The Secrets of the Ashlands [Kenshi Lore] 

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

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.

Great to see Kenshi content creators collaborating!

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!

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.

Man, now i'm really wishing to play a Kenshi TRPG in Gurps system... just to rollplay a travel to Ashlands...

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?

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.

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

The Dark Souls music fits great 👍

Leaving a comment to help with the algorithm :3 Another great video, my friend, keep at it ^.^

Patostrophia becoming the VaatiVidya of Kenshi? Yes please!

Gather round the fire young uns....Loremeister Patos bout to drop some hard lore on us

Sweet video, nice to see Paganacho here too :)

Very well made congratulations

Pat pat nice work and you even did another collab🎉🎉

Nice vid!

Amazing video! Also I love the collab with Naruto Jörg Haider xD

Volcanic ash should make these lands the most fertile

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.

2 in one week? Okran be praised

F E M A I N E😿

I've played unforgivingly little of this game considering I've had it since 2013😢

Watched and liked 🧡

Damn you got papanacho to read this so cool

Good call getting Paga to do narration. One question did you misspell sliver or did he misread it and then you changed the text after. Lol thanks

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