I love what Taliesin did with Melora. She chose a wolf as her mortal avatar, so she would not have compassion, and could do what was necessary. Only hunger and violence.
Taliesin actually speaks on the subject about how Melora is so close to aligning with the betrayers if it was not for someone else's influence - hinting to Erathis. Taliesin says that while Melora did want to side with the wipe, she understands where Erathis is coming from and that there is no wipe and redo - they only get this one chance. Nature is not good or evil; she is violent and hungry and merciless yes, but she is also mother with her partner and it is that connection that pulls her from being Betrayer-aligned.
"Marching to war over and over and over again for those that cannot die, and seem unwilling to kill each other" and "if you wanted to make us to serve the gods, you should not have made us good". I get so giddy when Brennan gets into his bag and pulls out emotional damage.
My theory regarding the Luxon is that it's a god that never touched the real and instead was fragmented into many pieces which is why each fragment is described as light filled with possibility.
Nick's character is only 15 years old while the others are much older. We don't know how long it takes to awaken the "God within" the avatar. He could still be viewing himself as someone separate. Also he might be playing like Christianity Trinity doctrine. He's both the father and son
Just a bit of lore I think about all the time. In or near C2E62, Yasha had a Storm Lord dream. About the forgotten part of her past, she said smtg like "I think I've done terrible things." He replied, "We've *all* done terrible things." Esp with Downfall, I think about that interaction all the time. The SL knew from experience what its like to have massive regrets, but face your past anyway, try to move on and be better even (especially) if it's hard. The sorta moral code he gives his champions, comes from personal experiences and personal mistakes/flaws. Ludinus did not grow in a positive direction after Aeor fell. But what if the gods did? Can they change? Can they be redeemed? Soz for the essay!
I don't see everything wrapped up in only one 4 hour episode. I'm betting some threads will continue into rest of the campaign even though it's the future
@@garysmith9677 Not necessarily. Some of what makes tragic storytelling effective is the knowledge that all these Could Haves remain unfinished forever
My current theory about the angels coming to Aeor, is that someone told them that the gods had called a truce and someone told them the nature of that truce. Now my question is when the gods aren’t there, who receives the prayers? And we know that the planatars are from the Dawnfather’s army. We ALSO happen to have a Betrayer pretending to be a priest of the Dawnfather. And as Asha said, he never tells a lie. I believe Father Milo told the angels and moved the timeline forward. For what I don’t know. But that’s my thoughts on it.
He very likely did it to force the destruction of Aeor, and make it so that there is no wiggle room to convince Aeor to change, because Asmodeus HATES mortals.
I was completely stunned by Ashley’s performance in this episode. Her reaction when The Emissary says “Little lies are okay” is just heartbreaking. She never goes big in this character, but everything she does is understated and perfect.
14:35 Honestly, with Emhira, I feel like it's more that she's an offshoot due to how Brennan described her experience speaking with the Planetar after it took its own life. He told Laura to describe her "true character' and at the end of that scene he says that the knowledge "comes flooding to Emhira" (episode timestamp 3:05:10) implying that Emhira wasn't directly involved in the conversation, only the Matron in her true godly form.
So if you watch the Florida SuperCon panel, Matt told Liam that a one-shot based on the arrival of the Luxon would be extremely short as the amount of energy that it produced was highly destructive (paraphrasing from memory from nearly a month ago). I don't think we'll ever see that, unless it's an aftermath story.
I would love to see Ludinus as a member of the society of primes, wanting so bad to get to the same level as the gods and being by their side as an equal, just to have his dreams shattered and witnessing those he looked at so highly decimate all the progress of mortals so they can survive and keep at least some control. Can't wait till thursday !!
Someone said they thought Ludinus might be Hallis (the boy Trist saved). His mother devoting her life to worshiping a god who instead chooses to destroy her and his home would be SO juicy.
I seem to recall…someone?…saying that Ludinus was a child during the fall of Aeor. I could be wrong but I’m putting it out there in case it jogs someone’s memory.
@@beng9790He lived in Molaesmyr when it fell (and we pretty much know he caused its fall during an attempt to contact Predathos), but that’s not where he came from originally. He moved there, and claimed to have come a city in Issylra.
THEORY. This might be toooootally disprovable, but I would kind of love if Hallas the kid is actually Ludinus. Maybe it's stated he's a human or something like that, but I just feel like it would be such motivation for Ludinus if his mother was, against all odds, a true believer of the gods, and the gods just ultimately killed Aeor and her with it. And that the Everlight healing him and filling him with those extra HP is maybe part of why he lived extra long or survived etc. He was healed by the gods but only to watch them betray/destroy his mother and the world around him and move on, etc.
This is a cool theory. I think Ludinus came from Molaesmyr rather than Aeor according to established lore, but that could be a lie he spread on purpose.
Yeah, my working theory about the Luxon/the Beacons was that they were fragments of the endless possibility of Tengar that the gods accidentally brought with them when they escaped. Or that the Beacons were the pieces of the gods that got left behind when they entered the “real” and had to let go of all the possible versions of themselves that they could have been. It being fragments of the ship is basically that but better haha. It just seems way too perfect that Tengar was a place of endless possibility, and that the gods were all represented as light beings in their home realm. How can it _not_ be connected to the Luxon? I feel like there’s a very good chance we’re not going to find out if that’s true in this miniseries though. Or maybe not ever.
My personal takeaway from Erathis' speech to The Emissary was: Two lines previous parallel now converge - What beliefs were once aligned now cross or "We did have the same goal but now we disagree". One of two promises must be broken - either her promise to mortals or promise to her family. Mortals have made a 'law' where there was none; they laid down their law and as the Lawbearer, Erathis wishes to respect them but not coming. Aeor says no gods so no gods - loophole sending The Emissary. She also says something to end about making new lines. I think what she's saying is that she never made a law that said "you can't ascend to godhood" or kill a god or what have you, so the mortals have broken no laws and she doesn't want to break theirs by showing up, but instead will write a law by drawing a line with a statement for all of mortal-kind's future: You do this again and this is what will happen (result Aeor).
As much as she talks about how much the deities have warped and hurt Exandria by their presence, it may also stand to reason that Erathis and Bahamut are currently busy plotting the Divine Gate. We know the Divergence isn't for several more centuries, but the seeds of the idea seem to start here.
i thought the emmissary would be the one to protect all of the believers of Aoer with magic shields with his goddess's powers.. Until he ran up to a mage and tore them apart in their hands :')
Watching Trist and Ayden in the hospital, and thinking about the compassion they clearly have for some of the mortals of Aeor, and the tension between that compassion and Emhira and Asha's recognition of "what needs to be done" made me wonder -- those time bubbles that preserved clusters and groups of people within Aeor? I wonder if those are a compromise made among the gods, something they did to protect some of Aeor's more innocent populace. Maybe even (and this is based on a few comments here) something to do with whatever the Emissary is carrying within them.
I'm glad CR are taking the opportunity to create these looks into the past with Brennan the other guest players. But it's had for someone who doesn't have the the free time and sit down and carefully pay attention to follow. As someone who listens in the car or while doing other activities it's much harder to pick up on the nuances of this story. Particularly with some unfamiliar voices and with characters being avatars for the gods. Bravo CR for a brave creative choice! But also thank the deities for you Luna and for videos like this to give me a good summary of what is happening. Cheers!
Did you also notice that The Emissary, in Part 1, said that Erathis loves Melora "Double Triple Infinity"? I think that's how much Cerrit's son (played by Brennan) said he loved him. Watch it back and look at everyone's faces as it hits home, especially Brennan's delayed reaction seeing Nick's (who, as you said, must have watched Calamity recently). These might be my favourite guests ever.
My random theory is that The Emissary is the reason why people are trapped within the blue bubbles in the ruins. Which maybe makes sense in a way. The Lawbearer doesn't want to intervene too heavily and most likely wants her family to succeed so they don't die, but she wouldn't find it fair that everyone in Aeor has to die as a result. So she sends The Emissary in her stead to help her siblings accomplish their task but also with a fail-safe to protect a lot of people in the city who were just trying to seek refuge from the destruction that the gods themselves created on Exandria. I would fucking LOVE this explanation and hope it ends up being true lol
Can you Imagine if Hollis (The Boy the Everlight cured and made a commoner with 70 hit points) is actually Ludinus, who saw how his mother was betrayed by the very Gods when AEOR was destroyed?
I am LOVING the themes of Downfall. The first episode I was more horrified by Aeor (the obvious totalitarianism) and I absolutely still am, but I'm also appalled by the gods too. The celestial's words really hit me hard and spoke on something that I started to feel at the end of the first episode: the gods are hypocrites. They say they must wipe out Aeor because Aeor has the capacity to kill them, but that is the very rationale Aeor is using. Both of them are racing to eliminate the other for selfish reasons; the difference is that Aeor HASN'T killed a god yet, while the gods HAVE destroyed so much of Exandria in their squabble. Maybe it was about "protecting mortals" in the beginning (I'm sure the Dawnfather and Everlight still believe this), but it also seems to be a war about who is "right." It's a family feud and they are using mortals as the justification to have it. Anyways, I'm not on Aeor's side, but I'm definitely not on the gods either. To be honest, I think they deserve to get eaten by Predathos. Lol. At least right now. Maybe Aeor's destruction will be a big factor in why they choose to seal themselves behind the divine gate. Maybe I'll feel differently after next episode. Maybe I won't. We shall see!
I am on the same journey, maybe destroying the gods is the best thing to do, and maybe Ludi (apparently being alive during the Calamity years and maybe on Aeor[?]) has a VERY good reason to want to see them gone forever. @saeyyy may have a point above.
Hey Luna I love your content! I love that your better now and your doing more, and I can't wait to see what you do in the future, and I can't wait for the final episode of calamity! I'm sure it's going to be crazy!
personally I think Dunamancy seems to be more powerful than Divine and Arcane cuz that shit can bendy reality and mess with space and time. Like the video BTW also I think the crator found in Aeor must have been the emissary going off like a magic nuke or a beacon for some powerful divine beam.
I don't think anyone has made mention... are we going to talk about the creator of the halls of Halas, Halas himself (the happy fun ball from C2) was that sick child Trist healed?
i wonder if halas, the boy that the everlight saved saved, is indeed halas lutagran from campaign 2 who created the super happy fun ball, aka the hierloom sphere. he was a powerful wizard who dissapeared during the calamity. probably not him, but would be cool if it was
Excellent video as always, Luna! Small request: is there any way you could add video stabilization during your editing process? The shaking off the camera kinda makes me dizzy. Thanks for all you do for the fans/community!
Been watching Campaign 2 and in it there is reference to a person named Halas that had an orb that they traveled into and fought a dragon? Wonder if its the same guy . . .
Thought about that as well, but he is only listed to have aged just over 50 years according to the wiki. Yet the ball itself is such an advanced contraption that it makes me wonder if it was Aeorian tech
Hallis is the name of the kid, not Halas. He is also not the right age, Halas likely would've already been in the sphere at this point, being that he was around during the Age of Arcanum, not 100 years after the start of Calamity.
Back again with rookie critter questions (and thanks yet again for helping guide me through stuff). On that very last bit…I don’t understand. Were they saying that the did the show before they did the intro? 🤷♂️
I know that there are some people who don't like it when they missed a context due to their lack of lore knowledge. But, as someone who can spend hours in wikis after(and while) watching an episode, I've been loving Downfall
Wouldn't an offshoot of a god who wants to do/be better/different in their view not just be reflecting an opinion/thought of the god that created them though? That feeling is already in the actual god, but they choose not to choose it essentially. But in this other form, maybe it's safer for this piece of their self to explore it a little more, knowing that they are still bound to whatever ultimate choice the god would make. Changing due to their experiences seems more like what the angels were doing, rather than the avatars or whatever the PCs are in this. Interesting food for thought either way!
My theory about Ayden is that he is actually the son of the Dawn Father's mortal form, and was told to lie about who he is to the other gods for some reason.
Nope! But I think the other 'matons know he's got a special soul in there, not just normal sentience like them so maybe it's not like an official station and just something they call him?
@@SethRGray Did they ever establish when the Aeormatons gained rights as sentient beings? We know they did at some point, maybe Silahas is the one who lead that movement. If that is the case, then that makes the outcome of this night even more tragic. It also sets up the Aeormatons as like a second race for the Archheart to be a patron to along side the elves.
@@Luboffin makes sense. Could have been a happenstance that brennan picked that name. I cant imagine matt picking the name halas to be used in the show without everyone bat chesting over the happy fun ball
I’m so sorry about the camera shaking, I didn’t realise I was bumping my camera stand. I promise I’ll fix it for the next video!

YES! Abubakar is so freaking good.
Just remembered in Mighty Nein, Matt saying it looks like someone punched Aeor out of the sky. A giant god bomb makes sense
I really think we needed more than three episodes for this. Even just one more would have given it more room to breathe
I totally agree~ it would also give more flesh to the city too

Am I the only one who heard 'Halas' the first time they said Hallis and did a double take?
I thought the same thing. I’m hoping that it’s just being pronounced differently. But it would be awesome if this was actually Halas.

Yup! Exactly my thoughts as well. Hallis being Ludinus’ birth name, and having this motivation is so delightful.
Oooh very nice idea, and I THINK his mother was actually described as elven. Not certain but pretty sure!
This is a cool theory. I think Ludinus came from Molaesmyr rather than Aeor according to established lore, but that could be a lie he spread on purpose.
I'm absolutely loving the fact that the gods are being portrayed as good/bad or above good and bad. This has been fantastic to watch unfold since C2.

Changing due to their experiences seems more like what the angels were doing, rather than the avatars or whatever the PCs are in this. Interesting food for thought either way!
is hallis is halas y’all??? that little boy got sent into the happy fun ball didn’t he???
4X could also double in meaning as having 4 times as many arms as a humanoid.
My theory about Ayden is that he is actually the son of the Dawn Father's mortal form, and was told to lie about who he is to the other gods for some reason.
It would make sense, because he very much has a Jesus Christ vibe to him, so that could have been an inspiration for Nick to explore.
I might have missed it. Did they ever explain why the other Aeormatons call Silahas the Chosen One?
Nope! But I think the other 'matons know he's got a special soul in there, not just normal sentience like them so maybe it's not like an official station and just something they call him?
@@SethRGray Did they ever establish when the Aeormatons gained rights as sentient beings? We know they did at some point, maybe Silahas is the one who lead that movement. If that is the case, then that makes the outcome of this night even more tragic. It also sets up the Aeormatons as like a second race for the Archheart to be a patron to along side the elves.
It's been so much fun

No shout out for halas = creator of happy fun ball halas? Or are they spelled differently
They were spelled and pronounced differently so I chalk it up to coincidence but I could be wrong!
@@Luboffin makes sense. Could have been a happenstance that brennan picked that name. I cant imagine matt picking the name halas to be used in the show without everyone bat chesting over the happy fun ball
How sentient are celestials because they went straight to treason instead of like oh truce. I'm going down to exandria and learning how to cook.
They were made for 1 purpose. They only know one thing
@@annawest2869 then how could they perform a treason if fight war is all they are. Figure they would go. Truce? Rawr continues fighting.
It depends on the celestial. But A Planetar is *extremely* intelligent. Lowest mental stat being a 19.
I feel like Ayden is the Dawnfather's son or offspring made from "the light of his image"
XXXX is likely an ozzy booze reference. It's definitely referenced in Warhammer Fantasy as Bugman's XXXXXX.
8:05 could be a terry pratchet nod in the disk world series XXXX is a content
Arch-heart is horrible.
Hellas will become the archmage that will create the halls of Hellas, the orb that the Mighty Nein adventure into
