I’ve been collecting messages from ghosts in the dark sea, and it brings up some questions.
First of all, with this message a ghost says, do you think Spirit Weapons are something players will simply gain? Or something we will need to find?
Because all the gods have died, as seen in the Arcane Lore, how would players be gifted these weapons? But then again, gods don’t really die, but simple fade away slowly.
Continuing what the ghost has said, King Arthur is included in the lore, and so are the Knights of the Round. Do you think King Arthur could be Arther the Curse Beard? Personally, I don’t think so, as the time jump from The War Ages to when Curse Beard killed Prometheus was around 100 years apart. But this leads to the next message.
Here we see that Lord Lancelot is maybe fighting a magic user using Blue Flames. Who else uses Blue Flames? Warren, who is the current user of the Inferno Curse, but if the timeline takes place around The Golden Age of Magic, Sea Curses shouldn’t have existed. Maybe Lord Lancelot survived the Fall of Olympus but was soon killed by unknown holder of the Inferno Curse. I don’t really know about this part but let me know your own theories.
Those are all the images I have currently screenshotted, and I will continue to update this post as more messages are found. Thx for reading all the way through my mindless rant.
We do not know if King Arthur was from the War Ages, there’s no confirmation. The name could be just be a reference to the myth, as you see there are three characters from the myth that are named in these dialogues.
Two, that isnt Lord Lancelot, Lord Lancelot is actually most likely the guy with the blue flames and killed this ghost, another ghost says that they need to warn Lord Lancelot about Agravain. Agravain in the original myth, is the guy who snitches on Lord Lancelot about his betrayal on King Arthur.
We don’t know when exactly King Arthur was around, but if he’s Cursebeard (which he is very heavily implied to be), then there’s no time gap that stops them from being the same person. A time jump of 100 years is nothing to a mage.
The most powerful ones live up to a thousand, and Cursebeard was already pretty powerful before he raided Olympus, so he could have easily been centuries old.
And it’s heavily implied that they’re the same person, with mention of Olympus falling, and people derisively wondering if King Arthur will be their new god, and the spirit weapon dialogue. Also, we see ghosts wonder if King Arthur has joined them, since they can’t sense his presence anymore (since Cursebeard died months ago).
Sorry for not specifying more, but most of this is just my presumption based on the ghosts messages. Also I think I mis wrote the text for the part about Lord Lancelot, missing a part that the ghost was the someone who witnessed the destruction, sorry about that. Tho I didn’t know about the Agravian guy, I’ll see if he is mentioned in anymore messages.
Yeah, I also thought that people back then could live a lot longer, and King Arthur could have been like a near Demi-god level and switched his name once magic became profound, but it would conflict with the theory I was already writing. It’s a pretty good theory too that King Arthur didn’t want people using the old gods power as he would want to ascend to god hood.
Arthur couldn’t have lived that long, because if mages live longer than other people, it’s because of magic circles, as using magic without using magic circles has the opposite effect and can basically kill you. And since magic circles have been invented after sea curses, Cursebeard couldn’t have lived that long. So at that time, Cursebeard probably wasn’t a thousand year old
I didn’t say he was a thousand years old. I was saying how long mages could live for, because he mentioned the 100 year time gap was evidence that King Arthur was not Cursebeard, when that shouldn’t matter since mages can live for centuries.
Also wanted to mention this, King Arthur seemed pretty against using any power given by the gods, like with his message about the spirit weapons. So it would highly unlikely that he would become Cursebeard now thinking about it. But with this message,
King Arthur lived during and end of The Fall of Olympus, so maybe he could have been Cursebeard, proving that they could have a connection?
Idk my brain is starting to hurt.
Could you explain a bit more why you think this? King Arthur not liking spirit weapons does not exclude him from being the same person as Cursebeard. If anything, it makes them more likely to be the same person, since Cursebeard had some sort of grudge against Olympus.
We don’t know much about spirit weapons, but it can be assumed that it was taught to people by the gods. And for some reason, many people despised them. Maybe the gods tricked people into learning spirit weapons, to keep humanity perpetually weaker overall than gods, with the immense strain it puts on mortal spirits.
Oh yeah, that a very good point now that you mention it. It would also explain how he got so strong in the first place, using his country to gather Aurem which only he would use. Which then led to Arthur being betrayed by Lancelot, a wielder of the Inferno curse after the Fall of Olymous.
nah, I think that Arthur and his people are just against the gods being the most powerful.
However there are also people who are in favour of the gods, and thus would want to stop Arthur from destroying Olympus.
Most of the gods will also want to stop Arthur, and would have probably given part of their power to the people in the form of spirit weapons, to thin out Arthur’s army.
But some of the gods also want Olympus to fall, because they disagree with Prometheus’ rulership. This includes Poseidon.
Who knows? We wouldn’t EVER be able to beat him anyways lol, tech made sure he’s broken, he’s roughly 800 times stronger than our MC at the end of story
