Lore drop thread(Sorta spoilers)

unless vetex has changed his mind for some reason then the old sea is a sea cluster

I really love the thanos pfp here he should go back to it

I don’t think he could let go of bufftex

Okay now how the actual HELL did Rupin kill so many people that Chaos nuked the Old Sea :sob:

I know it was pretty small, especially for a cluster. But Rupin truly must be THE Gankgod3000 if his tyranny was able to bring down Azathoth the Demon Sultan himself.

Anyway, that’s some neat lore. Can’t wait for the gatekept method on how they traversed the Dark Sea to be revealed now.

Had to have been at least 10x the population of Winterveil, considering how much space that is.
Honestly there should have been more people than just Trigno concerned with killing Rupin.

who’s this?

Maybe bro thought the most devious thoughts

Mainly a joke comparing Chaos to Azathoth, the outer god of all reality in Howard Phillips Lovecraft’s Cthulu mythos.

Creating your own mythos is literally leagues easier than accounting and condensing several millenia worth of storytelling of a pantheon consisting of thousands of different figures, creatures etc.

The Gravy being stronger than the AG makes no sense lol

You’re telling me the Gravy who can’t defeat BASIC ASS PIRATES are on the same tier as the mfs who DEVELOPED ELECTRICITYa (yes, below is a source verifying this) and were able to RIVAL and be EQUAL to the faction led by the supposed “strongest human” of all time and his literal GOD friend???

The same faction that had an elderly dude near retirement that could throw out fucking tornadoes that threw ships into the sky, destroyed Theos’ Ship (strongest non-curse user oat, btw) is not beating the fraudulent gravy?

sure buddy, sure…

Given that the War Seas is much more magically advanced and has a ton more curses than the Seven Seas, it’s probably just down to the Grand Navy having larger numbers of powerful figures and overall manpower, which would trump the AGs technology.
(They may also just have more members in general, or more members capable of using magic.)

Atp, we’re getting a book’s worth of lore from the Google Doc and Vet’s Discord responses rather than what’s actually in-game. :face_exhaling:

Truly a gameplay Vs. lore moment

Deepwoken developer mindset (reveal everything in the discord)
Atleast it’s Vetex so it’ll make it into the game at some point probably

Very optimistic are we?

the AG also scaled to clapping Durza so… yeah no Vetex is just overhyping his cringe AG ripoff

(though this lore in the doc might be outdated, we’ve never been told the EXACT curse users outside of Valencia, sub the illusive shadow government thing that actually runs the AG)

At least with Deepwoken, players understand that the lore is intentionally cryptic and vague and that’s how it’s meant to be told. With AO, the cryptic and vague nature of the lore often feels unintentional, stemming from spoilers for story parts we likely won’t see for months or content that isn’t in the game because it was added as an afterthought.

I wish the two were more connected. :smiling_face_with_tear:

Copy-pasting the lore doc into a book is NOT compelling or interesting.

I mean, the war seas has people like Warren and Wotan who could basically give Theos a even 1v1, so given that the GN are a actual prominent force in the war seas (and are supposedly winning a war against like a union of 6 massive pirate crews?) I’d say their more than capable of taking on Durza in the same way the AG was

To a extent but deepwoken also shoves a ton of its lore into books, referencing characters and lore facts that will never get added to the game (dont wanna go on a deepwoken rant here since this is the AO forums)
