      It makes sense sadly. Kalach was forced to do terrible things in a war she never even wanted to be in. I have talked to a lot of Vietnam Vet that had this feeling too. Regardless of the war or the country, it makes sense to connect. Hell I have never been in war, but I feel so much connection to this to with PTSD from "war" with certain parts of society and things I have been though. Take care of yourself

    Full Lyrics:
    Far off on the risen road
    Sits demonsbane
    Plagued by the scars and
    The thoughts that remain
    A way to resolve but
    No way to forget
    Unchained and Unshackled
    But bound by regret
    Twisted in Torment
    As you waged his war
    You were adorned in
    The weight of their souls
    How to atone
    And to wash what you've seen
    Hands forced by another
    But stained all the same
    Clawed up from below
    You escaped from the nine
    Revenge and Redemption
    Both tread the same lines
    Twisted in Torment
    As you waged his war
    You were adorned in
    The weight of their souls
    Mistress of War
    After you made them fall
    You were adorned in
    The weight of us all
    Twisted in Torment
    As you waged his war
    You were adorned in
    The weight of their souls
    Mistress of War
    After you made them fall
    You were adorned in
    The weight of us all

    For those of you who have also run the adventure Descent Into Avernus, there's something to be said about how this song quietly highlights how much Zariel and Karlach's stories have in common and how much of a foil Karlach is for Zariel's fall from grace. I think it's absolutely a shame that we didn't get any scenes with Zariel in the game itself, because there's something poignant that could've been done there.

    I'm really thankful for a song that actually goes in depth into Karlach as a character. All other fan songs I've heard are always extremely peppy and gloss over all the pain she went through and the turmoil she actually feels when she's not masking it all. This song captures it perfectly.

    For people who aren't familiar with wider DnD lore, "His War" might be confusing, since Karlach served Zariel, who is a she. However, I presume this refers to the fact that Zariel herself serves Asmodeus, and that you could say that the Blood War is "His" war, since he's one of the main interested parties. One of the theories is that Asmodeus began this war to ensure his own ascension to godhood and control over the lower planes, which he is largely successful in.

    • @dropkickpiper3204
      @dropkickpiper3204 Год назад +8

      I’ve said so elsewhere, but I also want to point out that to that effect, if you just change a scant few details this song is about Zariel herself being bound to Asmodeus.
      The adventure Descent Into Avernus (a direct tie in to BG3) shows that when Zariel fell from the Heavens, she did it because she’d attempted to force a peace in the Bloodwar herself. Her forces were dropping like flies, so she turned to Asmodeus in desperation.
      In fact, while it is apparently not the canon ending to BG3, in that adventure if the players manage to make a sufficiently strong case, they can convince her to take up her old weapon and start walking toward redemption. (Granted, the way the adventure suggests you do it is very silly, and I don’t like it).
      Anyway, the point is that Zariel and Karlach are way more alike than people realize and that’s something I desperately hope gets explored in any future BG media.

      The war first started when asmodeus and the legions of angels were sent to fight the demons of the abyss. The corruption of the abyss transformed all the angels in the war into devils. The devils were banished from heaven, from their home and the only way back is to become a god. Heaven started the war and punished all of their soldiers with banishment. Asmodeus continues the war so that he can become a god

      I would give it a shot if its not too bad of a rig. Just cap your fps to 30 or 44
      and look up optimization guides for the game. Benchmarking and Zykopath have good ones.
      Its a turn based game so you really dont need high fps.
      And game's performance is much better now compared to when it launched.

    I adore the soft breatiness you sang the first part in. It seems to me (might be wrong of course) you prefer to sing more powerfully most of the time, and that does sound fantastic, don't get me wrong, I love that. But you need not hold back on the sofness either, especially when you put more force in the chorus for contrast.
    You're an extremely versatile singer and it's been exciting to watch you develop more and more

    I adore how this game has become such a cultural phenomenon. Like, it feels like it came at the right time for all of us and we all are getting more from it than most other games ever did...
