Even lore wise he's not that important

silk widget
languid panther
#

i dont like the truly evil gbs

trail kite
#

From lore to ability to design and quote and inn note

civic geyser
#

You know when I heard he was a jailer I was hoping he'd be Mortas's jailer because then he would actually be plot relevant

proper jasper
#

Speaking of Nara, the difference between her eng voice and chinese voice is so jarring

languid panther
#

omg now i have to go listen

vapid musk
#

Yeah....

proper jasper
trail kite
#

Here is the note to prove that Fane is... totally creep me out

proper jasper
#

It's like, 60 y. old chainsmoker vs. deranged high-school girl

languid panther

vapid musk

Speaking about voicelines
Baden's "I AM ALIVE" in his skin feels really ironic kHAHAsos

He thought about... skinning alive someone

proper jasper

BADEN'S CHINESE VOICE GUYS

trail kite

#

Also in Thane's cinematic you can see him puff a breath

#

Sir your lungs are dead

trail kite
#

Mean...he is undead but...

languid panther
#

civic geyser
#

Theoretically Baden doesn't even need to drink

vapid musk
#

I still don't like English framton rosalinesad

trail kite
#

Wait he behaves like a living person

proper jasper
#

He can't drink

#

Or eat

trail kite
#

Imagine he try to eat

civic geyser
#

Of all gb Baden is the most humanlike

vale grove
proper jasper
trail kite
#

Imagine he try to taste Thane's cooked food again

proper jasper
#

KDJSKDJ WHAT

vale grove
#

I always though that they could eat or drink?

vapid musk
languid panther
#

hes humanlike in the not necessarily canon stuff which is jarring bc in the game hes still pretty messed up

vale grove
#

but it was for nothing

languid panther
#

except the recent event he acts normal

vale grove
#

languid panther

My heart goes out to random space ladies born from celestial eldritch destruction

proper jasper
trail kite

languid panther
#

trail kite
#

He still confused

proper jasper

trail kite
#

The baby is confusing

proper jasper
#

Stop taunting him

languid panther
#

trail kite
#

He don't know
How to eating food

languid panther
#

even the new anime trailer is two scenes of bullying baden

proper jasper
#

He can't even hold the plate and a spoon

#

At the same time

languid panther
#

HE CANT EVEN HOLD A PLATE A SOSDHKSJFDSLDHF

proper jasper
#

Wedding ring πŸ‘€

languid panther
#

thane and baden both lost the same arm they cant even hold hands properly it makes me insane

vapid musk
#

Thaden wedding.........

proper jasper
#

So they can hold hands

languid panther
proper jasper
#

Yeah and forget his eye too lol

languid panther
#

they both lost their right arms but for some reason badens art is inconsistent and they switch his arms a lot

vale grove
#

I remember a friend drawing that

vapid musk
#

Well in Chinese video where girl recap their lore, in comments someone said that this video confirmed that Thane lost right hand

proper jasper
#

Yeah they keep going back and forth on the hand thing

languid panther
#

yeah thanes is consistent but badens isnt

proper jasper
#

Huh, maybe I have to draw the hand-holding meme after all

languid panther
#

that one fanart for the games 2nd anniversary where they gave thane both arms just so baden and thane could link arms makes me go nuts its so cute

vale grove
silk widget
#

Baden just needs to pay silas a visit to get his arm reattached wufingerguns

languid panther
proper jasper
#

Don't even have to do that much. Just hot-glue one on

languid panther
#

hot glue im sobbing

vale grove
proper jasper
#

That makes me think, since gb are dead they technically can't heal injuries right?

languid panther
#

i get sad thinking abt how the lightbearers hate gbs so bad they arent even allowed anywhere near lb settlements

vapid musk
#

Yeah .. i think

vale grove
#

I think they can

languid panther
#

i think they can cause something something magic

vale grove
#

my gb oc Yusi can heal gb injuries-

languid panther
#

yeah thats why baden cant come home

proper jasper
#

I imagine Thane patching Baden up after a fight. Literally

vale grove
#

I have to draw Yusi more fjdsalffds

vapid musk
#

Niw I wanna make my afk arena oc

trail kite
#

Wait
Can GB and LB being family?

vale grove
#

languid panther
#

i dont really see why baden cant come home because the rayne house is mostly abandoned except thane, estrilda, and a handful of servants and guards its not like its in a well protected city

coral zodiac
#

I have uhhhhhh

trail kite
#

Or secretly being family

vale grove
proper jasper
vale grove
#

civic geyser

#

vapid musk
#

vale grove
#

coral zodiac
languid panther
#

coral zodiac
#

civic geyser
#

Imagine new gb. Owain, back from the dead, realizing his dads a god and his moms a demon

vapid musk
#

Ooof

trail kite
#

So apologize for that
Well
The main next gen of the nextgenverse are ... Caesar and Diantha, they're twin kids

#

They're lb and they're Thane and Baden's children

vapid musk
#

UwU

trail kite
#

Like...I like next generation ocs

vale grove
#

I have ÁedÑn (hypo), Aira (cele) (spoiler they are a couple, I have to write it down yet), Yusi - The death healer (gb) (she's super friend with Shemira, and a pirate when she joined Hodgkin's crew to travel to find a cure of Daimon's illness), and Arkalis (another gb)

trail kite
#

More interested in fankids oc

civic geyser
#

Owain gets taken in by another gb or lb, berates literal beings of power for being irresponsible

trail kite
#

The twin also have a little brother name Sawyer, he is baby

vapid musk
#

(if I make one oc... Can I post it here? (;ŏ﹏ŏ))

trail kite
#

Yes

civic geyser
#

There's still several gbs I want in the game

civic geyser
#

Show usss

coral zodiac
vale grove
#

I have posted some here

civic geyser
#

Same

languid panther
#

weve just commandeered this channel

proper jasper
#

They call it the lore zone but it is basically a fandom zone

vale grove
#

I love afk ocs

vapid musk
#

Oh
Thx
As soon as I make it I will drop it here hehe (β—•α΄—β—•βœΏ)

civic geyser
#

Can't wait

vale grove
#

Can't wait!

proper jasper
#

I don't think I'll make ocs, but I do like to make crossover content

vapid musk
#

oh
That's also cool area daimonstar

proper jasper
#

Yeah! I love thinking about what their skills would be, or how they'll be affected by the worldbuilding and stuff

vapid musk
#

I once write one crossover idea in table with Rayne family and dishonored
In other way it's also really fun

trail kite
#

They're fankids from my ship
Caesar and Diantha, also Sawyer (they're lb): Thaden
Artemis, Serena, El (they're wilder): Ferronn
Skylar and North (wilder): Ferrespen
Edward, Helena (lb): Oscargelo
Emma and Emmy (they're wilder twin): Lorsangelo
Aaron (not Eironn) and Abert (lb): LuciusFawkes
Ann (lb): MorrowEluard

proper jasper
#

I've always wanted to make one for the guy in my pfp. He's a necromancer of sorts, so it'd be fun to have him as an anti-gb, gb buffer kinda unit

trail kite
#

Sorry because I kinda like...

#

And they're not finished

#

Also GB fankids but that would be...very strange too

civic geyser
#

Very cool

vapid musk
trail kite
#

GB fankids are...Willow and Persephone are KelGrez while Judith and Azazel are TrezGrez

proper jasper
#

The names are really nice! I like them

trail kite
#

Judith is ...more like Treznor than Grezhul and...being like prank Grezhul

vapid musk
#

^^^^
This is really nice names

trail kite
#

Kinda like she learn some bad shit from Treznor

#

"Okay, Thoran simp"
"Who teach you how to say that, Judith?"
"Dad"
"..."

vapid musk
trail kite
#

Since I have too many so like I kinda slow for making them have personality

#

Also Morrow using dark magic and he has a Hypogean that he keeps inside the book

#

He could use Korgas to babysitter Ann and get criticism for that

vapid musk
#

Korgas: I'm not your babysitter
Morrow: glance
Korgas: jeez ok ok ok i get it

civic geyser
#

Amazing

trail kite
#

Local Hypogean become babysitter
Baden's shadow: first time, man. First time

#

Also the kids maybe have skill so the progress would take a long time... that's including university stuff and me being lazy

trail kite
#

Also some au that I didn't put my hand on it
Like ads act au

#

Ads act are like...mix pack between modern stuff and Esperia stuff

#

Except the heroes are now working for the ads company as the actors and actresses
They're just like
I want to make a slide of life stuff for that

civic geyser
#

Well the effects and costume artists for Orthros and Zolrath killed it

trail kite
#

Ads but base of the crappy ads that afk made

#

Read the first plot then said wtf after that

#

They make some normal ads and crappy ads of their own game that they're live or behind the scenes

#

Both of those time duo can kill everything, including ruining the time

civic geyser
#

I wanted an oc backstory to be like, Zolrath killed him as part of the long term plan for world destruction, but Orthros says no u and stops the accident by blessing the oc and stuff

#

But nah that gets too cheesy with the lore

vapid musk
trail kite
#

When both Orthos and Zolrath fight
They won't be able to record the ads due to time being ruined and broken
So Time duo fight = no crappy ads acting
Also have to tell that sometimes the au can be...sad and dark but rarely

civic geyser
#

They're so busy fighting they forgot to press record

trail kite
#

Or the ads wasn't make by them but from the unknown director of the ads company

languid panther
#

I like that Baden plays the flute in the silent blade which makes sense as a noble he probably knows how to play several instruments

languid panther
#

still catching up on the comic

vapid musk
#

This man is definitely in love

proper jasper
#

I get it Thane

languid panther
#

I found the best quality of the comics on liliths pixiv account i can zoom in so close and see every texture

languid panther
#

proper jasper
#

I'm very anxious about the next chapters ngl

#

I know the pain is coming

languid panther
#

Depression

#

I really like the detail the artist puts into the comic like if you zoom in on thane and badens faces after a fight they have dirt and sweat

#

I wonder if they'll do more comics when this ones done

trail kite
#

He is so beautiful

#

was beautiful and full of life

#

and slowly

#

slowly

trail kite
languid panther
#

Lmao GB just take over every place uninhabitable by everyone else

#

Invasive species

trail kite
#

They can survive... except under the sunlight

languid panther
#

im writing an outline for a thaden fanfic and realizing how all over the place esperia is as far as technology

trail kite
#

I think like... medieval theme fantasy...
With a little bit of steampunk

languid panther
#

yall got guns and swords and magic that does basically anything

#

yeah i opened my google docs to find something for work and got jumpscared by a thaden story outline i wrote exactly a year ago

#

time is a flat circle, they will always come back to me

#

a few canon things i refuse to acknowledge are: baden and thanes canon ages they are way too young. thane has never run into baden before the veiled wind event even though thane is zipping around esperia constantly with estrilda.

trail kite
#

Chap 25 and 26...
Of course, Esperia have technology too...kinda like steam-engine type

#

Also I deny canon Height of Baden and Thane

languid panther
#

Amabie (γ‚’γƒžγƒ“γ‚¨) is a legendary Japanese mermaid or merman with a bird-beak like mouth and three legs or tail-fins, who allegedly emerges from the sea, prophesies either an abundant harvest or an epidemic, and instructed people to make copies of its likeness to defend against illness.
The amabie appears to be a variant or misspelling of the amabik...

My only gripe, if at all, is how they're not picked up by Crunchyroll or something yet so they could make a fully fledged anime. They have enough stories intertwining to pull off maybe 3 seasons.

silk widget
# vale grove I need it

Well I can serve you with my own "top secret" abt hodgkin. The immortal ship and thr undead ship mentioned in hodkin and desira's lore are the same ship with different names due to inconsistency in translation. Thus you can speculate that desira and hodgkin know each other.

#

I posted this before, but you may have missed it, so repost

#

And to also start a hodgkin x desira new "ship"

civic geyser
#

We need a Torne Desira and Hodgkin union

#

Something something pirates

#

Torne indeed really needs to be mentioned more. Also his name in cn is the combination of all 3 undead individuals instead of just torne. Like this torne&horwich&porter

#

Welcome to another episode of trash talk on translation inconsistency

The left is cn lore of chap 17 and on the right is its eng lore

#

Oh wow. There's not a single thing that's the same

#

And the dragon island does have some story binding to it which is the dragon skeleton laying on the other continent who was killed by gouldos

#

The worldmap is filled with hidden details because of shitty translation, especially when it comes to the dark star realm stuff. The old translator just either completely removed the content related to dark star realm or rewrote the content that completely made little sense compared to the original content

#

I'll post some theory about gouldos and the ultimate boss who is sleeping in the dark star realm based on these hidden details later tomorrow

silk widget
languid panther
#

Holy shit πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

#

I meant to quote the message lmao

silk widget
#

Let's talk some more about the shitty translation to solidify my points. There is this whether Baden is Estrilda's uncle or father from the english player base way back then. Baden is estrilda's uncle was only accepted among the eng speaking players after lilith came out and confirmed it, but even then a lot of people still believe they were father and daughter.

#

Now let's look at the cn lore of estrilda and thane. On the left is estrilda's lore which mentions that her father and all other men of the Rayne DIE at the same time.

#

And on the right is thane's lore which explicitly states that all Rayne men died after Thane had lost his arm and had been serving for the family.

#

Which concludes that Baden could not possibly be estrilda's father at all

languid panther
#

I love your lore dissection

silk widget
#

And look at this shitty translation!!!

#

Translator be like... nope... estrilda' father died years ago

#

And look at what we eng speakeing players had created how many discussions about this father daughter uncle topic like a headless chicken

languid panther
#

If baden is 21 when he dies there's no way estrilda is his daughter anyways

#

I'm torn bc I do like the English story on the right better as a story you know

silk widget
languid panther
#

I also can't believe baden is that young but that's another story lol

silk widget
languid panther
#

I don't think whoever did the translations for the first like year and a half of the game was thinking about maintaining continuity

languid panther
#

I cherrypick lore for my own amusement but like. I don't understand eng players insisting the eng translation is the end all be all in a Chinese game lmao

silk widget
languid panther
#

Yeah I think I remember that

#

And then i joined this channel, and everything changed because I just didnt buy that shit, and spent sometimes using auto translators to compare the translations

Me: he should get free and kill the necromancer
Rando in this server: in cn he does

vale grove
#

EXACTLY

languid panther
#

Sobbing crying ect

silk widget
#

Is necromancy a gift or a curse for baden. To him, it's obvious a curse but for me, it's a gift cuz he gets to see his best friend again after death and get to fight together again which they loved to do back then

#

I just hope he won't be bothered by some of those blade nuns from the temple.

languid panther
#

😭😭😭😭

#

I think it's a curse because he can't go back home.

#

He can't hang out with thane, he can't see estrilda, he can't reclaim his title

Some time ago I had an idea with that while listening to music but I don't know how to write it down lorsob

It's blursed, there are ups and downs

He may not go back home but he's free to explore the world now

Actually wait does Estrilda know Baden is alive

#

Alive as in gb

fluid temple
#

πŸ‘€

languid panther
#

I don't think so? But like something that was brought up in the thaden server is that thane seemed really chill about writing that Baden is alive and sending that to the castle where a random maid read it to estrilda so it can't be much of a secret

#

And no one seemed very surprised that Baden fucking rayne is still around

Who is more powerful, according the lore-scarlet or izabella?

are we ever gonna get an explanation for how Baden got his memory back??

i mean i am still rooting for ulmus because his and tasi's lore is pretty connected and we kow that there is a wood guardian on the way, also not to forget how useless he is ingame

whole parrot
#

based on granits story I'm worried they're gonna make Seirus the ocean guardian even though he isn't

yeah and his lore ties in with tasi, not a hard time to make up why he was awakened and not tasi

whole parrot
silk widget
#

Eng lore just butchered that part

dark heath
#

Hi

silk widget
# whole parrot wait what??

Well in cn lore it said that after killing the lich, he basically becanw free of any control. The lich spirit was never able to gain control of his body and was even suppressed by baden to become his shadow clones weapon as you can see when you use him lol

#

That is the butchered part in cn

whole parrot
#

but all the other lore they've done with Baden he had no memory of who he was

#

even that silly comic where he somehow remembered his old horse but not estrilda

#

his lack of knowledge of who he is also featured in some annoying Dolly's corner

silk widget
#

I've never really treated those silly comics as canon. They just seems off a lot of the times.

#

we might be able to learn more abt his life after becoming undead if he became A hero.

whole parrot
#

a graveborn monstrosity without self awareness, his is one of Sepulchre's "the puppeteer's" playthings

#

yeah now see this i don't treat as canon because lol, it's obviously not, but i assume it's based on canon in some way

silk widget
#

We could interpret that part as a description of how he was when he became gb and was still controlled by the lich. Or it could just be that he was not able to regain all of his consciousness right away after becoming free. I would prefer the second idea as it will add a lot more to his story and will stay consistent to that dolly corner

whole parrot
#

honestly I've been waiting for them to introduce the sepulchre and have his story be like a follow up where he finally gets free from the sepulchre as a liche

silk widget
#

I doubt that lich will ever come back. He is done for by baden's will wufingerguns

#

Baden just slowly becomes my fav hero.

#

Both lore wise and gameplay. He becomes much more relevant in scarlet comp

whole parrot
#

i want Edwin, Edwins son, and the hypogean who is responsible for all of them. though ofc adding said hypo would never live up to things, like no character can live up to that kinda hype and rep

He's been free for a while and has had time to become more normal I guess

Got a question. What is ferael's story?

# slow nest Got a question. What is ferael's story?

If I recall correctly,Ferael was a skilled archer whom many women adored but he had no intention to settle down with any of them.
So one day a woman used a love potion on him and then killed him,expecting the love potion would last into the afterlife but it didn't and he killed her.
Now he has gone back to being archer,just doing his own thing.

I read his lore a while ago so a few details might be wrong.

Yep. That's precisely his story. I would add that the woman tried to killed fereal in order to refine a necromantic blood formation.

Cause the story plainly says that he was a skilled archer, had no interest in women and wanted the real threat. So he went and a mailers club hit him so hard he practically almost died

Then he woked up in a strange place and that's where a women comes in. Who's that women?? I'm a lil bit confused in his story.
