Dark Souls Lore ► Izalith Translated 

Andy Mcp Just make a new YT channel and choose it.

Andy Mcp Find a crow, give it a worm that stayed outside for too long

Andy Mcp I chose the Witches Ring ;)

trade sunlight maggot for it with snuggly

but my shiny hat.....

Crow naahhh

Agreed.

Crow What about Fina? Heh.

Theyre both corrupt version of the nature (abyss and dark, chaos and life)

Zack Franklin I find izalith more interesting because the content was cut and unfinished where as velka lore was intentionally left vague

Mind. Blown.

nemesismkiii ...holy shit

That's badass

Makes sense. So what does that make the lava?

I would say it just is lava, and not everything is metaphorical. However, if I'm wrong it could be menstruation? Here me out, Ceaseless DIscharge is a being made of fire and lava, and as it's name implies, it is in fact discharge. Maybe the incomplete dragons which reside in Lost Izalith are like the discarded incomplete ovum which comes with menstruation. They are half-beings, much akin to what a discarded unfertilized egg would be, an incomplete human. Maybe they are representative of the incompleteness of life which arises from menstruation. Again, this seems rather far fetches and slightly disgusting so I wouldn't believe it, but if the metaphor I suggested about it Lost Izalith representing women, it makes sense. A woman and all her daughters without men would have quite a few menstrual cycles.

Hawkshaw, please make more! We've been waiting!

Hawkshaw you meab DS1 just keeps on giving, eh? Hahahha glad to see vaati and hawk referencing eachother you guys are awesome

Hakshaw Where have you been ? I dont find you on your own channel, but i find you here ? What is going on ? Where is the content ? Im 24 seconds into this video and thinking this guy will only reference Hakshaw anyway, stopped the video and find you as the pinned comment. No seriously, whats going ? Im still hesitant to continue with the video, but that you comment on DS videos is the biggest lore revelation i ever needed. I can contine believing.

yo im glad he brought you up hawkshaw your channel is dank

Honestly you alone have given me such a deep respect for the game, and I'm glad vaati has taken your views into account, keep up the good work

Spider tits are fine too

Heretic! Nothing is more amazing than Gwynevere 's chest.

can't top gwynevere milfy tits...

Whoa whoa whoa. Let’s not get too hasty here.

Yeah, but you can't try using both hands to uncover more lore.

He allied with dragons. But it likely didn’t happen during the Great War against them, since he left a parting gift on his father’s gravesite, which means it was after Gwynn left to burn in the kiln, or that he wasn’t in exile but left of his own accord, or that he returned when he heard of his fathers fate. At the top of the dragonkin city in dark souls 3, the corpse of an ancient dragon can be seen sprawled across a distant mountain, I think the sight of this is the cause of his rebellion. Now why he left Anor Londo I’m unsure of. I’m tempted to say he left during the course of the war on Izalith

@@henrytims4745 seems unlikely that Gwyn's firstborn betrayed him before he linked the fire

@@fukaton4024 I don’t think he did before he linked the fire. The miracle you can get from Gwyn’s grave was designed by his firstborn. Almost like a parting gift. I think he was regretful of their actions during the Great War, and he left on a pilgrimage, ending finally at Archdragon peak. Where an altar is set at the top of the mountain, from which the corpse of an ancient dragon still sits, unrotting.

@@henrytims4745 perhaps you're right but it feels like Gwyn if anyone would be the one to erase him from history. We'll probably never know though.

@@fukaton4024 Gwyndolin would have done it. He has a vested interest in keeping the r illusion of Anor Londo alive. And heading that a god has defected wouldn’t breed confidence in the public

do you think its possible that by "worn by the witch quelana" it means that she wore a set of gold hemmed, and not that she wore this specific one? We already know that other sisters wore Gold Hemmed (the invader before the bed of chaos boss fog) I don't think it would make any sense for that set to be quelana's. Especially because that would mean she has two identical sets of it

If you're assuming the corpse Ceaseless discharge is guarding is *not* a daughter of chaos separate from Quelana, then there are suddenly only 6 daughters of chaos present in-game, one unaccounted for... which seems like an oddly arbitrary omission of detail. When Miyazaki says Ceaseless discharge was "born" when the fire was still unstable, I think he means "Ceaseless Discharge" was born during that time. Not the humanoid brother he use to be. The "birth" of demons is described this way several times throughout Dark Souls. The brother existed prior to the chaos, which is where his connection to the unnamed dead daughter of chaos came from. Honestly saying Quelana faked her death is quite a leap.

time is convoluted

VaatiVidya You should go on: "Who wants to be a soulionaire?"

watch ur profanity

I saw your vid and immediately thought: "He must've seen Hawkshaw's vid." Blew my mind when I first saw it.

I'm glad you decided to go over Lost Izalith again. Keep up the good work :)

Defiantly make more of these Videos

The 0:45 close up came up when I was on the bus, and people were asking what the I was watching

Do you perchance RP on wow?

Caramel Frappe bh

He reminds me of Zeus if anything. Actually, most of his lore is based on Zeus.

Replying late to argue that the abyss is actually the ultimate villain.

@@failtolawl There's also a lot of allusions to Odin in his lore as well; Gwyn's obsession with delaying the coming Age of Dark definitely parallels Odin's own obsession with delaying Ragnarok.

The puzzling bit is if he was so selfish why did he sacrifice himself to the first flame?

To be honest, i think izalith and it's demons are destruction. Have we ever met not hostile demon? Both abyss and chaos flame are powerfull forced that brought doom, leaving only ashes and corrupted, twisted image of life that they consumed

What about the moment when you realise he rips his own arm off and slaps you with it

VaatiVidya From Software and their limb ripping.

What hidden demon?

@@edwinortiz1262 probably the stray one with no flame at 14:30

@@cameronburnard2301 he said in DS3

@@mshklh2099 yes, the stray one in farron keep which doesn't have a flame

MultiNichts yea same

MultiNichts you got it

I have difficulty with that too but I know understand pyromancy better

Now I'm just imaging Sonics mangled form as his flesh partially fuses with one of the chaos spiders

No sonic would just tpose

You're alone

No I'm not

Don't lie

"And if you'd like to kindle the wedding consider leaving a like and perhaps a wedding gift"

A londor style wedding?

Agree

I actually think Miyazaki and From don't care as much about money as other companies. I think they'l rather create new stuff than riding the hype of the old games till they lose their greatness.

What is there to remaster, it's fine as it is and we need another soulsborne game instead.

Jay Ghost honestly each dark souls is like a remaster of the first, and even dark souls 1 is just a more refined version of demon souls.

Jay Ghost wot. The game is not even that old .

The robes description says it's Quelana's

@@HouseDagothCultist it says they're worn by Quenala of Izalith. But Quenala is obviously not that corpse, and we see at least one other witch wear the same robes, so I think it means worn by her in the same way that all witches wear those robes. It's sort of like acknowledging she also wears the uniform?

That was the assumption for a while I believe. And I'm not exactly convinced it's changed. The robes are worn by all members of the Witches on Izalith, including the still human one guarding the bed of chaos. It's not specifically Quelana's robes we find.

Yeah, that's where he definitely overreaches. There were 7 Daughters of Chaos (you can see them in the intro at 2:00), and unless the corpse on the altar that Ceaseless Discharge watches over is one of them, there's one left unaccounted for. Quelaag, the Fair Lady, Quelana, the witch who guards the entrance to the Bed of Chaos, the two who were swept up in the creation of the Bed, and the corpse on the altar makes all of them.

The Gold-hemmed set reads: Worn by the witch Quelana of Izalith, mother of pyromancy and Daughter of Chaos.

Time is convoluted hur dur, plot hole fixed.

@@VaatiVidya Uh, he answered your point. You're just restating it. His point is fine. Maybe try responding to it instead of just repeating your own point that he already countered perfectly well?

Wveth he edited his original post...to add in the part about the description. His original post justified my response, but you'll never see it. Besides, it doesn't just mention her..it says "worn by".

@@VaatiVidya Respect that you just randomly answer a year old post.

The Abyss is pretty much the major " evil " force that set up in the entire series for us to fight against. Note the quotes

not evil, just not siding with the gods.

Thats why I quoted evil

But those robes were literally stated (in their description) to be worn by Quelana.

My bad, haven't played through the Demon Ruins in a while. Great video by the way, keep up the good work!

A simple FISH -- Don't worry, I'm under no delusions about being a weeb. I've just sort of accepted it at this point.

Khvote Windrunner FIGHT THE POWAHH

Khvote Windrunner Thanks, my dude.

not really a prepare to cry since she is a bish by nature. kek

Karl Evans He's probably waiting until they announce Bloodborne 2(if it ever happens)

Darkraioxxx :'(

I really want a bloodborne 2, i think they did well enough in sales for another one?

It's not about if it sold good. It's a bout Miyazaki not liking sequels and the story wrapping itself up. Like Dark Souls as much as I want one, Bloodborne really doesn't need a sequel.

he is neither, because as his soul states, he was one of the last witnesses to the chaos of izalith, meaning he's not the first of anything. he was born long after the chaos flame had stabilized and long after it had begun to fade.

Sean Clark thank you father

How else do you explain the Gold-hemmed robes you pick up from the altar reading: "Worn by the witch Quelana of Izalith, mother of pyromancy and Daughter of Chaos"?

Most of the Armor that seems to have the description 'worn by' as opposed to 'X of X' (eg. Helm of Hawkeye Gough, one of Gwyn's Four Knights.) seems to be for generic sets, like the ones you start the game with and some enemy sets like that of the Painting Guardians. There was one noticeable exception I could find though in the Xanthous set which also included the word 'once' in its description (A mysterious item once worn by the Xanthous King Jeremiah, the legendary exile. No one knows where it came from.) but it is also full of possessive pronouns (It may be tattered, but /its/ bright yellow color still stings the eyes. etc) which leads me to believe it was intended as specifically his armor. Two particular details stand out about the Gold-Hemmed Black Set though that make me think it is intended to be read as a more generic set than a specific one though. The first being that instead of the possessive pronoun the description of all the pieces uses the full name of each set piece to describe it, which also seems to be an oddity among most Item descriptions but also seems less personal than the Xanthous sets description of each specific piece of armor. The other is the sheer length of the attribution: "Worn by the witch Quelana of Izalith, mother of pyromancy and Daughter of Chaos." which based on some of the details from your video makes me think there may be some translation ambiguity present in the description, like it was worn by each of them and not specifically her. That may be conjecture, but I would definitely like to see someone else's crack at the translation for this item, as this may all be inconsistencies in the grammar and template for the Localization team. Aside from Item descriptions though I don't think her faking her death really supports your theory. The fact that the body is eternally watched over by Ceaseless suggests more that he laid it there for safekeeping, and to protect it past the long ridge leading up to it within his reach since leaving that area causes him to fall to his death as is a common way to cheese the fight. He allows you to safely get close because you aren't a demon, and he possibly thinks you are just a Chaos Servant who serve his family in developing the Chaos arts, making him lash out when you then betray that thought and defile the corpse. Quelaag and Quelaan are both served by these Chaos Servants who are present at the beginning of Lost Izalith, and while you could argue they are both close enough to protect their servants from the Demons that could easily explain Quelana's escape as well, along with an intelligent and civilized organization formed around chaos that is only just barley being pushed out of the Demons territory by the time you reach it.

*Edwad Scream NYEEEEEEHHHHHH

Edwad caused the chaos flame to get out of control. This of course was in the age of fire, before he had Bed and Vaddi to carry him.

don't you mean vaaaaaaaaaaaaabi

zachery429 Oh, pardon me I was absorbed in thought, I am seigward Knight of Catarina, and to be honest, im in quite a pickle

If someone doesn't know this quote is from Knights of the Fallen Empire and its true

I'll face darkness with my gank k thanks.

Demonkind is linked intrinsically to fire; all for is inherently chaotic, but it can be controlled.

Gwyn is a dictator

Vaati: Oh.. Dark Porn

No shit Sherlock

No just Dark Souls lore. They all fit together.

No this is Bloodborne.

Bearer, Seek, Seek, Lest witch is funny cause of your Ainsley picture, why is he so creepy?

Lmao ur name

*C E A S E L E S S D I S C H A R G E*

ha that name jesus christ

There's also the Hollow sister outside of the Bed of Chaos's boss room though. She is #8. So the corpse by Ceaseless is a #9.

Nooooo. Ceaseless is most definitely not a Witch of Izalith. So there's 7 plus Izalith herself.

Solaire is a daughter of Chaos though. Just look at evidence and make silly connections and the answer is as clear as day.

C4House _ yeah!

Edwad's legend is not quite over. He still has to venture through Yharnam.

Eonhunter I believe the robes description says so but the pyromancy daughter in front of the chaos bed also has the same robes. I personally think that multiple of the sisters had the same robes. If his claim is correct then why did that woman have the same robes?

Morganthe I thought it was already established, and pretty obvious, that all the daughters of chaos wore the same gold hemmed robes. I mean... do we ever see them wearing anything different (excluding Quelaag and the Fair Lady)? Nah. They’re priestesses, and as such they have “uniforms” to wear as most priests/priestesses do.

Eonhunter I agree but it is confusing with the description of them.

Well i think demon souls kinda showed that demons were running things before

The Japanese translations state that the firesage was one of the first demons. In my eyes, the Japanese translations are closer to what was intended by the writers and should be taken over the English version.

The Gold-hemmed set you pick up from that corpse literally reads: Worn by the witch Quelana of Izalith, mother of pyromancy and Daughter of Chaos. She wore this gold-hemmed black hood before even the Age of Fire, and it offers strong resistance versus fire, poison, and other perils. It's obviously strange that she has two sets of these robes, which I imagine is why you were confused.

captlaserrage mannnn come on now......

Except she's WEARING her own set of Gold Hemmed robes. She's not gonna have two sets, and the description could just as easily mean "The set was worn by the witch Quelana," as in not this SPECIFIC set, but one of this set. come on now......
