Did the Headless Trolls sacrifice themselves to protect, in death, the 4 Belfries in Liurnia?
I looked around reddt and on the internet to learn more about the 4 belfries lore, but I did not find many concrete answers. What are your thoughts on it?
The Bellfries are graves? I don't think so
Are the belfries graves? I say that, because headless creatures in death are usually the guardians of mausoleums, so maybe the trolls are guarding bodies?
I don't think that's true since the belfries look ancient, because they have the old man from underground ruins (ancient civilization) in the middle of vines that look like a tree.
Since the headless trolls use Carian sorcery, I don't think they would guard the bodies of ancient people.
The Headless Trolls sacrificed themselves to protect these Bellfries, just like the mausoleum soldiers did?
Even though the Bellfries are old, the portals probably aren't. They require the imbued sword keys, that are likely created with the magic of carians or the academia.
I'm not sure who uses them. It could be Ranni with the Carians (or just the carians). I've heard a theory where the 3 portals are being used to spy other locations. Maybe that's a way for Ranni to spy Godrick, Mogh and Maliketh?
So maybe the trolls sacrificed themselves to protect, in death, these 3 portals? Do you think its possible to sacrifice yourself like that to protect any location, even when not related to the soulless demigods (mausoleum)?
What do you have to say about this location?
EDIT: Someone outside Reddit told me the portals send to ancient locations related to the Dynasty. So maybe the portals are old. Someone here also mentioned the Carians had connection to everyone before the Golden Order, so. ---> All of this may indicate that the portals are actually old
