grayhat_9x: We NEED to talk about how underrated Miss Chalice videos are
lixthewitch6718: It was very hard for me to watch this at first because I was pleasantly distracted by the Godskin Albinauric watching in the background.
worldlinezero4783: Wow, last time I was this early Marika's people were still getting put into jars
hereisanoriginalname: "Lord of the Erdtree....Lord of Marika...You too deserve to face the reckoning."
The vitriol that drips off his tongue in that moment, man. The voice actor for Hornsent is a standout even among an incredibly well--directed cast.
"O Miquella...please redeem our clan."
It's sad - in that ending, he even comes to terms with Miquella's promise, decides that redemption for his people can come hand in hand with accepting one of Marika's progeny as a new god. Perhaps the fading out of his vengeance had him cling onto newfound purpose, which unfortunately you snuff out with the rest of Leda's seekers.
tagginondawal3961: Wow, my notifications actually worked for once! I'm sure this will be another amazing lore vid!
VergilsHellspawn: Interesting how horns seem to be manifest more messily on Omens vs. Hornsent. Especially when comparing the curseblades vs. the bog standard sewer Omen.
Smolmothball: I burst out laughing for several minutes the first time i heard hornsent grandam call marika a wanton strumpet
TheTangeriner: If you study the old lady's hair and garb headgear, it does seem akin to Nanaya's - the veil of the eyes section too. I wouldn't say it's so farfetched that Nanaya was a hornsent by origin.
kidfazer: Lore mommy uploaded? I’m sleeping good tonight
fablesgrave1472: The words of Lore Mommy linger here… Like if you’d care to listen
airiquelmeleroy: Nepheli's Storm Hawk king just gained a whole new meaning. Was the storm hawk an actual divine bird?
danprentice7073: I do love how unique the tower and it's culture are, it's really unlike any other location I've seen. BTW your Rellena cosplay was awesome I don't know how long that must of taken to make but it looks cool as hell.
opheliarosewood7847: I really hate how a lot of people didn't understand the hornsent at all, and genuinely see the story as "Hornsent bad guys, messmer good guys". The cycle of violence between the shamans, hornsent, and messmers army are meant to be that - a cycle. It is a trail of revenge and religious ferver that causes atrocity after atrocity until theres nothing left but vengeful people to make more atrocities.

The point was never that hornsent are inherently evil, but that those at large did evil things and every single hornsent got punished for it. It's a lesson in total violence and 'scorched earth' philosophies. The hornsent had evil practices and did terrible things, yet it is a tragedy that their entire people is near extinct due to a mass slaughter by a foreign army. Both the shamans and the hornsent are a tragedy, despite one slaughtering the other. And just the same if another group rised and slaughtered every golden order citizen, that would still be a tragedy as well.

The cycle of violence is awful, no matter who it is directed at. THATS the point, not "Hornsent kill shamans, we kill hornsent, good ending"
But all of that to say - thank you Miss Chalice.
gravios24: When you talked about the Hornsent statues that pour out spirit dust, it reminded me of a miracle that takes place in Orthodox Christian Churches. Icon's of Saint's will sometimes be caught streaming Myrrh from the paintings. There are videos and pics of this happening. And, like the statues, it's believed the Saints are still alive, and that the Icons are representation of the prototypes they are based on (the Saints themselves) thus allowing communication through prayer to the Saints.
JKurayami: Lions Storm = Representations of Godfreys Power. I wonder if he was a Northerner that took up the traditions of the Hornsent, becoming a Divine Beast warrior (he does the stomps), and took on Godfrey as his name so he could be accepted to properly be shipped with their upcoming Saint Marika. They are shipped, and Godfrey takes his closest buds to be his Crucible Knights. Godfrey takes on Serosh like Radan does Miquella. And we know he had no shortage of horned lions. I keep wondering if Serosh was the Storm Lord.
shadowstep9: Its also possible that the omen are hornsent reborn from the erdtree, and the nightmares that plague them are of Mesmer's crusade of slaughter.
