My favourite book was the one where the guy has his men around the table for dinner, and knows one of them has betrayed him. He waits until they have all eaten before telling them all that he knows of the plot and has poisoned only the traitor's food - whilst the antidote is in either a wine vessel or dessert or some such. The guilty party immediately dives for the antidote and guzzles it down. Only then, does the man reveal that he wasn't _exactly_ sure which one betrayed him, and so he launched a trap. Turns out, the food was never poisoned, and the "antidote" was indeed the poison all along. In one fell swoop the man was able to not only identify his enemy, but deliver his punishment simultaneously. Absolute legend.

A bit of lore behind that, Our heroes in every game aren't born under any of the star signs on the standing stones, they are technically born under The Prisoner sign. The Warrior takes away the Prisoner's skills, the Thief takes away their possessions, and the Mage takes away their identity. When The Prisoner is freed (and the character customized) it is their symbolic act of becoming anything they desire and being unbound by the Fate of the Aurbis. There are a lot of pages that explain it better than me, but that's the basics.

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

I've been working on a universe for almost 9 months now (longer than some people work on their children) and basic backstory; monarchy was overthrown cause the king burnt his 6yo son alive, all the records for the rulers before then were destroyed, only folk tales and records in other places survived. So now, if I want to chuck in some cool ancient hero I can, and just have that be fine, and if I want to leave 7000 years of a blank slate; I can. Records got destroyed all the time throughout history. If it wasn't something undeniable and important enough to be documented, then it's unlikely that it'll be recorded, and if it is, it's even more unlikely that everyone will have the same version. Make it inconsistent. Make things be forgotten. Whether you know the truth in your head or not; preach to faulty record keeping. Get wild. Have fun with it.

[@Gejmi]

Just to add on your comment from a different perspective. Think of it this way: Imagine that you knew you will continue to live on for an absurd amount of years... 400 000 years let's say! Would you keep your phone as a memento to this era? Keep it and make sure it survives another 1000 years so that at one point you can sell it as a historical artifact, or preach to your great great grea x100 grandchildren about the age that to them would be equal to a stone age culture for us, or even better, it would be magic to them if there was a big cataclysm or sth? No, you wouldn't! It's an everyday object that serves it's purpose. Heck, you wouldn't even remember most "epic moments of history" in a lifespan of 400 000 years.

[@Yal_Rathol]

@@rizahawkeyepierce1380 especially considering that tolkien was a linguist and not a writer by trade, meaning he spent a lot of time in screaming matches with everyone who edited his books, because he was making up words and language structures as he wrote and had to convince every publisher that they were legitimate and intentional. he also apparently stated that he wrote the books in such a way as to make a movie based on them impossible, but that might be apocryphal. so the lord of the rings is obtuse on purpose.

Hello again, Brian. I have come to you once more to provide 3 reasons for why you should consider calculating the amount of calories Kirby has consumed since 1992 (Dream Land). 1) Like most of your videos, this topic would address one of the most perplexing elements of video games: the caloric content of every single character, item, and inhale-able object across every installment of the Kirby franchise. 2) Determining these numbers would allow you to track which games provide the most calories for Kirby and what his metabolic rate might be. If you can determine this, you might be able to explain how he can absorb objects while still being able to retain his perfect form. 3) This final reason is most of all important. On this day 27 years ago, on April 27th, 1992, our pink lord and lovely savior came into being. Your video would not only be a belated appeasement to an all-consuming god, but it would be the only proper gesture of recompense. I write this for your safety, Brian. You are a treasure, invaluable to your viewers and the wider game culture you contribute to. However, I fear you are in danger of the Pink One’s beautiful wrath. In the event that you miss (or ignore) this entreatment, I will post it in every Unraveled video. Your lowly subscriber, Jack P.S. The final-final reason is that I have Kirby's phone number.

Also the sermons of Vivec are a master class in metaphorical analysis.
