    Test My Lore Empty Test My Lore

    Post by Blade of The Sun Sun Apr 15, 2012 5:56 am

    Okay so, I have this theory that I've come to see as completely backwards of most peoples theories on the lore. I can't think of every loop hole I need to go through to be able to explain why I think the way I do so I am asking you guys to question me (politely please) on the lore.

    My theory goes like this.

    Gwyn is dark/undead now. Gwyndolin and Gwynevere are not in league with each other. Gwyndolin is a black sheep of the family just trying to get his dad's approval. Gwynevere wants you to succeed her father and bring the sunlight back. Solaire is not the firstborn, but worships him.

    Now shoot.

    I don't understand why Gwynevere and Gwyndolin aren't in league with each other. Other than that, I agree with everything you say.

    Sounds about right, though something about Gwynevere in case you don't know.

    Spoiler:

    Other than that, those are typical views of people here, though some do believe Solaire is the First born, it's still really open. I personally believe it is Andre.

    Maybe we should form Churches of the First Born, and have many sects on who we believe it is.

    I believe is Andre too. I forgot Biorr fell asleep too in Demon's, just like Seigmeyer. He has some characteristics of Prince Ostrava (always in some kind of trouble). I don't know, I prefer Andre, he us just too different from the rest. Tall, bereft of the power of combat (using caestus) extensive knowledge of arms and divine weapons. It has to be him.

    Also in interviews it was revealed Andre was going to be a descendant of Gwyn, who would be very important but they had to cut the content. So, that could easily mean he is the god of war.

    The issue is just nothing really leads in that direction, I'm not saying it's possible, but just nothing leads that way. Also they were kidnapped, on the channeller set it mentions that they kidnap women for seath, at least two of witch are weeping females who formerly were Gwynevere's servants.

    They are found in Seath's control, and the Channellers work for him. I figure that he started doing this After Gwyn left for the Kiln really, kind of like "Hey, watch the house while we're gone." Then seath had the wildest party he can think of, as well there is a Channeller in the church until you kill it, and Reah disappears from the church and reappears in the Duke's. I imagine he was still doing some experiments behind Gwyn's back, but it just seems like he was waiting to start working his plots and ideas of betrayal, I mean really he "Betrayed is own Kind," what the hell does Gwyn expect Seath to do? Also as mentioned two of the Suid Head creatures in the Duke's carry miracles of Gwynevere, and have feminine voices and cry.

    I think those were more so failed experiments, though something interesting. Look at Gwyndolin's feat the next time you get a chance to.

    I'm wondering if maybe it is where his magical affinity stems from in some manner, but again I'm not sure at that point. Acidic probably has a better idea.

    I guess what I am getting at is that it is never revealed if the channeler's specifically targeted the maidens and they may have ventured to the archives on their own.

    The lore on Gwyndolin states that he was especially fond of the moon. I guess if Faith represents itself through sunlight than Intelligence, being its counterpart would be the moon.

    He might just be targetting faith users, which if there were maidens from Gwynevere around would definitely be faith users. Gwyndolin is a faith user, but he casts magic as sort of a conversion rather than intelligence. Maybe it is a means of transforming where the magic comes from, explaining why he is such a powerful mage?

    Intelligence/moon/dark miracle are those of Velka, although you need faith to learn them, but her talisman scales with intelligence, because she was a Witch-Goddess.

    Velka and Seath must have done something to that poor child. I think Velka went mad as well.

    I hope more lore from her comes in the DLC, we have so many theories about her.

    She is a rogue goddess. Its possible she went mad and tried to help Seath kill the other gods.

    I haven't gotten into the real Gwynevere theories yet, but the illusion one I have. Surprised no one mentioned that Gwyndolin's voice is the one that threatens you when you attack the illusion, not Gwynevere's. Also, not sure if you've had the courage to brave Emergence's linking lore thread but I did a couple runs into Anor Londo to look at paintings. There's a bedroom that I strongly believe was Gwyndolin's (as there seem to be paintings of him in it). There's one painting that's out of place style wise. It's of Gwynevere and looks pretty much exactly like the illusion. Kind of a circular thing. I think it's Gwyndolin's room because of the paintings and he created the illusion is backed by the paintings as well. Of course it's still possible it's her illusion and not his but everything I've found leads me to believe he made it as he couldn't bear the loss of his sister.

    Tolvo, why does no one ever discuss his "feet." What the heck is up with them? I kind of felt it was similar to bed of chaos in that he got caught up in something that mutated him but recently thought up this insanity......ready....here we go......

    Why was Gwyndolin raised as a daughter? The game is dark but incest and child abuse might be too dark of concepts even for this game. That's about the only reason psychologically speaking that makes sense (sadly there are lots of real life cases of this). Was the real reason to hide his deformity? Like the black covering on Rudolph's nose, perhaps he was made to wear dresses to hide his true lower body. Once you piss him off he's more than willing to show them off (Queelag's legs are still nicer however)

    Skare, just a heads up. Look at Gwyndolin's feet, then look at the Squid heads in the Duke's Archives in the jail area. I think you might make some connections.

    Yeah, I knew that's where you were going with that one. Which one of us is gonna say it? The possible best reason Gwyn didn't raise Gwyndolin like a son and possible heir to the throne.......

    Is because he didn't wear tights obviously.

    Also just a heads up to make things even weirder, because of his voice and appearance he was likely a Eunuch, this game is really *** up isn't it?

    As I've said I think elsewhere or maybe even in this thread, this might actually be the reason he is such a powerful mage while relying on Faith. As you know Seath has been creating abominations with similar physical make ups, what do they have in common? He appears to capture faith users, especially women more than likely because of Gwynevere's servants mostly being female faith users. So, maybe he was an experiment gone right done by Seath.
