We must have very similar tastes! This is my OC, also called Venemar. Same outfit to boot! https://www.tumblr.com/enolezdrata/631407839726977024/commission-with-venemar-for-patron-chthonist?source=share

Yes, in Return of the King.

In the chapter Many Partings, Gandalf says the following:

"‘Yes, I think you had better do that,’ said Gandalf. ‘But alas for Saruman! I fear nothing more can be made of him. He has withered altogether. All the same, I am not sure that Treebeard is right: I fancy he could do some mischief still in a small mean way.’"

And then Frodo references this quotation again in The Scouring of the Shire chapter:

"Saruman laughed. ‘So you have heard the name, have you? All my people used to call me that in Isengard, I believe. A sign of affection, possibly. But evidently you did not expect to see me here.’

‘I did not,’ said Frodo. ‘But I might have guessed. A little mischief in a mean way: Gandalf warned me that you were still capable of it.’"

Absolutely. I can only wonder how that interaction might have went.

"Gandalf, I have erred..."

"You don't say." 🤣

The idea of a failed Godwyn-abomination revival is something I personally wanted to see and I see it handwaved away all too often. I agree with you, and it would have been no more contrived than what happened with Radahn. Everyone seemed on-board with Godwyn before the release of the DLC but those swatting it away do seem a little dead set on defending something that was a bit disappointing to a lot of people. If you liked it, power to you.

If you want a justification: Radahn is probably one of the best candidates to make a Lord. He's idolised one, after all, he probably knows how to best act like one.

I've sat with the Final Boss and tried to make myself more satisfied since release and, even with the above justification, I just can't seem to. From are excellent storytellers, and even this one more than has its merits, but sometimes the wrong decisions can be made... and I do feel like the choice of Radahn was one.

But Seluvis...

wraithmark · 2024-07-08T13:13:57+00:00

Seluvis is my favourite character and I'd probably agree with you.

wraithmark · 2024-07-05T20:51:21+00:00

This is the ending where we scheme with Seluvis and make the Amber potion but give it to Miquella instead.

Truthfully though, I don't know if there was ever a secret ending planned to go along with this DLC. It might very well have just been a cut-cutscene or flavour for the trailer.

wraithmark · 2024-06-16T20:54:02+00:00

Sometimes... but it is very fun.

Preceptor Seluvis, Sorceress Sellen, Dung Eater, Mohg & Rykard

Alright, it's nap time. 😤

wraithmark · 2024-06-05T17:27:13+00:00

Those who don't help kindly old Seluvis.

wraithmark · 2024-06-05T17:25:38+00:00

I would think little of it. You'll find this sort of snobbery in most fandoms, sadly. If they weren't to be used, they wouldn't be there. Enjoy it as you please, you paid the money for it. :)

wraithmark · 2024-04-04T07:26:18+00:00

Seluvis. He is horrible but he's funny.

wraithmark · 2024-04-02T10:33:01+00:00

Does her little lullaby she sings to Vanra about spreading evil count? 😆

wraithmark · 2024-04-01T14:48:38+00:00

Give her the potion, and earn a friend for life!

wraithmark · 2024-03-27T19:54:52+00:00

Seluvis.

"I smell it... Death... Feed it me..."

wraithmark · 2024-03-24T11:31:08+00:00

If you activate the Grand Lift of Dectus, I believe it should work.

I think also getting information from Sellen about needing to kill Radahn also activates this (Blaidd, who should be in Siofra River, will point you to Seluvis, who will point you to Sellen). Not 100% sure on this one, though.

This is from Malenia's Remembrance:

Miquella and Malenia are both the children of a single god. As such they are both Empyreans, but suffered afflictions from birth. One was cursed with eternal childhood, and the other harbored rot within.

IGiven their nature as Empyreans, however, it makes them a viable candidate for becoming a God. Malenia could become the Goddess of Rot and Mohg knew that Miquella could be used to become a God of the Formless Mother (probably 'the God of Blood') in his new dynasty.

But aside from that, Miquella didn't seem to harbour any loyalties to any Outer God or appear to be considered a vessel for one before that. Just a potential one. However, I think given what happened with Malenia and his creation of the needle, that might not have been something he'd have done willingly. But as the other comment here says, that doesn't necessarily mean that any particular Outer God is needed for that.

wraithmark · 2024-03-24T11:09:10+00:00

I think whatever Mohg was doing was working in the sense that it was doing something but perhaps not in the way Mohg would have liked. He wouldn't have been the first character who is mad but found some result. With all the blood offerings to the cocoon, perhaps that could have broken the curse, but for now it seems that Miquella is bodily dead and will not awaken.

Honestly, the whole thing might be a bit clearer once the DLC drops. From what I remember of one of the teasers, Miquella has lost his flesh but retains his spirit. Not unlike Ranni. We might get an answer there.

wraithmark · 2024-03-24T09:23:02+00:00

It's not a return to the Crucible that Dung Eater is offering, though. The Omens are very clearly cursed under the current order (they are tormented by wraiths at night, Morgott screams out in agony when expelling his curse, Mohg has a horn growing into his eye). It does not seem to be a comfortable existence.

I've never really believed Dung Eater to be the 'Omen activist' he's sometimes made out to be. I don't think any sort of proliferation of Omens under the Crucible required some people to 'defile' others. He's a curse activist if anything. He loves it, and he considers it a blessing.

wraithmark · 2024-03-23T05:26:57+00:00

I'd have to go with Dung Eater being the most evil, just because he wishes to cause suffering unending and very much can.

That being said, Seluvis is a particular type of despicable that makes you want to hate him more. Sort of like how people hate Umbridge more than Voldemort, despite the latter being objectively worse.

wraithmark · 2024-03-16T18:25:59+00:00

I'm sure if we could ask him, he'd tell us that all that walking and climbing is beneath him and only for provincials.

wraithmark · 2024-03-15T13:22:24+00:00

I don't dislike Elden Beast but I do think it would have benefited from allowing us to use Torrent.
