That lazuli robe goes hard
It's so freaking gorgeous!!!
Literally never noticed them but they looks so good
Looks like pajamas
I always got the feeling that Renala wasn't "locked up" exactly, and more like fenced in. Her area is very well protected with the rolling ball trap (an idea stolen from the Eternal Cities, which the Caria have some link to...) and a Carian knight, which I doubt was simply allowed to walk in and defend his queen.
I feel like the sorcerers couldn't get to her, but she also refused to come out, so they just let her stay in the library, devoid of political power.
It was definitely a, "it's better to leave her alone" situation. The knight was there to deter them from doing any literal harm.
The ball trap is actually conjured by the academy sorcerers. You can see them when you climb the deck atop the hall before you fight moongrum with a pumpkin head. So it actually implies that these sorcerers are also protecting Rennala.
AND!!! If you kill the said sorcerers, the ball trap would go off. This further proves that indeed, the academy sorcerers are protecting the Carian Queen.
@@kenanperez3151 or that they don't want anyone to disturb her, break her from the amber egg so she actually starts leading again.
@@square-table-gaming not disturbing Rennala would make sense. After all, if the remaining sorcerers in the Academy are those that are loyal to the Carian Royal Family, then it would make sense that they wouldn't want anybody to disturb Rennala as per Ranni's request. Remember Ranni's dialogue: "Mother's rich slumber shall not be disturbed by thee."
6:20 the heavy attack of the sword is the same as the carian knight sword, so what if the best Lazuli sorcerers were then chosen to become new carian knights to protect the royal family?
In the early hours of the game I remember wondering about the lore of the scarab beetles you find around the land’s especially the invisible ones
I am always amazed at how little I would have actually known about this game without channels like yours. Every time you break down a new class I am amazed at how some things that meshed in my brain as being the same group can be different and make the story even more complete. I wish I had the patience to go and read every detail and see everything there is, but for that I am very grateful for your channel to exist! Even if I haven't played the game in a few months I keep on learning why I loved it so much when I began and still love it now.
I love the robe. It's so freaking pretty.
The moon represents intelligence over faith as it was in origin that the sun gives power to Trees thru its golden rays.
Radagon left Renala for the sun and his faith in the tree (the golden order).
The moon, including Ranni are in contradiction to the golden sun’s power…
Lazuli understood stars are far away suns, and accepted them as a “more powerful nighttime observation” of the gods…for Queen Renala possibly.
Is this why so many “stars” have fallen on the lands between, why Raddan has tried to halt them, and/or like the “sun” are these fallen stars the reason the dead are able to be consumed for power enabling greater beasts?…was it the tree taking souls and shedding them anew as light all along or was there a fallen star literally eating tarnished and collecting their runes as cash to level up into the Elden beast…
Burger King having his Blue Period
This channel's dedication to quality content is very apparent. Please don't slow down!
The burger king of all time!
The king was a student at raya lucaria before starting an international burger franchise
2:53 I really need to take better observation of my surroundings. The number of times I go up those steps and never noticed this is hilarious.
Maybe Lazuli will be an DLC Boss. I found Similarities between those Graven School Balls and those Metalball we find in the Eternal City. Both are made out of Humans, that explains why we see those Corpses stretching from the Ground.
That would be an interesting topic for a video. The Graven Schools are so bizarre that they naturally invite speculation.
Dude set a doctor pepper on the dark moon greatsword & hit L2, instant cold d.p. lifehack.
Besides the endings and what they mean for the lands between I also wanted to see a theory video on the primevil current and its lessons along with the connection of the graven masses and how they correlate to Sorceress Sellen, The graven witch. I have a few theories myself and floated around a few discords and reddits but not much stuck
I always thought that those from the Lazuli conspectus are candidates to become Carian Knights, that would explain their presence in Caria Manor. Besides is worth noting that there are some unique twinsage sorcerers in the game that have the Lazuli face and the Olivinus face, what does that mean? and why some graven balls also have only these two faces? ... Maybe combining the moon and stars masks is even going deeper in power/heresy?
Those that remain in the academy are Carian loyalists. You can even see it in the environment story telling. Rennala's Portrait and Regal Scepter are still displayed before you enter the debate parlor. Her portrait can be seen in the debate parlor proper as well and the huge moon globe still hangs low. A Carian Knight defends her. And, the said lazuli conspectus who is loyal to her family is still present in the academy.
Not necessarily. If they were they'd likely be attacked in sight by the other sorcerers. The carian Knight is left alone because he's considerably more powerful than them.
@@square-table-gaming
What I'm saying is ALL the sorcerers in the academy are carian loyalists who remained to protect Rennala.
@@kenanperez3151 the lore states they took the academy for themselves. They sent the cuckoo's to murder the Royal family at carian Manor.
Here's my theory. The Academy rebelled against the Carian Royal Family and failed. Rennala wasn't "locked" in the grand library. She chose to be there in solitary confinement due to her grief. If she were locked up, Ranni would not be able to place her protective spell in the grand library.
So here's the thing, the only thing we know is that the academy rebelled against Caria. Period. But who has the motive to expel the royal family and use Rennala's weakened state to do so? The adherents of the primeval current. Remember, under Rennala's governance of the Academy, the extreme study of the primeval current was prohibited (I say extreme and not the study all in all because I believe Rennala, to some extent, allowed a bit of primeval sorcery given that she uses comet azur) and such prohibition made a faction of the academy sorcerers go against Rennala. This is where Sellen and the two grandmasters come into play. The three were known to be the extremists of primeval sorcerery and for doing so, drew the ire of Rennala which got them expelled. Surely they had some sorcerers who agrees with them. My theory is that the sorcerers who were team sellen still had contact with the expelled witch and when the latter learned about Rennala's weakened state, she, alongside her felow primeval sorcery adherents, took the opportunity to try expel Rennala and the royal family. They were the ones who hired the knights of the cuckoo who we all know eventually lost.
Heresy has less negative connotations in the eastern cultures compared to the european one. Especially in politheistic religions, sometimes it just means adding another god to an existing pantheon, or telling a new story. It rarely caused any brutality, especially compared to the massacres European dogma could lead to, like in Raskol (which is also subtly tackled in Elden Ring).
It's a bit of a generalization, sure, but I believe all the mentions of "heresy" in Elden Ring were meant to be only seen as those harmless "deviations" from the norm. However many players can't help but connect the word "heresy" with historical tragedies.
In the Lands Between, there are many sources of heresy, but only the truly blasphemous ones (those who mean harm to the religion) are directly persecuted for it (Rykard is the obvious example). Other sources of heresy are rather accepted, judging by the dialogues of Miriel, Corhyn, or even the existance of Dragon Worship within Leyndell. This is why the heretical Moon Worship was not only respected, it was taught in the Lazuli Conspectus, and the moon-worshipping Carian family could become the leaders of the Academy. Of course up until a point, but it's hinted that the fall of Caria is tied to Rennala's depression and madness. The pushback on her heretical beliefs might play a role, but to a far lesser extent.
Im new to the Elden Ring (my first souls game btw) community but it's kinda funny Im making inside the Academy of Raya Lucaria were on of these lazuli dudes are patrolling the halls! Brilliant video btw!
I came because while mix matching sets, I noticed that Lazuli's Sword and Lusat's Staff have very similar aesthetic designs with the exception of the swords gemstones having a feint glow.
My theory is that lazuli conspectus was founded by Rennala’s father. If the crone looked out for Ranni, and was her grandmother, it would make sense. Plus the use of “Carian House” or family is used a ton but Rennala was their only queen? There needs to be more of a bedrock of this family woven into Liurnia for that to make sense. Why would someone found a heterodox school and fight to have said school respected if not related to the carian line? Food for thought.
Gonna start using your lore videos as inspiration for my future cosplay builds, im out of idea already 😆
If you do, send them along. We'd love to showcase stuff our community does if it's at all related to the channel!
@@square-table-gaming Thanks for offering ! I just like to fight bosses with themed builds, nothing groundbreaking or worth sharing i'm afraid :p
@@BastosFC2 sure it is!
A theory for why Renala is simply locked up as opposed to being executed (I'm assuming the Academy doesn't know about Ranni, technically her iconic doll form is a discovery you make that surprises Rogier who knows all about the Shattering): politics. The treaty with Leyndell was made with Renala, if the Academy executed her, there would be no treaty. Given that Morgott is the only one with a functioning army and has no conventional military rivals, the potential threat of an attack by the Capital might encourage the Academy to give Renala the kid gloves.
It’s funny I doubt any of the sorcerers all together could have beaten Rannis illusion with 80 magic resistance.
Them Haima Bros might be able to. They're physical beasts.
@@square-table-gaming video idea for the modders lol
Do we know that primeevile curent is not a outer god cause it seems like it may be a god like the formless mother
Great work!
Very interesting videos. I really love the story of Raya Lucaria. Thank you very much. I look forward to more videos about the story of Raya Lucaria, Azur and Lusat. :)
I have a question though, why do the crowns of the members look so scared or disturbed except for Sellen's crown. Her crown looks so beautiful and calm. Sorry for the question.
happy to answer any question I can. Unfortunately i cant speak to why a crown might look scared or disturbed. From the portraits of the conspectus leaders, it looks like that's just kind of their faces.
Lazuli the Witch.
Too far fetched ? Too far fetched.
Greetings from the Carrot-Man 👋🥕
My liege
I think that the decision to isolate Rennala might have as much to do with her losing her mind as a coup. That said, the second phase of her battle strongly denotes Ranni is protecting her. Also the time at which this all happened, Rykard and Radahn were not lost to their own tangents of snakedom and madness. So I think that the Lazuli Conspectus had a likely perpetuation as knowing the magic of an enemy and being better at it than they are might come into play. If they killed Rennala, they'd likely have three very pissed off demigods on their doorstep.
They'd be all:
BIG HAT!
SSSSNEK!
HORSE BOY!
By your powers combined, I am captain caria!
And Raya Lucaria would be basically a blue crystal explosion with lava trim sparkling purple with so much gravity magic juice that it will be a second floating city for the lands between to gawp up at.
I'm blue da ba dee da ba di
- Lazuli Conspectus, probabaly
what if lusat was the founder of the lazuli conspectus? and also the lazuli portrait shows the founder wielding a carian knights sword
Thumbnail los like the mma guru
Hope the second twin sage crown becomes available in the dlc
The twinsage crown depicts both sages. I believe they'd wear the same crown.
@@square-table-gamingI meant the one with lazuli and olivinus on it. The sorceres in sellia and on the academy rooftops wear it
Never knew this robe was so nice haha
Dang their robe has a meaning but since they have sword and the shields then they probably will protect the carian family but the thing i wanna ask is why the prefer the wooden sword and not use a metal sword to cast spells and that? Is there a reason why they prefet the wooden sword and not use a metal sword for hand to hand combat? And i like ur lore elden ring videos a lot!!
They probably see a lightweight sword as a better option for casting sorceries
@@square-table-gaming that's probably since that elden ring swords are kinda heavy to use and do the lore of dragonheart heart and the dragonheart communion in elden ring!! I always love this channel a lot when it comes to elden ring lore!
Next can we get the redstone conspectus?
Red glintstone actually does not have its own conspectus within raya lucaria
@@square-table-gaming I'm preety sure they were joking.
What armor set are you wearing?
Blaidd's Armor Altered with the Noble Hood
I thought so, Thank you!
Ahoy
I swearthe crowns are such a dumb design choice for headgear it is so clearly the team going "what would be weird"
My guy, idk if you've played blooborne but...
@@square-table-gaming true but i feel like 90 percent of bloodborne hats were varying types of ye old hat and the crazy came from people who had 100 percent actually gone crazy like with micolash/mensis and his big cage and such. But with elden ring it is like "We are the brightest minds of the land true geniuses of magic and intelligance. Anyway im gonna go put on my solid stone yandere obssession mask of our teacher now"
maybe they use their wooden swords as a staff in a sort of honor to Carian Sorceries? Being that they tend to focus on Swords/Blades I thought there may be a connection there.
Fantastic Video as Always! :)
Love the robe
I love saying Karolos in a deep voice and really loud
