence fought
Do we have literally anything on the first time?
I feel like it was never mentioned anywhere else
Idk how, but itās cosmic in nature, so maybe
It could explain why Fruman colonies never made it towards Lusuco, and only inhabited more so after the portal
Actually, wait, Nesaak had no Fruman colonies
Ye
Those are Wynn colonies
nesaak lore just doesnt exist outside of Theorick's lifetime, lusuco lore doesnt exist period
I mean if we dont get confirmation on this..
So, yeah, Lusucoās library being fucking nonsense and wrong makes total sense
Forgery has some lore about a āfirstā corruption portal long before the one we have now
If I remember correctly
"yeah so theres this guy that can talk to the dead and hes the only one that can do it ever. Then he dies"
but I thought theorick's house was in lusuco?
wat
Its in that area ye
trust
Lusuco didnāt exist⦠idfk
what
but this is the lusuco secret discovery š¤
Or at least some lore related to the forgery
seems like it, explains how the Silent Expanse got infested with darkness before the portals opened up
maybe he switched houses later but it's wack
This story was made before 1.17, I think. I canāt remember if the library was added as a part of the SD update, or not
Why does luscuo have ice golem people anyways
who knows
Because 1.14 was the update that needed to show how many cool player models they can make
Ice golem ppl?
But the forgery is in Gavel, and the silent expanse is in Wynn
Like the ones in the cave?
Gemini item lore
The gods of air and thunder, frustrated with being physically insubstantial alone, decided to band together to forge the ultimate leggings of defense.
Nasakeksh is the god of storms and Sasshahuth is like a mist/wind god
trust
its not outdated
they just thought of it all ahead
THERE WaS A REASON FOR IT
Two gods combined together to make the absolute most MID pair of leggings in the world
no i mean they all point to the fact that 0 AP wasnt the first time the portals were opened, they were opened for a time before then but closed until 0 AP
We have like no fucking knowledge on when that was
Wait where is this stated
also we still ahve no clue what the Blight is do we
this will was to twendle right? the npc for the twain house quest
Like other than that
though "honorary Twain" is an odd term
its implied in the Silent Expanse - how could the Dern Beast influence the SE if it happened before the portals opened in 0 AP?
As for the Forgery i forget the exact wording
the Blight?
Blights both a metaphorical term for anything that could potentially build resentment, distrust, and ācorruptionā within their society, whilst Blight also refers toāwhat I believe to beāunwanted influence from the gods
i thought this was Bob
"The Blight is [NIVNESH PRUTS], I are no ⦠,no [TES|HALPETS] to assume"
no like
the frumish text
mentions Blight with caps
A LOT
probably makes the most sense yeah, bob also trained under him
Was SE before 0 ap?
I always thought it was after the portal
If not the realm beasts, than their own gods
I mean there are no caps in frumish lol
Thats just snerp's doing
no no guys
Probably before, because the Olm are like super old
Nvm
it took a lot of investigative work on my end, but i can confirm the SE became dernified before 0 AP
Ur right then
the beasts could influence wynn long before the portals emerged
yes BUT, the english translations do capitilze blight
Thereās a clear motif throughout Wynn that beasts, gods, whatever with extreme levels of power and āinfluenceā inject a blight into their claims
Huh
Would love to see a document on that
Would be a good read
the roughworks shrine has an instance of it being lowercase AND capitalized
then afterwards their connection became severed for a while, and started back up again when the portals reignited
Is there a fruma timeline document?
wait
Source?
Dont think
btw I hate the fuck ass way they write the years in fruma
It destroys all but the most adapted to their world, and leaves very little diversity and growth, which is an antithesis to what humans represent
East of fruma is wynn yeah
There's 1 img
have a look, i discuss the silent expanse and the broader history of the Olm
is the blight the queen emerging? or just another word for Corruption
I have a feeling it could be both
Thats lowercase cuz snerp typed it lowercase
whatever this Blight is... i think it might be Rex's brother
They could be referring to the portal opening
Before the queen officially took over
We donāt have a clear picture of what Wynn looked like, before, but, surely it would have some little bits of corruption around it
yeah i know im just assuming, since is IS capitlized in the roughworks shrine whose translation is in game, that they should all be capitalized
Think Gavel and SE, which had their claims influence sorta just⦠there
I mean i'd think corruption can't exist without the portal 1st
Before they broke through, ofc, and made monster mush
That was before war actually had any influence tho
Was the Light Forest like that pre portal?
True, as the light had control over elven society even before the portal opened
light forest is pre portal i think
Corruption does exist, though, because of what lay beyond the portal. Itās an influence like dark and light, though significantly more uncontrollable, which leaves Ana to her ambivalence of it all
It did
the portal opening was the 2nd time the portals opened
Wrong message
they were opened before
It was
I mean it can't exist on earth
light forest and silent expanse are examples of light/dark influence before the portals opened in 0 ap
I think itās better to say that it canāt spread
lol
Because, surely it had to have something there beforehand.
Pretty sure yeah
If you go back to the adoreis secret cutscene you can prob see it
Wdym?
In the location of the portal there was just stone
SE shows that the portal itself was there, and caused some kind of break around itself, while the light forest shows that the guardian of the forest had some kind of influence to the surrounding area
2 confirms that war only started having influence when the portal kpened
And plus you can see the area around the portal being just stone when it first appeared
(for the 2nd time)
I mean to say that, whether some red rocks, or noticeable lava pools, I think it had to have existed very slightly. Not spreading, but just kinda there
Well it would have been the first time the corruption portal opened
Eh
Well ye
portals were open, stopped being open, anathema formed, then 0AP they opened again
the queen also mentions it in postraid dialogue but i don't have that doc saved
the silent expanse was destroyed when a fireball, possibly from the dern beast, targetted the olmic city. I personally think Orphion did something similar, throwing the gylia meteors towards gavel
to screenshot it
Did the elves really cause it to open again?
This just seems like such an insane thing
yeah
Yeah
Crazy theory
Yeah
Would not surprise me
i think queen says that light and dark still held a little bit of influence, so orphion probably manipulated the elves to open it
so he could get back to conquering
the two deities throwing cosmic objects onto the earth to spread their influence seems plausible
Oh Orphion
Makes sense
Glad to see the elves arenāt entirely to blame
i mean prometheus is still stupid asf
Orphion actually is lmao
Oh... Orphion the gaslighter caused this
Doesn't make sense for them to have those cosmic objects lol
Didn't they say that orphions vision was a warning?
Bro was hopped on LEDās
hold on lemme find it
He couldnāt think straight
had one too many blue mushrooms
Council of shattered minds, ngl
Orphion once you think about the universes biggest gaslighter, even tried to gaslight into thinking itās good
Is this a reference to the wynncraft quest "shattered minds" š
orphion full on manipulated prometheus to open it
And in my theory, gaslight you into helping him get rid of Lari for being unloyal
"Hey Aldorei, your god Orphion is a master gaslighter hes no better than the Dern beast"
Orphion simply wishes to help the people of the world
Funny that orphions manipulates the portals back to being opened only to be no diffed immediately after
yeah...
Lari is no longer a bad character ngl. Orphion is just so genuinely fucking evil that I canāt even try to see Lari as selfish
Orphion is the type of coworker who would tell you that the boss actually asigned Orphions work to you
I personally like Lari from the beginning, and the recent revelations has only made it easier to defend her actions
also orphion being evil makes the colossi's title of "protector" make far more sense.
My bets are, the colossi and all the ancient constructs were created to keep gavel safe FROM THE LIGHT
thats why theres no evidence of light past the canyon
Let the lighg fade
@hybrid gazelle didnt u say something like this before?
I donāt like her/like her because sheās way too prideful, considering the circumstances
Trashie called evil orphion a long time ago
right fucking there
yes it was my Gianttheory
humans COULD harness magic before the portal
Lariās writing isnāt perfect but a lot of people confuse characters not acting rationally with characters being badly written
the discoveries directly contradict each other
Like, her ego is so insanely bloated that it literally eats her from the inside out
Thatās fair, she is flawed, and her writing needs improvement
shes an elf they cant help it
Sheās miserable, and hates herself, but canāt stop, because sheās still clinging to her own selfishness
then hashr even goes ahead and says more people can harness magic
the colossi are designed to protect against the lights invasion, and then light starts its second invasion and their response is to destroy the fuckin world?
Itās, like, the most interesting coping mechanism for an āantagonistā
the colossi simply try to isolate the rest of the void into the void
Ok one question I still have
Orphion mentions a "she" that "feeds this senseless war"
I thought he was talking about anaheim, but shes explicitly against the war
So who is orphion talking about?
in order to prevent further spread
unless like, the emperor's magic came from the scepter
However, because sheās a protagonist, you need a way to redeem that side of her 
I figured that the Colossi just need regular maintenance of some kind so they kinda just started breaking down
the colossi were created to detect light magic, which was fine during the period when the portals were closed. But afterward, they started going berserk and the canyon colossus had to be repeatedly pacified due to the light magic everywhere
Well the dark equivalent to orphion is a she
but the cursed probably still existed before portal so eh
Tbf, they are not very smart golems
With Orphion being the definition of Gaslight, Gatekeep, Grilboss, it's no wonder why the Light Monument in Luthos is...yea I don't like that
Trust my the colossi are actually opening the void up to protect against the light
also that would explain why the canyon keeps out the dark parasites. It keeps out light and dark alike
That is one of the things I would like to see in the Dern expansion, as all evidence I find points to her being alive in dern
They are similar to Anti, in that they just found the easiest solution
But here its about feeding the war
Not directly acting in it like dern beast is doing
It sounds like orphion is talking about another actor
She feeds this senseless war by preventing the ultimate triumph of the Light
also i dont think destroying the world is what they were programmed for - they were targetting light's influence, it just so happened when they were activated all of Gavel was engulfed in light's influence
So more orphion manipulation so he can win ig
Light and dark being weak against void is back on the menu
both light and dark LIVE IN THE VOID
Stfu
Iām excited for a RoL rework, because Iām hopeful that Lari will retain this ego driven perspective of herself, in tandem with Orphion, and maintain a similar aspect of that to her personality, without it coming out as arrogant. I think it needs to be depicted as destructive, and self-deprecating, because itās a far more interesting/redeemable flaw that way
But they can't do anything there
It's weakening them
True
it would be so funny
void is empty space
Like, Lari is very proud, andāironicallyāitās a huge source of her shame.
By killing the Queen, we allow Orphion to achieve her ultimate victory
2 states they're the light's
they can't fight in it cause theres nothing in the void to fight over
I donāt we will have an evil or corrupt Lari, as we already had that friend turned into enemy plot with Tasim in Fruma
Just make it a bit more clear as that, and youāve got a golden character fr
n o i mean like
lari gets captured
and becomes a dark scion
What about the void villagers?
I thought the void warped them in some way
Cool thing that could happen in the future if the theory's correct: We get access to the realms of light and dark, and we call in the CC from the top ropes with a steel chair to dunk on the beasts
Also, fix Orphion, please, heās the actual fucking failure in RoL
CC?
Lari's emo phase
Ig it does something then !
Canyon Colossus
OR SUI
He's pretty good at lying
SUI BECOMES DARK SCION
how strong is he?
EVIL SUI
imbuing your enemy with your own power sound
Fuck no
really dumb actually
I need Sui
Heās also good at not doing anything, and dying
Bob PLEASE HE HASNT HAD LORE IN FOREVER
i mean, he has implied lore kinda sorta now
HE NEEDS SOMETHING TO DO
I mean the parasite is beating him
Lari has swapped sides to the dark after her offscreen enemies to lovers arc with Bakāal
"Dogun chiefs, I come for a favor. Can I borrow the Colossus to beat up two primordial deities?"
How so?
Bros the king of riddles, and decided speaking in clues was better than saying āplease for the love of me kill this purple prickā
Objectively understandable. Orphion sucks ass, and DB is cool
Bro gets shit done
No you don't understand
He has to aurafarm and be nochalant
Can't be caught lackin
Orphion is good, Orphion is pure, Orphion is greater
Bro lacked with tape worms for 1000 years
its in the postraid dialogue for the queen
A worthy sacrifice
ā¦
where is this exactly?
ā¹ļø
to be fair im pretty sure the parasite only infected orphion some 200 years ago
It was eating gavel for 1000 years, at least
The fortress in the mistwoods
bob disappears to seal the darkness in 985 AP, which fits the "better part of two decades"
And it only got to kander?
yes but that specific candle
Tbf, it is a small bug
lari and dulla were battling it for 1000 years, but it only infected orphion and caused the decay 200 years ago, could be getting my gavel lore wrong tho
And dirt is chewy
Donāt know
Honestly, I havenāt read the dialogue in RoL in a while
remember TNA olm theory?
THey turning Bob into anotehr TNA š
It couldāve been 200 years, a thousand, Iām not sure rn. Ik it emerged 1000 years ago, though
The decay has existed for longer than Orphion has been infected, if I remember correctly
The theory is that TNA is an olm who got mutated
TNA?
in Dern
Nameless anomaly
Ah
Idk i think Bob Battery is a funny name for the theory. They got the mf hooked up to the CONTRAPTION
next time we see Bob š
It looks more like a giant olm skull thatās controlled by a crystal, which is what I thought TNA was
Ensemble of Hope had one of those
Im hoping we actually meet bob in dern
Same
i assume we will
also ngl
Doesn't even 1shot smh
yeah its just a matter of what state bob will be in when we find him
My flesh is too strong
Bob has lived through way too much
we have no idea
He went to dern
and the date give nby Anathema imply Bob disapperance has something to do with dark having the advantage
I know wtf happen to Bbo
I just mean
He went to Dern, and his grave showed up
Bro deserves a dirt nap; poor guys doesnāt get to sleep
what happen to Bob in Dern
the last stuff we know is that he was going to dern to seal away the beast using his life
Dern expansion will probably tell us
I find it interesting that realm of darkness has a name (dern) and realm of light doesn't
idk, maybe bob got brainwashed and became a dark scion, maybe he had his power drained, maybe his attempt to seal darkness did the opposite and gave it more freedom
HOLY SHIT NO WAY
Ye
The existence of reincarnation, and the fake bobs tomb is such an insanely silly thing
I know
I fucking know
Stating the obvious as usual
I just saying what could happen to Bob in Dern
Why did Nilrem make a fake Bob boss fight in a heaven realm
Lern
trashie ur not going to believe this, but i think caid is rex's brother
No fucking way
bak'al got bob hooked up to the torture nexus in dern
Next time you telling me is that Zhiraok and Gale are related
And why did he lock it behind bobās animalās skins
you're never gonna believe this........
trashie... i think the wastelands is gonna have oru in it
NO WAY
something tells me gikyo might be a changeling guys
Okay wild idea, if lari was imprisoned , and we have to go save her in Dern, the person who is guarding were every she is will be Bob
the gikster
Nah hes just a great cosplayer
Consider Dern
Iāve got a theory that the road to Dern might be near the abandoned mines
I think Lari is more than captured
He lost to the dernic beast and was tortured until he gave up and became a scion
my bad gang it appears i've spread some misinformation on the internet
Dern Beast proably finding a way to use her
Thereās this really weird entrance to the right of the place that just looks like a path
does this make any sense
it's about wynn
isn't the wynn population remnants of the fruman colonies
Yeah, probably look to find some weakness to exploit in the light, or Bakāal could be doing that
like, I don't think frumans could even migrate if they wanted to
i dont think this has been updated with fruma lore yet
Bak'al comfirm to have PhD
it's the llevigar library
Because itās history written by people 500 years after all hell broke loose, and canāt properly hold records
Doesn't "colony" mean there was ppl there before
so he might be do some experimenting
Is this llevigar's library ?
New idea: ||Saphanis|| has a changeling scion who wasn't stupid and just copied them instead of random people.
Infinite power glitch
yeah
Canāt wait for the reveal that two is not a scion of Corruption but a scion of Light
Makes even more sense, cause they got the info from Wynn
Villagers are Stoopid there solved it 
And Wynn is a province of people who literally cannot keep records, due to the war
I have a wild theory in that Bakāal is going to try to extract the light from Lari and use it for himself
And fruma has been closed
Villagers are highkey the most successful race in Wynn
Gavel* 
What is this villager propaganda
Also, the Doguns would be far more prosperous, if not for the Dwarves
hold up... this lowk makes sense
The realm of dwarfās beast
I mean, who owns Wynnexcavation? Humans?
fruma does withhold magic
Wynn* too
They mass funding their own colonization there
scion of the Gambling Beast
They control almuj
Gambling beast š¤
The king of Troms, ofc
Is my fav beast
Villagers in Wynn seem to be somewhere between colonists and a merchant minority
Call me back when they invent chainsaws and vending machines
im so upset that i don't have his pronouns are they them gikyo saved
King of Frauds, more like
They donāt need to, they own majority stock in those inventions

Why do we even have nb characters in wonncraft, not like they have gender constructs do they
They invented emeralds, i think, until their greed opened the portals
wonncraft
Yeah wait I realize the villagers have the troms king on a leash too

The realm of gender
Who needs chainsaws when you have security cameras
You mean the Burger King?
also has anyone checked if the Resurrected Head has any dialogue in fruma
since talking mushroom does
I mean characters do call each other he and she and they
Gender as a social construct is still present in Wynn
Who would win a powerful city state thatās militarized and heavily defensible or one villager side-villain
(Itās the villager)
granted resurrected heads dialogue isn't as fun as talking mushrooms
Can't wait for the day they redo wynnexcavation
as long as concept of musclinity and femininity exist there will be someone who bound to not feel associate with both end of the spectrum
And thereās, like, no working dialogues anymore
Amadel will be a god, donāt you know
wait did they remove it
Revanās head is still in my inventory, though
Yes, the āI love roughworksā shirt person is NB
