With Die with a Sword in my hand releasing and having Zargothrax helping Angus V this made me wonder, why was he doing this and why would they work with him? Is he just helping out of spite that Hootsman was possessed or what? Well I have a theory.

Angus II uses the amulet of justice on Zargothrax. In Die with a sword in my hand (yes I know videos are not fully canon) he struggles to cast magic it is shown and I believe this is because his pact with Kor-Virliath was broken.

I believe we will have this mentioned more in the songs Pax Galactic and Demonic Devotion. It is described on the album's store page that "majestic melodies echo through the derelict halls of an abandoned spaceship, as Angus is guided to an unexpected long-lost ally" Now the important part is unexpected. While it could just mean someone who was an ally already and just wasn't expected it could also mean someone you wouldn't expect to be an ally. And with the mention of "long-lost" it doesn't need to mean lost as in location, it could be referring to how Zargothrax was corrupted for centuries, or in other words lost.

The way I think Demonic Devotion plays into it is the description reads: "the song’s protagonist, long trapped in his own mind, trying to reconcile with the destruction in his wake" Now the thing I noted was it just says the song's protagonist and trying to reconcile. Hootsman could be a candidate here but he is still corrupted and I think that he would be unable to try and reconcile with what is happening. But if Zargothrax was uncorrupted he would probably feel guilty after everything that has happened.

Anyways I am done rambling

Now I will state this clearly. Blah blah blah, videos are not cannon. Let me have fun, ok?

Now, watching the song again I have a theory, a MUSIC THEORY, I believe that the crystal key was going to be used to allow Kor-Virliath to posses Angus XIII. I believe this for two big reasons.

1: The key ended up allowing Kor-Virliath to posses the Hootsman (RIP) and by the lyrics of the song it seems like a physical form was needed for him to enter that dimension. I believe that Angus was the target to mock the Mac Fife Dynasty.

2: There are 12 figures hanging or killed in the room with Zargothrax in the song, including the still alive Angus XIII. Now why are there 12 total and not 13? Because Angus V escaped and fled his destiny and knew that Zargothrax was going to try to get him while the others didn't.

3: I believe the suits are various Angus versions because they 1 have similar armor but of course that could just be how space suits look, but more importantly they all bear the glowing green symbol on the chest.

4: As we see in the song portals open in various scenes we saw before (shortly after the Robot Prince saved young angus and when Angus II is descending to find the Robot Prince) and I believe that the interdimensional portal was used by Zargothrax to try and kill/capture every version of Angus to use for the ritual in some way.

Now obviously I know the videos are not cannon but it is always possible that they were told some details to include while having free reign for the most part and mostly wanted to throw this out cause I think it is a cool idea.

Simple question, which new song do y'all want an animated video of? Note these are not all the songs as reddit only allows 6 so I suppose mention in comments if you would want Hammer of Fate or CWDEMSADSF. Really just curious which ones people want to see the most lol.

Also epic typo from typing on phone cause polls are not allowed on desktop lol.

So I was looking at the ultimate sacrifice lyrics and hearing the part of Kor-Virliath saying he has a physical form, and the end of the song having this lyric

"A fragment of evil
Takes root within his soul
New Hootsman has awakened
To crush the skulls of all!"

So... Is Kor-Virliath controlling the Hootsman's body in the new album?

Hello! I am looking for beta readers for a short story I am working on called Ducal Union. DM and I can provide a Google doc.

In general I am planning to write more stories in this universe and Ducal Union is one of the first stories I worked on for it.

Blurb: This first story is supposed to be the story of the Ducal Union covering its history from early in the world to the modern times of the universe (as far as I have gotten lore wise). The world is a general fantasy world, not high or low fantasy.

I have been looking into getting into self publishing lately and one struggle is I do not know what issues I may have with the books (ie story, pacing, etc). I am just wondering what are some easy places I can try to find people who could read over things and give me good feedback on it.
