The game's lore suggests that both Rykard and the snake had fused into one being, one mind. I always thought his weird way of talking was just a side effect of basically trying to speak like a person but only had the body of a snake so everything comes out hiss like and drawn out. Sounds funny but is a pretty neat detail

Dung eater is chaotic evil too, but he is not a faction on his own. And i guess Godrick's faction. And the Children of the rot, even tho their "godess" rejects them. Lawful good : Redmane soldiers, Clearot knights, Miquella's knights. Neutral good : Carian Royal familly, Albinaurics, Dragons. Chaotic good : .... i don't think there is a faction that fits... Maybe the cult of undeath ? Fia and Rogier are pretty much irresponsible do gooders who want to save the undead. Oh, and of course, the Jarrs. Lawful neutral : Leyndell faction (Morgott), Fire giants, Golden order (even if manipulated) True neutral : Roundtable hold (by making the average of everyone in it) Raya lucaria academy. Chaotic Neutral : ..... patches. Beastmen of farum azula.

I dunnooooooo, mohg don't strike me as lawful evil. Much more chaotic evil, given he serves the formless mother (a outer god of twisting pain and formlessness doesn't really give Lawful vibes) countlessly luring his followers in to be sacrificed to miquella whom he abducted (constant betrayal and lies are another sign of chaotic V lawful, not that lawful can't lie or betray, but Moghs whole base of operations and his running of faith is based on deception of those beneath him for his gain) I'm with you on the manor and the frenzied flame though. Personally I also feel the godskin be more neutral evil, as they are a fine balance between Moghs heinous acts of sacrifice and torture, but they also really do have an order, a hierarchy, and defined purpose out in the active world that isn't just slaughtering people for a faith based and partially unreciprocated "hope" as mogh, their killing has a directly achievable result of their design (they collect skin to grow in power to defy and slay gods) In truth, I think the only ones that properly fall into lawful evil are along the lines of the golden order, a very lawful establishment and anyone who calls them good is delusional xD

So it's probable that it was this woman that birthed the manserpent. It's also said that Tanith was the godmother of Rya, not her true mother, and when she discover the truth, Tanith gives you a potion to allow Rya to forget everything she saw.

Your videos are great. There's a serious absence of lore videos from my typical sources, and so far you've given nothing but reliable information condensed into an easily digestible narration and I appreciate it. I can't really sort through it all myself. When I'm playing, I tend to focus on the fights ahead first, and then once I've made enough progress to be curious, there are just too many items for me to sort through when I want to find out about just one specific character. This really helps link them together and frame them better for me.

Thank you for not putting spoilers in your videos. You’re the one lore youtuber I’ve found who has videos that you can watch before finishing the game. Extremely well made too.

One of the places Martin's influence feels strongest is the characterization of named NPCs. While Rykard's motivations are justified, his means of doing things are pretty bad and his cause is secretly compromised by a secret ominous force (Stannis anyone?). At the same time Rya, a direct product of Volcano Manor who'd be another malevolent trickster in most other fantasy games, is essentially blameless and even endearing in her refusal to feel ashamed of nature.
