Lore

Gonna run it slowly soon. I'm going to edit this post with whatever I find.

K let see, the Cessairs our doing something for the glory of their ancestors: Ban Clan.

Cessair Instructor wants me to pass the test of virtue or something and they hate Neamhain a lot.

"Irinid Expelled our race." "We must no fear the gods." "Irinid is our enemy." K you guys hate her.

TH taking things super seriously, not taking any of Merlin's shit.

I get paralyzed or something, something about Akule predicting this, TH does something about it, not sure what. Cessair was really shocked to see me/Merlin/TH. I'm assuming TH for obvious reasons, but she/he attacked me.

Th solves the puzzle and leaves Merlin behind. TH obviously reveals that he knew about this place, thanks to the book. Apparently he's some what sad about leaving Merlin there and probably not meeting him again.

Something Something Ruairi and Dian talking about a plan.

Cessair's Heart is okay guise. Her real name is Cecht. Welp. Cecht is part of Dian that was removed from her. Cecht notes that Dian is a monster. Cecht mentions that there's an intruder and assumes that it's someone. and Dian wonders if it is that person.

After 'defeating' Merlin. Ceht notes that it's a good day to die and Dian's plan seems to have started.

TH hanging around the grave of truth. TH knows that Dian has no emotions or will have no emotions.

1. "Irinid's first punishment was banishment." "Any being with our blood in its veins was cursed." "Our kind would take nothing and give nothing to this world." "We were cut off." "We could not eat." "We could not drink." "We could not even breathe as we faced our punishment." "Death approached. "Only the most adept among us survived." "We used magic to support life...or some semblance thereof." "We worked together to remove the curse, but it was hopeless." "Fear had already taken its hold." "That's when the extremist made their voices known..." "Out of the din voices, one idea arose." "We would create a land of our own." "It would be a world held together by magic, and we would live." "It was a tempting solution." "One that would free us from the will of gods." "We had faith that it would only be temporary." "There was only one chance for success and we took it." "It cost us more than we could have ever imagined." "But it worked. Pincara was founded." "And a chosen few were hidden from the gods."
   • TH notes that his dad sacrificed his life for him.
2. "Fabricated sacrifices have their limits." "Time was running out." "We had to commit the course." "Perhaps if we sacrificed someone..." "What choice do we have!" "There are hard answers to situations like this." "There is a small crack, perhaps it has succeeded." "This is the opportunity we cannot miss it." "The soldiers who went through the crack met someone." "For a moment they thought they had found the savior of prophesy." "But we have been forgotten by the world." "I will make sure our memories live on." "Revenge...destruction...chaos...whatever it takes." "The world will remember us."
   • Then TH notes that Dian will use the tower to get revenge on everyone who ignored her.
3. "We cannot return to our world." "The gods have caught on." "How long can this place last?" "Some of our problems was solved, but..." "Killing clones with no end erodes the soul." "Once all hope has been run out, we can no longer succeed." "Emotions weaken the mind." "Without them, we can carry on forever." "I rid of all emotions and placed them in a clone." "It is like me, but different."
   • The two last parts seems to be a big indicator that Dian wrote that part and she basically got rid of her emotions to create Cecth.
4. "We knew that Pincara was not perfect from the beginning." "But the problems arose much faster than anyone expected." "The space was collapsing." "We needed more sacrifices to maintain the barriers." "But no one was willing to die." "Magic and technology could prevent death." "Why should anyone have to give themselves up willingly?" "Factions arose. Fighting began. It was bedlam." "Who would we sacrifice?" "Or could we find another way?" "In the midst of all that, a man entered Pincara's barriers." "His name was Birren." "Once a slave, (I accidentally skipped this part but mentions how Bith became his wife)." "The curse fell to all Settlers, even the half-bloods." "But this man had been able to cure his children." "His method hid the bloodline from the sight of the gods." "Unfortunately it came with a great cost." "But I found another way." "Cloning the half-bloods proved a useful tool." The exceptional clones were sent outside Pincara to find answers." "The rest were used to maintain the barriers." "Hearthless fools supported the idea." "They tried to solve the symptom without solving the problem." "We needed a final sacrifice for the cloning facility." "Bith...Why did you think it had to be you?" "Bith sacrificed herself and Birren left for good."
   • TH notes that some parts of this slate is written by a different person.
   • TH starts crying like a weirdo, asking if that was how the book of bith was passed on.
5. "The gods have disappeared." "The curse was broken." "Everyone was lost." "It was slaughter." "The people I killed could have lived." "I am a murderer." "I cannot ask for mercy or for revenge." "I can only offer more misery..." "I shall give death to all." "Until I cannot go on." "My name is Dian." "And I am a monster."

K Tarlach notes that the tower is made on llieeesss. According to red head bastard, Merlin is after the god fragment something. Which is in Tarlach. And he will remove it for something. and then tell everything us. and tarlach will be a normal boy. Ruairi will use the god fragment for the ritual and a sacrifice must be made. and then merlin uses a ice pocky to save us, hooray!?

Merlin saying something is irresponsible. Wow. That must be bad.

TH calls Dian, Dian Cetch, which I assume to be her former name when she had emmmotttioons.

Dian seems to be doing this out of regret, because she can't let all the deaths be in vain. and Oh shi- TH and Dian are siblings.

TH NOOOO, I ACTUALLY LIKE YOU. and you're useful unlike Prof J, Starlet and Cook over thar.

Then Merlin reads TH's message about the ritual happening on top the tower of lies and something about human accomplishments, Dragon's body, God's knowledge and three sacrifices must be made to make a body.

Merlin Dreams and apparently according to PJ, he dresses like a kid. Well I'll have you know PJ, he dresses like a high class male stripper.

Merlin actually cares about Tarlach to some degree.

--- To be continued --- Once I'm done with this dum SM

Even Merlin, apparent master of magic, says that the tower is made out of lies and broken promises. Merlin then calls TH: Suntan Steve.

So I just understood this, but Dian is apparently actually a god. At least according to TH and Merlin. Another thing, Dian started wanting revenge when she learned that TH was alive.

Dian telling that Cecth will be free with this. Which I might have missed.

So from my understanding

• The Ban Clan used to live in Erinn, then Neamhain cursed them for some unknown reason.
  • In order to avoid their curse, they made Pincara and fled there.
    • Pincara ran on sacrifices apparently. But no one wanted to sacrifice themselves.
      • So Bith sacrificed herself to make a clone making facility and Pincara ran on artificial sacrifices.
        • Of course this wasn't a permanent resolution and an end would happen.
        • Some clones were used to explore out of Pincara and find answers.
        • The clones are apparently half bloods.
  • At one point they managed to visit Erinn again, but only to discover their people was forgotten.
  • The Ban Clan's curse has been lifted with the disappearance of the gods.
• Dian is apparently a god.
  • Cessair's Heart's other name is Cecth. Cecth also happens to be Dian's emotions.
  • She apparently thought that her brother, TH, was dead. One of her motivation for revenge, was due to his survival.
  • She was angered by the fact that her people was forgotten.
  • Dian is grieving with the fact that she killed many to reach the position she's in.
    • And her plans are to make sure that her people's death was not in vain.
• TH is of Ban Clan origin. His mom, Bith. His dad, Birren. His sister, Dian. Yeah you heard me.
  • Birren sacrificed himself to save his three children.

I also assume that the Ban Clan were the first people of Erinn. Cessair in the original story was the leader of the first settlers of Ireland. Dian also mentions that she's older than Merlin, and his 100 year old age is minuscule compare to hers.

Wait? Birren had three children? Well, he saved three, but I don't recall all of them being his. Also, wasn't Dian the leader of the settlers? Not some slave's (Birren) kid?

I realized that the symptoms those three children experienced was a curse on the settlers, a curse from god, a curse of death. - Complete the Passage

But this man had been able to cure his children. The slates specifically state that he saved his children, no one else.

TH, while reading the slates, mentions that someone else wrote some parts, these are most likely by Dian. Meaning someone else was there way before her and TH talks to Dian mentioning "our mother/father".

I'll concede on this point.
Any hints as to who that last kid is? TH, Dian, and someone else...

Nothing about the last kid. It's possible both TH and Dian don't know if the last kid is even alive. Considering Dian didn't even knew TH was alive.

So... Ban Clan = Cessair and Pincara = Nemeton? This is all too much to absorb.

Well, thanks for looking into it. I now have a better understanding as to what occurred.

No. There's nothing that says Nemeton and Pincara are the same. Edit:Also forgot to mention, but there are times when TH talks about some things on the slate can't be read. So we're missing some parts.

And Cessair in the original lore only designs one person, the leader of the first settlers. Though I did read some things that describe them as the first settlers.

A better comparison would be that.

Ban Clan = The first settlers of Ireland

Pincara = Ireland, as the First Settlers were denied a spot on Noah's Arc to safety.

Except not even Ireland could protect Cessair from the flood. God being Neamhain, the flood being the curse.

Though that's just my crack comparing.

Also Crack Theory:

The Ban Clan call their banishment as their first punishment. But while they do name the other things that happened to them, they do not describe those as the second punishment. Why? Because their curse was caused by the curse on Iria. How do we enter to Nemeton? From Metus, in Iria. We only hear what happened to the elves and giants, except that's the whole point. The people had forgotten the Ban Clan and thus their involvement with whatever in the past is gone. Neamhain destroyed ancient relics during the curse, most likely belonging to the Ban Clan.
