    What I find interesting is that banished knights have a horn-esqu curve on their right shoulders. And have the power to call upon storms. Both wind and ice. Maybe they're loosely related to the hornsent?

      Yeah but look at the level of connections they have to dragons and how connected dragons are to storms

      The whole arena of Commander Gaius is filled with banished knight armor/corpses. That scene looks more like a slaughter then 2 armies fighting, maybe that was the betrayal the hornboyz talk about, Marika telling them to meet and link their armies there to go and fight the fire giants toghedaaa, BAM, Gaius falls like a nuke on them, messmyboy&co. Comes after and poke the survivors, Marika closes the land în Shadow, the end.

    It's pretty explicitly stated that the lightning, ice, and wind abilities are because of the divine beast's association with storms. The reason fire isn't amongst them is because it's not typically associated with storms. Weather literally brings wind, ice, and lightning directly from the sky. Storms can cause fires but it's not like fire actually rains from the sky during storms.

    Do you think Commander Niall has a connection with the hornsent? His armor has horns on it, and he fights with storms, frost, AND lightning attacks.

    It's possible that the "Divine Bird" Ornis' ash is referencing is the Stormhawk King. Whatever the true origins of Stormveil, I think it definitely came from this same culture of crucible worship. So many places and people have ties to different aspects of worship of the crucible and to storms that it's really difficult to decipher a timeline. I would really love to figure out how the Hornsent culture, the Crucible Knights and Godfrey, and the beastmen and dragons of Faruum Azula are all intertwined.

    We need an explanation of bugs! Aspect of the Crucible incantations invoke forms of beasts, amphibians and even plants, but not bugs? Are bugs separate from the crucible? Then how come hornsent folks become flies? Why do kindred of rot have humanoid arms? I can't make sense of bugs!

    • @waveburner1254
      @waveburner1254 2 месяца назад +4

      I Imagine that bugs are associated with the Outer God of Rot and therefore "impure" in the eyes of the Golden Order. As is the Crucible itself and it's worshippers or kin. Crucible Knights, Misbegotten, and maybe even the Kindred of Rot.
      Although the Kindred have no Connection to the Crucible they are a thorn in the eyes of the order. Separate from everything else. With a god of their own.

      Thing is. His worship of the crucible seems to be a different sect, focused more on physicality rather than elemental power. Look at the incantations of the crucible knights, most involve mutation and changing the body in one way or another. While Godfrey himself uses only his monstrous strength.

      Definately not. For one, he was originally a barbarian from the wasteland tribes, not a member of hornsent society. And given his lack of horns he would not have been allowed to join the ranks of horned warriors.
      His connection to the crucible through the crucible knights under his command seems more like an acknowledgment of its power rather than any sort of worship.

    off topic question, if the fingers were responsible for gifting shadows from the greater will, but then learn that the fingers were cut off from the greater will, where do the shadows come from and what role do they play now? Also how are some fingers born as weak finger creepers that are hostile to us, and some are born as the two fingers of great power and don't try kill us on sight

    I'm curious why the 2nd lion uses Death Blight. There's no other real connection to Death in this ritual or its practitioners. Especially when it's in a place more connected to Rot than Death.

    Honestly it would be pretty interesting to see the divine lion at it,s full power. And for clarification: have you seen the devonia-s centaur-like crusable incantetion?well to perform a lion dance the dacncers had to have (in total) two legs to mimic the lion as well as two free hands to hold the mask, and now imagen a divine beast dance performed with added use of crusable incantetion of centaur

    There is a theory that the lions we see in places like redmane castle are the divine lions. When you look at their models they have horns in their manes.

      They are definitely closer to the crucible. I don't think they're quite divine, but maybe they're the offspring of the divine lions. Their shackles could indicate they were raised in captivity.
