A brief overview of the lore around the Overseers of the Abbey of the Everyman, including the music boxes, Oracular Sisters, opposition to the Outsider, as well as their ultimate motivations.
If there's another lore topic you'd like a video on, leave a comment!
Examples of music using 17-note scales:
• Costal Breeze - 17 TET...
• 17 note per octave Sem... - Hry
I've always thought that the Overseers were the most fascinating part of the Isles' culture.
A morally-incorruptible group of zealots who, instead of peddling a religion praying to a god, they actively work against one. It's just such a unique idea.
It's kind of wack what happened with the abby. The void still exists. Just because the outsider is gone doesn't mean it doesn't have influence.
But the twist among the lore is that they are - not - in fact completely against the Void, since their Sisters use it themself. My headcanon through all of the evidence is that the Abbey is merely wanting to regulate who uses Void, and if they are the original cult who bound the Outsider there, they have obviously noticed that he is out of control and not the Avatar they wished for him to be.
Agreed
Man, i cannot give you enough praise for making this videos and keeping this sparse fandom alive with high quality content. People like you keep the world enjoyable and life enriching for fans of beloved things everywhere, and especially glad to see such a fervent and interested fan of this franchise specifically. Love to see people who enjoy getting neck deep in lore and relishing even the most far stretched details. Keep it up man.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope I can live up to them! If there's a lore topic you'd like a video on please let me know.
Hey, just wanted to say that you helping others feel seen and appreciated for their hard work and incredible uniqueness is an incredible skill in itself. You also do more than you know
Not enough love in these yt comment sections 🙃
I'm so glad I found your channel, there literally can't be enough videos about Dishonored's world and story. Thanks for making these lore videos, I love these games so much
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy them! I'll probably do another shorter video next, then take a little break cause these take a LOT of time and effort to make, but I hope you stay tuned. If there's a lore topic you'd like a video on please let me know.
came from the void video, this was cool as hell too! its been a while since i played and this was such an awesome revelation. love how you covered it!
That was pretty epic having the voice of Daud within your intro! 😁
Yeah, he owed me a favor so... 8-)
agreed! is it AI?
wait, aren't you telling me he hired Michael Madsen to say few sentences?
@@Yegor_Epanchintsev judging by the sound quality i'd say it's not a pro job, and more like a voice message done on a phone so the favor from a friend thing is plausible
12:00 "It could be a coincidence but in Dishonored (in Dunwall) things are always tangled up like a bag of snakes".
Man I didn't play Dishonored games for years...but I still remember what Daud said in The Knife of Dunwall
Saw my first video of yours from link shared on a group on Facebook within this past month, this one hit my home page feed. That's huge man! I'm always looking for more lore videos to listen to while I work, keep em coming I'll keep liking and commenting! Solid work all around.
Thanks so much!
Man, we've been missing this for a looooong time. Thank you for coming along
I'm glad you enjoy it! If there's another lore topic you'd like a video on just let me know.
Fantastic video! Please keep going, the algorithm has favored you and I hope it keeps doing so!
Thanks! If there's another Dishonored lore topic you'd like to see a video on please let me know.
Hello my guy, I just found your channel and I'll follow you until death because I loved your Lore video. I really like Dishonored and I found quite tedious to read the lore in game, so that's why I love your videos.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. If there's a lore topic you'd like a video on, please comment and I'll consider it.
That's some top tier content right there. Thank you for your work.
Thanks! If there's another Dishonored lore topic you'd like a video on, please let me know and I'll consider it.
The curious thing is that the abbey no longer exists in the empire of the islands, after Billie removed the outsider from the void and everything became chaos, the abbey attempted a ritual that seems to imply that they tried to create another "god" but Emily stopped them. and dissolved
I have to imagine someone would be willing to volunteer for the job. But anyone that would want it probably shouldn't have it...
The Overseers attempting to create a new god-like figure for the sole purpose of opposing them is hilariously ironic
Excellent lore video
Thanks so much! If there's another topic you'd like a lore video on please let me know.
I saw your post on Dishonored Facebook page, and i really liked the video completely worth those 15min !
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! If there's another lore topic you'd like a video on please let me know.
@@ericlewisauthor i actually have an idea, the origin of daud and it's story and how the whalers groupe is formated, because we don't know much about daud exept that's he was serkonian son of a witch and got he mark from the outsider at an early age.
Yeah that would definitely be interesting. I don't think there's much more information available anywhere than what's already known though, so I'll have to see what I can find out...
Amazing video man, keep it up!!!
Thanks! I will try.
Hey man! I always wanted to make a youtube channel focusing on dishonored/thief lore! its so cool you're doing this. Super good job so far! You got something here. Keep going, even if it's hard.
Thanks! I often wonder whether anyone's watching...
@@ericlewisauthor I guess it just depends. Sometimes things take time, or never take off. If you decide to keep doing it, do it for you, and because it makes you happy! It made my day better. Be well!
I will, thanks! If there's a lore topic you'd like a video on, please comment and I'll consider it.
Great presentation 👏
Thanks! If there's another Dishonored topic you'd like a lore video on, please leave a comment.
how this man has less than 1k subs is a crime. ❤🔥
Thanks so much!
Absolutely @@ericlewisauthor
Man I really love this one. This makes me understand the Khmer Rogue, and it's supporter: Red Sino.
In later books The new Overseer sometime after events of death of the outsider actually commits an occult ritual, and also slaughtered most of the sisters, probably due to lack of the purpose with the outsider now gone
Yep, I try not to go into the books TOO much partly for spoilers, and I'm also not sure how much of them to accept as canon. But that certainly demonstrates the idea.
Good video, algorithm worked
Thanks!
Great video. But have you kept to The Strictures?
The Seven Strictures are Seven lies! Brother Marcus! Don't make me eat anymore! I renounce the Abbey! Huaargh! czcams.com/video/tBmHZRFzxwM/video.html
R.I.P Outsider 🥲
I love lore. Thank you!
It's a shame it's only 720p though... Couldn't read the text as clear as it coulld be in game. Otherwise just use upscayl for making the images sharper and larger
After playing the game 7 years ago and then returning a few months later playing it a lot my theory is the following, and it's not that mundane for me at least;
So as explained in the video they could very well be related to the original cult that put the outsider in the middle of the void. Maybe they wanted to control the void itself and get powers from it. The sisters have masks on, but they can see. Would'nt this be the very magic that they created? They needed a center so they could get a piece of that power. Meanwhile the outsider smites them and gives power to random no bodies. The founders won't notice until it's too late. The wielder is now stronger then their order.
You can see their invane fight against delilah. Ten's of officers killed by magic. The sisters weren't there from what I can gather. Maybe they have access to their own 'power'. Which they would probably claim is from their meditations which is very often mentioned in Dishonored.
I hope that this put all the pieces together for everyone :)
Ill see of I can export at 1080, though it might take a lot longer to upload.
Ay more qualified quality content
Thanks, I try!
