Sometime in the late 15th century, the fortress that would eventually come to be known as Azkaban was created.
In these times, it wasn’t a prison. It was something much worse. In fact, after it was eventually taken over by the Ministry of Magic, those who had investigated refused to speak of the horrors they had found within.
Among those horrors, dementors, possibly the darkest, most vile creatures in all of the Wizarding World.
How is it these creatures were not only allowed to stay at Azkaban, but given full control as guardians of a new wizard prison?

Did you know Azkaban wasn't originally a prison? 😬

@JensTVMusic-lvo7u 3 месяца назад

Hopefully no Death Eaters had kids to pursue this. Hopefully Dementors don't get any funny ideas of their own. Hopefully no one breeds them and makes a Dementor Army. Hopefully a lot of things never happen.

Also the whole Helena Ravenclaw and Bloody Baron thing shocked me when I first learned about it. Ah man these suggestions I’m making are both kinda tragic 😅.

@BLUEnOVA360JR 5 месяцев назад

Great video Retro, Ive always thought Eckrisdis erected the island as a source for his inhumane experiments & cruelty, or he could have possibly found it while he was allready mad, & over the years of his torture of those unfortunate to encounter him, the atmosphere would have changed for the worse. I thought Isadora was unintentionally doing what Eckrisdis did but on a lesser scale, drain a person's life-force so that they'll become so obsessed with reclaiming it but its never enough, but her intention was to heal or takeaway. Im hoping dementors will be a new foe in the sequel, where the patronus will be a must. Loved this lore video, perhaps you could do a video on the unforgiveables, when were they first constructed, the horrors that followed their destruction, the banning of them in 1717 & the contiued use of them. Have a great day :)

@RetroRaconteur 4 месяца назад

Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Interesting thoughts on Isidora too.

@BLUEnOVA360JR 4 месяца назад

@RetroRaconteur Thanks Retro 😊 yeah I thought the devs were going to touch on Eckrisdis through Isadora. Though again I thought that she accidentally re discovered how to drain a person's life force unaware of how that very well me be the process on how to create dementors. Thanks again 👍

@maryholder3795 4 месяца назад

Please more lore videos, and the way you express the description of Dementor - like a form of dementia as they slowly took away memories from prisoners. I thought that Sirius escape was the first because he didn't have help. He unlike Barty younger who didn't he needed his parents.

The amount of Hufflepuffs I watched go to Azkaban and then still decided to turn Sebastian in made me so mad. That is a fate that should be reserved only for the worst.

@RetroRaconteur 4 месяца назад

Yeah...I think what Seb did is terrible and he deserves punishment...but very few truly deserve Azkaban. And it should definitely be off the table for minors! Also to be fair, the game never says he went to Azkaban. If you turn him in, Ominis says "He's been expelled - and will soon face trial at the Ministry."

It’s ironic how dementors are humanlike and patronus’ are animals…

@raughboy188 3 месяца назад

Is it possible that dementors of azkaban were once muggles? I mean if acristus tortured muggles that stumbled on the island what if torture included horrible experiments? Whatever achristus did to muggles could've triggered their transformation into dementors as a result especially if he experimented on them too. It's reasonable assumption.

@dylanmcleod5489 4 месяца назад

@BLUEnOVA360JR 4 месяца назад

@dylanmcleod5489 Would be good to see the charm in action against a lethifold. I had thought of using the dementors miserable, decaying presence against them that, along with their soul drain/ dementors kiss. a charm or curse, similar to a black hole or decaying curse where it crushes them out of existence or decays them to ashes both skeleton & cloak. Then again maybe aim thinking about this the wrong way. They are amongst the most foul creatures on earth. Would make for a good fiction.

@PotterheadMando 4 месяца назад

I agree, Dylan! Seeing as Lethifolds are basically paper-thin cloak-like killer creatures, only able to warded off by a powerful enough Patronus charm, they're terrifying! They can creep up on someone silently, even while they're sleeping. Dementors, on the other hand, have a disadvantage in their "death rattle" breathing, which gives them away (as does the cold sensation they cause).

I wonder if there is something like an opposite creature to dementors besides technically patronus’ And then the world would be equally guarded but then again them fighting against each other would be brutal so id make both not able to fight each other into the charm or spell
