The fact that the Sankta were once Sarkaz is insane to me. Two species who hate each other with every literal fiber of their being, once came from the same ancestors.

I don't think they are similar to the preserver. Friston(the preserver) himself call 'the law' as "a machine lacking any self-awareness in the name of a God, to fulfill a mission it cannot even understand" Their origin "might" Be related, but their being and purpose are completely different

Not quite, *heavy lore warning* Sankta is basically sarkaz that is bounded by "the law". When sankta broke "the law", they lost their inherent abilities, their halo and wing faded and, for some cases, grows long lost horn and tail
All of their genetic variations that would make them "different" from Precursors are suppressed by the LAW. The moment LAW expels them they "fall" and that suppression ends leading to the genetic traits like horns or tails re-emerging
Imagine accidentally shooting your neighbor and getting expelled, only to find out that you are a Diablo and now the entire Rhine Lab is on your ass for the rest of your life.
@@tweetug3697 that makes sense if you have a cultural idea of what christianity and Angels are, if not I think the more rational reaction would be "oh god oh fuck why are you glowing?? Why can't I feel my horns?? Why can I feel everybody's emotions??"
Better than live in endless war They achieve what their original kind can't reach Peace They're not just successfully reach peace with others race but also became intermediaries from other countries to maintain peace
Because Sankta betrayed Sarkaz. Not sure what exactly they betrayed about. Whether it's betrayed Sarkaz from joining them in revenge to all ancients that destroy Teekaz civilization or abandon Sarkaz collective hatred to save themselves.
@@neardarkroad1347 Sankta leave Kazdel and Sarkaz when their city wes about to be raid by enemies, so after Kazdel at that time fell, Sarkaz hold grudges against Sankta for abandoned thier own kin in the worst time. Sarkaz and Sankta became enemy since then.
@@VeryNormalGuy9 really felt sorry for Sarkaz. I don't necessarily reject their intention of war in current main story arc but I don't agree with the way their are doing it either. I rather they doing it lowest casualties on all side possible while having future plan to really build Kazdel again, not just walls, floors and roofs. A real new future, free from their literal collective hatred. Ironically, Kazdel could be a nation for infected since Sarkaz doesn't even care about their infection. Unlike reunion who doesn't have any concrete plan about saving Infected, other than "we kick non-infected ass and make them infected".
No, Arknights only go as far as 'demigod' or deity. Just a powerful being compared to the rest, it's similar to our world myth and legend, for example legend from Egypt like RA, Osiris or from Japan like 9 tailed fox. Those kind of being, not really a God. For this machine is only for this particular race called "Sankta". You can understand if you look up "Arknights The Law" You'll understand why this particular race follow the law from a machine.
Ch12 foreshadowed this, as it was said that the Sarkaz do not forgive the betrayal of the Sankta. In Lonetrail, nothing was built above the Preserver, as it was isolated, while Laterano is implied to be built above "The Law".

Yes this Image really got to me
Trully a hard image.
Bro need to protect the holy land😅
that image goes so hard bruh😂
That Sankta be teaching that one Wendigo to parry this one as the Wendigo is a filthy casual.

Man i love the unique story telling approach here, def suit the mystic and archaic vibe
Laterano music always goes hard af.
Literally the biblically accurate version of "thou shall not be afraid but TERRIFIED"
This is how all Sankta was born
They're betrayed sarkaz, betrayed once land called teekaz

Arknights keeps dropping these insane lore videos with music and artstyles unique to the region, truly a gift that keeps on giving🔥🔥
so...that is what andoain saw when the santa sankta brought him to the "truth"....dayum (talking about the boxes floating)
Sankta's church music never stop to amaze me 😂, the beat drop always made my heart skip a beat
The Latin in this video is actually extremly accurate. Very cool!
AMEN

For the faithless we declare, "PICK A GOD AND PRAY!!!"
Literally got a goosebumps throughout watching this
1:07
This pic goes so hard, it got noticed by non arknights players/fans, and also a few thought it was made from AI (I'm told, though)
That has been my wallpaper since the trailer came out on the CN stream 🗿
There's no way that some people think the fire image was AI generated.
Even tho it's clearly not AI generated, the fact that some of the current AIs can make something that goes hard as this with very little mistakes is pretty scary ngl
Give them this and let their reaction speak for us.
People these days... anything = AI art lmao
They're as annoying as AI "artists"

Welcome to Sankta World !
I need Laterano operators especially Federico got latin VA 😭😭😭
Wait a minute, if Sankta were all once Sarkaz, then does that mean some rare Sarkaz sub-race is hidden on each Sanktas?
Time to human experiment them, I guess

was the giant machine the law?
"I sure hope Lemuen will be released as a playable 6* Deadeye sniper in this event!"
Combining the origin of the Khala with the Burning Bush and the Ten Commandments.
Bunch a guys wandering through the wastes, see some boxes and decide "alright, these boxes are god now, let's build a city here lol"
The "god" also grants them halo and wings. I'm pretty sure I'll be worshipping it too after seeing that.
