@@gnb_2476 or would be much, much harder to complete. "hunt 2 sea birds" umm.. pretty sure those are extinct now since they won't even spawn in/near Cassardis anymore...
Really hope this series continues! I love DDDA and having someone covering the lore of this VERY underrated gem is wonderful to see. Keep up the awesome work my guy!
Rest easy! There's plenty of more lore vids in the works. At least there's a few now and there will be a few after. However many our team can run with at once. 😁👌
Another excellent lore video! This one has that true Vaati DNA in it. Just four short pieces of text in-game about a character that we never meet and who a lot of players probably don't know the existence of... yet you guys were able to make a seven minute lore video on him. Very impressive indeed! Now we just need the Crown of the Emerald King DLC for Dark Souls 2... the ultimate crossover!
Cheers my man! I'm amazed how the Pawned Pawn have managed to create a story out of the little information available to us. Haha yeah, the ultimate crossover for sure!
@@The_Rift Doing what I can. It was an incredible experience, and for all you might say you're the MVP for making it possible. Otherwise, best case scenario it'd be a big text post on Reddit with maybe ten people ever seeing it. 😆
I hope it didn't disappoint. The little information available told a big story but a lot of it was still guesswork. Sadly, unless something more official comes out about The Emerald King we probably won't even be able to guess at much more than this.
@@Nero_PR true, the Steward could be. I'm still 99% convinced the king was male though since "king" is a traditionally male monarch title, its female equivalent is "queen". other examples of male and female monarch titles are: "prince", "princess", "duke", "duchess", "lord", "lady", "count", "countess", "sultan", "sultina", "tsar", "tsarina", "emperor", and "emperess", while titles like "pharaoh", and "jarl" are gender neutral.
@@ThePawnedPawn agreed. he/him/his are gendered pronouns that are used to identify male individuals. she/her for female, while they/them/their/it/its are gender neutral
I know you pointed it out but it really does make you think how brave fisherman are in Gransy’s (sp). One small mistake of falling into the water can get you torn apart.
How can i not. I played since the ps3 original and i'm still playing it and you people keep the wheel of fate spinning so much love respect and thx to you and your content 😘👍👊
What i want to know is why is the final quest one you can only get if you got to bbi before post game when if you can only get the quests that come before it after the final quest is already unobtainable. Thats weird as fuck as a game design decision. Also sweet thumbnail art.
I believe there's a reason for it. It tells us we're too late. No matter what we do, we can't actually help. However fast we complete these quests time is up and we're just laying ghosts to rest. That and for some reason they really wanted us to go to The Flameservant's Throne which is impossible post-dragon. I dunno, honestly. There's a great number of things that it could be and we can only guess at them. But somehow the anachronistic order feels right to me. This is something that was done on purpose. We were meant to complete them out of order. There's one possibility that really hits in a tragic way, too: The Grand Chamberlain, out of everyone who ever entered the island, escaped unassisted. Mortally wounded, they put their dying wish to the board but, realizing they were already too late, they simply left to die in their homeland. And so the last wish they made was the first we found.
@@ThePawnedPawn thing is if the last request is put up before post dragon and the first three after post dragon, then that implies somebody had to be there to put them up on the board. So unless some unexplained lore thing is fucking with time, then that implies he still has to be around.
@@DragonGunzDorian It's a good theory, since most undertaking the quest are going to be NG+. But we're also talking about Capcom here. Dragon's Dogma had an amazing team, but not a flawless one. See, these quests do not have NG+ as a prerequisite... If one were to head to Bitterblack Island immediately before facing Grigori they would have a decent chance of being able to acquire the first (fourth) quest. They might even have what it takes to accomplish it. The rest aren't any more difficult to complete, but are much more difficult to acquire since more is involved in reaching them. By quest-locking them to the post-game they planned for players to have better equipment, skills, and hired pawns. Still, it's admittedly supposition as to the reason. But no, the Grand Chamberlain is no longer with us. Even if they were, the Emerald King certainly is not. Their posting new quests wouldn't make any sense or serve any purpose. It's a tragedy, and one we can largely only guess at.
@@Jsnipes98 I'm putting together an outline still but his story will be told. Or theirs. There are at least two separate Daimons. That'll be the real fun part to dive into...

I can only hope to one day rival VaatiVidya's quality. 😃 Just one of a number of inspirations for what I do.
@@ThePawnedPawnwhat’s happened? New DD2 fan - did The Rift hire you or…? I don’t see any new videos on your channel
@@wolfiemuse I do some of the writing for Rift's videos. Most of my own content is private. 😅
@@ThePawnedPawn Ah, okay, fair. You enjoying DD2? :)
@@wolfiemuse Sadly I can't afford it yet, but the lore team is still eating well. There's a lot in DD2 to bite off.
I never even heard of the Emerald King, and I've been playing for years... thanks for the lore video.
ah, right, the notice boards, now I remember.
Cheers man, glad you enjoyed this Stormblade.
I miss so much with the notice boards. I'll get distracted with other quests and next thing the quest won't be there

Filling out the last requests of a ghost via notice board quests is chilling, and very on brand for Bitterblack Ilse

A lot of what I do is not just reading what's there, but reading what isn't. The scraps tell a lot more than what is written.
@@ThePawnedPawn Big Brain for sure! You nailed this, man!
Its the witch again!
@@DragonGunzDorian Pretty sure Selene said she died. Then we talked to her ghost.
🤷
I love you guys for making these. Thank you so much! Each one is so much appreciated.
Cheers John, I love making these. The Pawned Pawn really makes the story interesting with his unique writing.
@@The_Rift I love Pawnee! That’s what I call him xD You guys really do a great job on these !

Your lore video are very enjoyable to watch as always my guy :D
Really glad to hear that my man :)
Haha I love the pronunciation @1:33 of malady: M'lady *tips hat*
I really enjoy the music you chose for this. Reminds me of Elder Scrolls.
Im so glad this games getting done recognition. Always been a fan
I really need to start reading the quest text. Great video dude.

Heck ya been waiting for this

@@ThePawnedPawn yes maybe so butnits a good guess an video.so much lore about the old arisins an other locations that haven't been sn visited
Love your lore videos 🥰👌 Nicely done hun!
Thanks love 💙
I would assume the Emerald King is a male, given that "king" is traditionally a male monarch title, but the chamberlain could be female, IDK.
That is definitely a possibility. We aren't given that detail. I made sure that was put in the script too. 👍
Knowing DD's beloved system, it could be any type of person hahahaha
@@Nero_PR true, the Steward could be. I'm still 99% convinced the king was male though since "king" is a traditionally male monarch title, its female equivalent is "queen". other examples of male and female monarch titles are: "prince", "princess", "duke", "duchess", "lord", "lady", "count", "countess", "sultan", "sultina", "tsar", "tsarina", "emperor", and "emperess", while titles like "pharaoh", and "jarl" are gender neutral.
@@lordreptilestormblade1749 That and the Emerald King is referred to as HIS youthful majesty, so... Arsemus II is pretty definitely male...

I didnt even remember a dude like this existed or was mentioned in the game
He's mentioned only in the four notice board quests.
Muito bom,continue fazendo conteúdo com legendas em PT-BR ajuda muito a entender
He might be the king of Voldran
A really interesting story, i will definitely check the notice boards on my next run of bitter black isle.
I hope in the end the emerald king lived and the senate got what they deserved
I love this
