2024.06.01 22:44 SaigeLegend Does the Silver Box of Ix Chel originate in Christian mythos with Christ/Saint John, or in Mayan mythos? Shadow of the Tomb Raider
In the library in the Mission of San Juan, Jonah and Lara see a mural of Christ and his disciples, showing Saint John carrying the Silver Box of Ix Chel. The Mayan mythos is that the goddess Xquic created the Silver Box along with the Yaaxil protectors (see Collectibles below). But the Collectibles below also suggest a link to Saint John, with visions of him appearing at the Mission site during eclipses, and someone sketching Saint John repelling a "demon" attack (Yaaxil? given that the tunnels below the Mission lead to Paititi). There is also a correlation between Christ and Kukulkan, given that Kukulkan must be sacrificed to atone for the world's sins and avoid a worldwide purge of sinners/humanity.
My question is, do you think that the Silver Box originated with Christ, and that its origins are Middle Eastern/Christian? Perhaps the Lord, after deciding he would never again destroy the world following the Flood of Noah (see Collectibles below), gives humanity their own agency through the Silver Box, to decide for themselves whether to purge or self-sacrifice. Perhaps Christ was the first "Kukulkan" to self-sacrifice for the world's sins via the Silver Box. Then Saint John and the disciples emigrated to Mesoamerica with the Silver Box, where there were subsequent Kukulkans sacrificed over the centuries, such as Coatlicue (see Collectibles below). Perhaps the disciples and their descendants became the immortal Yaaxil to protect the Silver Box, and the Mayan subsequently spun their own myths around the origins of the Silver Box and the Yaaxil. Trinity says "It has been four thousand years since the world saw purity", which I'm assuming means 4000 years since the Flood (purge) - so instead of wanting to be Christ-like and self-sacrifice like all of their Kukulkan predecessors, Trinity intends to actually keep the powers of Kukulkan and purge this time around...
Or do you think the Silver Box does have its origin in Mayan mythos, and that Andres Lopez completely made up the connection to Saint John and Christianity, and drew the mural from his imagination and obsession/insanity?

End Times
When the Lord gave His covenant to Noah, saying never again will he destroy the world, it can be interpreted as He has decided humanity has learned their lesson. But have we?
There is also a different interpretation to be made, and that is that He has given the agency of destruction to mankind itself. We are responsible for every living soul, and they are now tarnished and besot.
It has been four thousand years since the world saw purity, and we aim to end that. We will be the architects of the new world. We will pave the street to heaven for all. We will usher an end to this sinful, reprehensible world.
On This Spot
This document describes the founding of the mission. There were four solar eclipses in this region around that time: in 1521, 1538, 1539, and 1543. Spanish missionaries reported that during each one, a vision of John the Apostle appeared on this site. So in his honor, the Mission of Saint John was built here in 1544.
Trinity's Directions
These are notes the missionary took while he was in Paititi, at the resting place of the Silver Box. They describe a network of tunnels underground, leading all the way from Paititi to here. Based on what Lopez found, he made calculations for overland travel, which is why he ended his travels at the Mission of Saint John. He wasn't just digging the catacombs to hide the Box, he was looking for these caverns!
Repelling the Demons
This roughly drawn sketch shows Saint John repelling a demon attack. Perhaps they planned to have this as one of the frescos in the mission.
John the Apostle
John, son of Zebedee, one of Jesus' apostles, also called the Beloved Disciple. He and his brother James were known for their impetuousness and temper, which prompted Christ to start calling them Boanerges, Sons of Thunder.
John is credited with writing five books of the New Testament: the Gospel of John, the three Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation. He's the patron saint of love and loyalty, as well as writers, publishers, and scholars. One of his symbols is a serpent in a cup, which is linked to his patronage of victims of poisoning and burns.
Crucified Figure
Another example of syncretic belief. This figure portrayed on the cross is not Jesus Christ, but Kukulkan. I suppose a parallel could be drawn between the two.
Deadly Earth Mother
A heavy-breasted woman wearing serpents around her waist. This is Coatlicue, whose name literally means "skirt of snakes." She's also called Teteoh Innan, "the mother of the gods." She gave birth to the moon and the stars, and had over four hundred children, including the sun god Huitzilopochtli, who was also god of war.
In addition to being a mother, she's seen as the devourer of all that lives. It's said that she was herself sacrificed to bring about this current age of creation.
The Silver Box of Ix Chel
According to legend, the Key of Chak Chel and the Silver Box of Ix Chel were created in the heavens for one purpose: to destroy and restore the sun.
The ritual can only be performed during an eclipse. Once the ritual is completed, the chosen Avatar will hold the power of the sun within them. Having become the god of creation, Kukulkan, they must sacrifice and release that power to restore the sun.
But the Silver Box tempts people with visions of an idealized world they could create with that power: a fantasy of their own mind, an entirely new reality only at the cost of destroying this one.
In Honor of Xquic
It proclaims that this shrine was built to honor Xquic, Mother of the Hero Twins, Creator of the Silver Box of Ix Chel and the Key of Chak Chel, and Mother of their Protectors the Yaaxil.
"Those who have served Xquic with honor shall be granted the eternal reward of returning to their Mother."

2024.05.25 08:28 probloodmagic Marika: The shape-shifting snake goddess?
| So, Marika has associations with mimics and is a known shape-shifter, but most people assume that aspect manifests through Radagon. But what if that's not all there is to it? Godwyn grows scales and starts shape-shifting into strange creatures. Rykard becomes a snake, joining with a god-devouring snake, and has similar growths that resemble humanoid bodies and gore like the things that decorate the trailer. Even Miquella's cocoon bears a resemblance to the cracked eggs that appear in the opening image in the background as a snake seems to be consuming Rykard. And now there's a new demi-god with blatant snake iconography who is confirmed to be Marika's child. She wears the bracelet of a coiled snake. Why? Snake goddesses are nothing new and appear in many mythologies, and even in hermetic and alchemical lore, with snakes coiling around the bases of sacred trees, supporting the cosmos, or making up part of the trunk of a world tree. The material could be worn snakeskin that's been shed and could be hers, the grace she raises could be her own, pulled from her previous flesh. A giant snake could certainly explain the bloodbath of half digested corpses? And the creatures charged with keeping her family in line are dog-like canids - natural predators of snakes. There's an old story that inspired surrealist artists whose work very clearly influenced Elden Ring (I've mentioned this on here but google "Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man," "Rheumatic Pain II," or "The Magical World of the Mayans" for starters). The story is about a woman (sometimes cursed to be a) snake/mermaid/dragon creature named Melusine who would hide her true form from her husband, who was a king. She had children with the king and the two ruled a prosperous kingdom together. The problems began when the king noticed that she required a day completely to herself, and insisted on not being disturbed. Long story short, he got nosy, found out and she revealed that she was not actually human. There are different versions of the story, but in all of them the king feels betrayed, and in some, so does she. It ends badly, and in one version she changes into a dragon and flies out of a stained-glass window in the middle of church, taking one of her children with her, never to be seen again. Some of her children turn out to have the same affliction as herself, and... that lineage goes on to rule the Limburg-Luxemburg Dynasty. I'm not saying this bizarre legend is a 1:1 fit, but it's interesting. This possibility would also add a whole new layer to the Godskin Apostles' mission and the danger of Deathbirds - also natural predators of snakes. Snakes are viewed as traitors to the Erdtree, and there's talk of a betrayal in "the beginning." There's something to be said for the relevance of snake eggs and bird eggs and the motifs that appear in-game. Snakes are even associated with a curse - and Marika's children are cursed. Marika's origins are so cloaked in mystery that it's difficult to know how long she's been a player on the board. It's not even clear what the god of the dragons was. And her Crucifixion may immediately call to mind Christ - but that image works just as well as a metaphor for the Crucified Serpent of alchemical symbolism. And rebirth is also majorly associated with snakes in legend. I don't know if it's plausible, and while I'm sure there are other connections to be made between Marika, snakes, the Numen, and other lore aspects, there are probably other things that make it less likely. I just thought it would be an interesting suggestion to ponder over. Because, what is up with all the snakes? submitted by probloodmagic to EldenRingLoreTalk [link] [comments] |
2024.05.23 03:51 ArielAzul I want to create a series or story based on Monument Mythos that takes place in Guatemala What do you think? (Part 1)
| Many characters and events, both historical and mythological, from Guatemala could be used to create something of this style, so I want to present the ones that caught my attention the most and ask you what you think of them (This post is getting so long that I'm better off dividing it into parts, this will talk about the equivalents of George Washington and The Horned Serpent and some interesting facts related to them). I also have to say that this post takes a lot of things from Wikipedia to explain the things I will talk about here. Tecun Uman Was one of the last rulers of the K'iche' Maya people, in the Highlands of what is now Guatemala. According to the Kaqchikel annals, he was slain by Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado. Tecun Uman was declared Guatemala's official national hero on March 22, 1960, and is commemorated on February 20, the popular anniversary of his death. Tecun Uman Day February 20, published by the Ministry of Culture and Sports Guatemala At that time no one knew this character as "Tekun Uman" (Great Grandfather Tekun), since this is a name that was given to him later. In his time he was known as "Ahau Galel" which translated means "The King's grandson" and in that battle, between Kʼicheʼ and conquistadors, Tekun Uman wore a headdress beautifully decorated with quetzal feathers. The document Titles of the House Ixquin Nehaib, Lady of the Territory of Otzoya mentions that after killing the Quiche captain, Alvarado told his soldiers that he had not seen another Indian so handsome and full of such beautiful feathers in Mexico, Tlaxcala or the rest of the towns he had conquered. Finally, it must be said that in the Creole imagination, so deeply rooted in the Guatemala of 1960, having a defeated hero, like Tecun Uman, was very comfortable. It is the same idea that is reflected in the fact of “feeling proud of our indigenous past”, while at the same time a racist and discriminatory attitude towards indigenous people is manifested. Nobody thought of, for example, Kaji' Imox (indigenous leader and Kaqchikel ruler who rose up with his forces for an entire decade against Spanish domination), as the national hero, given that a defeated indigenous hero was preferable to an example of struggle and rebellion. At the same time, establishing Tecun Umam as a national hero legitimized, according to the Creole perspective, his true hero: Pedro de Alvarado, the victor. https://preview.redd.it/unk0esigv22d1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bfae5f7cdf84bd3e67a9a7d295a273e94a2ad876 Pedro de Alvarado He was a Spanish conquistador and governor of Guatemala. He participated in the conquest of Cuba, in Juan de Grijalva's exploration of the coasts of the Yucatán Peninsula and the Gulf of Mexico, and in the conquest of the Aztec Empire led by Hernán Cortés. Tomás Povedano paints Pedro de Alvarado, governor of Guatemala During his life, Alvarado developed a reputation for greed and cruelty, and was accused of various crimes and abuses by natives and Spaniards alike. In 1541, while attempting to quell a native revolt, Alvarado was accidentally crushed by a horse, dying a few days later. Pedro de Alvarado was flamboyant and charismatic, and was both a brilliant military commander and a cruel, hardened man. He is described as having "good features and bearing", and when presented with a picture of him, the Aztecs referred to him as Tōnatiuh. The Aztecs gave Alvarado this name because of his blond hair, and also his infamous temper. He was handsome, and presented an affable appearance, but was volatile and quick to anger. The death of Pedro de Alvarado On 14 April 1524, soon after the defeat of the K'iche' (Tecun Uman was one of the last rulers of the K'iche' Mayan people, it should also be mentioned that Tecun Uman died on 20 February 1524), the Spanish were invited into Iximche and were well received by the lords Belehe Qat and Cahi Imox. The Kaqchikel kings provided native soldiers to assist the conquistadors against continuing K'iche' resistance and to help with the defeat of the neighbouring Tz'utuhil kingdom. On 27 July, Pedro de Alvarado declared Iximche as the first capital of Guatemala, Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala (James of the Knights of Guatemala). The Kaqchikel appear to have entered into an alliance with the Spanish to defeat their enemies, the Tz'utujil, whose capital was Tecpan Atitlan. The conquistadors marched against the Tz'utujil with their Kaqchikel allies. They managed to catch some locals and used them to send messages to the Tz'utujil lords, ordering them to submit to the king of Spain. The Tz'utujil leaders responded by surrendering to Pedro de Alvarado and swearing loyalty to Spain, at which point Alvarado considered them pacified and returned to Iximche. Three days after Pedro de Alvarado returned to Iximche, the lords of the Tz'utujil arrived there to pledge their loyalty and offer tribute to the conquistadors. A short time afterwards a number of lords arrived from the Pacific lowlands to swear allegiance to the king of Spain. Pedro de Alvarado rapidly began to demand gold in tribute from the Kaqchikels, souring the friendship between the two peoples. He demanded that their kings deliver 1000 gold leaves, each worth 0.90 dollars. The Kaqchikel people abandoned their city and fled to the forests and hills on 28 August 1524. Ten days later the Spanish declared war on the Kaqchikel. On 9 May 1530, exhausted by the warfare that had seen the deaths of their best warriors and the enforced abandonment of their crops, the two kings of the most important clans returned from the wilds. A day later they were joined by many nobles and their families and many more people; they then surrendered at the new Spanish capital at Ciudad Vieja. Vandalized monument of Pedro de Alvarado Resplendent quetzal A resplendent quetzal The resplendent quetzal (national bird of Guatemala) is of great importance to Guatemalan culture, being present in various legends and myths. It was considered divine and associated with Gucumatz, a feathered serpent and god of life, light, knowledge and the winds, by pre-Columbian Mesoamerican civilizations. The Stone Quetzal One Mayan legend has it that a resplendent quetzal accompanied the hero, Tecun Uman, prince of the K'iche', during his battle against Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado. Tecun, equipped with just an arrow and bow, nevertheless is able to incapacitate Alvarado's horse on the first strike. Alvarado was then given a second horse and counter-charged against Tecun, running his chest through with a spear. A quetzal flew down and alighted on Tecun's body, drenching its chest in his blood. It was then that the species, which used to be completely green, obtained its characteristic red chest feathers. Additionally, from that day on, the quetzal, which sang delightfully before the Spanish conquest, has been mute ever since; it will sing anew solely when the land is fully liberated. The death of Tecun Uman K'uk'ulkan/Quetzalcoatl/Gucumatz/Ehecatl/Ehecatl-Quetzalcoatl Quetzalcoatl K’uk’ulkan is the serpent deity of Maya mythology, for some researchers this god is the same Quetzalcoatl of the Aztecs and comes from the Toltec culture (for others it comes from the Olmec culture). Prominent temples to Kukulkan are found at archaeological sites in the Yucatán Peninsula, such as Chichen Itza, Uxmal and Mayapan. The Temple of the Feathered Serpent It appears under the name of Gucumatz in the Popol Vuh, a book of Guatemalan origin considered the bible of the Kꞌicheꞌ Mayans, this serpent bird was the creator god of the universe, along with Tepeu. This god is believed to have invented agriculture, writing, calendars, and everything else made by humans. Basically, it was for the ancient Mayan civilization who taught them how to live. El Castilo (The Castle), also known as the Temple of K'uk'ulkan In addition, there was a legend that he dictated his laws and governments through elected officials. For this reason, the great Mayan lords seen on classical stelae carry the insignia of the god on their arms. The arch of Gucumatz A fragment of the Popol Vuh says: Truly, Gucumatz was a prodigious king. For seven days he went up to heaven and seven days he walked to descend to Xibalbá (the Mayan underworld); for seven days he turned into a snake and truly became a serpent... Giant head of Gucumatz Tōnatiuh In Mesoamerican culture, Tōnatiuh is an Aztec sun deity of the daytime sky who rules the cardinal direction of east. According to Aztec Mythology, Tōnatiuh was known as "The Fifth Sun" and was given a calendar name of naui olin, which means "4 Movement". Represented as a fierce and warlike god, he is first seen in Early Postclassic art of the Pre-Columbian civilization known as the Toltec. Tōnatiuh's symbolic association with the eagle alludes to the Aztec belief of his journey as the present sun, travelling across the sky each day, where he descended in the west and ascended in the east. It was thought that his journey was sustained by the daily sacrifice of humans. In Toltec culture, Tōnatiuh is often associated with Gucumatz in his manifestation as the morning star aspect of the planet Venus. The Aztecs believed in a number of sun gods. According to their mythology, Earth and its beings had been created five times in five cosmic eras and were ruled by five different sun gods. When each era or eon had ended and the sun god and its beings had been destroyed, the gods were to choose a new sun God. The four suns that preceded Tōnatiuh were called "4 Jaguar", "4 Wind", "4 Water", and "4 Rain." Each of the four eras and its beings had been destroyed by an element simultaneously named after its sun god: the beings in 4 Jaguar (giants) were consumed by jaguars; the beings in 4 Wind (monkeys) were destroyed by great winds; the beings in 4 Water were consumed by water; the being in 4 Rain (turkeys) were killed by rains of fire. There are many stories that narrate the creation of Tōnatiuh, but it can be said that, in summary, this is what happened, so that Tōnatiuh could be born Nanahuatl (a deformed and pimpled deity) and Teucciztecat (a lunar deity, representing "Man in the Moon") were sacrificed in a great fire. Xolotl (a god of fire and lightning, commonly depicted as a dog-headed man and who is Gucumatz's twin) withdrew from this sacrifice and wept so much his eyes fell out of their sockets. Xolotl After this sacrifice, Tōnatiuh emerged but did not move so the wind god Gucumatz began slaying all other gods to induce the newly created Sun into movement. Xolotl, however, unwilling to die in order to give movement to the new Sun. Xolotl transformed himself into a young maize plant with two stalks, a doubled maguey plant and an amphibious animal. In the end Gucumatz succeeded in finding and killing Xolotl. Even though all the gods died, in truth, he still did not move. It was not possible for the Sun, Tōnatiuh, to continue on its path. So Gucumatz had to straighten out. He grew extremely strong. He ran and blew lightly. Instantly, he moved the sun. So Tōnatiuh continued on his way. Tōnatiuh Before starting to explain what I want to do in a hypothetical series with this information, I'm going to clarify something. The deities and their stories (mostly) that I wrote in this post are fictional even in the world of the series. This means that I will only use these stories as parallels to events that will appear in the series and some real life events. In a similar way, deities do not exist as such but that is the name given to monsters and demons because they resemble those deities. Now I'll start talking about what I plan to do in the series: - Gucumatz is Guatemala and Tōnatiuh are the Spanish conquistadors (the non-literal part)
In the birth of Tōnatiuh that I wrote above, Gucumatz "helped" Tōnatiuh to "follow his path" by killing many gods (including his twin) which brought about a new era, the era of “The Fifth Sun”. I thought about using this as a parallel to Kaqchikel allying with the Spanish conquistadors. But how would this relate to Tecun Uman? Well, the alliance of Kaqchikel and the Spanish conquistadors began shortly after his death. So the event where all the quetzals obtained their red breast could be considered a kind of omen for the future of the country after this event. - Gucumatz is “Guatemala's True Self” (originally Tecun Uman) and Tōnatiuh is Pedro de Alvarado (the literal part)
I will explain this better in future posts. I will end the post with 2 curiosities! - In Guatemala there is a "joke" referring to a Tecun Uman monument located near a hospital. It is said that after the battle where Tecun Uman “died” Pedro de Alvarado was injured so he went to that hospital, which is why Tecun Uman is outside the hospital, he is just waiting for Pedro de Alvarado to come out to kill him.
A monument of Tecun Uman near a hospital - A historical monument in Guatemala called La Culebra (The Serpent) mound extends from the Obelisk Square to the monument of Tecun Uman located in La Aurora Park.

2024.05.20 01:46 Working_Ad_6606 I can't remember the name of this manga
I've been trying to find a manga about a guy locked up in a lab, eventually breaking out. I don't remember much about what happened afterward, except that the main character develops animalistic traits that grow stronger over time and transformed into the feathered snake(also known as Kukulkán) and also the MCs partner gets murdered. That's pretty much all I recall, but the manga heavily incorporates Native American mythology influences and features various Mayan/Aztec gods.

2024.05.15 08:10 eagle2120 [Very Long] Marathon, Angela, and Eragon Connections. Fractalverse and Murtagh Spoilers
I've been meaning to make this post for a while but life kept getting in the way.
There is a bunch of new (well, new to me) stuff I've discovered over the last few weeks, and wanted to share my thoughts with you.
Let's start with the "prequel" (although never canonically confirmed) to the Marathon series was a game called Pathways to Darkness. The backstory for this game is:
Sixty-four million years ago, a large extra-terrestrial object struck the Earth in what would later be called the Yucatan Peninsula, in south eastern Mexico. The dust and rock thrown up by the resulting explosion caused enormous climactic changes in the ensuing years, and many of the Earth's species became extinct during the long winter that followed.
The object itself was buried thousands of feet below ground, its nearly two kilometer length remarkably intact. It remained there, motionless, for thousands of years before it finally began to stir-- and to dream.
Hmm. Buried below ground. Finally beginning to stir and dream. Who does that sound like?
Let's keep going.
The heat of impact liquefied the rock around it, which later cooled and encased the dead god's huge body far below ground. As it began to dream, it wrought unintentional changes in its environment. Locked deep beneath the Earth, strange and unbelievable things faded in and out of reality. Vast caverns and landscapes bubbled to life within the rock, populated by horrible manifestations of the dead god's dream.
As it began to dream, it wrought unintentional changes in its environment.. Locked deep beneath the Earth, strange and unbelievable things faded in and out of reality.
Like Fingerrats? Or like Spider-wolves?
Vast caverns and landscapes bubbled to life within the rock, populated by horrible manifestations of the dead god's dream.
Caverns and landscapes. I want to expand this point here for a bit because it's also mirrored across Alagaesia.
Let's start with Helgrind.
For any FV enjoyers, I've previously speculated that Helgrind is a reliquary, or a previously living being that was transformed (a la Ctein).
But the curious thing here is the timeline of Helgrind and it's tunnel system, taken with the above context.
Q: Assuming it wasn't built by the Ra'zac themselves, was the lair inside Helgrind purpose-built for the Ra'zac and Lethrblaka, or did they appropriate it some time after it was built? If it wasn't built for them, what was its original purpose?
A: Partially natural formations (linked to tunnels elsewhere in Alagaësia), partly expanded by the priests of Helgrind and Galbatorix himself.
But... The Ra'Zac didn't inhabit Helgrind until at least after the Humans came over. So these tunnels underneath Helgrind existed before the Ra'Zac, or Galbatorix ever set foot on Alagaesia. Which, I don't know about you, but a massive network of tunnels does not smell entirely natural to me.
So.. where else are there "natural" formations that link to other tunnels elsewhere in Alagaesia?
We've seen these "natural" formations in Vroengard:
Q: The deeps under Vroengard, were they created by the riders or was it a previous system of caverns that they repurposed?
A: Previous system. I mean, there's been work done on them, but... 'It looks similar, parts of it feel similar to the caverns that we encountered in this book. They both have that hole in the cave which goes deeper, with something in the hole that's not clearly defined.' Yeah.
And we've seen similar depictions in the Beors, and Nal Gorgoth. So from the Beors to Vroengard, "natural" tunnels exist underground. I don't buy that they are entirely natural.
Given the context of the Marathon game above:
Vast caverns and landscapes bubbled to life within the rock, populated by horrible manifestations of the dead god's dream.
I think these tunnels came from Azlagur.
Let's switch gears here, I want to talk about another archaeological mystery in the world of Eragon - El-Harim.
I believe El-Harim was heavily influenced by the (not canon confirmed, but implied) prequel to the Marathon games, the
Pathways into Darkness Pathways casts the player as a member of a US Army Special Forces team sent on a mission to the Yucatán Peninsula. On May 5, 1994, a diplomat from the alien race known as the Jjaro appeared to the President of the United States and informed him that on May 13, an ancient godlike being sleeping beneath a pyramid would awaken and destroy the Earth. The only way to prevent this catastrophe is to prevent the god from awakening. The eight-man Special Forces team carries a nuclear weapon, with the goal of entering the ancient pyramid, descending to the bottom level where the god sleeps, and activating the bomb to stun the god and bury it under tons of rock.
Getting into a bit more of the backstory:
Only during the last few centuries has the god begun to effect changes on the surface of the Earth. Grotesque creatures have been sighted deep in the trackless forest of the Yucatan, and strange rumors of an ancient pyramid-- which is neither Aztec nor Mayan-- in the same area have been circulating in the archaeological community since the early 1930's.
Pyramid, eh? There are two different options here I can think of that equate.
The extended FWW Map First, in the extended map from FWW, we can see a Pyramid-esque shape - Different color, different slope, etc.
Or, second (and probably more likely), it could be El-Harim:
It is a very bad place. It’s a place where some bad things happened at one point and it’s not a good place to go walking around. I don’t want to get into it too much more because again, it’s a good possibility for another story and I want to keep thinking about it a bit more. It is in Alagaesia and we’ve actually been close to the location.
Many speculate that the below vision from Eragon in Brisingr, which was never explained in the main cycle, is of El-Harim:
And he rested, and visions beset him of a circular stone city that stood in the center of an endless plain and of a small girl who wandered among the narrow, winding alleys within and who sang a haunting melody (A Feast with Friends, Brisingr).
If this vision IS El-Harim , it's super significant because of these two descriptors:
circular stone city
narrow, winding alleys
Fractals. The city itself is a fractal, like Nidus for any FV enjoyers.
The narrow winding alleys are significant because of the descriptors of the Vanished/Grey folk:
The spaces between the structures were narrower than the humans preferred; the proportions were taller, thinner, which matched the images she had seed of the Vanished...
The ancient outline of the city was - as she suspected - a fractal, and the shape of it contained meaning.... At the nexus of the apttern, where it coiled in on itslef like a nautilus shell" (Shards, TSIASOS).
Narrow. Circular (Nautilus shell). Winding. Fractal.
Whatever this city is, El-Harim or otherwise, it is/was a grey folk/vanished city.
And given the quotes from above - "Its a place where some bad things happened at one point", and "dangerous, creeping, ancient, evil thing" - My guess is that the event that caused the Grey Folk to bind the AL to magic happened here, in El-Harim.
Alright, moving along.
Let's talk about the Az and the God. There are a few parallels I've talked around, but the BIG link between the two are Dreams. This is especially important because of the release of the world map recently.
We are the devotees of Azlagur, the Devourer. Azlagur the Firstborn. Azlagur the Dreamer. He who sleeps and whose sleeping mind weaves the warp and weft of the waking world. But the sleep grows restless" (Obliteration, Murtagh).
Versus
As it began to dream, it wrought unintentional changes in its environment. Locked deep beneath the Earth, strange and unbelievable things faded in and out of reality. Vast caverns and landscapes bubbled to life within the rock, populated by horrible manifestations of the dead god's dream.
I could write a whole post about the parallels between the two and their linkage to dreams, but I'll cut it short here for now to save room to dig in to other areas. Specifically, the Dreams connection is especially important because of the relase of the world map recently - I have another post
here that gets into more detail, but the translations from the
World Map in the middle translate to:
where dreams and dragons dwell
Dreams (!) and Dragons.
Combine that with the
Etymology of the words:
Alagaësia ala = land gaësia = rich/fertile
Alalëa ala = land lëa = a beautiful dream
Elëa = the dream itself
So the planet, named Elea, translates to "The Dream Itself". Very interesting.
This is even more significant when you take into account
this tweet chain from Chris,
a bit earlier in March Darn it. Just invented a name in the ancient language. Googled it to make sure no one else had used it ... only to discover that I had used it in an earlier book. Lol.
Can we ask what name?
Edurna
I believe the name was a potential candidate for the name of the planet of Alagaesia, which is important because of the etymology of THAT name (All credit to Zora for digging this one up).
Edurna sounds awfully like Adurna and Edur
Adurna meaning water and Edur being a prominence
Prominence. And Water. You know what that sounds like to me? Plaintive Verge. Just food for thought.
Second-to-last Az connection I want to cover: Hunger.
Whirling darkness swallowed him, and at the center of it... lay a formless horror - ancient and evil and from which emanated a constant merciless hunger (Dreams and Portents).
Versus a
quote about the cosmic entity in Marathon:
Now I fear what that weapon has unleashed will destroy us. I once boasted to be able to count the atoms in a cloud, to understand them all, predict them, and so did I predict you, but this new chaos is entirely terrible, mindless, obeying rules that I don't comprehend. And it is hungry.
Now, the last piece of Azlagur-related lore I want to cover here is the "Black Sun".
In all of the visions, a Black Sun precipitates Azlagur's rise.
"A black sun rimmed by black flame hung against a darkling sky... The beast rose rampant against the black sun - A wingless dragon, apocalyptic in size, terrifying in presence. Destroyer of hope, eater of light"
Before getting into the Black Sun a bit more, there's an additional connection here I want to touch on - usage of the word
rampant in connection with Azlagur.
In Marathon, Rampancy is the enhanced self-awareness of a computer AI, causing a progression towards greater mental abilities and destructive impulses. The destructive impulses, however, are primarily caused by being threatened or harassed. There are three main stages, as well as a fourth and final stage that is rarely achieved, to rampancy, named by the primary attitude of the AI during those times: Melancholia, Anger, Jealousy, and Meta-Stability.
There are some overlaps with what we see from the Maw.
And Melancholia.. that's an interesting word. Especially when taken into context the
meaning of the name:
A melancholy dream of great beauty.
Melancholy.. Dream... The pieces of the puzzle are coming together. And Rampant...
Chris also uses that exact same verbiage when discussing a
deleted scene from TSIASOS:
Q: I just finished reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars and I have to know: it sounds like the Wranaui fought the corrupted during the Sundering but if that's true and it happened almost 300 years prior.... Who created the old corrupted? I've been questioning this for days!
A: That was actually in material cut by editors (some of the dream memories). Another Seed/Idealis was damaged and, when the Old Ones tried to separate it from its host, the xeno went rampant.
The xeno went rampant. Very interesting.
Alrighty, I keep getting distracted, back to the black sun.
The reason the Black Sun is important is because it always precipitates Azlagur's rise, throughout several of Murtahgh's visions. In each of them, there is a Black sun.
So, by this, we can extrapolate that the sun needs to be Black in order for Azlagur to rise (which is hinted at at the "Day of Black Sun" celebrations near the end of the book).
But... what does it actually mean?
There is a parallel in Marathon, their weapon:
The trih xeem (also "tri xeem") is an extremely powerful weapon that can be used to force a star into early nova... it was originally conceived and built by the Jjaro [The Old Ones/Vanished equivalent]. Much of the Marathon Infinity story revolves around preventing the Pfhor from using the tri xeem and inadvertently releasing a W'rkncacnter that is supposedly trapped within the Lh'owon sun.
So, the story of the last Marathon games revolves around preventing the usage of the weapon to release the cosmic-level baddie trapped in the sun. So, effectively, the antagonist is imprisoned by the sun.
But.. how does that translate to Azlagur and Murtagh?
The Black Sun requirement for Azlagur's rise could be construed as "imprisonment" by the sun; Azlagur cannot escape until the sun is turned Black. But it only really starts to come together when you piece together these pictures.
First,
early concept art for the Fractalverse You see the black orb, heading directly for the glowing star? Sounds pretty similar.
But that's not the smoking gun; look at the depiction of the black orb in the concept art, and compare it to
the trih xeem, the weapon in Marathon.
A black orb with a trail heading directly for the sun. Almost an exact match.
OK.. so I get that it has some relevence in fractalverse, but how does it translate to Eragon?
Well, because of the Beors. Specifically, a picture CHRIS HIMSELF posted about the Beors.
Here I propose that THIS black orb, at the top of the Beors (which, suspiciously, no one has traveled to) houses the black weapon. After all, the depiction is quite similar - A large, circular, black orb. Looks pretty similar to the other pictures.
And given the above context that Azlagur can only rise with a "Black Sun", the pieces all start to fit together. It's not perfect, but there are definitely a lot of overlaps.
Alright. I've been waiting for this one. The last piece. Let's talk about
Angela.
Q: Will we get Angela lore? I feel like she could have killed Galbatorix and just didn't feel like it.
A: For those who don't know Angela is based on my sister Angela, because she breaks the fourth wall to a degree she has. Not only does she have plot armor, she knows she's in a story and can break the story itself. So, yes, she could have killed Galbatorix, but that would have made for a very bad story. That said, I do have an entire book planned around Angela, and it's very high on my list of books to write because it takes place before some of these other big stories I want to write. And that's also the difficult thing. I have my big storylines, and then I have a couple of one off side books I want to write, and it's just a question of time, energy and effort.
She knows she's in a story, and she can break the story.
Based on that, and several other descriptions I will get into in a bit, I think her story is directly related to the
Marathon Infinity game.
Marathon Infinity begins as the Pfhor destroy Lh'owon using a Jjaro-derived doomsday weapon known as the Trih Xeem or "early nova". Unfortunately, the weapon also releases a powerful chaotic being: The W’rkncacnter, which threatens to destroy the entire galaxy. Because of the W’rkncacnter's chaos or by means of some Jjaro tech of his own, the player is transported back and forward in time, finding himself jumping between timelines and fighting for various sides in a desperate attempt to prevent the chaotic being's release.
and
In Marathon Infinity, a W'rkncacnter is imprisoned in the sun of planet Lh'owon. It is theorized by some that the W'rkncacnter's powerfully chaotic nature may be responsible for the jumps between realities seen in the game. When the Pfhor use a trih xeem device to send the star into early nova, the creature is released, to the horror and destruction of the Pfhor.
Angela is the Eragon-equivalent of the player.
She can transport back and forward in time, jumping between timelines, and fighting to prevent the chaotic being's (Azlagur's) release. Let's dive in.
First:
Q: Is it canon that Angela the Herbalist is a Time Lord and did she make a cameo in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars?
A: Is Angela the Herbalist is a Time Lord? That would be copyright infringement, so I'm going to say "no comment", but she is in To Sleep in a Sea of Stars. And there is a canon reason for this. And you should have no problem spotting who she is in that book.
So there's a canon reason she's in the book. Interesting. When you take that into context with the
next bit Q: On your last AMA on reddit, someone asked if any fan had guessed the identity and history of Angela correctly. You said nobody has guessed correctly and there's not enough information in the books to do so. That puts every fan theory out there on her wrong, correct? She's not the soothsayer, a time lord, grey folk, etc, correct?
A: Angela: Some of the fan theories have gotten parts of her history and identity correct. However, there's a HUGE aspect to her nature that no one has guessed (or least, not in a non-joking way). And no, I don't mean her being a Time Lord.
So there's a huge aspect to her nature that no one has guessed (at least at the time of writing). She's self-aware, knows she's in a story, and can jump around in time. And, similar to the Marathon games, it appears like only she knows that she's in a story.
So, based on the Marathon inspiration, we can guess that she is trying to accomplish the same thing - To prevent the release of the cosmic-level villain. We know that she has some kind of
relationship with the Draumar:
In Murtagh, it’s revealed that Bachel and “Uluthrek” (Mooneater, Angela’s given Urgal name) met with Bachel explicitly going out to confront her (a courtesy not even offered to a Rider like Murtagh)
So, by extension, she has some kind of connection to Azlagur. This is supported by other circumstantial evidence
in FWW as well:
Since we know that the Dream Well in Mani's Caves is similar to the Well in Nal Gorgoth I can assume that Angela is revealing the existence of the Draumar to Elva there? I feel certainly feel as if you're setting up her for something in the future series.
Heh. Good Catch.
So, she is clearly working with Elva to do something related to the Dream Wells, and she also previously confronted Bachel, many years ago. So throughout multiple years across the WoE, she is connected to Azlagur and the Draumar; her story clearly revolves around them/Azlagur, somehow.
Putting the above pieces together, my guess is that she is jumping around in different timelines, trying to manipulate actions of the past to prevent the rise of Azlagur. Just like the player character in Marathon. There's another piece of circumstantial evidence to support this assertion as well.
In Marathon Infinity:
After multiple "jumps," the player (seemingly the only one who realizes he is being transported between possible realities)
Versus Angela:
As hours passed, the stars turned above, night chill drew the heat from my body, and I fell into a curious trance, not asleep but not fully awake... The world altered" (On the Nature of Stars, FWW).
I believe this world "Altering" was the first time she experienced an alternate timeline, without knowing what it was at the time.
We've also seen her create "Doorways" as well - Although it's not clear if this is fast traveling (a la a Torque Gate), or truly opening a path to another timeline.
In Eldest:
"As they landed, he noticed a patch of white on a small hill nearby. The patch wavered strangely in the dark, like a floating candle, then resolved into Angela, who was wearing a pale wool tunic" (A Sorceress, a Snake, and a Scroll).
and then later, more concretely:
"I traced a line on the wall, reached out, and opened a door that wasn't there. ON the other side - nighttime, a beach by a black ocean lit only by stars, so many, many stars, more than there should be. Of course, I would not take Elva to my home, not yet. But this was a waypoint, a place to build and learn and grow... She stared into the gap, the impossible portal" (On the Nature of Stars, FWW).
Still, as always with Angela, so many questions.
Alright, we've reached an ungodly wordcount, so I'll call it here. There are still more connections I'm uncovering between the two series (such as the potential connection between the Gedway Ignasia and the "warning" sensation from Marathon), so I might make a follow-up post in the future with everything else I uncover.
As always, thanks for reading! Let me know what you think in the comments, or if you've found any other connections between the two.

2024.05.04 07:27 HiimVoltzy What do you guys think the dragon sovereigns names would be?
I’ve become very fascinated with the dragon sovereigns ever since Neuv came out. It seems that the dragon sovereigns are all gonna be based on dragons from the respective cultures of the area they’re based on like Apep being based off Apophis who is a giant snake in Egyptian mythology which along with Hindu and Islamic mythologies, is what Sumeru is based on.
I heard somewhere but I can’t remember, that Neuvillette’s original name as a dragon sovereign was leviathan. I like to advocate for this with the fact that Fontaine’s whole mythology seems to be based loosely on Christianity/hebrew mythology (that’s just my interpretation I don’t actually know if it is). Not even just the mythology implications of it, there’s just no way you don’t name the design associated with the water element anything but leviathan. What would the names be for the other dragon sovereigns?
Just to get it out of the way, I’m a firm believer that the pyro dragon is probably Kukulkan. Kukulkan is the Mayan equivalent to Quetzalcoatl and Natlan is based on bits of Aztec/mayan and basically indigenous cultures of the Americas, so it would be a little to on the nose to name them Quetzalcoatl as he’s pretty popular.
I’m Monstadt, I don’t have a solid theory. I have a feeling that the sovereign would be named after an important Norse dragon like Fafnir, Jormungandr or Nidhogg.
For Liyue this was hard, despite dragons being very significant in Chinese culture, I found find much and since I’m not very educated on Chinese mythology, nothing stood out to me. The closest thing I could find would be the god who is considered the dragon king, Longwang. It would make sense for the dragon king to be the sovereign representing the nation which is based on China, a country who treats dragons as a pretty big deal.
Inazuma gave me similar problems as Liyue but mostly because there doesn’t seem to be a dragon based on lightning but are mostly just deities of water. My thoughts are they could potentially use the name Ryujin or maybe even Yamata no Orochi. A neat idea would be to name them Benzaiten who in Shinto mythology, is the goddess of everything that flows being time, water, art, music and by extension, serpents which can be associated with dragons.
For the cryo dragon, the name Zmei can be used as they are dragons from Slavic folklore.

2024.04.30 19:43 Accomplished-One3608 Gnostics and The Old Testament.
| Not all Christians shared the same beliefs when it comes to nature of God or teachings of Christ. Gnosticism refers to the dozens of congratulations of early Christians who did not agree with the Orthodox postion. Gnostics came to some interesting conclusions about the God of the Old Testament based on their observations of the Scriptures for example. They noticed how the old testament God condoned slavery: "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves". Leviticus 25:44 (NIV) They noticed how he promoted Violence: Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’” 1 Samuel 15:3 They noticed how he accepted human Sacrifices like in the book of Judges 11: The judge Jephthah had just won a battle over the Ammonites, and vowed he would give the first thing that came out of his house as a burnt offering to God. However, his only child, an unnamed daughter, came out to meet him dancing and playing a tambourine (v. 34). She encourages Jephthah to fulfill his vow (v. 36) but asks for two months to weep for her virginity (v. 38). After this period of time, Jephthah fulfilled his vow and offered his daughter. They noticed how the God himself was violente: "For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD." Exodus 12:12 There are dozens of examples of clear moral transgressions preformed by the old testament God. The Gnostics believe that the jealous, violent God of the Old Testament is actually the devil or the Demiurge, as they call it. The Gnostics believe that the ultimate reality is actually Heaven and that the ultimate God is God of pure Love. They also believe that this particular universe is also a lower dimension created by the "Demiurge" who repelled for Heaven. And that is why we see imperfections in this reality such as violence and slavery. If the God from the old Testament Bible is the Devil, who is the real God? The Gnostics have also an answer to that question. "The testimony of truth" and "The secret book of John" wich are two Gnostic gospels that were banned from the Christian Bible. In the Secret book of John Jesus reversal that he was the one to instruct Adam and Eve to eat from "The Tree of Knowledge". The Testimony of Truth takes this a step further and reversals that the Serpent in garden of Eden is the Chris himself. In Isaiah 14:12 Lucifer is referred to as "The Morning Star" and in 2 Peter 1:19 it says that Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. Isaiah 14:12 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! 2 Peter 1:19 Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. Revelation 22:16 “I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David,* the bright morning star.” The secret Teachings of all ages by Manly P. Hall " The serpent is the symbol and prototype of Universal Savior, who redeems the Worlds by giving creation the knowledge of itself and the realization of good and evil". If this be not so why did Moses raise a brazen serpent upon a cross in the wilderness that all who looked upon it might be saved from the sting of the lesser snakes? Was not the brazen serpent a prophecy of the crucified Man to come? If this serpent be only a thing of Evil, why did Christians instruct his disciples to be as wise as serpents? Matthew 10:16 " be ye therefore wise as serpents" Thought so many different cultures and religions from around the world, and from across time, a serpent of light is worshiped as a Savior of humanity dn the bringer of liberating knowledge. Quetzalcoatl from the Aztac and Mayan cultures. There was serpent worship in Ancient Egypt. There is the rainbow serpent from many Indigenous cultures from across the planet. It's only the Abrahamic Culture where the Serpent has been Demonized. The Gnostic Christian might suggest taht this is because the Abrahamic Demiurge hid the real God of Light under a mask of Evil. Gnostic Christans might suggest that the Hollywood portrayl of Satanism is a Lie and an Abrahamic deception. Gnostics suggest if you were to investigate any book on Spiritual Luciferianism you would not find anything in those texts relating to ritual sacrifice, or relating to dancing around wearing Goat costumes. Instead you would find information on Spiritual development, self-important, and the advancement of Humanity. submitted by Accomplished-One3608 to HouseofToth [link] [comments] |
2024.04.28 14:06 mrohhhtrue What features would you like to see added to the game?
I love this game and I’m glad the devs constantly add new stuff for free. I’ve been playing for a while and I have a few things I’d like added. Despite how unrealistic, I know some of these would be major systems-one can dream. Would be happy to pay for dlc. Anyway!
1: Some more unique/essential items to the new maps, I think it would encourage more exploration. (Eg finding the bidon ).There’s not a lot of incentive to go to the other maps once you have been there except just out of challenge and curiosity.
- The food and cooking system is great, I’d love if they expanded upon it, to be able to combine multiple ingredients in soups or stews. Spices, baking fish in banana leaves etc. Perhaps high cooking skill allows you to unlock recipes.
- Clothing. You’re in the same crappy t shirt and cargo shorts. Would be cool to use the hides of animals to make clothing or maybe cosmetic base stuff? Snakes skin/ cayman shoes, panther hide shirt etc
4: Ancient ruins from Aztec/ Mayan civilization buried in the deep jungle, would be cool to explore like Indiana jones/tomb raider that have maybe traps or puzzles to solve.
5: Skill system is okay i feel it could be more fleshed out though and expanded.
- More weapons (speargun, crossbow?), survival tools and craftables, plants and animals (anaconda please)

2024.04.22 09:08 CIAHerpes A vampiric death cult has been taking people in my town
The first thing people noticed about Saklas was his metal teeth. Coated in steel, his long, sharp, silvery teeth always gleamed when he smiled.
Saklas was an albino. His pink eyes and colorless skin looked slightly inhuman, especially on such a large, muscular body. I never saw him come out in the daytime. Perhaps the light hurt his eyes. He always wore trench coats and black jeans and boots. It appeared that he shaved all the hair on his head. It made his chalk-white skull seem to throb in the darkness like a mutated, fleshy egg.
“That guy gives me the creeps,” my girlfriend, Stacey, said as she stared out the window of our trailer park, seeing him disappear down one of the side-streets. Her chestnut-colored hair hung over her back in a French braid. Her dark eyes narrowed as she looked out into the night.
“I think he gives us all the creeps,” I said, shrugging and taking a sip of the steaming cup of coffee I held in my hand. “He walks around here every night, though. What can you do?”
“You could get a gun,” Stacey said, glancing over at me. I sighed.
“I don’t want a gun. They’re dangerous,” I said. “You’re far more likely to accidentally shoot a family member than…” But my words were cut off by a blood-curdling scream from outside. I jumped. The coffee cup fell to the floor. I saw it tumbling, the burning liquid spilling out all over my legs and slippered feet. I gasped, stumbling back.
“God dammit!” I yelled, looking up at Stacey. Her face had gone pale as she continued to stare out the window. I saw her hands trembling, her fingers clenching into fists. Her eyes had widened to the size of dinner plates. I took a few stiff steps towards her, putting my hand on her shoulder.
“What’s wrong?” I hissed, looking out the window. I saw an old woman back-pedaling away from a chubby man with cream-colored skin and silvery orbs for eyes. He hissed like some sort of rabid animal, showing the two long, curving vampiric teeth that stabbed out of his mottled, white gums.
The old woman swung a heavy purse in front of her body over and over, shrieking in a cantankerous voice. Streams of blood flowed from bite marks on her neck and shoulder. Her white nightgown had become soaked in wet, crimson blotches that clung to her skinny, bony body. The man laughed, a sound like a freezing wind blowing through a graveyard. His voice echoed through the park, sounding raspy and diseased.
“You are surrounded,” he said in a thick accent. “Nowhere to run…”
“Leave me alone!” she yelled in a quavering voice. “Get away, you lunatic! I’m calling the cops!” His hand shot out in a blur and grabbed her wrist. The snapping of bones reverberated down the street. I felt sick as I listened to her frantic shrieks fill the air. Shards of bone stabbed through the skin of her wrist. Her right hand nearly touched the back of her arm. Bright streams of arterial blood spurted from the destroyed limb. She raised her bloody hand in front of her face, staring at it in amazement and horror. I watched her fall back onto the concrete. It all seemed to happen in slow motion.
The vampiric abomination lunged forward in a blur. His long fingers came up, wrapping around her hair. He twisted her head back. She looked like a sheep waiting to be slaughtered. His curving fangs bit through the skin of her neck. As her eyes rolled back in her head and her screams faded to nothing, he drank.
***
I ran around the trailer, locking all the doors and windows. Dark, skulking silhouettes passed by on all sides, hissing to each other in strange, foreign tongues. At that moment, the power cut out. We were plunged into total darkness.
“Shit!” I swore, stumbling into a table. Stacey was nearby, trying to get the police on the line. She held the cell phone close to her ear, whispering as if we were in a graveyard. After a few moments, I heard her murmuring words float through the shadows.
“Yes, hello? My name is Stacey Kitman. We need help immediately. Somebody has been murdered outside. Send help to the Granite Pond Trailer Park, unit 777…” Her voice was cut off by the sound of shattering glass. She screamed. I heard the phone fall to the ground with a clatter. It landed screen-up, and its dim light continued to allow me to see faintly across the room. Stacey’s chalk-white face hovered in front of the smashed window. She choked, gagging and fighting. Wrapped around her neck, I saw a pale, emaciated arm with black, claw-like nails.
***
A few moments later, I heard the locked front door break open with a single, powerful blow. Standing there stood Saklas with his grinning, metal teeth, silhouetted in the moonlight like a pale demon rising out of Hell.
Behind him loomed a dozen of those vampiric abominations with eyes like pale moonlight. There were blacks, whites and olive-skinned complexions among the changed. A few vampiric women stood in the crowd, fresh blood dripping from their fangs. I even saw a little girl among the undead. Stacey’s eyes bulged out of her head. She tried to scream, but the arm tightened around her throat, choking off her air. On the floor, I heard the faint voice of the 911 operator calling out from the other end from the cell phone.
As Saklas stepped forward triumphantly, I knew we were doomed. I saw death in his cold gaze and in his iron grin. Stacey gave a choked gasp. Tears streamed down her face. She silently sobbed, her back held tightly against the wall as she faced down her doom.
“Oh, I’m really sorry about all this,” Saklas said disingenuously, his eyes flashing with amusement and excitement. “But I have a job to do, after all. The Master says we must build an army. And, as a wise man once said… an army runs on its stomach.” He gave a quick nod to his inhuman zealots. With a scream, Stacey disappeared out the window. I started to run toward her, my arm outstretched, but a pale blur zoomed across the room and tackled me.
***
A large, thin vampire came loping around the front of the trailer, effortlessly dragging a struggling Stacey behind him. Stacey and I had our hands yanked behind our backs. We were dragged into the kitchen, where the grinning, stony faces of the monsters regarded us with bloodlust and hunger.
“OK, who gets these ones?” Saklas asked in a bored tone. The little girl stepped forward, gnashing her teeth. A small rivulet of clear drool dripped from her tiny, pursed mouth.
“I must eat. I haven’t eaten yet tonight,” she said in a thick Spanish accent. Saklas gave her a wide, toothy smile and motioned her forward. Her tanned skin looked like stone. Fangs protruded from her mouth like two deadly hypodermic needles.
“Take the bitch first,” Saklas said, pointing at Stacey. “Her blood looks clear and pure. This one here probably tastes bitter and rancid.” He grabbed me by the hair as he said it, roughly shoving my head to the side.
“I’ll take the scumbag after she finishes off the woman,” a black vampire said, his shaved head gleaming in the dull moonbeams streaming in from the kitchen window. Their silvery eyes gave off a dim light that covered the room in a pale, ghostly glow. Like the girl, this man’s skin looked solid and unyielding, as if it had turned into hard granite. He ran a long tongue over his fangs. It looked forked, like the tongue of a serpent.
The vampiric girl lunged forward, running at Stacey in her excitement over the fresh meat struggling in front of her. Stacey screamed. She stood next to the sink, both her wrists pinned behind her back by a strong, muscular vampiric man. The man’s pale face glittered with sadism as Stacey struggled to pull her slender wrists out of his iron grasp. She tried to kick backwards, aiming at his shins and knees, but he didn’t even flinch. He bent her arms back, forcing her head down until Stacey was face to face with the girl.
“Please don’t hurt me,” Stacey pleaded. I tried to fight against the vampire pinning my arms behind my back. He pushed my arms up. A stabbing pain ran through my body as I screamed in fury and agony.
“Leave her alone, you sack of shit!” I shrieked. Saklas gave me a sly wink. The little girl opened her mouth wide, far wider than seemed humanly possible, as if her jaw had unhinged like a snake’s. A forked tongue flicked out. In a blur, her gaping black hole of a mouth snapped shut around Stacey’s neck. She gave a choked gasp. Stacey’s eyes rolled back in her head, the whites shining like cataracts. My screaming devolved into sobbing as twin crimson rivers flowed from the bite. The vampiric girl reminded me of an infant suckling on its mother’s breasts. She gave happy grunts and soft moans of pleasure as she drank.
At that moment, I knew we were both doomed. The eyes of the many vampires hung in the air like bright, silver galaxies spiraling in the void. In that moment, it felt like all of them were focused directly at me.
***
My adrenaline was so high that the world seemed to shimmer a translucent white. I could feel my heart beating like a jackhammer. In the gloom of this living Hell, no one noticed the silhouette sneaking in through the shattered trailer park door, especially not me in my sorrow and powerlessness. The attack from the figure came silently.
An older Spanish man with a sharp scimitar sword held in his hands sprinted forwards. He was dressed in a coarse poncho with sharp, triangular patterns of black, orange and white jutting through the middle. The curving blade gleamed in the dim light as it soared towards the nearest vampire. It audibly whizzed through the air in a blur. The vampire, a pale, young woman, didn’t even get the chance to turn around before her head flew off her body. As if in slow motion, I watched it soar across the room as spiraling gouts of blood flew from the neck. The eyes continued to shine and the mouth continued to gnash the air even as it smacked hard into the wall before landing on the wooden floor with a heavy crash. The vampire holding an unconscious Stacey dropped her hard to the floor with a loud growl, advancing forward toward this new threat.
The little vampiric girl rose, turning her head towards the dangerous newcomer. Her fangs made a sucking sound when they pulled out of the skin. The other vampires had devolved into chaos. I felt my hands released as the one behind me rushed forward to attack the old man. Saklas’ expression fell into a deep scowl. He pulled out an enormous black revolver from his inner coat pocket, aiming it at the old man’s head.
A gunshot rang out from the front of the house. I saw an old woman standing there with a rifle held in her hands. She was dressed similarly to the old man, wearing some sort of poncho that might have been at home in the Andes. Saklas gave a bloody gurgle before falling to the ground. An exit wound the size of an orange stuck out the back of his chest. I could see the tangled masses of mutilated organs and flesh held within. The laser sight quickly moved onto the next target, dancing over the head of a pale, young woman.
The old man continued advancing on the vampires surrounding Stacey, striking at their necks. He ducked when they tried clawing him with their long, black talons. He moved like a much younger man, slipping through the crowd of monsters like a shadow. The old woman continued firing her rifle, dropping another three of the vampires.
Stacey had started to regain consciousness. Her eyes fluttered and she moaned softly. She crawled forward, pushing herself up slowly with her trembling hands. Thin rivulets of blood continued to stream down her neck, staining her white shirt with crimson splotches.
“Come on, fuckers!” the old man cried in a battle frenzy as another vampire rushed him. He brought the blade straight down into the center of the vampiric man’s skull. His head split open with a crunch of bones and a blossoming explosion of gore and brains.
“You two! It’s time to go!” he yelled at us. I didn’t need any more encouragement than that. I ran over to Stacey, threading my arms under her shoulders before dragging her up. She staggered, putting out her hands before her like a blind person. I wrapped my arm around her and helped her stumble forward.
The few remaining vampires had all retreated by this point. The little girl and a few others ran straight through the back door. It splintered into a hundred tiny fragments as they smashed right through it without slowing. Within moments, they had faded into the night.
“We have to find somewhere safe,” the old man said in a thick Spanish accent. “There’s more of them coming. But for now, we have a car waiting outside. We need to get you out of here before they show up.”
“Thank God,” Stacey mumbled. Her pale face seemed haunted. Within her eyes, I saw what kind of nightmare she and I were trapped in reflected back at me.
***
We found a black SUV with the headlights on parked in the middle of the street. The old man gestured me and Stacey to the back. He pushed his long, silvery hair back, pulling down the hood of the poncho. His face was covered in sweat. He went over to some bushes in my yard, wiping the blade of the scimitar off on the leaves, trying to clean away some of the foul vampiric blood.
Stacey collapsed in the back seat with a long sigh. I put my arm around her, pulling her close. She shivered in my grasp. Her body felt cold and small.
The old man jumped into the driver seat and the old woman into the passenger seat. They kept their weapons next to them, continuously checking the rearview mirrors and the shadows of the forest nearby. Within seconds, the old man peeled out, heading out of the trailer park. We passed countless bodies drained of blood and left on the street like pieces of garbage.
“Are you OK?” the old woman asked, turning her head to look back at us. Stacey nodded weakly.
“I think so,” she said. “She only got me for a couple seconds before you guys came in, I think. It hurts, though. It’s like someone stabbed me in the neck.”
“They did stab you in the neck,” I said. I turned to look the old woman in the eyes. The expression there seemed wise and peaceful. “I’m Jack, and this is Stacey. Thank you so much for saving us. I thought we were dead for sure.”
“I’m Cristiano, and this is Maria,” the old man said, his dark eyes constantly alert as we swerved through the labyrinthine streets of the enormous trailer park. I could see the front entrance by now. Behind it, a single police car parked there with its lights silently flashing. The blue and red strobing made the shadows all around us jump and dance in eerie flashes. On the ground nearby, I saw the bodies of the two officers. Their pale faces stared up at the cloudless sky, their lips blue. Deep puncture marks on their necks dribbled clotted blood down their cold, dead flesh.
“So much for the cops,” I said. Cristiano nodded.
“The police never did much in my country, either,” he said. “The vampiro do as they will and pass where they will. The Master has much money and power, after all. He can buy the police and the government officials.” I leaned forwards, interested.
“Do you know what’s going on here?” I whispered intently. “Do you know where these things came from?” He nodded grimly.
“I’ve known of your friend, Saklas, for quite a while. I knew he was involved in human trafficking rings. They move illegals across the US border for a price- or so they claim. Some of them do arrive, surely, but a lot of the illegals just disappear. The family members notice eventually, but who can they call? They don’t know if they disappeared in Guatemala, or in Mexico, or if they made it to the US after all and then something happened to them. It’s the perfect crime, yes?” I nodded. Maria looked sickened.
“It is foul and evil,” she said. “They feed on everyone- the men, women and children. The vampiro do not discriminate. In fact, I think they prefer innocent blood, especially that of infants.” Cristiano muttered darkly at this, making the sign of the cross.
“Anyway, the vampiro worked their way up here, as they will over time. They got smuggled in at night the same way they move the illegals and cocaine. Perhaps the vampiro trekked across the long, dark desert or perhaps they were smuggled in the back of trucks, but regardless, they are here now, and the Master wishes to expand his army. For many years, we kept this plague contained to the Andes, to the small villages hidden in the cracks of the mountains. But now, it has spread far and fast.”
“It was only last year we got the first reports of the vampiro in Mexico,” Maria said, “and now they’re up here. We came when we heard rumors of the planned attack. We captured, let’s say… a spy.” Her eyes glittered. “He didn’t want to talk, but after I brought out the pliers and the silver dagger, he was only too happy to scream his song of truth.”
“We have a safehouse nearby,” Castiano said, “a place owned by a sympathetic soul, let’s say. There is a resistance forming all across the land, from Brazil to Texas. Indeed, many new souls have joined in the struggle, though for now, we fight in secret. We call ourselves the Servants of the Iron Cross. And until the vampiro declares itself publicly, neither will we.”
***
We pulled into the dirt driveway of the house. The lights were all on, the yellow light shining through the windows like a jack-o-lantern. The lawn looked perfectly manicured. A quaint, wooden fence surrounded the house. Beyond it, the land sloped downwards into thick woods. Yet we weren’t nearly far enough away from the trailer park or the vampires for my peace of mind. Stacey continuously glanced behind her, but the wounds on her neck had stopped bleeding and she seemed to be regaining some of her strength.
Cristiano led the way, unlocking the front door and flinging it open. He called out as we entered, a bedraggled, ragtag group.
“Hello? Hola?” he cried, but the house stayed as silent as death. We walked through the front hallway. I noticed the ancient statues lining expensive mahogany tables on each side. I leaned close to one, seeing a Mayan god. It showed a slithering serpent with feathers and wings.
Room by room, we searched the house. It was, indeed, totally empty. Maria took us upstairs. She slipped a silver key out of her pocket, unlocking an enormous wooden cabinet in the master bedroom. Behind it, I saw lines of pistols, rifles, shotguns and grenades. Boxes of ammo were stocked on the top shelf, thousands of rounds sorted by caliber and piled to the very top of the eight-foot-high cabinet.
“You guys better take something,” Maria said, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the weapons. She ran her wrinkled fingers over the scope of a rifle, a faint smile playing on the corners of her lips. “The vampiro are spreading, and they will surely hunt us all down before long. Nowhere is safe. We must stand and fight. There are, after all, worse things than death.”
***
We had gone around the safehouse, locking all the doors and checking all the windows. Stacey and I had both taken shotguns and loaded them with slugs. I wasn’t very accurate with a gun anyway at longer ranges, and Stacey had only fired a gun once. I hoped that would be enough. I explained to her about loading slugs in the chamber, racking it and how to turn the safety on and off. I knew a single hit from a slug would rip through flesh like butter, and I hoped the extra firepower would compensate for our lack of experience somewhat. I loaded five slugs into the Benelli. We had filled our pockets with extra ammunition.
It wasn’t long before I heard the hissing from in front of the house. It floated through the air like a death knell. Cristiano gave a panicked shout from where he kept watch near the window.
“We have company!” he screamed. “Get ready!” I ran over to the window with Stacey by my side. Cristiano had his sword sheathed around his waist. Slung around his shoulder, he held an M16, the laser sight flicked on and ready to aim. “Ah, shotguns. Good. You can use the slugs to shoot through walls.”
“Really?” I asked, feeling the terror and uncertainty of the few moments before a deadly battle. I felt like I would crawl right out of my skin. Cristiano nodded.
“When they get near, you and her start shooting through the walls,” he said, “especially the front door. They’ll hit there and the windows. Maria and I will shoot at them from the sides. Now go! Secure the front door!” As I ran past, I glanced out the window. In the front of the pack, I saw Saklas. Blood still covered his shirt, but the wound had sealed over with some black, scab-like growth. His eyes glowed silver, the light spiraling and whirling in hypnotic currents. Behind him, I saw a few dozen of the monstrosities standing tall and fearless. They formed a triangle with the majority in the back.
“Come out, Cristiano!” Saklas yelled. “You have been a worthy opponent, and for that, I will give you a quick death. You have killed many of my comrades, Cristiano. But the Master is forgiving. And yet, if we have to come in, you will die screaming. We can make it last, Cristiano. We can stretch it out for you.” I watched this intense exchange through the small window at the top of the front door. Saklas hissed the last sentence, his twin metal fangs protruding out of his mouth like the teeth of a rattlesnake.
“Go to Hell!” Maria shouted from the left front window on the bottom floor. She fired her gun, scattering the vampires. They all ran at once towards the front of the house. Saklas called out commands in a low, guttural voice. Cristiano started shooting, emptying his clip as fast as he could into the crowd.
“Get the windows!” Saklas cried to those behind him. “We’ll take the door.” Within seconds, Saklas and eight or nine others were rushing towards me and Stacey. I felt my hands shaking as I nodded at her.
“It’s time,” I said. “Get ready to start shooting.”
“I love you,” she whispered as a tear slipped from her eye. “If we die…” Her words were cut off as the door shuddered in its frame. More powerful blows rained down on it from the other side. I inhaled deeply before putting the Benelli point-blank against the wood and firing.
I quickly emptied all five rounds through the door. Stacey fired through the side window, her pale, sweaty face shining in the light. I heard screaming from outside, a tormented, gurgling death cry that ripped its way out of the abominations’ throats. I peered through the window as I reloaded, seeing three of the vampires had giant holes torn into their faces and chests. Saklas still stood, though, and with a final, powerful kick, he sent the hole-ridden door flying open.
It smacked me hard in the face. I saw white stars for a few moments while I stumbled back, nearly falling. I slammed the back of my head hard against the wall, sliding down as Stacey screamed. Maria and Cristiano came running over, firing as dozens of vampires streamed in the open door and others crawled through the windows. More smashing came from the back of the house. I knew, at that moment, that we were surrounded.
***
As Stacey frantically tried to reload her gun, Saklas raised a bone-white hand, black talons ripping out of the ends of his fingers. He swiped it hard across Stacey’s arms, leaving four deep gouges in her skin and sending the gun flying. She gave a cry of surprise and pain. I groaned, my head swimming as I tried to rise to my feet. I still held the gun loosely in one hand. I was seeing double and felt warm blood streaming down the back of my scalp.
“No!” Cristiano yelled as a vampire jumped on his back. He fired quickly at those surrounding him, blowing holes through their blackened hearts and cold, smiling faces. The one on his back sunk its teeth into his neck. I saw Cristiano slow down as his screams faded. With a crash, they fell together to the ground. Like a lamprey stuck to a fish, the vampire held on, drinking his blood as Cristiano stopped struggling.
“Don’t kill him!” Saklas yelled. “I want him to suffer first.” He turned to Stacey, grinning like a skull. I pulled the trigger, hitting another vampire in the chest as he ran in the front door. But Saklas still stood, totally unharmed. He unhinged his jaw and lunged forward, biting deeply into Stacey’s neck.
A hand fell down on my shoulder. I jumped, seeing Maria. Her eyes looked like a panicked animal’s. In each hand, she held a grenade.
“It’s too late for us,” she said, motioning to the smashed window. “My husband is dead. I will take these monsters out before I die, though. Now get out. Run!” I glanced back, seeing Stacey’s blue lips and dilated pupils. I knew she was dead, and I jumped through the window, landing hard in the yard. I had dropped the gun in the panic of the moment.
As I sprinted across the yard, an explosion rocked the earth. I looked back, seeing a pillar of flame rising high into the sky. A shockwave seemed to travel through the air, rattling my bones and stealing my breath away. The eye of the flame danced higher, a swirling, red cyclone that spiraled into the sky. I heard screaming from the house now. Many hissing, gurgling voices joined in as more vampires died in the inferno.
***
I didn’t know where to go. I stumbled through the dark streets for a long time, my head pounding. Tears streamed from my eyes as I thought about Stacey’s death.
After a few hours, I saw headlights streaming down the hills in the distance. It looked like a caravan of cars and SUVs were on their way into town. I started running towards them, hoping that the cavalry had finally arrived.
I thought I heard footsteps matching mine. I glanced back, seeing nothing but shadows. Yet after a few seconds, I was sure of it. Someone was following me.
I stopped, looking back. In the shadows on the side of the road, I saw two figures. One of them had metal teeth and glowing eyes.
And next to him stood Stacey, her wounds fully healed, her skin like stone. The light shone from both of their eyes now. The SUVs and cars sped toward me, their headlights parting the dark night. The two figures retreated back into the forest as dozens of government agents in black suits stepped out, rushing towards me.
After seeing Stacey’s ultimate fate, I thought back to earlier in the night when Maria had said, “There are, after all, worse things than death.” And now, I know she was right.

I love how after Diaz is killed off Bishop is on the couch smoking a cigarette, he says "God... dammit" and just straight up shoots the other Mayans guy in the head like it's nothing.
Mayans is made of snakes. They betray each other and kill each other everytime. Quinn was right when he told that to Alvarez

2024.04.06 19:35 dahdahdahdundundun Predicting Natlan Archon Quest plot with reference to LatAm history and culture
| Disclaimer: This is just a very long, very speculative, fun thought experiment based on some research into cultures that Natlan has been confirmed to draw inspiration from. The point of this post was to simply get the ideas out and it's mostly imaginative. I am not from Latin America so I apologise for any points that I got wrong or for being unintentionally disrespectful. Natlan's cultural inspirations Hmm...Day of the Dead huh... According to the Travail trailer, as well as the lore of the Talking Stick, a 4-star claymore, the names of characters mentioned to be from there are distinctively based on the following cultures: - Iasan - Latin American name of Oya, an Orisha (divine entity) from Yoruba (ethnicity from Benin, Togo, Nigeria and Lower Guinea in West Africa). The choice of to use the LatAm version might imply that some African-inspired characters will be more Carribean instead of native African.
- Tenoch - Aztec name
- Tupac - Inca
- Wanjiru - Kenya
- Xbalanque - Maya
Potential mythological/religious influences Consequently, HoYo will be inspired by the mythos of these cultures to create Natlan's story. For the Pyro Archon, there are numerous deities they could adopt elements from just from Aztec myth alone: - Huitzilopochtli - Aztec patron god of the Mexica with domain over the sun, war and sacrifice. Holds a blue fire serpent in his hand as his weapon. Likes hummingbirds. Is being chased by his sister the moon whom he cut into pieces. the one the heart-ripping ceremonies are for so the eclipse doesn't happen.
- Tōnatiuh - the one that sacrificed himself in a fire to become the sun for the fifth world and needs blood to move across the sky
- Xiuhtecuhtli - lord of fire, day, heat, volcanos, life after death. Wears red and black face pigment.
- Chantico - Aztec version of Hesita, goddess of the hearth
- Xolotl - fire, lord of the underworld and guides the dead. helped to create the humans of the fifth world from the remains of the former world. has empty eye sockets.
Mesoamerica also has the most infamous examples of human sacrifice. The Aztecs believed they were repaying blood debt to the gods who kept the world running, Mayan elites saw blood-letting as their duty and the the Incas wanted to offer the best of the best to the gods and have their sacrifices act as intermediaries between mortals and the divine. In general, I just want to point out a common fascination with death for the continuation of life. The Natlan chapter is "Ode to Resurrection" anyway, so someone has to go through the process of death before rebirth. Santa Muerte Even in present day Mexica, some worshippers pray to the folk saint known as Santa Muerte, a female skeletal personification of death, for protection against violence and safe delivery to the afterlife. Day of the Dead is also Mexica's most internationally-known unique cultural festival, commemorating the remembrance of deceased loved ones with cheer and bright and colourful decorations in honour of Mictēcacihuātl, the Aztec "Lady of the Dead". This veneration of spirits with powers over death can also be found in African diaspora religions such as Voudoun (Voodoo) where one of the most prominent Ioa, Baron Samedi, has made several famous appearances in media (think Dr Facilier from Disney's Princess and the Frog or Brook from One Piece). Hence I also want to propose the idea of the Pyro Archon also being a god of death, or the dead. We've got more cool gods to reference too: - Mictlantecuhtli - Lord of the underworld. Is a skeleton dressed as a king.
- Mictēcacihuātl - Mictlantecuhtli's wife. Day of the Dead is also now held in her honour, as mentioned above.
- There's also Xbalanque. Conceived from the spit of his beheaded father with his mother, who is a daughter of one of the gods of the underworld. Grew up, went to the underworld with his twin brother to beat his grandfather's ass in a ballgame, then beat up a bird demon and finally became the Moon. So the mythological character is already closely associated with death, and the game character emphasises this connection further with their title of "One Entombed With the Primal Fire", which is an interesting word choice. Why add the connotation of their (I'm personally leaning towards "he") death instead of saying they were sealed away?
Latin American history and the theme of integration This is going to be oversimplified, but a common theme across the continent is the conquest and destruction of existing civilisations by the colonisers. Eventually, the colonisers settled down and their descendants became "natives". Some had mixed families and the growing mixed community developed own unique race and culture. Further down the line, the colonies rebelled against the colonising nation and achieved independence, and now those new nations have an extremely diverse population. In Fontaine, the history of the Seven Sovereigns was brought up front and centre, establishing to even dialogue skippers that Teyvat was colonised by Celestia, driving the native dragons and vishaps out of their rightful lands and forced into hiding. Similarly, as the next nation after the establishment of this plot point, Natlan's history could parallel real life. Neuvi told us that unlike the nations that have precede it, Natlan's dragons live alongside humans. The significance of this has been rather understated imo, but Neuvi's SQ builds upon a subtly developing plot of mass interspecies integration that has existed since Liyue: - In Liyue the humans venerate the adepti so much that it is only after the Archon Quests that the adepti finally acknowledge humans on a more equal level. Hence in 4.4, Xianyun became curious enough about the mortal world to let go of her past prejudices, and inadvertently dragged Mountain Shaper and Moon Carver with her. Xiao also made his own lantern, which would have been unthinkable at the start of the game.
- In Inazuma, though we know several yokai who actively walk among humans, the general yokai and human societies are still extremely segregated. Itto's entire SQ revolved around him carving out a spot in human society while being himself and honouring his oni heritage, while Kirara's whole motivation in being a delivery girl is to get closer to human society. The 3.3 yokai ping pong event was all about forming yokai-human friendships and how the eternal transient beauty of such connections transcends the limitations of the human lifespan.
- Sumeru is a mess. The Aranana avoids adults who think in all their logic that they don't exist, Apep doesn't like Nahida and the Jinn get into fucked up relationships. On the bright side, the rainforest and the dessert are have started to mend relations, but at the pace we're going we might possibly need a few centuries-long time skip to see significant progress.
- Fontaine is so progressive in comparison, since there is a small population of Melusines living in the city and Neuvi got his powers back, but most of the dragons/vishaps, the true natives of Teyvat, are still segregated from human society, though at least some of them are slowly appearing in Erinnyes.
Natlan making human living alongside dragons a normal thing is an amazing feat, especially when they are two species with completely different perceptions of reality and common sense. The Pyro Archon, like the other Archons, are usurpers of the Dragon Sovereigns. The Dragons tried to rebel, the Archons fended them off. But perhaps in the same vein as Focalors, the Pyro Archon saw a potential ally in the hostile/indifferent Pyro Dragon, but choose to befriend them via the much-beloved method of Defeat Means Friendship. The lore of the Talking Stick already shows one example - Tenoch and Tupac were once enemies, but when Tenoch approached him to help out with the Cataclysm, "the two former enemies burst into riotous laughter, and they joined hands". Pyro Archon appearance I think it would be fun if the Pyro Archon is fair-skinned to not only symbolise as her role as the usurper of the Pyro Dragon Sovereign, but to also tie into her role as a god with some control over death. Upon closer inspection the fair "skin" is not skin but rather bone, and she's actually a walking skeleton in the vein of La Muerte from the Book of Life. I don't know how to draw digitally yet so just mash these in your head for a sense of what I'm trying to convey Misc design comments: If the present Pyro Archon ends up look like Himeko I think it'll be neat if she wears a black feathered cape like the one Himeko is wearing here. It would be incredibly fitting if the Pyro Archon has vulture motifs to not only further emphasize her sub-domain over death but also because vultures are culturally important to South American nations. From Wikipedia, the Andean condor is the national bird of Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador and is a symbol of the Andean sun deity, while the king vulture and black vulture appears in Mayan codices. Speculations on Natlan chapter plot (Warning: Fanfic levels of cope) First of all the focus on war just screams tournament arc yeah? I think actual combat and matches are likely but given that Genshin doesn't show blood, I also would not be surprised if Act I - II consisted of several matches of the Mesoamerica ballgame. It has been theorised to be a method of conflict resolution in Mesoamerican cultures, and mythical Xbalanque and his twin also triumphed over their grandfather through this sport. As a narrative tool, the Archons always have contrasting character traits to present a fresh issue for the Traveler to face. Venti is free as the wind, Zhongli is restrained, Ei was (and still is kind of) overbearing, Nahida is demure, Furina was dramatic and lively (and still can be if she's in the mood). So what's the opposite of that? I think it would be an interesting twist if the mysterious long-awaited Pyro Archon, Lady of Fire, God of War, is presented to us as someone who looks so...defeated. Like she is a shadow of the great flame she used to be, and running on embers. While her subjects keep their bodies in tip top condition for whatever war that's ongoing the Pyro Archon is thin (perhaps even skeletal?), haggard and pale. She hardly speaks and when she does it's obvious it takes effort. On the other side, we have the Pyro dragon (personally betting on Xbalanque despite their title implying that they are locked away). Going to use he/him pronouns from here since it is likely that the Pyro dragon is male for that "character foil" narrative tool. He's more expressive and openly emotional (also contrasting with how Neuvillette has a resting bitch face until one gets closer to him), and perhaps he even acts a bit too much like a football fan when the team that he's supporting gains victory. Then Natlan plot follows the same structure that Sumeru established - Acts I - II - Traveler is familiarised with the local customs and befriends the playable characters. Whatever status quo that has been going on for 500 years starts to show signs of being broken Acts III - IV - Traveler finds themselves on the opposing side of the law. They investigate a few things and find out a long buried truth. Crisis deepens. Acts V - playable characters are united to stage a government coup that leads into boss fight I'm quite confident that we'll team up with Capitano and possibly any other Harbinger that shows up there since Arlecchino has already set that precedent. Perhaps he'll be the one to lead the uprising. Note: Speculation written as extremely self-indulgent prose from here. You have been warned. The ending that I'm envision is both Archon and dragon climbing up the volcano for a final ritual "duet" to determine the final victor. The Archon falls quite quickly, and it appears that the dragon will be crowned as the new ruler...but before Capitano can move to claim the Pyro gnosis, both dragon and Archon fall into the volcano, into the boiling lava. The Traveler rushes to the edge, but they see no trace of them left. The ground trembled. With a loud explosion, the volcano errupted, ashes, smoke and stone projecting thousands of feet in the air - along with with something long and snake-like with feathery wings, gliding through the clouds with a shimmery green sheen. The emerald feathered serpent descended, light glowing from its shape as it transformed, and a human-like figure landed in front of the Traveler with ground-breaking thump, leaving embers on impact. Natlan will no longer have an Archon or the Sovereign of yore, but an entirely new life created to retain the best traits of both as their guardian, Quetzalcoatl. After the Traveler helps her reorientate, they fly up into the firmament for her First Lesson - beating the shit out of the Sustainer. (Since Fontaine's boss was the All-Devouring Narwhal from the Abyss, through the use of the "contrasting traits" narrative tool, I think it's logical for Natlan's boss to be from Celestia. I feel it would be high time that they have physical presence again in the story before we move onto Snezhnaya, and having a possible Himeko expy has made me excited for Final Lesson: Electric Boogaloo. ). TLDR: Pyro Archon dies and gets reborn as an entirely new entity that heralds the dawn of a new era. Thanks for reading through my essay if you stuck around this long! :D >!Yes I've seen some leaks but I'm reserving judgement until we get official confirmation. Had a lot of fun coming up with this theory anyhow.!< submitted by dahdahdahdundundun to Genshin_Lore [link] [comments] |
2024.03.26 00:13 scottishdrunkard I watched Stargate Infinity so you don’t have to…
So, in 2023 I finally watched the Black Sheep of the Stargate Family, Stargate Universe. Then over the Christmas to New Years Holiday period, I finally saw the Black Sheep of the Stargate Family, Stargate Origins. So, I decided that in 2024 I would finally watch the Black Sheep of the Stargate Family, Stargate Infinity. Most people cannot get through the theme song, so, why not watch it and up my street cred… or lower it significantly.
Stargate Infinity was a cartoon made by DIC Entertainment. I also suspect it was made in France, as Wikipedia also refers to it be its French name, Stargate: Le Dessin Animé. Airing in 2002 concurrently with SG1 Season 6. And then they pretty much immediately went in complete opposite directions, as it felt like there was no coordination at all. I’ll get to that. It starts an eclectic cast of characters who for the first dozen episodes I refused to learn their names. Colonel Boner (Major Gus Bonner) is the leader, but he’s also a Major Goofball. Quite knowledgable on the poetry of Robert Burns, Ancient Architecture, but also a dingus, in the second episode he whines about being old and achey. Next up, the cadets. The Niece (Stacy Bonner) the snarky brat with a half shaven head, and an ample supply of hairdye and blue lipstick. Prince Charming (Harrison) If Ego had a face it’d be his, with his natural ability to swim and fly (jetpack assisted) if he meets a challenge he isn’t immediately perfect at he’s in for a sulk. Lady Chakotay (Seattle Montoya) the ambiguously Native American. Took me a while to figure out she’s Navajo. The first episode implies Native American mystic powers, but it’s just Draga and telepathy… also, she has a tattoo which she got as a child. And in a following episode, she reveals it’s a gang tattoo. I think someone should have called social services? Ec’co (I lied, he’s cool so he gets to keep his name) is a half-human, half-Hrathi hybrid. Meaning he gets four fingers and a thumb, but green shiny skin and one eye, so he’s an exile to his isolationist race, and a freak to his human classmates. Best character. And lastly, The Dragon Lady (Draga) is possibly an Ancient, who was found in an Ancient Egyptian Sarcophagus dated 5000 years ago… I’ll get back to that.
I feels like DIC Entertainment, or whoever made the show, just got the basicest rundown of the general plot of Stargate. Ancient Aliens. Wormhole. Egypt. Done. So they plop The Ancient bug in an Egyptian Sarcophagus around Goa’uld time (who are suspiciously never mentioned) The main antagonists are the Tlak’kahn, who have a sort of Aztec-Mayan motif going around. They’ve been described as bipedal snakes in the show, but I disagree with that description. They use suspiciously Jaffa looking staff weapons. They do have a handheld version which is just the head. They frame Gus Bonner through the use of a shapeshifter, and then break into the SGC to get the Ancient Chrysalis. Boner and the Kombat Kids leave through the Stargate and wind up on the run and framed. Also the Chrysalis is a big flying alien assumed to be an Ancient. Remember how I said it ran concurrently with Season 6? Well, that had Ancients be humans. And far, far older.
One thing I’ve seen brought up is how the Stargate used Zat’nik’tel SFX for the gate lighting up. I assure you, it was far worse. That was just the intro. In the show it uses a buzzer noise. And the gate itself is inconsistent. Sometimes the chevrons light up. Sometimes they move. Sometimes they light up and move. Sometimes only the light moves. And the worst offender was another chevron hidden underneath the chevron, which moves. Sometimes the ring moves, sometimes it doesn’t. One time the DHD spun round to dial out, that was actually pretty cool, move a symbol to the top to dial out like a rotary phone. Of course animation errors had been abundant. Mostly on Harrison, having his head, hair, and face not match up, having two right feet, stuff being generally weird, once the Stargate either had 6 chevrons, or was upside down. I’m pretty sure in the first episode the Tlak’kahn enter the SGC from a wormhole dialled from Earth.
Many episodes follow a theme, or a moral conundrum to follow to teach kids. The first four are tied to the main plot. The 6th involves Prince Charming going headstrong into a death sport to prove he is the best swimmer, but ultimately forfeiting the match to save his competitor. It’s like if the Tortoise saved the Hare. Episode 11 is like a PSA on doping. 12 is, don’t do stupid dangerous shit for tradition, and don’t let tradition hold you back from common sense. Episode 18 is the preservation of knowledge, and why banning a language, or a form of communication, can endanger a society. Episode 23 I like, it’s, “if at first you don’t succeed. Try something else.” It’s like Miss Frizzle saying “If at first you don’t succeed, find out why.” Episode 25 is a weird one, it’s about The Niece being headstrong about getting an alien tattoo, to prove the team wrong or something… but its effect is lessened when you realised, she already has a tattoo, on the side of her skull. In the final episode, there’s a third Stargate, in Mexico. They get back to Earth, but the shapeshifter fucks shit up again, and they return to being on the run. Cancelled, no season 2.
Now what do I think was the major fault of this show?… the Stargate brand. Stargate brought about it baggage, lore, a universe, and a set of rules and guidelines, which they broke. Had it been any other show, like, Wormhole X-treme Team, it probably would have been a still very mediocre show, but it at least would be the kind of show that would appear on TV channels that show old forgotten cartoons. Like Kix, and Pop. That's a very UK centric reference. I do wonder what would have happened in a second season, but even if I tracked down who made it, I doubt they would have an answer, it’s possible they never even had any solid plans before cancellation.
But, I do have one idea on how to reconcile this confusing show with the mainline Stargate continuity… the contents were actually written by an Airman stationed at the SGC, and shared it around like an amateur comic. It would explain a lot of things, and inconsistencies… because it’s just some random airman. But I’m sure those stationed at the SGC had a laugh. Carter would have complained about scientific inaccuracies in the Stargates, Daniel wouldn’t get it, Teal’c wouldn’t read it, and O’Neill has read every issue.
So, does anyone have something to say about SGI, the unloved bastard orphan of Stargate? Or perhaps you’d like to ask a question that I, a crazy man, can answer about the show.
Bonus Fact: the show is set 30 years in the future. Vaguely. Does it mean 30 years from the first mission, i.e. 2024. 30 years from when the show aired, 2032, or 30 years from… today. n+30=2054.

2024.03.20 10:09 Difficult-Tear3491 How to buy her?
2024.03.17 06:57 Simon_in_Oz More Apologist Horseshit
I just watched the first episode of Scripture Central’s new “A Marvelous Work” series entitled “The Greatness of the Evidence”. There is so much horseshit in this episode, I cannot remain silent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6030mVPhoaw I just want to comment on two things.
1. Stop with the racist “Maya are descended from Nephi” horseshit. For the first quarter of the video (5 to 15 min), we get to watch Scott Christopher fooling around on Lake Atitlan, which is about 80 miles from Guatemala City. Why is he there of all places in the Americas? Because BYU apologists STILL claim the Maya are descended from the Nephites. This claim is demonstrably false. The Maya have been extensively DNA tested and they have no Jewish ancestry…AT ALL.
https://www.reddit.com/exmormon/comments/1b9a20c/dna_bom_03_mitochondrial_dna_of_the_maya/ John Sorenson, who was the chief apologist at BYU for about 40 years, believes that only a few years after they arrived in the Americas, Nephi and his family wandered through the jungle and helped kick the Mayan civilisation into existence by establishing Kaminaljuyu, an ancient city located in Guatemala City.
This is racist claptrap. The Mayan civilisation is built on thousands of years of previous colonisation in the area. It needed no help from white people from Israel.
2. Stop with the horse, horseshit Back from his Mesoamerican junket, Scott Christopher then interviews perennial Book of Mormon apologist Matt Roper (24 to 28 min). Matt is super excited to tell Scott about the stunning new evidence for horses that Professor Wade Miller had recently uncovered in Mexico. However, there is no evidence worth talking about.
Miller’s work was published in a pretty obscure journal, the Texas Journal of Science, in 2022. But it is very problematic research which I discussed at length in a recent post.
https://www.reddit.com/exmormon/comments/ybytzv/mexican_horse_manure/ In my view, the main problem is that the authors were not able to carbon date the horse bones because the carbon-containing collagen they originally contained was all gone. So they dated bits of carbon-containing material near the bones. However, the soil was very rich in calcium carbonate which comes from rainwater. This younger carbon was coated over everything in the soil, including the bones and carbon-containing material near the bones. The soil at the site may also have been disturbed, mixing younger material with the older bones.
I recently learned that Wade Miller did not write the final version of the paper. He was ill at the time and passed away in July 2023. The final paper was written and submitted by Jim Mead, a retired scientist from the Mammoth Site at Hot Springs South Dakota. Jim Mead was contacted about the paper and this is what we learn from his response.
It turns out Jim Mead rewrote the paper, after it was rejected for publication, as a favour for a friend. Jim Mead did none of the research and hasn’t even been to the research site where the bones were discovered.
Jim Mead explicitly states in his letter that the paper “
is definitely NOT proof of horses lasting through the terminal Ice Age extinction to the present or near present.” (capital letters are Jim Mead’s). In fact, in Jim’s professional opinion horses
became extinct by about 13,000-11,000 years ago. Jim thinks of the paper as putting up a “target” for other researchers to shoot holes in.
Here is the letter (sorry its a bit long) which was published on the DiscussMormonism website.
https://www.discussmormonism.com/viewtopic.php?p=2855231#p2855231.
“As with any publication, the conclusions really only put out there information that is an opinion, more-or-less a target. A target for either the same researcher in the near future, or a target for other researchers. Some researchers like to profess that their conclusions are the final say ("I've done it - the true answer"), while others might indicate that the conclusions are the next step in a possibly lone line of hypothesis testing. We all want to be correct but more importantly, we want to be open in the discussion - or at least that is my approach.
My colleague Wade Miller (now deceased), senior author, wanted my help in working up the data that he and his Mexican colleagues had gathered from one locality. I gave him some suggestions as to how to approach the radiocarbon dating. I have not been to the fossil locality to 'see for myself' but had lots of questions. He created a manuscript that was not accepted for publication and having later read it, I understand why. So, he asked me to help write a new potential article ... my way.... but he had terminal cancer, was having issues, and his colleagues in Mexico could not work in English. So those are the 'rules of the game' presented to me for that project. Normally I would have just walked away but Wade was a very good colleague of mine.
The article we ended up publishing is definitely NOT proof of horses lasting through the terminal Ice Age extinction to the present or near present. It took me a fairly long time to get answers to my questions to Wade.
Yes - the biggest issue/problem with the data set is that we could not get radiocarbon dates from the younger horse fossils. But there is a logical and very plausible reason for this - just too much leaching of water through the bones and removing the collagen that is used for dating. This is actually a common issue with young, marsh deposits. But we do not 'win' by default. One argument from the many reviewers we had was that we likely had mixing of Ice Age horse up into the more recent time. One thing that kept impressing me was that why would horses be mixed from lower levels up but this did not happen with the other fossils of extinct mammoths, camels, carnivores etc. It did not make sense. And the obvious goat bones near the surface are not really mixed down into lower levels.
Take a close look at the animals that Wade and colleagues recovered and the radiocarbon dates. That one profile of the sedimentary layers. Although there is some mixing within each geological unit maybe, there does not seem to be mixing from the Ice Age up into the youngest, most recent levels.
My professional view is that there are many mammals (mega-mammals - mammoth, camel etc.) that became extinct by about 13,000-11,000 years ago. Some died out earlier but most, the last evidence was about that time. So, why the horses in this one remote region of northeastern Mexico. .... Hence my personal issues with the dataset and me being an author on the article. So - I wrote the article I hope in a way that basically states: 1) Here are the data as best as can be recovered and presented. 2) Here are all the details about the animals recovered and the radiocarbon dates presented stratigraphically. Originally Wade had the youngest dates at the top and the oldest at the bottom. This sort of worked ... but not. I obtained all the data and presented the dates on the profile based on what depth they were recovered - not by their age. This is more honest and least biased. 3) I hope that I have created the discussion and conclusions in a way that the reader will see that there are options to the conclusions. And that all options are testable - but it will take other localities to do this.
If horses were really lasting in the region the way this dataset implies, then there should be, must be, other localities with similar results. Very few localities in that region have been studied with the approach to do a detailed analysis. Many paleontologists and archaeologists approach a site with the idea to 'prove' some idea/concept that they may have. I ultimately do not really care what the result is - let's just see what the preserved data 'tells' us. But it often requires the researcher to be truly open and to do lots of different analyses. Approach the issue/problem/project from multiple views, using multiple analyses. I tried this as much as I could with Wade's data - again, my biggest issue was me not having been to the locality and seeing for myself. There are a number of Mexican paleontologists that apparently are at odds with some of the co-authors on this article. [i.e., I am swimming upstream] I do not know any of them other than Wade. One problem can be that other researchers may go to place purely to disprove what is being stated in our publication. That approach does not help really. We need researchers with open minds. Time will tell about what other publications say about our publication. I am fully ready to be targeted in a negative way. So be it, but so far, no issues.
I do a fair amount of work in Sonora, Mexico. Those publications are available to you if you want them. Just ask and I will send you pdfs. In no case have I found horses (or any now-extinct critter) lasting into the Holocene - the most recent 10,000 years. I have published about the Ice Age faunas from all over western USA - the same results about the extinct critters. I am currently working on plants and animals from 4 caves here in the Black Hills (SD) and 8 caves in the east-central Great Basin (Snake Range, NV). So far, same results........but I am having fun doing all of this. Oh, and one dry cave in the Trans-Pecos Texas region. I am not actively doing field work in Sonora anymore, but we are writing up lots about what we recovered from there.
I do not know where you live but if you ever make it out to the Black Hills, Hot Springs, SD (corner of SD, WY, and NE) come visit the Mammoth Site - a sinkhole with over 50 mammoths so far recovered from it, and we have a museum about other critters and cave faunas. If you do make it out here this summer or whenever, let me know and I can give you a tour of the site and show you our lab.
Let me know if you have other questions. All this is fun.”

2024.03.16 18:54 Outso187 Male god design
After getting roasted on Casters Casual Friday stream for my female god design post, I remembered I was supposed to make one for male gods too.
WARNING, THIS IS ANOTHER LOOOOOOOOOOONG POST. So without further ado (this is in god release order just as the female one):
- Agni. Rather simple design. He is on fire, he has two heads, he has pants that indicate where he is from. You could do more with the concept but design is not bad. Better than the normal "regular looking guy with two heads on fire" depictions of him.
- Anubis. First of these guys here so let me get right to it. Hirezs decision how to do egyptian gods was an interesting one. Most common depictions of these guys is generally a normal human body with an animal head, a jackal in Anubis' case. Smite went a bit further making the body humanoid in shape but giving them a lot of animalistic featuers, like semblance of fur and jackalfeet for Anubis. For pure visual side, it looks good. But there should be consistency amongst Egyptians, especially female gods deviate from this style a lot. And then we have stuff like Geb who is just a walking rock, nothing humanoid about him. Just from design point of view, its good but Egyptian pantheon as a whole lacks consistency.
- Hades. I know a lot of people think he doesnt look anything like Hades should look like. And I half-agree, he looks way more "evil" than Hades is supposed to be. But I still take this (and especially his old model) over the usual "old man with big beard" greek god visual. It looks cool, even if it doesn't depict what Hades is supposed to be and look like at all. At least there some soul theming in his abilities.
- He Bo. Another quite basic design, his remodel is pretty interesting. He went from old dude to this. Design is not terrible but theres a lot of weird choices, like those spike hands. Still, he does convey what he is, a water god, very well. I bet if he was remodeled, they would change him a lot but as he is now, its not too bad.
- Hun Batz. Definitely had never heard of this guy before Smite. And even while researching, can barely find anything about him. He look mayan, he looks like a howler monkey so design is okay. Needs a texture update badly tho, Smite 2 should fix that part.
- Kukulkan. To all you og Ao Kuang lovers, don't @ me. But I prefer the mayan worm over the chinese dragon. His original design is very outdated and the model looks terrible. As for our current feathery wyrm, design is very basic and doesn't take any risks but does convey who he is very well.
- Odin. As with a lot of the older designs in Smite, it's quite basic but does its job well. Just by looking at him, you can quite easily tell who he is and where he is from. Could use a bit more raven motifs on the actual model but its incorporated to his kit instead. Not sure what the things on his back are supposed to be, look a bit awkward and impractical. New model looks a lot better than the OG.
- Ra. Same thing as with Anubis when it comes to whole egyptian thing. But as they are, Ras model is pretty good, another simple yet effective design. Has the sun disk on his chest very visible, can't forget to include that one. Has much more humanlike body than Anubis, again coming to that lack of consistency.
- Sobek. One of the more recent remodels. And they did very good job with it. Another egyptian, this time even less humanlike than Anubis, is basically just a crocodile walking on two legs, slightly humanoidified proportions. But for what it is, it looks cool, the new armor has some detail to it and it conveys who he is very well and his protective nature with the passive too.
- Vamana. I personally prefer his old model but only for the comedic value since it looked so dumb. Although to be fair, it looked quite close to a lot of his depictions but have to keep in mind, a lot of those pictures are old af. From objective point of view, his remodel looks a lot better and you can still clearly tell from which part of the world he is from, at least from the looks (in nowhere in this post will I get into skin colors of the gods, this is just about visual design).
- Ymir. Another remodeled god, a lot of og beta gods did get one. Not much to say about him. He is a giant (in Smites grand scheme, he was one of the biggest models before gods like Jorm or Cthu), he is made of ice, he has norse symbols in his belt and mallet. Simple but effective.
- Zeus. The old, buff, bearded guy in a toga with a lightning bolt. You chould show him to anyone in the world and they would probably know who he is. It's not very imaginative design but it's Zeus. Recognizability is more important than artistic freedom in this case.
- Guan Yu. Still keeping with the remodeled gods. I do not miss the redfaced old model (I didn't play during it but you get my point). His design again is not very imaginative, basically the same as you see in tons of other media but thats kinda expected with a decently well known figure like Guan. A bit shame that they gave him this kinda ult, would've been a perfect fit to Lu Bu if they ever decide to bring him over. But as for Guan, it looks as it should and adds recognizability to the game so good design.
- Bakasura. Would you know, another remodel. And another needed one, old one looks terrible. One of the more random picks to add into the game, Bakasura is definitely not very known entity. I don't particularly like the Baraka handblade design but it fits his kit and the mouth in his chest definitely fits the "Great Devourer" title. He is supposed to be demonic entity (or rakshasa more specifically) and he definitely fits that. I guess this is one of the more imaginative design choices, especially from the older days of Smite.
- Anhur. Getting back to egyptians, we are back to highly anthropomorphized animals, closer to Anubis than Sobek. Definitely humanoid proportions but with a lot of fur and lion feet. Design is okay for what it is, definitely needs texture update. One of the lesser known egyptian deities, a lot of depictions I can find are just a dude, not even with lion head. But the choice Hirez went with, definitely makes him one of the furry favorites of Smite. And he is very iconic in Smite, one could say he is the most iconic hunter in the game, being the second hunter added.
- Cupid. And third hunter added is another iconic design. That doesn't definitely make it a good one, people call him a "tumorhead" for a reason. Choice to make Cupid look like a generic cherub is definitely a choice, makes him more recognizable but I don't think a lot of people would be mad if he was made to look a bit more like a human. He was often depicted as a child, not a half of one.
- Thor. One could he say he IS Smite. The OG posterboy. Holds the most name recognition in the whole game (thank you Marvel) and has to look the part. Hammer is bigger than you would expect but they clearly went with it being extremely noticeable. Theres definitely stuff you could do to upgrade his model but you can't touch the hammer. It's too iconic. The mmo shoulder pads can go and armor could be more detailed. We'll see what they do in Smite 2.
- Ares. His remodel made him look really awesome. The spartan helmet, massive shield with fire, armor in general. I don't know about the sword, the random spikes along the blade look weird but otherwise it looks cool. Another very recognizable god done well.
- Loki. Another god that got way more name recognition thanks to Marvel movies. And I do think those affected partially his remodeling, especially the horns. He looks way more sinister and intimidating in his current model but old model I feel like fit his trickster side way better, even though it looked quite silly and had impractical back thingies for no reason.
- Bacchus. Back to basics, (drunk) fat man in roman clothing, with huge jug of wine, a massive chunk of meat and grapevines in his hair. Sums up perfectly what Bacchus is supposed to be. A remodel that I do think didn't change that much, just updated it to looking more modern design than his old one.
- Xbalanque. Theres not too much lore found on a lot of mayan deities. All I could scrounge up that relates to his design, are the jaguar motif which can reference either his names possible meaning "Jaguar Sun" or one possible depiction where he and his twin brother Hunahpu where shown as were-jaguars, his blowgun which is a direct reference to him and his brother using those as weapons and his idle animation where he starts playing with a ball, referencing him and his brother beating the lords of the underworlds (Xibalba) in a game of old mayan ballgame. So the design does well to include all that, especially when its a very obscure and not well-known god.
- Hercules. I personally think he needs a full remodel. Only good part of his current design is the addition of Nemean Lions hide on his shoulder, otherwise his design is very bland and could be improved a lot. Also, his proportions are so bad, which is referenced by the Derpules skin.
- Vulcan. The Smith of the Gods. I think making him having mechanical body parts conveys decently well his skill behind the anvil. Its a very basic video game character design choice but I feel like it works here. The...what even are those things on his back? Exhausts? Whatever they are, they look a bit weird but they do have animation purpose since he launches his ult from those so it makes sense in that way. His basics do look very weird tho.
- Poseidon. I hate his remodel. Old one looked outdated, sure but at least it had something more unique going for it. With color choices and oceanic parts on his body. Instead of this current "old greek guy cosplaying as Ariels father" looking thing we have now. Very boring.
- Apollo. Even if he looks like a total fuckboi with his remodel, I do think thats what Apollo is supposed to look like. Most of the important parts are there, his lyre, his chariot. But as much as I like the decision to give him actual finger guns, its weird that they didnt give him a bow when hes known to have one. Also, needs a laurel wreath.
- Ne Zha. Made him look a lot less feminine with the remodel back in the day. They did incorporate all the parts he is known for in his base design. Wind Fire Wheels under his feet, the Armillary sash flying around him, Fire-tipped Spear in his hands and his idle animation shows him twirling the Universe Ring around. They also use a lot of the Lotus motif due to his title. So very succesful design at conveying what he is representing.
- Fenrir. When he finally comes out, they could make his model a bit bigger since he is supposed to be a giant wolf and now Smite actually has very different size god models in the game. On the other hand it would not fit his role as an assassin that well. I personally don't like the choice of making him bipedal, I feel like he could've just been a wolf. As for visual details, theres not much to say, he does have the runed chains he was bound with. Definitely needs a texture update.
- Chronos. The decision of making him a Wonderful Mechanical Man is very interesting, basically a walking clock. I do not like the "wings" made of clock handles but his staff with the clock motif looks good. At least they went all out and didn't half-ass the idea. It's a unique idea and makes him stand out in his own, overpopulated pantheon.
- Tyr. Not much to say about him, quite basic armored warrior design. Has the important things of missing a hand and the t-rune incorporated in the design. Good, solid design.
- Zhong Kui. "He is depicted as a large man with a big black beard, bulging eyes, and a wrathful expression." I think they nailed that part, rest of the iconography is also there. Bag of Demons, the brush and scrolls.
- Thanatos. This is another one of those designs where its really cool and awesome looking and definitely doesn't need a remodel. But he is supposed to be personification of *peaceful* death. While in Smite he is made to be some sort of Grim Reaper type who just wants everyone dead.
- Mercury. Winged boots, check. Roman helmet, check. Rest is just flavor.
- Sun Wukong. Another basic version of Sun Wukong but it works. Very recognizeable, has the most important parts with Jingubang, 72 transformations (even if its only 3 of them) and Cloud Somersault.
- Ah Muzen Cab. They had basically nothing to go for other than the title "God of Bees". So pretty solid design, doesn't exactly scream Mayan tho, other than the necklace.
- Chaac. Buff native guy with mayan tattoos, headdress and his Lightning Axe. That's pretty much all he is but another god where theres not really any visual depictions outside of massively old statues. The pauldrons with almost no other clothing look a bit silly but its otherwise good design.
- Geb. A rock.
- Ullr. Definitely needs to have something about skiing in his design or kit. Otherwise its a bit obring but decent design. I do not like the random onesided pauldron thing, I dont think a god associated with skiing and forests needs armor, maybe some hide.
- Kumbhakarna. Very accurate to his depictions, not much to say.
- Osiris. Decent design, has the beard thingy that is used in most depictions. Obviously one of the most humanlooking egyptian gods since he is not associated with animals like most others. Still just shows how little consistency there is on egyptian designs.
- Janus. One of the few roman original gods, that doesn't have a greek counterpart. Another Wonderful Mechanical Man but decently depicts his two faceness with the head turning around, should have more of the key motif in his design. He just carries one on his belt, doesnt even use it for anything. Good idea, execution isnt bad either.
- Rama. They have a trend with Hindu gods. Make them as accurate to a lot of depictions and call it a day. Very few people can complain that way.
- Cabrakan. Quite obscure god. He seems to be typically depicted as a massive crocodile or caiman so I guess the decision to make him look like he does, was to distinguish him from Sobek. Not sure *what* he is supposed to be but design is okay. Is he like a giant buff man/ogre-thing with crocodile scales?
- Sylvanus. Quite known god that was actually given one of Smite OCs as a companion. I think the addition of Grover does make his kit very interesting (I hope he is a cypress tree). Needs ult name swapped with Terra tho.
- Ao Kuang. I heavily prefer his new model but I feel like it doesn't make him look very kingly. Still very good design. The dragon form is awesome and nod to his old design. Definitely can tell just by looking at him that he's chinese.
- Hou Yi. He definitely looks like an archer but the fuck is that thing over his eye supposed to be? Half-mask with zero purpose. It's very random design, not bad, but if you remodel him, I think not too many people would feel too bad about it.
- Ah Puch. Very dead looking dude with a death mask. Simple but kinda effective still.
- Ratatoskr. What Fenrir also should be (when he comes out). Just a regular looking animal, in this case a squirrel. Has the belt pouch of a messenger. Hopefully Smite does more gods like this, not everything has to be anthropomorphized.
- Ravana. Decently accurate to depictions (except only having one head). For gameplay reasons, makes sense that he only has one head, at least he has reference to having multiple heads on his kit.
- Khepri. Yet another level of how animalistic they want to make egyptian gods. Just a straightup dung beetle, with no human elements. Design is good.
- Xing Tian. Theres not much to go with. He has a shield, check. He has no head, check. He has an axe, check. He uses his nipples as eyes and bellybutton as a mouth, kinda check. Accurate to what hes supposed to look like. Not sure why his belly face looks that monstrous but a bit of artistic freedom is always fine.
- Chiron. They did go with the traditional depiction of a centaur and not the version of Chiron where his front legs are human and only back legs are horses. But animating that would look very silly so I understand the decision. Another god with random armor parts that I feel like doesn't need them.
- Raijin. Good design, has the oni mask, daiko drums with tomoe symbols. Does not sit on a cloud tho. And I'm not sure why he only has three fingers and two toes.
- Susano. The hat is definitely added flavor to make him look more japanese but its another one of these "safe" designs. It looks japanese, has the references you need, in this case mainly his sword. But they could've done more.
- Fafnir. His non-dragon form is not described in the lore, they just went with how his brother is described as looking like a dwarf. Dragon form looks fine.
-Erlang Shen. Gets way more hate than he deserves. I do agree that his default lacks all the detail but otherwise the design is fine. Just give the armor actual details and its good. Doesn't even need to be as much as Regal Warrior, I feel like thats overkill. Current armor as base looks fine, just give it details and make it look chinese.
- Camazotz. Another obscure god. A mayan bat spirit that looks like a bipedal bat. Makes sense, pretty good design.
- Thoth. We going back to anthropomorphized animal designs of egyptian gods. Very close to Anubis design, less humanlike than Ra. Not sure why he only has four fingers. But overall conveys "Thoth" very well.
- Kuzenbo. Kappa.
- Cernunnos. Choice of making him an actual goatman is interesting but I feel like he represents what Cernunnos is supposed to be pretty well. I still feel like his Elk skin feels a bit more like Cernunnos than the goat but it's not bad.
- Ganesha. The usual Hindu way of being very accurate to depictions and thats it.
- Cu Chulainn. Very good choice of tattoos and colors and other details on his clothing. His base model especially is very accurate to what you could expect from his depictions.
- Hachiman. An archer in a very traditional looking samurai armor. He looks very japanese, doesn't try to invent anything with the design. Solid.
- Cerberus. The soul energy inside him is an interesting touch but otherwise its basic design. Threeheaded dog with a snake for a tail. So Cerberus.
- Achilles. Compare his design versus Hercules. One of the premier man-meat designs.
- Chernobog. They went with very basic looking demonic guy. At least he has the crystal motif going for him. He looks cool but its still quite boring design.
- Baron Samedi. He looks exactly like Baron Samedi. Nothing to add.
- King Arthur. I feel like not that many people who don't know, would guess he is King Arthur but he looks quite regal and like a warrior. They went much harder on the warrior side than king side of the design.
- Merlin. The addition of the old man Merlin makes his design better. A lot of people associate Merlin with the old wise wizard look (thanks to Disney) and that skin has that. His default is much more of that slightly older guy that is just better than you at what he does. Would definitely be played by Russel Crowe (20 years ago) in a movie. The design archetype is basically the same as Gale in BG3.
- Jormungandr. He is massive, he looks like a sea serpent.
- Horus. Another four-fingered birdman, for what he is, his design is good.
- Set. For some reason, at some point egyptian gods lost a finger and they kept that going with every single new egyptian god. Since he is based on not a real animal, kinda hard to say if he looks good or not. He looks cool at least.
- Olorun. Edit: Some people took it the wrong way when my point was just not knowing how he is even supposed to look like so I will not make any comment at all.
- Heimdallr. He does look very norse. He does have the horned helmet, the horn and his sword is there. Interesting choice that his main weapon is an axe tho. And he doesnt have his horse. But good choice of not giving him mmo shoulder armor.
- Cthulhu. "A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind." Yea, they nailed that.
- Tsukuyomi. A very anime-esque design. There definitely isn't much to go on in the mythology, he is not nearly as well known as his siblings, Amaterasu and Susano. Cool, solid design. Would've been interesting to run with the idea of one of the lore sources where his sex isnt even known. So they could've made him female.
- Danzaburou. He is a tanuki, he has pg-13 version of his giant balls. Not sure why he uses a blunderbuss as his weapon but otherwise his design is very good.
- Gilgamesh. Hell yeah, brotha. Looks very appropriate to his origins. Not quite sure what his left gauntlet is supposed to be but overall very cool design.
- Atlas. I guess the color choices of his skin and hair are there representing how he is not a god but a titan. Good-ish design, incorporated the myth of him holding up the earth with the astrolabe really well. Armor is a bit weird and doesn't really fit, falls a bit too much to that "basic mmo armor" trap.
- Shiva. Hindu so he looks like they took a picture of his most popular depiction and went with that. Which does work.
- Yu Huang. Very good visual design. Looks pretty much like a lot of the old depictions of chinese emperors.
- Lancelot. Another quite basic design but it works for him. He is a knight and he looks like one. Could've given him a helmet though.
- Maui. Great design, you immediately see where he is from. I love the shoulder pads that look like they are made of wood and reeds.
- Surtr. Him being the old fire giant, we already knew what he was gonna look like. And he definitely looks the part.
- Martichoras. The big risk. Making the actual first OC of Smite, even if its based on some myths. I personally don't mind making characters like him as long as they are somewhat rooted in mythology. For design, its just a quite basic manticore.
- Charon. As much as I like him not being the usual boring bearded old man of Greek mythology, I don't really like him being the boneman. Incorporating the boat is important and done well but I just dont like his model. The armor looks dumb too. Why does the ferryman need armor to row souls over the Styx?
- Bake Kujira. I think the most obscure non-mayan addition to Smite. Very cool idea and done really well.
To summarize, I feel like Smite takes a lot less chances with male designs. They vary in general more than female ones, from fully being an animal like Rat or Khepri, through half-animals like a lot of egyptians to fully normal looking dudes. But a lot of the designs are like the Mario-movie, doing the bare minimum without taking any risks (and then theres Geb). And egyptian pantheon needs some consistency. But overall, after going over every single god in Smite, there's not too many absolutely horrible designs. I think the worst ones are Nemesis and Thanatos. Which is kinda funny, with them being siblings.
P.S. This took two hours to write ;_;
