The Lore of Cultist Simulator (Part 3): The Hours
It has been a long time coming, this third CS video of mine, but even still I think I chose a good day for it to go live on.
I would like to make a special thanks to Blueberry ( / @blueberrywolf ) who helped me a great deal with my getting my audio to the point its at here today.
Yes, this is a reupload, I got some useful advice, and I figured that I might as well while the video is still fresh.

Damn beat me to it
CS does something I really enjoy in more urban fantasy stories: not all of the gods are extremely ancient. Of course there are “x god was just born” a fair bit, but I find it interesting when there are god where they’re like “yeah about 80 years ago blah blah blah ascended”. Like recent in cosmic scale but still old in human terms. Also, I fucking love when gods are killed but in a way that is like ontologically satisfying. Like, as you said, the Tide was usurped by Grail, but the specific wording is fantastic. The tide was liquid, and the grail is an hour of thirst. Grail probably literally actually drank an old god.

Even if the colonel isn’t exactly “recent”, the fact that he’s depicted in a “modern” (for the setting) way is really neat.
Just in time for the new Book of Hours game!
As someone terrible at Cultist Simulator, I greatly appreciate this lore series!
I love the way you've gone so cryptic with all this, and the atmosphere is perfect. You worked hard for the visuals and it shows, but just the background image and creepy music is almost enough in itself. Nicely done
Damn the quality INCREASED. Please do these more and more frequently. Seriously, you have gotten so much better. These videos must take so much work. Cant wait to say “i have been watching this guy since 500 subs” when you will be at 100k.
Awesome! Perfect timing friend. You should really think about doing these more frequently. They are each of real quality, and you have a clear knack for it! With the Book of Hours out now... Many more will be in need of your guidance!
BREATHTAKING. I have been greatly anticipating your continued exploration of this wonderful world, and you have not disappointed. Masterful work!
crazy that I have 6 or 7 dozen hours in this game and still feel like I only have the startings of any kind of insight into the deeper workings of things. Thanks for the super insightful video
I really really hope you keep doing this for more lore, like specific histories surrounding specific entities. So much more source material too, now with Book of Hours out. Thank you for making this

I’m planning on it but where to go from here is hard, I’m prolly gonna hold off for a bit while BoH is still a recent release and work on some other projects. Give the fandom some time to push through the new lore before I do something more.
My favorite bad reviews of cultist simulator are ones that claim the game offers no instruction or clues. There are literally clues everywhere, on every card, in almost every bit of text. Its what makes the game so good! My advice to anyone struggling with cultist simulator is to not just learn how to read, but also comprehend.
Nice to see that you're still making these. Keep up the good work!
The only watchable occultist
The gods of Lovecraft lie in the cosmos and spaces between. The gods of Cultist simulator lie in dreams and the spaces around. The difference between these two divine settings is subtle, yet ever so important. Edit: I mispelled settings as "settongs" ;~;
Let the Watchman bless you, lantern For you spreading thy light for those who want and for those who don't
I liked the line about the Elegaist and some scholar may find something. It's a reference that won't last long but those who know will understand [as will the Suppression Bureau]
The Wolf Divided haveth 3 natures, He unmaketh, he unmaketh, he unmaketh. This is the line of division. (Hope I got that right)
The light. It penetrates the mind. Illuminate. More. I NEED MORE. (Great video btw)
The untold 31st Hour, aditopian, Narrator of Eyes is an Hour of Moth, Knock and Lantern, for it is not their answer that is yes, but yours.

So when the Forge Divided the Sun-In-Splendor is that not just another form of the crime of the sky? Some way of subverting the Rules? There were 2-3 Hours “born” of its death? And I remember somewhere reading that the Sun-In-Splendor will be reborn

The crime of the sky is related to sexual reproduction specifically I believe. The gods born from the Sun-In-Splendor’s death weren’t born this way so it doesn’t really count.

I have to say, very impressive work. You are in a consitend tone with the original work and thebuse of tge music and artwork is very on point. The atmosphere is a big and very good part of the games and you are very much nailing it. You give enough information and connection one can understand, but not enough one can fully grasp it. This is very good work, I just can repeat it and I want to see more while I continoue myself on the journy.

This may be updated with the new game tho. In BoH, some new hours have been canonized (mainly the Chandler), and we actually get to see different principles, which current theory is tht they may correspond to the proto ones.

I don’t really think the new principles are proto ones. I think they might either be aspect from another history or aspects we just haven’t seen before. But I’m not sure I believe that they’re proto aspects.

@aditopian
Жыл бұрын
My understanding was that the Flowermaker, was born out of the intercalate. That’s why I included him there, which might not have made for the best taxonomy. The Wolf Divided, however, is more a God-From-Blood than a god from light so I didn’t. I have a plan to someday remake all the CSLORE vids with better audio and I’ll probably move things around in that one, especially when we know more from BoH, which I’m fully expecting will make a lot of my things defunct anyway.
25:50 Is your repetition here in the potential origins of “The Door in the Eye” intentional? Or, was it perhaps a second take of the line included by accidental erroneous editing? I am aware that such things often happen in the creation works such as these. But I do not wish to assume.

Question! How do we know that the lithomachy happened before the intercalet? Because I always thought that the sun's death was like the big bang,the beginning of the world as we know it and that things like the murder of the gods of stone would not happen under the supervision of the sun in splendor
@aditopian
11 ай бұрын
Because the Gods-from-Flesh predate the Intercalate. There’s references, for example, to the Grail anticipating the union between the Sun-In-Splendour and the Forge. We also know that the Forge and the Sun arrived around the time of the Lithomachy (the exact order of events isn’t fully clear to me) and that the Forge killed a God-from-Stone (Flint) which was part of the Lithomachy.

@@aditopian what do you mean arrived,like came to life? also are we sure that the gods like the Grail and moth where not gods before the lithomachy because we know you don't have to kill a good to become an hour ( lionsmith) so maybe the lithomachy happened after the murderer hours became a thing, leaving a short window of time when all the gods involved coexisted , which would allow the suns death to happen before

@gorgeousthing5089 the intercalate was not the big bang. In fact it's as "recent" as the Roman empire, and named after a real historical event. The division of the Sun by the forge is reflected in our history by the death of Sol Invictus, the Intercalate was the switch to the new calendar, the rise of Christianity in Sol Invictus's place, and so on.
