Alright, so to justify my claims easily because I can type item names, The book of the Guilty - overseen by velka indictment slips - add names to the book Velka's Talisman - uses int (probably a moon witch of sin, right sun fam) Gwyndolin's Talismin - matches material for Duke's archive's catalyst and Sealer's Catalyst. Sealer's Mask - Massive resolve, abandoned by 2 of the 3 members. Remedy by Yulva the Sealer (Blighttown) addresses bleed and poison, Resist Curse, cures curse build up. I think Lautrec discovered that the goddess he worshipped in Carim was a false deity when he came upon Gwenevere (check where the armor of favor is found. It's after Ornstein & Smough. Hey, Smough, ground bones of his victims, sounds like the butchers down in the depths, which also sounds like Maneater Mildred in blighttown. Do you think the wannabe knight of gwyn who hangs out with the washed up dragonslayer in Anor Londo guarding something that isn't real might be related to his brother, Dragonslayer Gough? The names are like, right on, and I think Executioner Smough being a younger brother who's like, looking up to his older brother and trying to fit in by hanging out with Ornstein and maintaining an illusion over Anor Londo is kinda sweet. It would be a shame if someone were to unmask those deities. The firstborn and lastborn child of gwyn, there are two distinct miracles. Sunlight Blade, Darkmoon Blade, both demand faith. Gwyndolin likely abandoned his mother, Velka, and the Sealers were an attempt at obfuscating the religious order of Velka. This aligns Darkstalker (notice the name, stalker of the dark, vs Darkmoon, a reference to a celestial body (If only I could be so grossly incandescent)). The Lord's Blade Cieran, the third knight of Gwyn (Artorias is the fourth, but that guy really phoned in his performance, tbh. He literally didn't even bring his silver pendent with him when he went to fight Manus, the owner of the Broken Pendent, not to be confused with my pendant which is to comfort travellers with fond memories. We'll get to Manus eventually, I'm sure. Vow of Silence. A secret rite of Velka found near the occult ember. Anastacia does not speak. Vamos wears a crown descended from royalty in the catacombs as the blacksmith. He works with flame embers. Pretty close to a flame god, right? The image on the effigy shield talks about an ill fated plot to steal from Nito. That sounds like Pinwheel and the Rite of Kindling. This allows maidens to be abandoned in the tomb of the giants to create firekeepers, and that's why Anastacia has broken legs. Patches has the Brass Halberd, which is a weapon of the way of white, but he hates clerics. Weird. Lautrec receives word that Petrus abandoned Reah, and comments about the nubile cleric. Weird. Also, Petrus talks about how she's a purebred and the player could do as they'd like with her. Also weird. Oswald witnesses Petrus kill Reah and comments that he, much like the player, is soaked in guilt. This is the heads up that we can execute Petrus. For it is the role of Velka to define sin, and mete out punishment. And then send her son, Gwyndolin, to send his blades of the darkmoon (ripoff of the Lord's Blade, which, I mean, Gwyndolin is really trying to take up the mantle, but it's also way more that he knows what to do with) Anyways, thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to sharing more about the story of Dark Souls in the next one! By the way, sorry for everyone that was left behind. Should've praised the sun a little harder, I s'pose. Make America Woke Again
