After the death of King Deshret, many people in the desert scrambled to stake a claim in the newly opened power vacuum. In this video, I go over the lore presented in the Tulaytullah weapon series, and what happened during Sumeru's City-States Era.

I had no idea the desert had 100 cities after the fall of Gurabad that sounds so cool and hell xiphos story is so tragic man I wish he had a chance of bringing the people of the desert together, FRICK FARAMARZ

love this! A lot of the videos i watch go into theories and usualy just give quick summeries of the lore, which is totally fine, but its really nice to just hear everything explained without getting sidetracked

Could you look into this bit in Nuvilette's story that says that "all the fragments of the Primordial were driven to devour each other" This could either means the Shades turned on each other Or All the Gods that fought in the Archon War were a type of lesser Shade. Another thing I came across while looking into this was that Morax winning the Archon War was part of a Contract or atleast the part of him going on a coldblooded slaughter rampage was which led to hum winning the war.

Copium theory but.. (leaks below) In Cyno's second SQ there gonna be a new character who is named SetHOS, which sounds very similar to XipHOS, i also searched what their name meant and they have nothing in common but it's just me coping they are related hopefully, and since Cyno also have some connections with Sumeru's city states and is friend with Thignari who supposedly also have ancestors from TulayTullah (not confirmed but..).

Imagine Sethos is a sword user and actually is some kind of reincarnation of Xiphos thoo

@Wolf-vy7et 2 ай бұрын

@@dina_solaire Not necessarily a reincarnation, he can be just an ancestor, a lot of Sumeru characters represent important figures in Sumeru's history except for Dori I think ? Even though she have the Jinn designe she doesn't really represent any jinn, Even Faruzan I have some theory that she could also represent some figures from TulayTullah just based on the designe and my headcanons

@Wolf-vy7et a descendant would be nice tho we do not know any info if Xiphos had a relationship to continue his family line, presuming none of this prior ones survived that is

@Wolf-vy7et 2 ай бұрын

@@dina_solaire True I would say, but from his lore we know that he most likely had a relationship with the Jinn that dwelt inside inside his sword, compared to the Eremites weapons who are powered by sealed fragments of the jinns, The Jinn in Xiphos' lore was just dwelling in his sword, she probably could take an human form at any times, they probably had a similar relationship to the one in the book "the Shepherd and the Jinni in a magic bottle", all of that depends on the Jinn's gender, but at the same time they could also be just friends, there really nothing about their relationship in his lore sadly
