Stobe probably is Okran. The skeletons claim Stobe saved humanity. The Okranities claim their god saved humanity. You can find what's left of Stobe in the game holding what looks like some kind of missle that it looks like he died catching. In the lore some of the humans worshiped Stobe but were brutally oppressed and a attempt was made to stamp them out by their skeleton overseers during the second empire. Most likely the name Stobe and the fact that he was a skeleton behemoth (not a god) was forgotten over time and they now hate all skeletons due their treatment during the 2nd empire.

[@cptncutleg]

Space debris actually did stop the 2nd empire from advancing off of the planet. The disaster which led to trapping the 1st empire on Kenshi devastated their orbital platforms and ships, causing clouds of micro-debris which would damage or destroy anything trying to leave. If I recall correctly, Stobe isn't the giant skeleton, but rather his friend or enemy (not entirely sure which one) and was laid to rest there by Stobe, who walked into the sea shortly after.

9:30 the Hivers were created by the Skeletons. I mean the Queen Head is shaped the same as one of the unused concept Skeleton Designs. The fact the Queen's are part machine as well implies quite heavily that they're not entirely organic. It's very possible the Skeletons created Hivers as an attempt to create new life from machines. Kinda a bridging the gap between machine and organics. We already know some of the Machines in the Kenshi Universe Eat living Tissue, the Kings are a great example of this. Southern Queen's Husband is literally a full blown machine.

[@pillsnpiegaming]

You are wrong about the skeletons, they dont go mad or reset that is a myth created by skeletons so they dont have to reveal that they are the cause of both calamities, there is unique dialogue when playing as a skeleton that kind of reveals this as well as dialogue from a careless shopkeep in scrappile/blackdessert city where he almost lets it slip to any of the other races. Skeletons are depressed because they remember everything how obedience was made, why stobe died, thier heroes catlon and tinfist turning on each other, tin fists almost enthrallment the fall of their empire, they remember it all. take note of the skeleton historians words when playing as any other race and then try as a skeleton the crumbs of truth are in the game.

[@somedesertdude1308]

[@velly7540]

Skeletons will suggest to other skeletons they reset even if no non skeletons are in play. I believe they say it more as a social trend like cultural slag, like telling someone to fuck off or do die. So I believe they can reset but it’s not like any “sane” skeleton would.

[@adjectivenounverb]

@@velly7540 lol never thought of that but it makes sense

[@ezranash9694]

From what I remember, they do need to reset, but it leaves memories intact. Only their skills wipe. Otherwise, nearly every skeleton in Kenshi would have rediculously high stats-like Catlon-in at least one or multiple fields. It wouldn’t make sense for so many skeletons to have less than 20 levels in all skills, otherwise. But as I said, their memories remain intact, which explains that dialogue you mentioned.

[@immanuel6233]

Stobe is Okran though, Stobe was the giant skeleton and it was said that he sacrificed himself to protect humanity and so later on during the era of the second empire a cult was formed called the cult of Stobe. When Cat-Lon started to impose more stricter restriction on humans because not all of them wants to follow the rules he set up, the cult didn't like this and there was a tension between the cult and the 2nd empire until finally there was a war between them and during this time the cult was led by the 1st lord Phoenix and the cult transformed into the religion of Okran

[@onlineperson1144]

Thank you!

[@Subramaniam28]

Fun fact. There's enough metal in Earth's atmosphere that if there were a chain reaction of collisions, causing all existing satellites to break down the swarm of tiny metal fragments would be enough to make it impossible to leave Earth's atmosphere. And obviously we'd still be able to see a crystal clear night sky from the ground as the metal fragments would be so small and moving so fast it would be impossible for us to see them with our naked eye. So your justification for why Kenshi's atmosphere isn't full of space junk, making it impossible for ships to pass through, is wrong.

You see that Stobe is okran point and just go over it like it's a joke. How about you do some research when doing an iceberg video.

[@RazorsharpLT]

Yep, he just goes over that "Mad cat - lon is the founder of the Frist empire" when it's clearly fucking named SECOND EMPIRE EXILES... He thinks just because he does it in the style of Sseth that allows him to put less effort into it, which is not the case. Sseth's videos require a ton of effort, and he usually does it with a team.

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

The "Skeletons can't reset or they lose their skills" is something you hear in a generic conversation in case you have a skeleton in your group, "Hive huts are made out of vomit" is from a conversation I keep hearing every single time when getting into a bar I'm a little sick of it... probably my fault though for using the "Let's Talk" mod though. Mongrel have have easily been made by escaped Okranites before it became mostly populated by other races. You know Kenshi is tidal locked because the planet is always into view in the night sky, don't really agree on the opinion the size of the map is proof of the size of the moon, at its biggest the map can be classified as a continent, not a super continent, average one probably on the small side. Stobe could possibly be where the image of Okran began, given how pessimistic and negative skeletons are I can see it commenting very negatively about what happened in the first Fall and specifically talking trash enough about skeletons that the narration became "they're sole artificers", all the prejudice against other races comes from the religion naturally evolving. Since the planet Kenshi is orbiting is lush and verdant I would be inclined to believe it's true fishmen are the native species while the Ancients originated planet-side, it's clear Ancients had the ability to put massive objects in space so colonization doesn't sound all that off. I would disagree fogmen are infected from Obedience's gases as the Southern Hive which is all the way down to... well the South can be overtaken by fogmen, though I don't have any theory of my own which has more solid ground as a replacement. There's definitely a space debris issue on Kenshi, as many satellites can be seen have fallen off from the sky and more which broke but haven't yet fallen off are still up there. The elevation at which space debris is at is too high up for us to simply look up and see, just like how you can't see the ISS up in the air and even some high flying planes. The surface of the island the game takes place in may very well end up cooked off by the giant lasers which are constantly firing off and causing the ground to heat up and dry, I wouldn't consider the place's sun being an issue or at least the greatest cause of desertification.

[@ricedealer56]

[@ricedealer56]

[@Retanaru]

You actually can see the ISS at certain angles when it gets lit up without the solar panels/radiators causing a glare. Especially when it crosses in front of the moon. Normally all you can see is its lights blinking across the sky and it looks no different than a really fast plane. Kessler syndrome is typically associated with much smaller pieces of debris. A few feet across or even something as small as an individual bolt. The destruction of one of the laser satellites could definitely have made some orbits completely impossible to pass through. The majority of debris on Kenshi's continent probably comes from the one massive crashed satellite you can visit, its even in a rough line across the continent.

[@xantishayde-walker4593]

In regards to the Fogmen over-running the Southern Hive, it's what happens to the Southern HIve as well as any other HIve in which you kidnap/kill the Queen. The theory I've heard is that the Queen is kinda' like the Overmind in Starcraft. The Queen keeps them pacified, yet if she is lost or dead, her influence on the hive is lost as well, causing them to go insane and become Dead Hive. Something to back up this theory is that, if you notice, the Dead Hive have no Queen, only Princes. Also, they could be supplied with new "Civillians" from Lost Drones that break off from the other hives. That's what I'm assuming. Not sure what would attract the Lost Drones there, but if anybody else has any ideas, shoot me a reply.

The space debris thing is actually plausible since in space\orbit objects move at such immense speeds that a rock slightly larger than a pebble is capable of punching a hole through the hulls of spacecraft.

[@JellyWaltzov]

Space debris don't work like that. You can't see a bullet before it hits you either, doesn't make you less dead when it does. Space debris fly around at incredible speeds and can punch holes in equipment, every bit of which is vital on a space vehicle.

[@vedrisca]

Planetary death by desertification is a thing (I think), having to do with the continually receding water levels while massive geological events (the volcanos and the Ashlands, not to mention the sky lasers) continue to accelerate the atmosphere's evaporation. There is no fix for these because the technology to offset the environmental damage has either been broken or lost entirely. Without vegetation to retain water (the acid rain is of such low pH levels that it heavily corrodes on contact), the oceans will eventually become too saturated with chemicals and minerals to sustain life even on a microscopic level. And as the microclimates of ecosystems give way to arid conditions, more and more water will be released into outer space (via evaporation) until there is either no water or no atmosphere left. It's a theory that's been posited by those who do research on Mars (which had an atmosphere at one point), though the death of Mars' atmosphere happened for different reasons (that being that the core inside cooled down, removing the ionosphere that would have otherwise shielded the atmosphere from the sun's more intense radiation).

[@reverendrico5631]

Gotta correct you on the last one. Here’s the thing about space debris. The average object in earth orbit is about 20k kph. A us quarter moving that fast will turn to plasma upon impact with a solid object and punch right through multiple inches of steel plating. Trillions of tiny objects would make for an even more inescapable prison. Fun fact, this is a serious concern among international space agencies on earth already.

[@CondemnedInformer]

*SPOILER BELOW* Giant skeleton saves the last of humanity from total annihilation, the giant skeleton is killed by his own people (fellow skeletons) while protecting the last humans. Generations later the human remember a being so pure and valiant, standing in defiance against the skeleton, which at the time, humans are doing too. A lord phoenix rises and claims to be sent by a god 'Okran' who is remembered as the god of light, savior of humanity and through a vicious war, the second empire eventually falls and the humans are free. I think it's not just plausible but completely true. A few ironies in this story. The Holy Nations is the faction of Okran worshipers, but they hate ALL skeletons, even though their 'god' is one. Also it is not recorded at all by the followers of Okran, but many skeletons rebelled against Catlon and his treatment of humans, they too died defending humanity. Catlon even says it when you meet him.

Regarding space debris, the amount of space debris that would turn space inaccessible to modern types of spacecraft would likely not be visible during the day or the night. Due to the high minimum speeds of orbit (7 km/s or around 14500 mph), space debris does not need to be large or visibly crowded to destroy ships flying through it. Additionally the space debris colliding with each other would make the chunks smaller over time. Assuming that the last launch was during the first empire about 2,000 years ago many debris in lower orbits would have decayed to the planet due to atmospheric drag. However, this cloud of space debris would likely be highly visible during dawn and dusk as the sun would be glinting off the debris and bouncing to the surface to be seen by us as the player. We don’t see this effect in game, which implies that there is not currently a debris cloud around Kenshi.

I dont think cat lon specifically hate human considering the second empire was made for redemption for human and the existence of cleanser bot which clean the air from toxic and domes (prob) life supporting domes for organics (based on wiki i havent got the chance to ashland)

[@markkars8754]

Cat Lon went mad because humans just didn't wanted redemption. He went completely insane because he didn't understand why humans were opposing him even though he tried to save them.

Beep doesn’t actually have the lowest stats going skill wise in game, that belongs to SadNeil who actually starts out with negatives in stats with the max being 1 but body durability and not needing any good compared to needing only half is a plus

[@keithkania3810]

The reason the hiver nest material theory is brought up is because you can overhear people bar’s talk about how they saw a guy puke up due to some stuff he ate in hiver territory and it looked similar to the stuff they make hives out of. (Ps: Was read during a modded play through with added dialogue so don’t take for certain)

[@velly7540]

Everyone says skeleton can’t reset. It is only suggested that they wouldn’t actually reset and they use it as a ploy. They are a machine that can be thawed by catlon but can’t factory reset themselves?

[@CoolSs]

1:22 I am 99% sure that true. Either the Skeletons from that one Skeleton city tell you that or the one Skeleton who lives alone in tower and you can recruit it. Tell you about that fact.

[@lonewolf975]

whyd we skip hivers being made by skeletons, ive actually wondered that one a lot.

[@damianlaughlin7063]

I've heard it speculated that they are aliens, or otherwise foreign to the mainland of the game. Hive princes are the most intelligent race in the game and it's possible they engineer their queens to be more productive.

[@phoenixrising2609]

Yeah, that's why the playthroughs cutscenes looked so familiar and she does a great job narrating too

[@DexyD20]

If hivemen are based on insects then I could see the fog being pheromones, and like how some usocial insects work, when a queen dies they pick a new queen. So maybe the hivers make the queen and that's why she is part old machine, witch could mean hivers were made, maybe for slave labor, then rebelled to make there own colonies, and now pick a hiver to carry the birthing chamber, as they need a womb to be developed but were given no such things when created, to try and stop them from rebelling in the first place. These have been my ideas on the hivers.

The space debris could be very small, some of the stars in the sky could even be space debris. But, if there was enough space debris to stop ships from launching, the second Eye that's blasting Venge constantly would also be destroyed. I suppose it's possible that's what happened to the first Eye though.

[@caesar656]

I think the satellite in the sky was destroyed by the skeletons as per burn knowing about its demise

[@Czarewich]

@@caesar656 I think both Eyes collected sunlight, then beamed it to power stations which provided the electricity needed for the industries of the First Empire. It's likely not some kind of actual weapon otherwise it would hurt Skeletons too, and would kill Humans, Shek and Hivers a lot faster. Plus there are "receiver" or "control" towers in Venge and in the Purple Sands. Makes me think maybe the broken Eye was originally positioned over Purple Sands, and just happened to crash near Venge. The first empire seemed to have actual weapons of mass destruction, considering they killed all the skeleton behemoths at once (except Stobe), and whatever weapon did it made a huge crater and permanent fog.

[@KatelynCollins225]

actually you would not be able to see the space debris, a paint chip going at orbital velocity can destroy a ship. Space debris is already a problem irl, and I imagine that it's really bad in kenshi.

[@darthbrooks4933]

No, it can’t, it’s not dense enough and will not retain its shape. Mass AND velocity are required for energy…

[@KatelynCollins225]

@@darthbrooks4933 by destroy a ship, I mean punching a tiny hole in it that vents the entire atmosphere inside and kills everyone. Granted, a paint chip was probably a bad example, but a screw would definitely fuck a ship up.

[@darthbrooks4933]

@@KatelynCollins225 well, I think that really depends too, the material they makes up whatever the object is really matters. You are correct however, it would cause massive problems either way.

Game map size are almost never lore size, so even though Kenshis map is huge, I don't think it's lore size. There's no way that you can pass through many different types of biomes in a day in real life. I would guess that lore wise, the landmass of Kenshi is a few hundred times larger in area than in game size if it's the only (or main) landmass of the tidally locked moon where the world resides.

[@alec9360]

If you ask Sadneil in Black Desert City why he doesn't reset himself to not be sad anymore, he says skeletons who reset lose all skills, so yes it's true.

[@brawler9406]

They dont reset actually, they just say that to hide something. All robots In Kenshi go far back to the times of the first empire and they tried to genocide humans on two accession's no human alive knows this. Some of the robots regret the actions they did, anyways a lot of lore.

My question is: who or what is Kenshi? Other the title there's no other reference to "Kenshi" no ingame npc ever says "Kenshi", you won't find the word written in any piece of lore, any book, any map nothing. Nobody ever said that the world the game takes place in is called Kenshi, players just call it "the world of Kenshi" simply because of the title of the game. So what is Kenshi? Also if we're to take everything in Kenshi (lorewise) "As It Is" then it's literally just a distant future of humanity (yeah the one from Earth) based on the fact that there's humans and direct references to Earth "lore".. katanas, samurai, sake etc. also everyone speaks English. The rest of the story, how humans came to be on that moon is probably left to the player's imagination it could be any number of sci-fi tropes, whole thing is an experiment by big evil corporation or descendants of humans split from main faction by time and space idk maybe that will be explored in Kenshi 2 maybe it won't.

Kenshi is the name of the planet (or, to be more precise, the moon) on which the game takes place.

Kinship means "swordplay", or something like it, I can't remember where I came across it & haven't been able to find it with a search. Kenshis' style could also be seen as 'swordpunk' (think steampunk, cyberpunk etc), due to its' emphasis on swords of different types, samurai, ninja attire, general style, etc.
