I love how the Unmoored world recontextualizes the Brine as some kind of eldritch horror that's been lurking (literally) beneath the surface all this time. Only by rejecting the world's 'order' do we expose the Brine's true face.

I don't believe we know enough about Pathfinder to suggest they're "above" seneschal and I still maintain there is nothing above it. The seneschal is king of the World and Flameservant, they exist purely for creation's sake; I think some in the community are incorrect to assume the greater will refers to "God 2.0" and to assume Pathfinder is linked to it at all. That kinda flies in the face of the philosophy of this game - the greater will is likely meant to be (in-lore) something more akin to an omnipresent source of energy, a complete antithesis to the void or nonexistence (out of lore, it's just the devs lol). As for Talos, consider that it doesn't really matter if we interact with it or not (as far as we know). As you said, its destiny is to be stopped just short of Phaesus, which leads me to the next point: Talos targeted Phaesus and not the Arisen. I believe he was actually going to upset the order - not that his Royce dragon was an apocalyptic threat, but rather it was a proof of concept. Phaesus proved that, as a mortal, he could harness the power of Arisen to challenge the order. Phaesus is not the threat that Talos was meant for, but Phaesus still presented a very real threat to the cycle and did absolutely intend to end it. Rothais established that Pathfinder had been sending Arisen for a long time to destroy him, Phaesus simply recognized that all those dead Arisen could still be useful. The connection to Daimon is good to note but I think you missed one key thing which is in Kurteth's thread iirc: Daimon didn't die. We did not destroy Daimon and a totally different body (resembling Pathfinder) actually sinks into the floor following some ominous chanting. This and Pathfinder's dragon looking just like Daimon suggests to me that Pathfinder could very well be Daimon. But why would a being born of the wish to destroy the cycle perpetuate it? Simple. Bitterblack Isle and Daimon feed off suffering caused by the cycle. The cycle has to exist for suffering to occur. Listen to what general NPCs say as part of their dialogue throughout both games. A very large majority of the dialogue in this game especially relates in some way to the cycle. Villagers will talk about the mundanity of it all and outright mention how things seem to repeat, they seem to do this more in NG+. The characters in the game world are suffering because they are keying in on the cyclical nature of it all and this is reinforced by Pathfinder being present in NG+ as well. What little we do know is that Rothais is the seneschal and Pathfinder is perpetuating a fake cycle in his place. I wish we knew more about the Brine but I think it's narrative purpose here goes only as far as Pathfinder controlling it. Out of lore, we obviously know it's because swimming doesn't really have a place in the game (Jak & Daxter implemented a similar mechanic and also gave an in-lore explanation) but in this game's lore, I feel like the Brine is just a neutral swarm/hivemind creature that has probably existed for as long as the cycle and exists to limit creation, maybe? So a seneschal doesn't go TOO crazy with spurring on life. That's all I got since we are given very little.

I thought it was more like Rothais rejecting the role of Seneschal which majorly fucked up the cycle, necessitating Pathfinder's creation to continue it, with Pathfinder being a Seneschal-like figure but with little differences beyond seemingly not originating from an Arisen who perpetuates the cycle and being able to control the Brine itself

​@@wakingdragon7538 You're spot on, I think. I didn't mention my overall theory in that comment, just replied to some things mentioned in the video but I agree entirely. Rothais is a seneschal who has abdicated his role, leaving the throne occupied but the role unfulfilled. The role he chooses is one I wondered about since we met Savan, especially since Savan implied this could happen (his fire going cold and the purpose of the trials in the first place) Where does PF fit into this? They don't. At all. PF is a fluke of fate and perpetuates a fake cycle where Rothais refuses to perpetuate one at all. I dont believe Rothais wants to destroy it all, I'm fairly sure he could have around the time he founded Vermund, but he chose instead to stop it entirely with him at the heart of the cycle. whats cool about the theory of PF being Daimon or linked to Daimon is the MO fits - PF ensures the continuation of the cycle so that people continue to suffer from the cycle that said, I don't think the player Arisen has ever broken the cycle (main pawn becomes our Arisen and then seneschal in DD1 via Bestowal of Spirit) and while it's unclear what state the cycle is in now, it's safe to say we did not and will never "break" the cycle. The player can leave the cycle when they quit the game but the game world is confined to the cycle indefinitely, until the greater will (Itsuno) says otherwise

My view for the Brine is that it acts as a security wall, it just follows a systematic routine that was set onto it. Pathfinder is an extension of the security seeking answer from Seneschal after Rotias gave up being Seneschal and leaving the throne empty, by it being emptied for so long and Dragons came in waves, it became sentient and "created" Pathfinder, and started to "correct" the flow as what it was intended. The Brine can differentiate things from living and non living, and their final form of ending it all is Dragon Nex, the truest form of the Brine. That's how I perceived the Brine and Pathfinder while Rotias kept referring to it as All Seeing Eye. But ultimately, it's just how I view my side of the story and I want to know more about the Old Lunatic Man. Why do we revive on his bed when we die in Unmoored and why is he in the ending scene. What's the significance of him being shown at the end of the trailer. What's the connection between you and him ?

My hypothesis is that the arisen is somehow transported to another universe when they fail to save their own world from the Brine, and it must be what happened to the old man, instead of him being us, his appearance doesn't change even though the cutscene shows our character. It may also be what justifies NG+ in-universe too, an arisen killed by a power equal to theirs (like the Godsbane or the Brine once unleashed) may travel through the Rift instead of dying, to serve as another arisen, or not. I find that really ironic and tragic about the old man. We see a few failed arisens, and they are all more impressive than him, but he's the one who's been the furthest, he's the one who proved his determination. Seeing his world devoured by the void, just to end up in an identical one where everyone he knows is here, but doesn't remember him, after being so close to what he must have seen as the absolute truth, is what must have driven him insane. It's obvious the Pathfinder is linked to the Brine, but i never thought about him originating from it. It's an interesting idea. It could mean that there is a will inside the void to keep the battle between itself and the will of the world to survive going, and that must be why the Pathfinder seems so obsessed with finding a way to kill Rotias. Maybe the void itself is stuck in the cycle of the dogma, and seeks to perpetuate the cycle of the seneschal in the hope that it will break at some point and let it prevail. Each cycle, the basic will to destroy in the void may believe it has a chance to win at last. There is something fundamentally broken with this world caused by Rotias, and i'm starting to think it put the dogma in a stalemate.

​@@leothi2I just took it as the system started to be sentient and combined into one, a leader to keep it running. Like a niche Terminator stuff, the AI slowly becomes sentient. Things just evolve sometimes due to conditions and my condition is Rotias used Talos so many times to kill the Dragon that the cycle never started in the first place. For the old man, I was thinking it could be another Arisen from a different rift line but how long has he been there and why didn't he go to other Arisens to group up, and fight the foreseeable end. My other take is, he could be the closest Seneschal candidate but failed and instead of restarting the end, Pathfinder chewed him out of the loop and scared off potential Arisens that come after him.

Secondarily, this ties into what and why the pathfinder is doing. Rothais broke the cycle, his madness preventing anyone from taking over. So the pathfinder is acting as an interim seneschal, but has to do with the powers he has control over- and his own misunderstandinf of what the cycle is and represents. Hes stagnating the world.

One thing that speaks a lot about the path finder is how he manipulates things to follow a set course of actions,he breaks rook's godswill controll,he helps guide the arisen to escape from the excavation site,gives advice as soon as the arisen gets to bathal (well,as soon as the arisen get there through an story quest),he also quite literally mind controlls Ambrosious to change his mind and give the arisen the new godsbane,the path finder goes against everything a seneschal (or some one that takes care of the world to preserve its cycle) should be,hes not allowing people to follow their will,specially the Arisen,no wonder the world of DD2 and its cycle was so fucked up,although Rothais is the worst offender. I still think there should have been more story and lore regarding the path finder,where did he came from? How did he even came to be? Has there been others before him that also have been trying to preserve the world due to Rothais leaving it unattended and what is his true relationship with the brine?

Would be cool if in DLC we could find the source of the brine and rid the world of it or something like that.

I guess the Pathfinder was created to try and course correct the seneschal. Because it's heavily implied that the beastren you meet when you bring the old castle from the water is the seneschal, and he didn't want to perpetuate the cycle and keep it going. The great will noticed this, and likely created Pathfinder to send arisen to try to take his place anyway, but that's essentially fighting God so they all died. I believe the Pathfinder was the contingency for the seneschal until he kept failing, and the brine is possibly the contingency for the dragon. A bit weird, but that's my theory

Chaos is referring to the world without the cycle, which in Pathfinder's estimation, is more or less the Unmoored World. He certainly IS a manipulative ass, but in this case, take the idea you posted and just go one step further: the Brine might be a failsafe, but so is Pathfinder. I don't believe he's actually a part of the cycle, I think he is basically a fluke that addresses Rothais as a negligent seneschal Savan establishes that the world needs a seneschal to continue, so Rothais as an errant seneschal presents the potential end to the cycle in this case. Pathfinder is attempting to remove Rothais from his throne for some reason (possibly to continue the proper cycle), but Pathfinder is not a seneschal nor is he above the seneschal (nothing is) which is why PF has been enlisting Arisen to destroy Rothais Thinking about it now, the Brine may actually exist to return the world to a former state should a rogue seneschal come into play. That would neatly explain why they can overpower a seneschal - it's their whole function

What do you think?" i believe you are right here, the dialogue the pathfinder says as they die hints at this. there's another theory that i have. all the pathfinder (from my memory) states about the greater will are that it creates arisen to rise up to counter the dragon. the dragon, the brine and the world is created by the "world-forge" in the absence of the cycle only oblivion is assured. the dragon, the seneschal are both former arisen. the drakes call the arisen "kin". it might stand to reason that all levels of being right up to the world-forge are in some form past arisen the world forge maybe being the first. and the greater will is just an expression of all will manifest in chosen arisen. all arisen are in some way chosen and groomed for leadership roles, and all levels of being higher than arisen seem to at some stage wish to be freed of their roles. in whatever capacity the cycle of arisen and dragon only seems to be in that state because that's how the first form of the arisen/world forge/pathfinder/will decided that's how it should be to keep at bay the nothingness. when you start new game plus i think that's you as the new world-forge wanted it the new cycle to be. that or everything is true save for the world forge part and that is some foreign power at play keeping the people and their scary powers (dragons seneschals ect) from going outside of their world area and messing other places up. too many braincells died in my head thinking about this.

I'll try to organize my current speculations about the Brine here. Most of it is based on my interpretation of the Brine dragon's monologue. About the pawns, i don't think the Brine is able to "give" them free will, i think the fact they come from the same substance, the Void, gives them the same basic instinct to destroy. But the same way the Void got turned into a challenge as the Dragon and a safeguard as the Brine, it got turned into allies to the Arisen as the pawns. This instinct coming back is what happens as the Void takes its original form in the unmoored world, but also what happens with the Dragonsplague. The pawn's safeguard breaks and the pawn turns back into a piece of void entering the world to destroy it. However, we've seen that the conviction of the Arisen is able to influence the fabric of the world itself, the main examples being the Godsway, or simply the fact the Arisen is able to unleash the Void. It's always described as a force of will, and it's a recurring theme in both games, this will is powerful enough to move the world. I think the Arisen, by convincing themselves their pawn is a person, ends up making it true. My main argument for that is a greater affinity granting a greater will. The more the Arisen treats the pawn as a human, the more human they end up being. And at some point, this new will supercedes the instinct of the Void. The way i interpret the Dragon's Dogma now, is not that the "Great Will" turned the Void into a game for its own entertainment, but that it was powerless when seeing its incursions in the worlds it created. The only thing it could do was curse the Void to always face the will of the world to survive, by making it choose a champion with the Dragon and turning the world in an arena with the Brine. The Pathfinder leaves a chance to the Arisen to not give the world to the Brine and only lets it free at the very end. And even when the Brine is devouring the world, it's still manifesting as dragon-like bosses, yet another challenge for the Arisen. One question i was left with is, if the Pathfinder originates from the Void, the reason he would try so much to get rid of Rotias and keep the cycle going. I think either the Void is satisfied with the dragon's dogma, providing enough destruction to satiate it for some time, or it's been tricked by the dogma too, hoping every new seneschal dying will be its chance to devour the world. Either way, Rotias kept the world in standby, breaking the cycle in bizarre ways. The old arisens don't die, according to the warfarer maister his dragon fled instead of choosing a new arisen, so i suppose a new dragon must be summoned each time... This situation may not satiate the Void's hunger enough. What i don't know though, Talos is obviously man-made, and serves the Brine, so who made it and for what purpose? And why was it under Gran Soren too? On another note, another way i like to read the story of the two games is as an allegory of the relationship between the rpg and its player. Dragon's Dogma is all about telling you "here, you're the hero, the chosen one, but you will have to bear the responsibilities coming with it." You may or may not care about the world you travel in, but it's up to you in the end whether you give it enough care to turn it into something meaningful or not. That's the tragedy of this universe, the people there are condemned to depend on the Arisen. In the end, you decide whether they matter or not. That's how i interpret the dragon's bargain. Do you care enough about a character to fight for them, or get a wish instead, a wish easily granted, because in the end this world is meaningless because you made it so. But a hero needs an adversary too, in the form or the Dragon and the Brine. The world needs this force to destroy it, because without it, there would be no one to give it substance, and it would not exist at all. Another way to interpret the Brine's final monologue. That's what makes the Arisen's sacrifice so powerful and so natural to end the story for me. By fighting for this world until the very end, the Arisen gave it substance, and by their sacrifice, they gave up their existence, allowing its inhabitants to finally be the masters of their destiny.

I really enjoy your interpretation of the lore. I would just bring up some ideas that might answer the question you posited: I don't recall it being stated that Pathfinder was born of the void. I suppose, at some point, everything technically is born from it if the default state of the World is a void and the rift is a dimension between. But, my theory has always been that Pathfinder is not a higher power than Rothais and this is why they have been sending Arisen to try to destroy Rothais. Rothais IS the seneschal and he is negligent in his responsibility to create and perpetuate the cycle. He has effectively abdicated the role, but he cannot be freed from the cycle until he is beaten by another Arisen, so he's holding it hostage. That said, my question is why wouldn't Pathfinder send us to deal with Rothais in the fake Sovran ending? I vaguely recall some dialogue around the ending about Pathfinder and Rothais specifically, but I'm blanking off the top. I don't think we were meant to take any mentions of the void and the "greater will" too seriously either, to be honest. I've read many interpretations that the greater will (or even Pathfinder) is the seneschal's manager, for lack of a better term, and that's got to be lamest way to remove all stakes from this story. If either of those things were true, Rothais would be smote where he sits and we would've seen a proper cycle. Instead, what I think we have is the remains of Daimon traveling beyond the rift and just biding his time. They watched until Rothais was born and became seneschal, and then they either made themselves known or Rothais became aware on his own, and went down a nihilistic route. He became king of the World and still held no power, so what was the point? Rothais - fortunately - didn't want to destroy the world, he just wanted to stall the cycle indefinitely, which he alone can do as seneschal. All that said, I could of course be wrong and the plot is just littered with holes and more questions than answers, that's just DD baby You might actually be cooking with that Dragonsplague theory too

So if we drink from a body of water, let's say from a river, did we automatically consume the brine?

Great video rift, hopefully dragon princess actually lets us see what brian looks like, an eldritch horror, or maybe it looks similar to Tartarus from the Greek pantheon

So the Brine, the Pathfinder and the final Dragon are all one aren’t they? It seems like the brine is just the physical manifestations of the pathfinder. And when he takes full control and put his soul back in there, he becomes a massive dragon. The crazy thing is that during the final confrontation you’re told that the greater will made the first dragon from oblivion. Doesn’t that mean that the brine is oblivion given a will of its own? Just a thought.

The pathfinder reminds me of god from "to your eternity". Great anime btw, go watch it. In tye, god acts out of pure boredom. He creates a immortal shape-shifting ball and sends it to earth. Over the millenials the ball gets the shape of a human and God watches it just to not succumb to boredom. God and the pathfinder almost look identical, with the exception that the pathfinder has emotions. And they act similar too. The pathfinder clearly does whatever he enjoys and finds interesting. He watches the arisen and guides him just as God does with his creation in to your eternity. Funny thing is that the brine are similar to creatures that act as antagonists in tye. I would even go so far and say that itsuno read to your eternity and copied some concepts.

Makes me think if the world and the cycle only apply to this DD2 area alone. Once you venture to another country, there will be different lore, Gods, laws, etc. (Almost like God of War 3, 4, 5)
