foreign [Music] 's world has been around for a long time but I'm sure you don't know everything his history has to offer the game we all know and love has been around for centuries and has faced several events that have shaped the etrian luminum into its fragile existence I'm Punchy and today I'll be guiding you through deep open's expansive timeline which has been compiled by the Deep open lore Hunters myself and the deboking community most of this information can be found in game and anything else can be inferred from public developer statements if you want
to give your own take on anything in this video feel free to share it down below in the comments and without further Ado join me on this dive into deep oaken's rich history up until now our first stop precedes deep open year zero I'll be calling this time period the old world and it's the first of the three main segments of deep Oakland's history as the tides and the new world subsequently follow so I'll be taking a look at the first segment today the old world takes place way before the release of debulking and even
happened before its testing so let's remember this is way before year zero the events that take place ultimately shape the environment we play in much later mankind starts off with a discovery before years were established in deep open timeline Humanity discovered the song from what we know about the song in deep Oakland's current age it's that it's present in all beings atumis and bells it's kind of like the forest from Star Wars because everybody experiences the song differently archmage the dev that does all the lore explains that mankind eventually refined the application of the song
into a vague but powerful tool it's safe to say that culture and techniques based around the song had not been taught during the years that precede an event called the canticism all that's known is that the song was discovered by mankind following the song's Discovery nothing is really talked about except for its peak which is known as the canticlism the word canticism literally means the arrival of the song and that's what it was at some point something brought upon a golden age or Renaissance of the song it was described as a supposedly peaceful and fragile
time of innovation as confirmed by archmage the cataclysm was chill and epic but honestly it kind of seems scary to me being surrounded by instruments and tools of the song a little mistake could cause ruin after observing what a single Bell can do just imagine the capability of the song during its peak I would really love to see that anyway big of elements were made throughout the cataclysm such as the introduction of our attunements and Technology we experienced today in game some evidence for this in game is the tool tip descriptions the legendary description reads
a blade sets have been forged during the remains of the last dead the last Fortunate Souls at the end of the cataclysm to be spared the drowning also really cool light is made out of souls another Elemental weapon the curved blade of winds reads a prize blade supposedly forged during the canticism by the first Gale breathers so not only were atumis developed in this time period but Legendary Weapons basically a flex were created to represent them the cataclysm was all about harnessing the song's power into technology and obviously combat certain attunements were better suited for
Warfare While others had industrial uses one example that's relevant today is iron Singh the current pluripotent alloy provides us with some insight about iron Singh a concept developed during the cataclysm and as we know the alloy is used to buff up weapons and strengthen them which you know is not really combat anyway during this time the song was refined sematumus and the legendary weapons were developed and much of the world Advanced during the cataclysm it was truly a golden age after this time period we learned in game through hive's telescope that alien-like beings called celestials
landed into the poken's world and influenced it greatly in game the telescope informs us that celestials were drawn from the Heavens to the song and that's why they showed up many believe that celestials evacuated their Homeland and landed up in the illuminum below this idea is reinforced because of the telescope's Grim description of the city left in Ruins some known celestials and confirmed celestials that impacted the world are Nevaeh who guide the children of Nevaeh and the twins Nilsa and Olsen which Pathfinders worship the supposed twin Celestial of Alston is Nilsa which was ragusa's character
that even archmage isn't certain about here's a photo of Nilsa but I don't know if it's even real archmage says he isn't even sure if Nilsa is Canon anymore so we'll leave it at that on the other hand Olson is very much real if we talk to polis and other Pathfinders in game we get a name drop for Olson but that's about it we can infer that Olson is a Celestial because many of them say all sin above or stars above which is in reference to the celestials nevae on the other hand is not confirmed
in game to be a Celestial archmage and other developers have confirmed that she is a Celestial but no NPCs really give us lore about her regardless her descent into the luminant inspired a religion called the children of David who are peaceful in nature whoever or whatever Nevaeh was she was certainly powerful the nomads wear clothing blessed by Nevaeh that gives him defense against darkness and the cold every single grimoire starts off with a built-in Compass called nevae's guidance so she's definitely powerful these celestials are the strongest known entities of deep Oakland's Overworld and are not
drone Gods people say stars above are all sin above which directly contrasts NPCs that say Gods below so that's why we know they're different this song was interesting enough for Celestial beings to check it out and at this point mankind was growing careless remember that thing I talked about called the cataclysm well the song was basically being spammed finally humans had harnessed this power this magic that helped them innovate make weapons and even win Wars but they did not understand the repercussions and just for that they paid the price [Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music]
in true debug and fashion nothing comes without a cost playing around with the song is not going to end well our Focus shifts from the old world and its capitalism to the tides which symbolize a turning point in debug and history just to be clear that Tides still take place before year 0 and represent the old world transitioning into the new world as a fitting punishment for the overuse of song Humanity had stirred something nasty the drowned Gods had not awoken but this annoying music and mistreat of the song caused a great change this eventually
led to an event by the name of the tides in real life tides are an actual thing and I'm pretty sure dpoken has these sea tides but the tides the time period describe an era where the world began to drown as an attempt to explain this vague drowning let's take a look in game in deep woken each character has several life States and your initial life status is healthy depicted by a full orange bar everybody starts off like this if at some point you end up dying in game you'll respond with a spotted light bar
this will occur when you die in game but in the lore you aren't actually dead instead of losing your life you're just being injured now if you die a second time while being in this injured State you'll fall into the adapts or Drown Your Soul pops out and sinks underneath and this is considered an actual death and lore but during the old world dying was far less complicated usually when somebody died we assumed that they were buried but it was unclear about their fate afterlife was there a heaven or a hell it wasn't certain after
the old world's cataclysm this brought upon the tides and the drownings drownings symbolize the phenomenon of souls seeking Into the Depths when you die again your soul is swallowed by The Depths and that's defined as a drowning you can view this at a campfire as it documents how many times your character has drowned now great drownings are the same thing at a larger scale for example seltor Falling Into the Depths is considered a great drowning where a large amount of souls Fall Into the Depths I fully believe that drownings are targeted and happen for a
reason when drowning first began people all over the world began to drown and sink underneath but I think this was a big punishment for overusing the song and it was not targeted on the other hand seltor's great drowning was way more specific and targeted only them their greed and Corruption caused them to fall entirely While others remain safe and you might be asking is drowning really bad I mean you can still do stuff in the depths that is true your life still continues but many normal people do not escape and live terrible lives just remember
everyday people do not One-Shot enforcers like the player anyway in Sandy boredom various monsters and the isolation slowly eat away at your mind people grow old and lose themselves and their family in scaphosia which is honestly worse than a normal death these drownings and the tide affected the Overworld as well the tides brought culture to the etrian Luminate and the people that lived there even the address made its way to the etrian limited and showed up during the tides to reinforce this idea and etrian down in summer Isle claims the address came with the waves
which makes a lot of sense despite popular belief Azure have no relation to water or the waves but the shifting of continents and sinking islands provided travel from their mountainous civilization so although the tides kind of suck for everybody it did open up travel Roots if we're talking about different groups The Hive might have been affected as well it's speculated that Primal vesperian tribes were so troubled many of them split up into different groups in the depths and became Ganymede I'm not certain about this Theory but visually Ganny meet our vesperian without the mask and
maybe they evolved differently instead maybe the Ganymede shed the resistant mask in order to accept the secrets of the deep I'm not sure if this is true but I see a connection a depth connection the tides were a large turning point for the etrian luminant and separated the old world from the new world everything that happened before the drownings are considered the golden age or the old world and a lot of studious NPCs bring up the existence of the Old Worlds and old heads reminisce about his glory that being said if everything before the tides
was the old world everything during the tides is considered the new world its hides are both an event that ended the old world and a time period containing the new world anytime there's drowning that's a part of the tides at some point this fact was accepted and it became a normal part of the new world lifestyle despite these otherworldly punishment the human Spirit would not give up if you can't fight the sea you must learn to swim foreign [Music] everything started with the old world this time of Discovery and wonder ended up being a grave
mistake despite Humanity's attempt at harnessing the song the world paid dearly for its overuse and mistreatment of this unknown power as a result people and their Nations begin to drown in a cataclysmic event known as the tides these drownings Mark a separation in debug and history where the old world ended and the new world subsequently began as the player we partake in the era of the new world when people reference this new world it's one that is both physically Changed by the Warfare and unnatural disasters that popped up during the tides but what really sets
it apart from the old world are its ideas and the factions which now surround the song If we take a look in the game we can observe the etrian luminance modern use of the song players and NPCs actively use the song for combat with the large arsenal of mantras Bells reinforced armor and elemental weapons available to choose from right now at least the song is not being overused or even spammed back in the old world's canticism the song was used for practically everything and resulted in the punishment from the drunk odds I could be totally
wrong about this but nobody in the game currently talks about the harm of overusing the song and with that being said what do we know about the new world ironically the information in game about early New World lore is very unclear when people can drop the in-game date was around 1270 and anything before that is a bit blurry the earliest accomplishment from in-game lore is told through a weapon description the pale morning's tooltip claims it's a replica of a famous Kanor warlord who was known in the first century of the new world likely this warlord
was associated with the central Authority many conures are a part of this group and it would make sense for the authority to be making some commotion the central Authority is a massive military force stemming from the central illuminance they can be found all over deep Wilkins world and it's believed that their expansion relates to their mission of peacekeeping not much information is given on this but their peacekeeping techniques are anything but moral their Tendencies to torture and stop resistance is shown in game with the authority interrogator skill tree the Authority's presence is a consistent threat
in the ezreon luminance their connections to starswept Valley and the Sun summer company are highlighted with their hive base Fort Merritt and the soldiers that stand guard the stolen summer technology what's interesting about the authority is their information about etria and its elusive Lord Regent currently in deboken the Kingdom of etria is in a flimsy position their collapse seems apparent but we're just not there yet right now the king of etria has disappeared and the Mysterious Lord Regent has taken his place Kenneth and etrian guard questions how Lord Regent obtained his position and is silenced
it's ironic how the central Authority and etrian Kingdom fight against each other because both of them use violence to stop protest the Lord's region is not a good person in fact his intentions are certainly evil he's a contractor somebody hiding within the ministry a cult that worships the depths one Authority official Warden Jericho recounts in his journal that he fears for the etrians led by Lord Regent that thing they call a lord a non-human contractor is what he knows Lord region is it's also implied through the blind to your text that seltor is repeating itself
through etrus with a seemingly benevolent or good King who helps out the nation and we all know what have a cell tour Lord Regent is not who he seems another goal of this Lord is attaining the forge of Sin from the grasp of ducharesia well what is the forge of sin apparently it's an artifact from down below and a remnant of the past whatever it is it's definitely not safe to prove this ducaricia used to be a peaceful and generally sane protector of orisia the floating island his original intentions were positive and his Creations protected
those honorisia he's a powerful scientist that brought life to the stone golems using his Bell but something changed him after getting his hands on the forge of sin which Lord Regent is not happy about he went insane very similar to Warden Jericho do karise wants to prevent another drowning but his way of doing this is transforming innocent villagers into something of use it's a morally gray situation yet his terrible actions work toward a time of Peace a deeper look into the island of arisia grants us some information about light Keepers travel between luminance seems to
be an effect of light or light magic which only light Keepers can use in the hidden village nimia States her talented friend was taken from her in order to provide for the world it's a very sad existence where people are used for their materials but it gives us a bit more insight about the necessary evil Depot can focuses on I think these light keepers are very very important because without them we could not travel between the luminance and right now they're running out of time another large group that truly shapes the outcome of the atrium
luminant is the hive at first glance they're very primitive and non-social creatures but the more you look the more they really Shine the entire goal for Hive is growing a tree large enough to rise above the tides and save its people at the cost of draining Life The Hive can create life that's why I think most of the airito islands are deserts if I had to guess many other factions do not like the hive because of their selfish actions in the future they'll end up hurting the entire luminance as a whole to support their cause
there are so many factions in deep poking history I cannot focus on all of them right now the Khan Legion has beef with authority because they broke their Treaty of Peace summer company provides weapons to the authority with their fairly Advanced steps technology the song Seekers Praise the song the Pathfinder and nevae are quite peaceful and follow their Celestial religions which I mentioned in the old world the knives of a lease and ignition Union are hired by The Authority but they really deserve their own video and lastly the ministry which Regent has ties to is
obsessed with the depths since this video is all about the timeline that's all I gotta say about these factions but comment down below which group I should fully cover next time but now it's time to talk about the depths a lot about the depths has been discovered and said during the tides but in the new world many people have circulated throughout its layers one of the larger groups currently investigating the depths are the divers these divers can range from harmless researchers to professors of the deep to experience Fighters called black divers which rarely return to
the surface there are many branches within the divers but their main goal is to research and fight the creatures of the depths based off some interactions with aspiring divers and NPCs in the depths it's a pretty common profession for those that want to explore all we know is that the depths goes infinitely deeper and in the new world many factions want to harness its strange powers and phenomena two in-game deboken events have occurred as a result of the depths the first being the shackle rumbling which popped up in 1291 the year of winter 1291 marks
that fateful night with a rumbling of a million megalodons thundered in our ears they laid waste to our homes and what little land we had left to squabble over basically the addition of Sharko bait traps caused insane amounts of Megalodons to spawn destroying everybody in sight and yes this is real lore following this in 1320 the hell bell became available allowing divers and Fighters alike to summon extremely strong Monsters of the deep for a chance of enhanced Loot and gems I'm not sure if this is real lore but it has a special place in my
heart so far deep poker's world has been shaped by corruption suffering and the hope of discovering something new our greed punished us initially but the surviving humans adapted the dynamic nature of Depot can provides us an enthralling story for us to unravel and experience I'm sure I missed a few things here and there and I kept out some details to keep it brief but that's how I interpreted Depot gets timeline up until now with layer 2 around the corner lore will be expanded and even changed but remember I'm the real Punchy and I'll always be
willing to talk about lore so let me know if you want to comment down below your favorite faction or event in the book and Laura for me to focus on next it would be appreciated anyway hopefully this simplifies a bit of the lore and allows for more discussion but please please please look into the Lord because it's way too deep and that's all for now so like And subscribe have a good one [Music] thank you [Music]
