Suppose Predathos is a hunter, a true predator, and the gods are its natural prey. In that case, a few things may be happening behind the scenes.

In nature, predators lean towards targeting three kinds of prey: the old, the young, and the infirm. But who among the gods would fit any of these categories?

Well, for one, The Knowing Mistress. She's still in hiding, recovering from wounds received during the Calamity. And if her chosen physical form is anything to go by, she could very well be the eldest member of the pantheon.

But who is in charge of her protection? Who is hiding her from her enemies? Who has made it their duty to shield her from further harm?

The Dawnfather.

The Dawnfather, who's scrambling to consolidate as much power as possible. The Dawnfather, who's fighting tooth and nail and doing whatever is necessary to keep a foothold in Exandria.

Sure, he could be doing it for selfish reasons. But this is the god who saw Ioun sacrifice herself so that he could defeat Tharizdun. He has made her safety one of his top priorities. Pelor refused to entertain Deanna's question of whether the gods were worth defending - perhaps because it was not only an insult to him, but an insult to Ioun.

If Predathos is unleashed on them all? She will be the first to be led to the gallows.

And The Dawnfather will do anything to ensure her survival.

#the matron and the whispered one are also the youngest members of the pantheon #so it wouldn't be crazy to assume they are both targets as well #it doesn't help that the matron gave a sliver of her divinity to vax - that means she's probably a little weaker than normal right now #critical role #critical role spoilers #cr meta #cr3 #the calamity #the prime deities #pelor #the dawnfather #ioun #the knowing mistress #predathos #this concept gives me a lot of feelings and now i'm just imagining pelor being the faithful knight to ioun's wise queen

When the malleus keys were first introduced, I noted that "malleus" means hammer, such as in the word mallet and also the bone in your inner ear that helps with hearing. I know this because of a witch hunting book from a long time ago called the Malleus Malefacarum (or the Hammer of Witches)

I make note of this.

They are called "hammer keys"

So, I'm sitting there. Episodes pass. I'm thinking about the Aeor arc in campaign 2 for some reason, can't recall why. But I'm thinking about it, and suddenly, I recall something

The Mighty Nein uncover notes about something called the Factorum Malleus project, AKA the God Hammer. We know this to actually be, canonically, what Ludinus has been trying to replicate with his keys courtesy of FRIDA and their memory of protecting one

In those notes the M9 recovered, the project head is noted as a mage named Athodan. It is stated that this mage uncovered a relic, which turned out to be a Luxon beacon, and used necromantic glyphwork to unlock some property from it that pleased the overseers of this mage's work. What this mage was working on prior to (or in conjunction with) the Malleus Factorum project was rejuvenation

I believe that Ludinus Da'leth is an ancient Aeorian mage named Athodan who worked on the original project to free Predathos and kill the gods

When the gods (collectively, Betrayer and Prime) struck Aeor out of the sky, I believe Athodan somehow survived, but lost all of his work

Maybe he wasn't in the city at the time. Maybe he had some sort of contingency. Regardless, he survived. And, in order to survive the Calamity, he made his way to Issylra and hid out in Vasselheim, the Dawn City, the last bastion of civilization left after the Calamity ravaged Exandria

Once people began migrating out from Vasselheim again, he settled in a town called Ivaadel. Maybe this is where he developed his harness thing that allowed him to rejuvenate again, since he'd be approaching pretty old age (depending on what was done with the Luxon beacon and how old he was when he did it)

He rejuvenates and relocates. Can't have anyone back home notice that Old Ass Ludinus is a 150 year old elf again, right?

He settles in Molaesmyr, because in this post-Calamity world, he is working with figurative rocks and sticks when it comes to magic and technology. So, he needs somewhere that will

a) have a natural wellspring of powerful magic, and

b) have access to relics from Aeor. Molaesmyr has both

And we know Ludinus began hoarding Aeorian artifacts as per Team Wildemount's investigationHe attempted something. Either a shoddy replication of what was built in Aeor, or just an attempt at communion with Predathos and that wiped out the city and corrupted the surrounding woodlands

Ludinus then runs off to Bysaes Tyl for a brief time before showing up on the Eve of Crimson Midnight (interesting name, that) and is credited with stopping the violence between powerful Dwendalian and Julous Dominion aristocratic mages. This accord he is able to reach with them is the basis on which he founds the Cerberus Assembly

The Cerberus Assembly is named after a conglomerate of mages from the Age of Arcanum and predates with Calamity

Knowing that Ludinus founded the modern Cerberus Assembly is kinda suspicious considering how little information of the Age of Arcanum survived the Calamity

He also mentions Laeryn in his notes (Abriya's character from ExU Calamity) and literally no one remembers who she is. Him being aware of her is nuts in the first place, even crazier if you think he is just a modern-day elf mage

In summary:

Ludinus Da'leth is a pre-Calamity, semi-immortal mage from Aeor named Athodan who has been using his knowledge of rejuvenation to keep himself alive for, at the very least, 1000 years

Too many boxes of this theory have been ticked, and I wholeheartedly believe it

Carbine was tackled.

Clown stood, holding Carbine's neck, and turning his head at a horribly unnatural angle to face the group.

Oh dear, oh my! It seems a lot of you have turned up to watch the final act of the show.

He was definitely different. He was taller, his colors darker and duller. The stripes on his legs seemed to.. move? You could swear he has more teeth, and his pupils were dilated.

His head was static as his body turned to face the crowd.

It seems I wasn't able to have as much fun as I wished, pity. Fortunately, from my experiences with dear Felicia, I know when time's up.

He gave an smile that would've almost seemed soft, if not for the multitude of teeth and the clear malice within it.

And so he bowed, and he smashed Carbine's head into the nearest rock at full force.

"I will tell you out of game, truly, this guy's probably 7th or 8th level."

Brennan Lee Mulligan about Purvan Suul the eve before the Calamity.

I find it interesting, that on the cusp of the apogee solstice, the famed Champion of Ravens was the same level as Bells Hells.

The world will be changing, regardless of whether Bells Hells succeed or fail.

And much like Purvan, they'll have to survive until morning, so that they can continue to fight for Exandria - no matter the enemy.

BLAME! is such an insane fucking manga, the imagery, the unhinged worldbuilding and setting, the *aesthetics*

and at its core, there's our protagonist:

Killy

this beyond-ancient biotech artificial security-agent from a system that basically no longer exists, swallowed whole by the ever-expanding City

trudging through the endless rooms and halls trying with a stubbornness that comes out at the other end of rage, inhuman, a force of nature

this singular entity and his reality-eating impossible handgun, single-handedly responsible for the destruction of untold civilisations of billions within the bowels of the megastructure's layers upon layers, because they're *not the right material*

it is not anger, it is not rage, Killy is no doomslayer;

no mortal emotion could encompass what this ancient demon of a dead god is feeling as he wanders on in his path of destruction in its ever-growing corpse

the Calamity will make a path, and walk on

#ak goes insane #BLAME! #blame! killy #the calamity #literally an eldritch being #for a protagonist #it just takes a while for the depth of it to sink in
