    5:58 Honestly, I think the whole village got put in Jars. Marika included. The Hornsent succeeded. They created a divine and rose it up. It then "betrayed" them for their actions were unforgivable to the one who they made divine. It makes the rest of the "divesting of the self" make sense. How did she do that? Well because it wasn't just her in there. All these people got chopped up and melded together in a big pot where eventually they all lost a sense of who was who, but they all universally held the same scorn.

    One thing is confusing me, are the hornsents correlated to the crucible? if yes why the Golden Order and Marika allowed the crucible knights as the "elite soldiers" of godfrey? Marika hates everything about hornsent/omens. Are the crucible knights somewhat related to the hornsent? or they are a different thing?

    You have missed two obvious points with this. Firstly is that the showrunners have changed Fallout lore to suit their own narrative. They have been given permission to do this by Bethesda. This means that they can shape the lore to suit the story they want to make. They do not have to stick rigidly to what we saw in previous Fallout games. Yet the most logical and obvious reason for why New Vegas is in ruins is Yesman. As you correctly pointed out, Mr House had no wish for conflict with the NCR however Yesman, under the control of Courier 6 could kill the NCR general after the conclusion of the 2nd battle for Hoover Dam.The NCR is forced to leave New Vegas and would be bitterly resentful towards New Vegas thus resulting in the ruins we see in the end credits.

  • @TheAstyanii
    @TheAstyanii 2 дні тому

    It's interesting to consider the possible reasons why Marika chose to remove Destined Death. Maybe she was traumatized by the tragedy of her village, and demanded that she never see those she loves die. Perhaps she was immeasurably selfish, and she knew that if she could never die, then her reign would be eternal. Most concerning is that she may have removed Destined Death because of her hatred. She did not want those she hated to simply die once and be reborn, she wanted them to suffer eternally. Destined Death did allow for one to lose people, but it also meant stories had endings and things could be completed. It is its removal that resulted in the curses placed upon Malenia, Miquella, Mesmer, Mohg, and Morgott, and her children were doomed unless either Destined Death was returned or something usurped the Greater Will. I doubt Marika was so foolish as to not connect the lines, so it begs the question: why did she willfully keep Destined Death stricken from the Golden Order? I think this question proves Marika did not do it for love.

  • @criewolf3040
    @criewolf3040 2 дні тому

    I’m confused about how Marika became a god without the help of Mesmer. Did she become a god before she had children? I suppose that would have to be the case but that would have to mean that she slaughtered the hornsent pre-Mesmer at the gates of divinity?

    • @naka3339
      @naka3339 День тому

      I think Marika was chosen to be a god by the hornsent, she probably manipulated them into becoming a god and bringing the spiral/crucible age but instead choose her golden age and betrayed them. Miquella in the trailer says the beginning is a tale of seduction and betrayal. Also the gate of divinity is build above their spiral tower and using the bodies to build it is similar to what they do with the jars. Also the Shamans ( numen ) were viewed are somewhat sacred people to them.

    Hornsent actually sided with Leda against me before I went to stop Miquella. Leda or Miquella convinced him that I was Marika's champion and Lord of the Erdtree. So he wanted revenge against me by association to Marika, but I think my kindness to him earlier made him think I was setting him up to be betrayed, that's when Leda took advantage and manipulated Hornsent

    i’ve been thinking that maybe both the cut/uncut omen in and around leyndell appear much more mangled and savage powers than the hornsent because the crucible has funneled their life force into them. Being described as both an amalgamation of all life and a spiral, it could mean that the crucible works as a kind of reincarnation. The hornsent probably had to deal with it but maybe on a lesser level, instead having rituals and cultures built on it instead of being literally haunted by the amalgamation of souls within them. Point being, the new generations of omen born under the order of the erdtree after the banishing of the shadow realm are born with the added masses, both physically and psychologically, of the massacred civilizations of crucible peoples by marika

  • @marinalexanduradu7384

    There's another clue, "Shaman flesh was said to meld easily with others", therefore since Shamans are Numen that would explain how Marika was Able to meld with Radagon.

    In many religious imagery across the world especially in buddhist religious imagery, sinners in hell are depicted as being stuffed into pots together so as to punish and cleanse them in hell in pots so that they can be born as saints in the next life. It seems the hornsent did the practice in actuality to whom they considered sinners so as to punish and cleanse them and then turn them into "saints". It also seems like the corpse/statue inside the tree might have been some sort of parental figure to Marika and Marika became a god and got vengeance so hard that omens are still hunted when we arrive. She might have also created an immortal order so as to escape her past of losing her family and people which may be why she plucked out the rune of death so none of her family dies. This may also provide an insight as to why she broke the Elden ring when Goldwyn died.

    The jars in the lands between seem to have the purpose of gathering the bodies or even just body parts of strong warriors (I imagine because of their like, vital energy), and later reach some minor erdtree to be cracked, spilling their insides and feeding the tree. What if the ones in the Land of Shadow are kind of the same, but for feeding the chaotic entity that is the crucible?

    The only thing I wanna argue is about the “end goal” of the Hornsent. I don’t think the status afforded to the “Sculpted Keepers” is the end. I think being like the Curseblades is almost an initiate level, and the Sculpted Keepers were chosen from highly skilled Curseblades. So they are directly connected but the true end goal in my opinion was becoming a “Tutelary Deity”. With all the places we find the mummified Hornsent statue things, where we find the Revered Spirit Ashes, we can assume that a LOT of people were attempting that. And with all the various places we find them it kinda seems like they all were taking a different path to that transformation and they chose to do it in many different places. Tutelary Deities are a concept that comes from real life. It means to be a protector, guardian, or patron of something, usually associated with land, a specific place, a person or their bloodline, or a specific culture. I believe the Hornsent trained and practiced asceticism to become more attuned to a specific location to reach this status of protector deity and possibly become a kind of spirit of the land itself, melding with it in a sense, mimicking somewhat the Potentates practice with the jar burials. Buuuut that’s also just speculation on my part you might know something I don’t that proves that all wrong lol.

    One of the things about the hornsent is that they only represent part of the Crucible, there ARE other aspects fo it, there are more. The Horn, The Feather, The Scale and The Flower. If the crucible is like the wellspring of all life then even Marika's people were also touched by the crucible, very like the Flower(or tree) crucible. Their flesh was able to meld with other's very easily, like trees and flowers. It's possible they reproduce asexual, see millicent and her sisters (but this could be speculation on my part lol). I think most of them are weak to fire, and ice with messmer, things that plants are very susceptible to. Numens were long lived, much like trees. Golden order has an affinity for plants and flowers. See the amber, dew, seed and erdtree talismans. It cultivated miranda flowers for their pollen in the perfume arts. For whatever reason the Land of Shadow had a preference for the Horn and feather crucible and likely looked down on the others.

    6:45 It is quite possible that the misbegotten are descendants/clan of Hornsent or a clan of different origin around Hornsent turf as the Grafted Greatsword reads: "A lone surviving champion from a country now vanished was so determined to continue fighting that he claimed the swords of an entire clan of warriors." -"A country now vanished" aligns with the Shadow Land being veiled out of existence. -"Continue fighting" could imply that Messmer's crusade at some point tackled a misbegotten clan OR the misbegotten were wronged by the Hornsent similarly to the bloodfiends; "Long ago, a subjugated tribe discovered a twisted deity amongst the ravages of war, and they were transformed into bloodfiends. The mother of truth was their savior." - Bloodfiend Hexer's Ashes -The name "Grafted Greatsword" goes in hand with the practices committed by the Hornsent, I.e; grafting shamans and criminals to "create" saints -The appearance of the misbegotten is rather similar to that of the Hornsent, and additionally misbegotten can be found throughout the Shadow Land. Most notably around mines. The DLC kinda implies the Hornsent were trying to 'achieve divinity' yet not all methods were considered legitimate by those of the tower (presumably the capital/center) as the Lamenter's Mask reads: "This transformation tallies with the state of a denizen of paradise, but the people of the tower denied and hid it from the world. In their foolishness, they viewed true bliss with deep fear." Could be that the misbegotten at large were a sect of Hornset who deemed their way of achieving divinity would be grafting themselves with aspects of the crucible. Some have wings "The Aspects of the Crucible: Wings" All have tails "Aspects of the Crucible: Tail" That could also be why we see a misbegotten warrior fight alongside a crucible knight in Redmane Castle. Alternatively they could've been a tribe in the Shadow Land that transformed into the creatures we now know due to subjugation, war, or w.e else and found their savior in what we know as the crucible or what its progenitor would be.
