Wait, so you think that the roots took hold during the supposed fight with the cult? For me it looked like the sight of the cult was so horrific that the army was paralyzed with fear. The cult then simply slaughtered everyone and the roots were planted afterwards and took hold of everyone. Though to be fair, it is much to interpretation. The dreaming general could also be interpreted as being unable to wake up due to his nightmares and so oversleeping the fight....
Alot of it is left to interpretation, but from what it sounds like (from the 3 quotes we have on it) the cult and the army didn't fight. They just gave up, and in their stunned state, the forest began to overgrow onto them. Allegedly they are still alive but closer to Cadavers, after not eating, or drinking or sleeping for x amount of time. Atrophied to all Hell
From what I’m understanding of this area is that the area represents the protégés unyieldingness and restlessness to discover the truth behind the crown. Sure the cultists my have had a hand in it, but remember the crown warps reality into what the wearer thinks.
For the most part, yes. But each Act is tied to certain areas, but then also ties into others is some ways. Act 2 is Resentment, which is tied to the Sprawl, the library and the fire etc. Act 3 is the Foetor, Act 4 Tangle which makes sense for the unyielding growth of nature, and perhaps the anthropy of the Army. He viewed himself as the only person who could invoke the Iron Crown, and everyone else was too weak, lazy, and unable to. Ambition does lead to pride.
trees are a sign of growth. something that can start so small, and so fragile, can last longer than most creatures. whatever feed this trees of malinge intent, to keep on protecting the mountain, must be quite the nutrient. excellent video. this, like water to a thirty plant, is refreshing. keep on growing!
More brilliant lore as always Misk, can’t wait to see what area you do next (and what I believe will be the inventible finally that will be the cult of the mountains lore)
That's a tough question. Personally, I want to say yes. It would be a costly battle but they might have been able to pull it off. With some fancy coding, we can actually pit enemies against each other and find out.
Very nice lore video! Can't wait to watch the whole series. ^^ P/s: I see you left out Champion enemies, like the Masterful Kinred or the Fallen Templar. Wish you could add them in somehow.
Figured that was going to be noticed. Yes I left off the champions because when I wrote these scripts it was before the Collector update. Might do something with them later. Who knows. In any event, thanks for watching 🙏
I’m just scared of the thought that our boi Reynauld was caught up in this.
Edit: HE LIVES!
Nah he’s probably managing his ancestor’s estate
On a positive spin: playable Revenant-Plant Crusader
Reynauld lives!

Yeah the roots seem to symbolize his obsession, how he was unwilling to let go of his desire to understand the Iron Crown.

Kingdom Soldier: *doesn't fight due to fear*
Empire of Man Soldier: "FOR SIGMAR!" *charges towards his death*
Hell yeah, we have been waiting

So much to do, so little time.
@@MiskatonicMemorialist can't wait until you do a lore dive on the feotr
So glad to see lord videos are back!!!!! Love your take on Darkest Dungeon Lore
always hype to see a new video Misk, glad to see you uploading some dd2 content
Great vid as always, the tangle might be my favourite region after the shroud, great to see it covered on this channel.
My name is the Lorax, I speak for the trees.
And the trees speak.
Like normal, it’s the walking corpses that are the problem, now go kill them.
would the forgotten Battalion beat the cultist if they didn’t give up?
