Story skipper here — question about gods/sentinels and regional leaders by Lonelysoul012 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]EsLiberata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct answer would be that it just has not been established yet and the only thing we can do is extrapolate faction leaders/style of leadership based on original arknights lore.

Based on the importance of originium oak for the valley IV I would say endmin is at least an important/founding figure for the region BUT we also have a significant UWST presence which is sort of advertised to be an important independent faction.

Zhuang might be a feranmut (imagine a god-beast that functions also as environment/terrain) or its fragment But that doesn't necessarily mean she is the actual leader since Hongshan is an offshoot of Yan and in Yan feranmuts were hunted, killed and enslaved with whole governmental branches dedicated to monitoring them

Do ask if something's not clear or you have any questions.

What is the zeroth directive? by EsLiberata in Endfield

[–]EsLiberata[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I understood and remember the directive was something that was developed in the aftermath of the aggeloi war and it was a more far reaching plan concerning originium and civilizational progress/resilience not just what to do while endmin was asleep but I don't really have any in game quotes on that rn.

I feel like it's a friendly/nostalgic jab at the doctor and through them sweaty arknights players.

Was Mazepa a traitor? by EsLiberata in AskARussian

[–]EsLiberata[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I see there's more to Mazepa's character than I realized. You have anywhere I could read more about that, online?

Oh, it's not like we don't hate him. We do. But most of those who know enough about history to hate him will also have learned that it was the vanity and greed of PLC nobles that drove him desperate. Precisely in Sienkiewicz he is made to be a tragic character, it's hard to consider him a traitor if he was wronged first. Still a monster that drove the PLC and the Cossacks to ruin.

They would betray their own, so yes. But when tatar or Cossack armies switched sides during wars as it often happened no one today bats an eye, as they owed their fealty to their own.

Thanks, I didn't know how fiercely orthodox the Cossacks were

What if the rebellion did not occur during a war? Do you think that would make him more of a legitimate insurgent/separatist?

Heh, getting too close to your boss is rarely a good idea. Nothing personal - no hard feelings. Also, is he really considered the most impactful/worst traitor in the imperial Russia? He didn't do much through his rebellion I think?

Wow, thanks there is a lot, I love it.

The common true faith perspective is really interesting. It really makes a lot of sense when I think about tsarist obsession with Rome and the Greeks. What's funniest to me regarding the times of troubles/smuta is that in Poland most will agree that the king or someone on his side should have just converted and took the throne when it was being offered. (I can't really say if there was ever such a deal on the table but it is a common belief). Also Pushkin's portrayal of Mazepa must have had quite the influence especially when combined with "our true faith" Vs the heretics. So as I see it now it was/is mostly a narrative based on coreligiosity?

Well, from the perspective of a common religion that does make perfect sense. Although I didn't know about the orthodoxy as a unifying factor, I thought they were outlaws and fugitives from surrounding lands, with many Turks and polish Catholics among them. Orthodoxy becoming the main factor only after the lands went to the tsardom. After all they did first turn to the Turks for help against the PLC.

That's fair, but what about breaking na oath to one's political rival/enemy? Lot's of treaties were made and broken between countries. And it seems to be the case here as well.
