Lore Lowdown 2 year Anniversary Stream Event

Are... we going to be able to get a translation or a post detailing what was gone over in this?

From what I could tell there was something about the Pugilist Guild, the Miqo'te portrait...

One I'm really interested is that it seemed to also talk about Sasamo's Sins!!

So far the only thing I've been able to make out is that the Eighth Hell exists and manifests as a lore tour in a language I can't understand, yet.

Also, I dig the Anonymario shirt. Is he incognito because it's SEHQ?

was really expecting this one to be atleast translated to english, since koji was there. Highly disappointed, would have been great to know about nald, about the invisible city...

since its about 8 am will just go to sleep , since it seems to be pointless. <sigh>

Small update, Bayohne says that this section won't get a forum post tonight, but they'll make sure we get something with the info on it in the future.

For now we just hang tight and salivate, I suppose :p

Please look forward to it.™

But yeah, it looked like they spent a lot of time looking at depictions of the Twelve :O :O :O

Kami can mean god or paper. But I think Kami-sama is used for a high god like Amaterasu.

If someone can hook me up with a recording of the live letter I can do a translation, though it might take some time (need to find the time to do the actual translating).

There was a later segment on Aetherytes as well, though I believe the dev team promised to go over that information in one of their Duty Commenced episodes. It held at least one big tease, about the history of Aetherytes and that we might discover more about them some day.

God(s). Yes 'kami' can mean paper, but like this it is most definitely god(s). Specifically the Twelve in this case.

Just recalling from memory...

On the AST cards, they were actually talking about how you can find depictions of the 12 in them.
E.g. Halone is the figure in the "Spear" card.

- On the steps, they talked about how there is a missing step if you go count it and how it was decided to be "buried in the sand". There was supposed to be a subquest on knowing all the sins of Sasamo but it was never fleshed out completely and now 3.0 hit and it would be strange to go back to it....but they said they might if they get the chance to.

- On the Gladiator banner, they talked about how they came to the design...basically a flaming sword. Sword for the guild, flame due to the fact fire is one of the 2 representation on the Uldahn Scale.

I vaguely recall they were joking about the relations between Oschon and Llymraen since they both govern the sea.
- That mermaid statue in Aleport is supposed to be a depiction of Llymraen.
- That lighthouse off Costa Del Sol used to be accessible in 1.0, but no longer so due to the Cataclysm.
- The bridge in lower La' Noscea is named Bridge of the Lost?. It turned out the river was not supposed to be there in the design, dried up by the cataclysm. But the design team figured it looks really ugly without a river so they added it back. In the end they changed the lore to say the bridge means that those who crossed it to adventure tends to become lost...etc
- Bones of Saraios in Upper La Noscea is not really that monster in legend, just named by locals because they didn't know any better. Then they talked about the legend of the pair of monsters. Created to create the seas and tossed aside by the Hydaelyn when she decided there is enough water...or something like that.
- Waterfall of Fools is so named for the fools who jumped off the top of it.

Ha! I knew that wasn't Thalaos. And I'll continue to stand by the belief that Thalaos, and Perykos for that matter (even thought the myth only claims the one serpent), never existed in reality.

Wait, wait, wait. They spoke of the "pair"? Even though the game hasn't mentioned Perykos since 1.0? Odd. And you're sure they said "Hydaelyn" and not Llymlaen?

Anyway, thank you for sharing, Tymora!
