SAURIA is a brutal, primordial, dark-fantasy world. It's full of dangerous prehistoric wildlife, acursed cultists, pirates, bandits, and numerous warring factions. Survival is the only real goal of most of SAURIA's inhabitants.
In this video; I'll be going over the backstory and lore behind one of the most ancient races of SAURIA; the Arctic Saurians. A species of humble and secretive hunter-gatherers who live deep within the dangerous wilds.
Hope you all enjoy! :D

I'm really glad people seem to be liking this series as much as they are! :D
This is the second of at least four SAURIA Lore videos I'll be making, spread out throughout the series. The final two videos will be about the BlueSong and the Fell, and will be released after the third episode is finished.
when will the third episode prolly release?
Congratulations for getting 1 million subs ^_^
Who were the pachycephalosaurus people?
I hope there will be a Second Season of Sauria?
I think the last Episode will be a long time coming?
The way Helionyx's face drops when he realises what he's done and starts apologizing to the smilodon is heartbreaking it's amazing how you were able to get so much emotion into a face so foreign to us humans plus your delivery just absolutely makes it amazing, I absolutely love this short film
I can see the relief from the mother smilodon knowing her child will be safe.
"There were never very many of us" - Treebeard, The Two Towers. You've given me a Tolkien-esque sense of wistfulness with the story of the Arctic Saurians' plight. I hope they find a way to weather this storm and keep the balance of the mountains!
And hopefully the figurative Saruman in this story gets the same treatment! Though if it's inverted I'd still like to see that despite how painful (in a good way) it would be.
@@DragonKing-te9wy Honestly the Bluesong Empire is something of a hybrid of both Sauron and Saruman. Apparently obsessed with control and order like Sauron - himself playing a not overtly villainous role at one point in Middle-Earth's history! - extended by Saruman's drive to tame nature and bend it to his will when necessary. I'm curious to discover if there is a Morgothian figure in this Sauria universe. Whether an evil incarnate from whom all lesser evils are begotten even fits this sort of project.
@mateuszjokiel2813 Well written! I've even associated the Blue Song with the materialistic naturalist seeking to regimentize an inherently wild world.
I think we may soon see a Morgoth-esk character in the Elder Ones (if I remember that name correctly).
The near extinction of the Arctic Saurians and their culture reminds me of one time watching this one Ralph Breaks the Internet video. It had all the Disney Princesses speaking their native languages, all except two. One was Moana simply because a Polynesian dub didn't exist yet... And the other was Pocahontas... Because her language, Powhatan, is extinct... And it was rather haunting to read that with Pocahontas having no audio in that video. It was horrifying to imagine that an entire language is gone.
The fact that the Arctic Saurians are losing their people, culture, and subsequently their language because of invading forces is all too realistic.
Great job with all this. I can't wait until the next Sauria episode.
"How high can a sycamore grow? if you cut it down, then you'll _never know"_
Taurox: A staggering 200+ years old.
Helionyx: "Those are rookie numbers."
I am absolutely obsessed, I could watch hours and hours of your lore videos.
Pretty sure he’s got more on his patreon if you have a few bucks lying around 👀
Same!
real
You are by far one of the most creative people on this platform, please, keep up the good work dude!
My thoughts as well!
Based
You took the words right out of my mouth.
So true
Fyijfdo.
It's a bit of a shame that we'll only be getting three episodes of Sauria in the forseeable future. I understand why, of course. Running a solo indie project of this scale costs immense effort, and what you have shown us already is incredible. I just feel like a project with so much time, detail, passion, effort, and depth involved deserves to be so much more than just a RUclips series that maybe one or two million people will see. Yes, I am aware of the magnitude of that statement, and I mean it. This deserves to stand alongside giants of the fantasy genre like The Lord of the Rings or The Elder Scrolls. It is more than worthy of hollywood, or at least being put on Netflix.
I know!! The fact there’s only going to be one more episode planned is sad! I’m so drawn into this world.
YES
Probably he already has tought of this but looking at how AWESOME he draws if instead of doing animated shorts he could do more material doing comics I would totally prefer it. I love the animation of certain parts, like how the animals move but apart from that I love as much his drawings as his animation.
I don't want him to be like a content machine for us or anything like that, but if he can express his creativity more in other ways and expand as much as he wants, I don't really care if it's animated videos or comics or... I mean, for me the best part are his ideas and how he show them in his art, not so much that we got "good animation" or something.
A bit of good news, in the pinned comment he says there'll be at least 4! But I totally agree, this is one of if not the best series on youtube
@@thegreivousone2444 4 lore videos
I love the Maia reference to Maiasaura, a dino genus described as caring to their young.
Wasn’t expecting to get a sneak peek at the next episode coming after your last one, but I’m looking forward to it once it’s ready regardless.
_"Not evil,"_ says the mother, _"just born with sharp teeth."_
Exactly what I thought! Glad to see I'm not the only one who made that connection
I love the world building you’ve done for Sauria
The lore of these people is both fascinating and somber. They have been suffering a long, slow and tragic extinction. You really cut deep with this one.
I liked how the main character was understanding of what killed his child was just a animals survival but the pain still lived with him enough to kill the beast such a complex story good job
Sauria is such an interesting world. Perhaps think about turning it into a TTRPG game so that we may explore it on our own after the last short film.
I am with you, 100%!
Realistic thought: Bad idea to develop new games and today more than ever. That's no healthy sector for anyone.
Oh, i get it! Maia like maiasaura, that's clever, sir. I aplaud you.
I hope Sauria will be made into a full blown series sometime, this is simply amazing.
How you worldbuild is inspiring.
I love how immediately after you put out the animation, you also post two super high quality supplements. Keep up the good work!
I love these lore videos, I love your worldbuilding and your voice is soothing to listen to.
I can't help but notice and appreciate the irony of the helix. The Artic Saurians worship the cyclical nature of the world, the very balance of it all and the helix represents that. The Blue song have unwittingly created their own helix, though a much more negative one. They worship the forefathers, the world they created and left behind. They want to replicate them and thus seek out those who may have the knowledge about them. But in their conquest, their invasion of the mainland...they've pushed the artic Saurians to the point of extinction in their pursuit of their knowledge. If they continue, they will lose the very thing they are seeking before they even find it. Their punishment will be never knowing anything about the culture they idolise, it will forever end up out of their reach no matter how much they try to tame Sauria. I love it
I'm nowhere near skilled enough to pull it off, but I would absolutely love to try my hand at created a cosplay of one of these Saurians. Especially the pachycephalosaurus warrior glimpsed in your sketchbook!
Congratulations on 1 million subscribers.
"If true, this individual would have to be a staggering 5,000 years of age."
For comparison, that's about the same age as the oldest tree in the world.
I wish this tree could tell us about everything it saw
Another fantastic look into the mysterious people of Sauria! I'm now very intrigued by the Forefathers, and what they could mean for the BlueSong. It looks like next episode will show us the most of Sauria and it's peoples we've seen yet!
I can only wonder if Helionyx might take up his father's pursuit of knowledge about the ancients to better fortify his wild home from these new invaders. And I'd love to see him and the now grown Smilodon cub again!
YES
I love these lore breakdowns. This one is especially impactful to me as, at least the part with Helionyx, seems to mimic the message of Sharp Teeth, which has a special place in my mind, as that was the first video of yours I ever saw
WoW, thanks for uploading so soon, im drawing every creature of Sauria and this, helps me a lot 😊😊
Absolutely can't wait for all this lore. Don't forget to take your time though, all these videos are a treat but you need to treat yourself too
🐎🐎🐎🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴
I'm honestly in love with this series, its one of the most well thought and creative ideas I've seen and you can feel the love put into this series
I'd love you make fanart art and fan characters for this series and i hope someday well get more of this series after these 3 episodes
I am noticing that anything relating to the "forefathers" have a lot of Pterosaur imagery, and I have seen Green Pterosaur dudes in he trailers and a lot of green swampyness in the bits of Ep3 you are showing
My theory is that these forefathers didn't die out but instead fell from grace, becoming feral in the swamps of sauria
They also seem to have some kind of worshipping or sacrificing circle in the very first trailer. That could lead to some big reveal
That is my thought as well. The same general that killed the bull will also feature in the episode.
@@Stooltoad5017 interesting, what tells you that?
@@evodolka look at the community tab.
@@evodolkaThe community tab has a quick snapshot about the third episode.
This needs to be sponsored, such an awesome lore and back ground. Really creative details. Just awesome.
HES HIT A MILLION SUBS LADS LETS GO
the bluesongs motivations now make more perfect sense now, the bluesongs goals, aren't just to take over sauria but also to understand what happen to the previous empire to find out happen to them. also we also get more info other saurian races other from the main four?
Been a fan, and a Patron for what feels like ages. And I am so keen to continue supporting a creative mind that is so alive and bursting with ideas! Every video is its own masterpiece, and I have always been in awe of what you create, and how you create it!
Thank you very much. I’ve seen your name on that top Patreon supporters list for years! I really appreciate it
I love the Arctic Saurians. Their just so good natured. Hopefully we hear a lot more of them
I love how the snow makes it look like the statue of one of the forefathers is crying.
It is a subtle detail but it might hint at the true motives of the forefathers or the way the blue song are treating their history or any number of things i can't currently come up with.
The level of detail you put into your world building is always so impressively staggering, and the way you neatly lay it all out in sketchbooks is so satisfying to see and listen to
I just realised that the lands of Sauria could be based on the UK. The map looks very similar and the far north of Sauria is inspired by Scotland.
Hurray, more lore vids! I love stories and franchises that have more bellow the surface shown!
I was really hipped for this.
Love the series
I love how you did the book! May i ask if you made it digitally? Maybe... a TUTORIAL?
I’m pretty sure he does his sketchbooks with multiple different mediums like pencil, pen, watercolour, et. cetera. However, I’m not sure if any of it is done digitally.
You should please sell the book of lore I would absolutely buy it also has anyone told you that you have a very nice voice? Love your work! Keep going!
So cool, love the detailed lore, really adds an extra layer of depth.
I absolutely need this series to be more than 3 episodes
The third episode looks so cool from the few shots I saw.
I love these kinds of videos : explaining the lore of your world. Its so interesting learning about the lore and backstories of characters, races and places. keep up the amazing work!
It's so good to see another spectacular masterpiece from you! This really needs to be put on a streaming service
My siblings and I love watching your videos and making theories, I’m excited to show them Sauria!
I'd love to give Helionyx a hug, I'd never find him in the snow but it's the thought that counts right? Old man needs a hug
The quality, the effort put into these stories, the added lore videos. I've only found this channel last night, but I've already gotten so invested! Great job! Can't wait for more!
Giving this man a whole team full of hard working and passionate people, and having a high budget, now I dont know what kind of master piece this man can create.
Congratulations on 1m subs you really deserve it ! 👍
Damn. The sneak peeks have me so excited!
Also, why has Netflix not contacted you.
If not Amazon Prime.
You have an entire amazing universe in your head!
I think he would prefer to keep his work safe from Hollywood corruption
@@amitkenan3878YES
I love how well thought out the lore of Sauria is, it is truly incredible that you can get so much work done so quickly. And thank you so much for sharing it with us!
The sneak peeks of episode 3 look amazing! You're truly outdoing yourself with this series, every time a new episode comes out it has a chokehold on my mind for weeks!
Dude your worldbuilding is immaculate, amazing work!
Seeing clips of the third episode is making me more excited.
Hey dude, please keep making these lore videos about sauria! its amazing, i love it, watched every single one since you started making this project!
Absolutely love it! Can't wait to see more!
Love this video, also thank you for including titbits of future episode, very excited! Take your time with it, your work shines when you're having fun
Finally, 1 MILLION subs! Great job, you totally deserved this!

I absolutely love your worldbuilding! thank you for sharing it with us!
You have no idea how much I love these videos, they're great
Wow, I just love these Lore videos - the world, which you have created David, is just amazing: thank you for this 🙏
The work you put in to this series is amazing.I can't wait to learn more about your amazing world.
This is such an awesome and creative concept. I love everything you're doing with this series and can't wait to see what the next episodes have in store.
I've been watching your channel for over 6 years with my brothers and everytime I'm amazed by your work. Since Redone, every animation but especially the making of videos have been so cool to watch. You've been my biggest inspiration online to go to college now for post production work, videography, and to try out art as a hobby. Keep up the great work man!!!
Episode 3 looks like it’s going to be crazy! Can’t wait!
Congratulations on finally reaching 1 million subscribers! It's been a long time coming and it's far more than deserved! I'm more than happy to be a part of this channel! ❤
Absolutely beautiful mate
Amazing worldbuildng! Keep up the good work buddy
congrats on 1 million dude!
Please never stop, your talent as an animator and VA is truely inspiring and beyond entertaining. I’ve watched you for years now and I hope to watch your work for years to come. Thank you for the obviously incredibly hard work you put in to provide us these beautiful short films and creating of videos.
Ps, I’m loving these new lore videos for Sauria!!
This channel is just pure madness of perfection. You are very talented “everything”, from concept artist, to a movie producer.
Auuuuuuuuuuuuu
THIS IS SO COOL!!!! I love your animations, I'm super excited for the next one and to learn more about the world of sauria
A MILLION SUBS! Congrats man!
I really love your sketches of Helionyx, something about the way you drew him reminds me of Caesar from the planet of the apes trilogy
I love your lore videos! They give me so many ideas for my own stories and in general I’m in awe of what you have created
It's so lovely to see the passion in your work. I'm not planning to go into animation but I've used your sketchbook composition/presentation as inspiration for my own art sketchbook in school at some point! Love your work and always look forward to see whatever you come up with :D
I screamed happily when i saw that there was a new story about Sauria, this channel has been such a cool project even before the Sauria series and I was glad to see some previous animals too. The background videos make me appreciate it all even more and am glad that we get to see the expansive methods used. I actually showed my mom the channel too and she loved it.
I seriously love your work, dude. Every time you make a new video I get excited, not only to see the project but also the process of working on it. You inspire me a hell of a lot, and I'm hyped to see more of your story for these characters and the world they inhabit. Honestly, I really love this concept, it's awesome and it kinda makes me want to make my own dinosaur characters, lol
Congrats on one million!
Congratulations on 1M subscribers, David. I’m glad you’ve hit a well-deserved appreciation milestone.
Congrats on 1 mil!! You definitely deserve it, your stuff is amazing
I would love to have see a full blown series or movie of this world. Sauria is an amazing setting.
Bro, probably people are already telling you this, but this whole series is just amazing, and this video makes it stand out even more! I mean, you just created a whole lore about just one species of your Sauria land, and I could imagine a whole spin-of of it just talking about the arctic saurians way of life and culture and religion.
Please keep the good work and I cant wait for the next video!
CONGRATS ON A MILLION SUBS!!! :D
Absolutey love your wonderful world and its inhabitants...am sharing your videos to friends and they too are amazed and immediately addicted
Yay! LOORRRRREEEE!!!!
I am so exited to learn more about the background storyline for this series.
1 million subs! Congratulations David!
THE LORE IS SO HYPE, i love this!!
I think these are my favorite race and I love how you make your lore books look like journals from from an old Explorer aspect
Please keep it up this is really super film. We are excited to watch part 2 ❤❤❤.
I know this is a weird thing to say, but I think I enjoy watching your behind the scenes videos more than the animations. And I love the films of course! But there’s just something so inspiring about seeing your process, the development of your ideas, your journey and creativity. I always come back to these making of videos when I’m burnt out, and your passion often inspires me. Thank you for what you do
The worldbuilding here is incredible!!! The amount of time and love you put into each story? Crazy inspiring (thanks for the name jumpscare too, I don't see my spelling used often out in the world!)
bro i am loving the lore in here, cant wait for episode 3!
Always a fantastical listen after such a fantastic watch. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to seeing more of your World.
Incredible!! 🤩
Absolutely love these stories.
🎉 Congrats on reaching one million subs! You made it! 😊🥂💕
