Genuinely one of my favourite CR episodes ever. Brennan got to debut another Just A Little Guy, Laura got to traumatise us with Vax analogies and the reat of the whole episode was an excuse to air out family drama.
My favorite moment in the episode was the talk between Father Milo and Ayden outside the hospital room. I really appreciate the consistency between Milos argument here, and the one given in Avalir. I also like how Ayden was about to hear Milo out, and conclude with a recognition that they had both betrayed each other in the end. Other than that, I predict Cognoza teleports out!
I love Noshir's RP style. The way he plays The Emissary and how he played Dr. Rajan Savarimuthu in Candela, you can just feel the weight the character carries. I feel like when Laura was in her Divine Form, she was channeling the performance of The Matron from TLoVM.
Honestly I was howling at the raven queen doing an epic arcane gate and then Silaha going "ooooh not quite" and having to dimension door them down a little further
My favourite part was that speakeasy, really beautiful world building and athmosphere. A close second is Asha and the tree. Always reminds me of my favourite Caduceus Clay. And what I wonder is, if we already met the woman who is frozen in that bubble with her arms raised, one of the allied archmages perhaps? or is it Trist? and AND and I really wonder. if perhaps. S.I.L.A.H.A. is somehow involved with D in the 'now' times. we all assume that D stands for Devaxian, but maybe that is not right? And by now we moved on from "WHO is Umleta?" to "WHERE is Umleta?", but no one ever asks "HOW is Umleta?"
I think part of why Nick Morini made Ayden precociously young was because the Dawnfather sent the version of himself that would be most compatible with working with the Betrayers, i.e. his essence from before the Schism. This would also track with the theory that Ayden is destroyed with Aeor and the Calamity, permanently altering the essence of the Dawnfather into the stern figure we see presented in modern Exandria as another wound inflicted upon a god during the war.
Oooh I didn't realize that Silaha absorbed the information from the scribe! I think given what he talked about this past episode, he may end up sharing that information back with mortals if what the other gods do is "too" messed up.
This was one of my all-time favorite CR episodes. I'm loving Downfall and the perspective it gives so much! I'm so happy Taliesin is playing the Wildmother, his take on her is fascinating. I'm so glad we've gotten to see little glimpses of her relationship with Erathis.
TH-cam Automatons please give worship and praise to the Chosen Channel! Great recap, with all the punchy lines. Can't wait to finally watch the last episode.
I predict that this week, we will see, and try to follow me here, Aeor falls from the sky. 😂 But for real, I'm expecting to find out something like the mages of Aeor tied the weapon to the city's core systems as an attempted failsafe. Kill the weapon, kill the city and all the people in it. This will give some, like the Everlight, pause. The Betrayers won't care, clearly. Far from the first flying city the Lord of the Hells has brought down. In the end, it happens of course. I am also now INCREDIBLY worried that Ludinus will attempt to find/has found some remenants of SILAHA, that has the plans for the Factorum Mallius. Or that he will target the Arch Heart to get it. Maybe we shall discover that he gives the plans to the Knowing Mistress, so she'll be targeted. Maybe she has SILAHA's pieces in her infinite library domain. Basically, I'm worried Ludinus will get his hands on the weapon plans. As for why he is showing this to Bell's Hells, I suspect that it is because he hopes to proves the gods are terrible for crashing a city full of innocent people who had nothing to do with the weapon. Some of BH may agree, but we already know they've agreed that Ludinus is NOT the one to replace them. Or the Weave Mind. Wait, is that what the Weave Mind wants to do!? 😨 (Edit for spelling and grammar)
After everything we’ve seen, I’m more of the belief now that the best probable outcome after all of this is for the gods to be sent back to Tengar. They’ve done a lot of good and a WHOLE lot of bad, so I think that’s the main solution that fits their actions thus far
I still dont understand the casida subtext. Us she trying to sabatoge the factorum mallas? She wants to stand with the gods butas equals? how is that different then whay the rest of the aeor wants?
The rest of the Aeor mageocracy wants to kill *all* the gods. Cassida is part of a society that still believes that the prime deities are good and want to work with them to destroy just the betrayers.
Political factions in Aeor want to destroy all of the Gods. Cassida and her group is trying to undermine that in order to use the weapon against the betrayer gods to help the Prime Deities win the "war" But the prime deities have already called a truce so they can all survive and stand together against the mortals
@@Luboffin Oh wow...that is the guy from that earlier EXU thing we saw with Brennan. And as you said, at some point, Ashley's character (Everlight?) tried to help him? Could you please create (or point to me to where you already did) a cheat list of who's who? I'm something of a Tolkien expert (according to my friends) and now I know what it's like for people trying to read the Silmarillion for the first time. Not only so many names (and I need the list connected to the real humans), but there's a history between these people that isn't easily known (at least not by me). I'm trying to just enjoy the interplay between everyone [and yes, like you said, they need to have character cards for the Betrayer god individuals], but am aware that there's a deep backstory with these people. If it wasn't for you, I'd probably have quit watching in the first 15 minutes because I was so lost.
@@Luboffin thank you, I watched it a second time. ❤️ Is that lore something Matt has written somewhere? Sounds a lot like the Silmarillion, which can be a tough read…but necessary if one really wants to understand the world Tolkien created.
@@ccreasman It's a combination of lore found in Taldorei Reborn, Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, and stuff that has been said in game. But yeah the books are great sources for the overall lore
Don’t really like this 3 part series . It’s Hard to understand and stuff , especially for those who don’t know much about the gods . I give it a 1 out of 100
Dear TH-cam Automatons,
This is a great recap that critters everywhere will be happy to find in their feed.
Sincerely,

next time you're in a job interview channel Slich: "I am bound to the chain store might of Starbucks, buuut I would love a chance to betraaaaay"

Its been confirmed that dying in mortal form wont kill them but it will stop them from getting back to aeor
the tree was a gift from the golden scythe, so it was likely from avalir before its destruction centuries before
Loved Asha's moment with the tree, absolutely epic
I'm predicting that Ayden will die a sacrificial death for the sake of all mortals.

Thank you for these. I loved ExU Calamity but having a hard time following along to this series.
Thank you so much for this! I tried three times to listen to the podcast version on my hour drive to work and i just couldnt follow it.

Karsus tried to replace the god of magic as well.
Didn’t they say that Ayden wasn’t an actual god? But the son of Pelor who became a follower of the Everlight?
Great recap! Thank you so much!
Another banger recap! Well done!
Loving these recaps luna! Watching them before i start the next episode is so helpful
Thank you for this summary.

I'm watching this while imbibing 20 bottles of liquor (okay, just part of 1 bottle).
Team Slitch.
Thanks as always Luna!!!
Thank you!
Another fantastic recap! The ending seconds of your video bout made me choke!!!
love it thank you
I wish I had a better sense of Aeor as a place and its people.
Fantastic recap! Also, who wrote the poem?
I still dont understand the casida subtext. Us she trying to sabatoge the factorum mallas? She wants to stand with the gods butas equals? how is that different then whay the rest of the aeor wants?

(or basically what Luna said, that I couldn't see when I created my response for some reason)
Still waiting for ludinis' point, why is he showing BH this cuz atm there's is nothing horrifying that could lead BH to swap sides
Is it the same Halas as in Campaign 2?
No, Halas timeskipped through the Calamity, and the boy's name is Hallis.
👍
Who is Father Milo? He’s one of the Betrayer Gods, right?
Yes he is Asmodeus, the Lord of the Hells 😈

Yeah I'm sorry, I filmed this and my last video in the same session and didn't realise I was bumping the stand. It will be fixed for next video!
They just saved ludanous
Legit thought this too! Hallis might be his original name.
First!!
