Oh just realized it’s called the sight because Chaos is stated to have one million eyes holy shit im slow
I feel like it’s the same reason the Gravy acts strange / against the interests of itself at times. It’s because they’re both currently being puppeteered by the Order through the installing of a few Order members in positions of power.
I think they’re doing this not only to control politics, but to use the recourses of both organisations like what they did in Ravenna to ensure more efficient outputs of their research/abductions.
yea no hes 1000% alive, that mans corpse has not decayed for centuries, and this room is evidently not without oxygen so…
im pretty sure this is just a teaser that this dude is gonna be revived and is either gonna help us, or be an absolute menace
God I LOVE all the theory crafting that’s coming from the new lore bits, I really dig the idea that the Seekers of Sight were the original Order of Aesir. It really gives them a history that makes it feel like an actual cult. Great stuff as usual Spectre!
But as for the hammer, the folks in the other thread on the hammer managed to decypher the nordic runes to the modern latin alphabet:
Buuuttt according to Tobi, it turns out it’s just a lil developer joke that has no bearing (that I’m aware of) to the lore
That’s actually the symbol for Hades staff. Not sure if it’s officially confirmed, but I did make a sail pattern based on Hades’ staff. If you look up “Hades symbol” on Google, you’ll find plenty of designs that closely match the one in the screenshot.
I made a minor mistake actally, you aren’t supposed to unscramble it. It just says “Hammer modeled by Astralworks all hail Ravencrest" backwards.
Yeah, it’s a bit anticlimactic. Honestly, I’m surprised they didn’t flip the hammer so the runes were on the bottom. Not sure how that made it in, considering it has no lore relevance.
Actually they might say that’s pretty Ancient. An island surrounded by storms that’s hidden enough that the Navy just straight up doesn’t go there seems like it’d be shrouded enough that in a few hundred years it could get like that without people going there.
It could just be pretty ancient in speaking terms, considering that the “Visigoths” (as I will call them) have left behind all sorts of broken marble structures.
Personally, I bet that second flag belonged to the Visigoths.
We can’t forget that this place had a whole above-ground population too.
The catacombs were probably a front to keep the Visigoths from knowing about the Ritual Chamber.
Any poor soul who went deep enough to find out ended up like the guy in the hidden armor set.
I mean, seeing as the visigoths exist irl, these ruins are easily older than The Shattering and possibly Pre-Durza and possibly built during the Golden Age of Magic. don’t think the banner is theirs and I don’t think a banner should’ve survived that long down there.
Well, I do doubt that they’re the ACTUAL Visigoths, maybe a surviving civilization that stemmed from them. They definitely formed their whole ordeal after the Durza-ing.
Possibly, but for all we know the above ground civilization got wiped and it’s possible some people survived in the place that’d become the pit of Charon. This ruins are pre-history in the War Seas eyes. Who knows what happened to them
