EFFLUVIUMWRITING: we love honored madman everybody say thank you honored madman
TheLucasblanes: In a sea of Vaati look-alikes, everybody trying to sound super cult and knowledgeable, your videos really stand out. Your mockable style and jokes along a truly thoughtful analysis of the lore is both fun and interesting. Great job!
livchamps9573: cant blame these dudes.. i pray at the altar of the bud
mannytprimeministerofthemanate: I’m pretty sure there is a hornsent spirit that says they put people inside pots so they can be reborn as saints. The ‘shamans’ apparently had a special property to their flesh that made so it would blend and mix better with others. Essentially the shamans were enslaved and breed with the sole purpose of taking part in this potting ritual. If there was ever a reason for marika to went to exterminate the hornset, revenge for her people seems to be it. Though I don’t know in what way she was allied to the hornset for her to betray them in the first place.

turnipmanz1754: Your theory of Bonny village not being the inciting incident makes sense
It’s possible that marika learned how to become a god from the horned grandam and somehow sacrificed many hornsent (hornsent corpses make up the divine gate and it’s said that marika betrayed them) taking her to the lands between and making her a god. The hornsent in retaliation jarred her home village because marika herself was out of reach. After becoming an established god with children marika learned of her people’s fate sending messmer as revenge and the rest is history
I realize there’s no direct dialogue from ghosts supporting this it’s just a theory
anjeljasso8979: In regards to Omen nightmares, if what they see is horned figures laughing and whatnot, what if they are seeing their ancestors during times of revelry, but because of their culture/environment they feel haunted by these images as opposed to invigorated by them. Seems to me like Marika is weaponizing generational trauma
kaizenpb8458: I remember hearing, years ago before Elden ring was even close to coming out, that it was gonna be a game about white hair versus red hair or some shit.
iamthereddemon20: Horned madman
ultimatthias: The DLC really fries my brain when it comes to the timeline, especially the birth placement of Melina and Messmer, but one thing I've been cooking lately is that Marika's war against the giants likely preceded the conflict with the Hornsent. After all, the Fell God appears to be a common enemy of them both, so maybe they worked together to thwart the Fire Giants. The "betrayal" kind of merits some sort of relationship between the two groups, maybe the war against the north was that. This is also potentially why the Zamor have been discarded by the Golden Order - they control the ice aspect of the storm, could they be Hornsent warriors? They also used curved swords. Something to consider
gabriellecollier8127: I love this guy. He delivers the lore in such a personable, hilarious way, like he's just brainstorming it with a friend, instead of delivering it in that boring-ass, essay-style format. Lore hunters need to stop trying to sound like professors. Just gimme.
devonwarmack4726: Thank you honored madman. You are my favorite content maker as of right now. Got me through so much work and tedious tasks.
Love your personality. Feel like you’re a friend fr.
I’m glad you’re doing something you love. Or it seems that way at least.
Keep it up my guy.
