The Secrets of the Ashlands [Kenshi Lore]

[@raresmocanu1743]

This just made the wait for kenshi 2 difficult again. Thanks.

[@patostrophia2948]

Sorry Mate haha :)

[@PerfectDeath4]

Considering that there are a bunch of volcanoes next to the ashlands it could be that the wind only blows the ash in one direction, depositing in only one region.

[@patostrophia2948]

Thats a theory i never thought of , this could also be a possibility.

[@PerfectDeath4]

@@patostrophia2948 Does make one wonder how long those volcanoes had been active for then. I can't imagine they would build a capital city in a toxic ashland. =P

[@patostrophia2948]

Sooo many Questions, yet we need more answers :D

[@zayffon1325]

This seems a lot less far fetched than all the other theories, let’s be honest.

[@PerfectDeath4]

@@zayffon1325 I think it might be cool if in Kenshi 2, the area to become the ashlands isn't that bad but sometimes gets hit by "ash storms" or something, non skellies need gas masks or be inside during that weather.

[@Divert486]

Ashland being the capital of the second empire makes me believe it wasn't always like this and humans once could inhabit the area. Stobes proximity and mysterious death that supposedly saved humanity makes me believe that he deflected a chemical weapon from hitting the main land to the ashlands. Stobe dying before the second empire is possibly a misconception. If you take Orkans creation myth, stobe died and split into two parts, I believe those two parts would actually be tin fist and cat lon. Them splitting was the main catalyst of the second empire falling apart.

[@patostrophia2948]

Thats a Very interesting take on that. something i would have never thought of. And i love it

[@MarcCastellsBallesta]

Now that you mention it, the fall of the roman empire was in part because a caesar split the empire in two parts. I oversimplified and ommited things. But your comment made me see similarities between the fall of both empires.

[@nicholasroach880]

I like qhere you are going with this. But you can find Stobes body.

[@justanotherhuumon]

I was thinking the same thing about Stobe when looking at the Ashlands. Although I never conceived that Cat-Lon and Tinfist could be representative of Narko and Okran.

[@MarcCastellsBallesta]

Great to see Kenshi content creators collaborating!

[@NearlyH3adlessNick]

Great video, man! I love that Kenshi is so ambiguous about its history!! Not only is it cool from a rp standpoint to be able to play "the good guys" no matter what, just depending what version of events you take in as head canon, but it makes me so excited for Kenshi 2 so we can get even more mysterious answers about things! I honestly think Kenshi 2 is going to be before the second empire and just after the first so that it's still kinda a post apocalyptic wasteland, just one of a different kind. It'll give us answers on what led to some of the chaos and destruction of the founding and falling, and some of what happened after the first did the same, but not an actual answer on who is right and wrong. I don't really want one, honestly. I love these lore videos and fan theories. These discussions about a small, once beautiful moon doomed to slowly fade away into nothingness; the answer to such problems possibly lying undisturbed deep beneath the Ashlands.

[@patostrophia2948]

Thank you Nick! I think the reason why the Lore is so interessting is because we dont know much about it. At least its a lot of fun for me to uncover it :)

[@hemlocktea6643]

Isn't Kenshi another planet? If there's a spaceship crash,it's probably from far before the 1st empire! Like when humans first colonized that world! Although falling all the way from interstellar species to what we see in Kenshi....damn!

[@patostrophia2948]

Kenshi is a Moon, so yep another Planet. Given the fact, the first Empire where probably humans with space technology that settled here :)

[@TheSith6661]

i love kenshi the little bits of lore and wonder is exciting really good vid! cant wait for kenshi 2 still playing number 1

[@DustinBarlow8P]

I freaking LOVE this lore stuff! Wondering the blasted wastes of a fallen world, then wondering out in the middle of the Desert, finding an out of place piece of shrubbery, is hiding a hatch that goes into an massive complex untouched by the outside world for thousands of years. Finding information about the horrors at the fall of the mighty Empire make the current troubles seem laughable. I just fantasize about stumbling upon a time portal and coming out during the End Times of the ancient world. I would be forced into the hospital because my Lore Erection had taken to much blood away from other areas of the body!

[@patostrophia2948]

Lore Erection, lol... thats a new one and i love it! Yeeeeh i freaking love the lore man... about time i make another Lore video i guess haha!

[@j.avance9031]

My personal theory about the Ash is it might've come from some unknown super weapon which ended Cat-lons reign over kenshi. If you look closely near Cat-lon and his storm thrall domes there is a giant circular hole in the ground that goes super deep into the moon. My theory is that as Cat-lon went mad and began thralling skeletons, and trying to wipe out humanity someone set off that super weapon at the base of Cat-lons empire and caused that entire area to change and shift into what we see in modern kenshi. I can think of no other reason for such a giant hole to exist, unless that super structure over top the Ashland domes are some kind of mining laser but who would put the throne of the 2nd empire next to a mine?

[@patostrophia2948]

Yeees i saw that huuuge hole, it also raised many questions in me. Seeing the size end destruction. this is very plausible, as it seems that the hole has at least taken the building around it :)

[@giovannicervantes2053]

My guess is it was effectively a nuke alongside the ash from the volcanoes to the north maybe the ancients buried a bomb maybe cat lon made one as a last ditch idk

[@trumplostlol3007]

You don't need a mask in Ashland unless you encounter the poisonous cloud. So, just build a storm house and hide inside. LOL

[@chrisw9451]

Two minutes in you said, "Holding on to the tiniest silver of hope." Was that meant to be sliver of hope? Just wondering in what context silver would be used there so I better understand. Just FYI, your voice fits the depiction of the character very well.

[@patostrophia2948]

Hey Chris! in the Script it was written as "Sliver of hope" Paga has misspronounced it, and it though i sneakly edit the text so no one might notice it, seems like you got me haha :D And The Intro was voiced by Paganacho, who lend it to me for this video :)

Patostrophia becoming the VaatiVidya of Kenshi? Yes please!

Cant reach that level of Vaati, but ill be his little sidekick :D

i think "they" nuked cat-lon judging by that massive hole next to his base.

2 things are on my mind, its either nuked, or drilled. Realy hard to tell.

[@avenpreston2001]

with the ash being toxic i think it is radioactive maybe the ship thing has something to do with that?

[@patostrophia2948]

Someone suggested that the ash might be from the Volcanos after all. The Ship is the the theory i wnet with, but its possible :)

[@giovannicervantes2053]

My guess is the industrial waste and destruction of the area by conventional i.e. fire and non conventional means i.e. nukes or volcanos
