[blasphemous] So here's some last-minute lore from wiki diving

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:29 AM

some of it from in game, some from the comic that apparently exists

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:30 AM

- The Penitent One's silence is not caused by the Miracle

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:30 AM

he is a member of the Brotherhood of Silent Sorrow, who take a vow of silence as their form of penance

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:30 AM

the Brotherhood no longer exists

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:30 AM

reference the giant pile of corpses dressed like you at the start of the game

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:30 AM

however, the Miracle did affect the Penitent One

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:31 AM

in that he did NOT survive the destruction of the Brotherhood

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:31 AM

the Miracle brought him back to life

oh

nerDIE

@nerdiethings

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:31 AM

oh god

izzy.vrm

@alqemizzy

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:31 AM

huh.

izzy.vrm

@alqemizzy

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:31 AM

... so the miracle resurrected him... to end the miracle?

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

I don't think the miracle ended

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

it simply demanded penance

izzy.vrm

@alqemizzy

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

huh

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

and the penance was done

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

but the Miracle continued, and the penance continues in a new form

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:34 AM

I suspect to be carried out now by Crisanta

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

anyway the other thing is something people HAD been pondering on - timeline

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:32 AM

the comic states, apparently

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:33 AM

that it has been centuries since the First Miracle

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:33 AM

but also

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:33 AM

Albero is the last place in Cvstodia where people can safely live, in part because - according to some dialogue in the game -

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:33 AM

time passes strangely outside of Albero

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:33 AM

implying that the Miracle has twisted the FLOW OF TIME ITSELF

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:34 AM

- The Penitent One's hat is based on a whole thing

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:35 AM

- Some MAJOR lore from the comic, which it seems is mostly a prequel to the game

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:36 AM

Crisanta is the one who killed you.

Uncle Royd

@Overbringer

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:36 AM

I missed bits of this stream so like

Uncle Royd

@Overbringer

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:36 AM

That last fight with her was also literally the first time I had seen her

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:36 AM

it's the first time she's seen in the game

Uncle Royd

@Overbringer

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

oh

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

but the comic establishes that she faced you before

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

your penances are opposites, so she must prevent yours

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

the details of this are not made clear

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

but her last line is

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

"If the Miracle has really pointed out to you, you will rise again upon the dead... If that is your fate then we will meet again."

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

And, well, it was

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:37 AM

and you did

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:38 AM

Blasphemous is not hugely interested in giving clear answers

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:39 AM

- How about some endboss lore??

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:40 AM

Escribar is the pope

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:40 AM

he was pope when the Miracle first struck Cvstodia

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:41 AM

he declared that the Miracle had forsaken mankind, and turned his throne away from his congregation, no longer listening to them

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:42 AM

as he sat on the Turned Throne, the Miracle changed his body

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:42 AM

he became a massive tree, growing far into the skies above the Mother of Mothers

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:42 AM

and either caught fire or was set on fire by his congregation

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:42 AM

the tree burned for ninety days

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:43 AM

and when the fire ended, all that remained was a mountain of ash, atop which stood the now-empty Turned Throne

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:43 AM

and ever since, people have tried to climb it to reach the empty throne and replace Escribar

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:44 AM

but all of them have been weighed down by sin and swallowed by the mountain of ash

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:44 AM

so the Escribar you fight... might be an incarnation of him from the past?

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:44 AM

time flows oddly in Cvstodia

Neo Quinn

@quinn2win

Thu, Apr 8, 2021 4:44 AM

twisted are the paths of the Miracle
