Their harpoons, tipped with meteorite shards, suggest a distinct form of magic predating known gravity magic.

In this part of the video, the narrator explains the theme of undeath in the lands between, emphasizing how life persists through a cycle of rebirth and servitude due to the Rune of Death’s removal.

In this part of the video, the focus is on the claymen, the warped remains of priests from an ancient Dynasty. These claymen are no longer living beings but are animated through some form of ancient magic. Upon defeat, they dissolve into puddles of clay. They use sorceries that create bubbles as weapons, which players can find and use in the game. These sorceries reveal that the claymen were once oracles searching for prophecies. The video also mentions a connection to the Oracle Envoys, who similarly use bubble magic to herald a new era. It is suggested that the claymen, in their original priestly roles, might have been tasked with deciphering the future to guide or preserve their Dynasty, but ultimately, they failed, leaving only their clay forms as remnants.

In this part of the video, the focus is on the enigmatic origins and characteristics of the claymen and their ancient dynasty. The ruins of their old palace, now located underground, share architectural similarities with above-ground structures, particularly statues of a bearded man with long arms holding a stone tablet, which are also found in the Moghwyn dynasty. This suggests a link between Moog’s legacy and the claymen’s history. The claymen, possibly descendants of the same race as the statues, wield harpoons tipped with meteorite shards that emit a faint light and deal magic damage. This magic differs from known gravity magic associated with meteors, indicating that the claymen’s dynasty likely predates the arrival of certain beings like Estelle. Despite these connections, many aspects of the claymen’s history, including their worship and use of clay for undeath, remain a mystery. The segment concludes by emphasizing the limited knowledge available about this ancient, long-lost civilization.
