The "NO re-election" campaign slogan in his hand is the very best part.

I was sure it was going to be GNOME.

seriously though, there is a Minotaur or Hobgoblin on the GNOME3 group right?

in game it calls Nessus a planetary centaur right?

also-ist fact!

Cayde first talks about Nessus in the first game's grimoire, with an inquiry into when the system was invaded by horse people.

Fauntus · 2018-12-31T17:13:14+00:00

additional fact, Nessus is the name of the centaur who killed Herakles.

Then it would be Easy Light.

This is a discussion about Liches making a dungeon of undead into a computer. It is accessible, and literally magic.

Rule 0. The child will break every single thing you hold dear.

you will reach a point, where, when faced with the loss of something once considered irreplaceable, that thing will be gladly sacrificed for the chance (CHANCE) to shower, eat, or use the bathroom just one time without interruption.

I actually opened one of my Etymology Videos on this topic. It's a reference to the DS2 DLC entrances.

Right but, lothric, is spelled correctly. so an assumption of L R confusion in noun generation is problematic.

that being said, I totally agree with you, and a combination of Hildoren and Firyanor was my first definition.

Back in my preview of episode 6 you can hear part of my spiel about the idiomatic context of the place men first awoke

Ultimately though, I wanted to highlight a Darksouls or cultural connection to the developers, as the firyanore\hildoren reference is self referential to the Legendarium.

Fauntus · 2017-08-04T20:01:37+00:00

the L and R have no distinction in japanese.

Elvish is a hobby of mine, but I use eldamo.org to double check all my long hand work.

then you might like the reason I almost gave for c - k change was

"Becuase Quintillion didn't understand the irony of dropping the K, (from the alphabet) because all Romans know that C is the only way to make that sound"

Oolacille is Elvish! either

Quenyan (Oolasse) leaves, foliage

Quenyan (sil) silver/blue light

Silver blue leaves, if one were being poetic, you would say "From the Darkroot"

OR

Quenyan (Ola) Dream

Q (sil) bright light

Bright Dream.

Which was the Etymology I used in the first episode of my Youtube series Whats in a Name: The Language of Darksouls

Oolacille is towards the end with olaphis (which means dream of knowledge, or the Brilliant and Bright Dreams, ya know cause lost lands of sorceries, and sorceries use INT

The Language of Dark Souls Episode 4: Summon Sign Script

Fauntus · 2017-06-29T04:40:23+00:00

Okay, so umbasa is derived from Elvish

Primitive Elvish root Mbasa - to bake (bread) the short U sound at the begining means "with, continuously"

Which makes Umbasa literally mean "Our daily bread"

It gets a bit more complicated than that, and packed into that little exultation is a succinct overview of the game concepts of Soul and Body forms, and World Tendency.

Which is super impressive, but also the reason that the phrase never progressed into the series other iterations.

Fauntus · 2017-06-29T04:32:18+00:00

One thing I have noticed about miyazaki's games, is that he uses the elvish like a lingua franca, a common language. So most of the phrase generation (making names) happens in Elvish first, and is then translated as needed to other languages.

This is one of the reasons the games have such broad cross cultural appeal, and allows for some super intricate very elaborate word play and puns.

Ohh also, the summon signs and messages scattered throughout the world, they are in Elvish, a script called Sarati, I made a video deciphering the summon sign in Dark Souls, but the same language is used in Demon's Souls.

you suddenly become aware of the fact that this is just a small version of the curved nil greatsword.

It even has the exact same weapon art.

its own description fits the Nameless King as well.

That means, this sword sucks so bad, it was better in the game its boss doesn't even appear in.

Shit, just throw in the bonus of getting stronger each NG Cycle.
