The Sins of the First Gods

About my account

Well, I enjoy talking about the lore of CotL, answering lore questions, and making theories from time to time. I also have an AU about sins in the world of Cult of the Lamb. If I had to talk about myself, it would be very little; I have varied tastes and really nothing very specific.

Pronouns: Anyone, feel free to tell me how you feel most comfortable. I am who I am, and nothing will change that.

The Sin of the First Gods

This story focuses on the rest of the unknown continent from which the Land of the Old Faith was separated. The reason for this separation is that the lands were contaminated by the corpses of First Gods corrupted by Sin, leading the remaining First Gods to decide to preserve what little could be salvaged, along with the beings and creatures that remained.

When Lamb corrupted their crown with Sin, it awakened the dead beasts, whose remains had lain dormant until then. These Sinners then began to corrupt the lands in order to seize them and obtain the remaining Crowns that still held life.

Therefore, in this tale, Lamb must embark with the other former deities to confront the Sins they embody in the abandoned and unknown lands of the continent known as "Sinskarus Dei"

CotL Trivia

I'm going to share some interesting facts I found on CotL. And well, also things that perhaps many people didn't know.

Renewal and Decay from the beginning?

Did you know that the concept of the Cyan Crown has been present since the very beginning of the game? It appears in the Menticide Mushrooms, and well, considering these fungi originate from the corpse of a First God, perhaps that First God is connected to the Crown of Yngya? Could they perhaps be its creator?

Entity of the world of The Goat

I think we all remember the dialogue from The Goat Shrine, right?

I think some people might have thought it was The Goat, but the script for a dialogue that was in a demo shown in Japan shows that it is not them.

So we're left wondering, who is the entity that's speaking to us?

The Cultist Guardian from Pilgrim is female

We all remember this Cultist in Pilgrim; I don't think anyone thought about whether she had a gender or pronouns, because, well, she's a minor character for a few scenes.

But apparently the character was important enough to have pronouns.

Law of Creation spring from Destruction

Speaking of the laws of Nature, one of the existing laws, which is also mentioned by Kudaai, is also present in the necklace that brings Aym back. So I believe that the return of Aym and Baal works using this law.

Star of David and the Head of Yngya

This curiosity was pointed out to me by someone, and it concerns the shape of Yngya's head, which is practically very similar to the Star of David.

I don't know much about this star, but from what I've found, it represents a connection between the earthly world and the divine, and knowing the relationship Yngya had with her lambs, I suppose that would explain the shape

Renewal and Decay

There would have been material that would reveal much more about the concept of Decay and Renewal. A resource that would be created by merging Rotburn and Charged Shards

This reminded me that lightning isn't actually Marchosias's power, something I'd almost forgotten because of how much he uses it, although I did know the power didn't come from him. But I didn't realize that this power comes from Yngya; these lightning bolts originate from Winter and the concept of Yngya.

And well, these are all the interesting facts I could share hehe, I hope it was interesting. Oh, and I recommend checking out the discarded content page on the Wiki; there are quite a few discarded mechanics, and most of them would be for Ratau.

CotL Wiki Update #5

The best thing about this update is that, finally, all the lambs have all their dialogues. Which actually took me a little longer than I thought, haha.

There is also information from a unused Lamb Tablet that would reveal more lore about how the lambs, like Narinder, went against nature. You can find it on the Lamb Tablets page.

And well, this is one of the most curious updates, since it's for the Discarded Content page, in the Marchosias beta section, where everything related to his combat was added.

[alanarts16]

Just a little bit of a Cult Leader

The context for this is the name of Marchosias's sprites, which refers to him as Wolf Cult Leader

i dont usually post my references, but there isnt a lot out there of the snake so I felt like posting it for the like, 3 Snake fans out there

The Three Friends (2/3)

And here's Yngya, the first time I've drawn anything of her haha, I really loved drawing her, her colors are always beautiful

Below you'll find the small progress I made towards that.

[alanarts16]

CotL Wiki Update #4?

GIFs of a large portion of the Woolhaven NPCs have been added to the wiki. They're really great to finally have them hehe.

Also, add some information to the Scylla and Monch trivia; here's Scylla's information, pertaining to a deleted interaction she would have had. It would be revealed that she disliked Marchosias and the Free Pack.

What else should the wiki have?

[alanarts16]

The Three Friends (1/3)

After so long, I've finally deigned to show some fan art. This time I plan to draw the three Chosen God friends. And for now, we have Haro here.

Here are some steps involved in how it was done.

And well, I wanted to take this opportunity to show you some other artwork I've been working on.

[alanarts16]

While checking the wiki for how the line filter effect in the gateway looks, I really took notice of the chains and broken crosses/pillars.

And that got me thinking.

If Ur opinion, were the chains and pillars and skull piles there *before* Narinder was chained or dragged in/created after?

Is it like the tarot cards showcasing The Red Crown's shape with prominence all over. Narinder was always fated to be there for 1,000+ years, thus The Gateway reflects his fate, or does The Gateway reflect Narinder as it's current occupant or as the Bearer of The Red Crown?

Okay, I know this should be more of an opinion, but I'll also bring up some things from the game to give some reason for this opinion.

The Crosses

The crosses, apparently, are the only natural thing that belongs to The Gateway; I say this because of the purple Gateway species where the corruption of The Goat's world is entering.

Besides being the only thing that remains when we use the resurrection mechanic, The Gateway fully preserves the crosses.

The Chains

The chains clearly do not belong to The Gateway; they are the chains that have been binding Narinder to this place. We can see how these chains are broken alongside Narinder's liberation. Likewise, the remaining chains end up breaking when Narinder is about to transform into his Eldritch form and he cracks the ground.

And by the time Narinder enters his new phase, the place no longer has a single chain, which tells us that at that moment Narinder no longer has any chains binding him.

The Skulls

I really don't have any explanation for the skulls, but the only thing I can say about them is that I don't think they originated from The Gateway. Perhaps they are the skulls of his failed vessels, and he became so angry that he dissolved their souls from physical forms, reducing them to mere skulls? Knowing that Narinder is quite sadistic, it wouldn't be surprising.

And by the way, I must clarify one thing, Narinder has not been trapped for more than 1000 years, he has been trapped for exactly 1000 years in The Gateway.

Opinion of The Gateway

No, I don't think The Gateway suits its bearer; the chains weren't there because the place suited its destiny, they were the chains that held Narinder, the same chains the Bishops made. And once Narinder is free, The Gateway is freed from these chains. Likewise, as I mentioned in the resurrection mechanics, not the entire place was filled with chains; they were probably only where Narinder was located.

And now that I think about it, I want to see what you all think.

If The Goat has a Gateway, I think this would tell us that The Goat's Crown is not a war crown, something I think I've mentioned many times before. By the way, I'll soon be talking about a character from The Goat world that perhaps none of you knew was a character in the first place.

Cult of the Lamb: The Board Game

I had been asked to talk about this, but the truth is that I preferred to do something more productive. So I made a page for the CotL board game on the wiki.

I'm also taking this opportunity to show the two new variants of the Red Crown used by The Snake and The Owl. They're quite curious haha

[uas-art]

To the beloved Architect of the Gods, what are your opinions about your clients? Do you have a favorite?

(You already know where these questions came from)

I did not want to work for those heretic gods, The Bishops or otherwise, but to reject their requests would place a target upon my backside. Most of those five were no problem in creating temples for, their terrible tastes notwithstanding. But that littlest one. He expected his temple be asymmetrical, with taller pillars haphazardly placed around. Lucky for me, the eldest talked some sense into him. Yngya, though, treated me with respect and kindness. She listened to my suggestions and even fed me and my workers, though we were already paid more than enough. No god was worthier than She... Except for, perhaps, the Shepard.

The context for this to a discussion we had a reddit about a cut piece of dialog where he references not having 'honest work' to do in a long time. Also the possibility that 'Bishop's Backside' might be a common exclamation, which I really hope it is.lol

I still don't know if I think he is just a very long lived mole, 'Architect Of The Gods' is a title passed down, or if he's a creation of the First Ones who either isn't beholden to the neutrality of the ducks or has forsaken it now that there aren't any more Crown Bearers to work for.

Curious minds crave to know!

Favorite Tarot Cards for the Lore Implications™ and game play reasons.

Mortal Oath

I really like things related to the gods, and having a bit more of The Anchorite sounds great to me. Furthermore, I use heavy attacks a lot, and not having to use fervor anymore benefits me greatly.

Kin of Turua & Favorable Winds

References to Turua are always great, he's really one of my favorite gods. Just knowing we'd see the frozen sea, I knew he'd be there. In addition, you knew that the Favorable Winds card is the one that appears to Jalala when Clauneck shows her cards? In terms of mechanics, I like being able to see Turua even if it's a tentacle, and I also like being able to skip areas.

Renegade Victorious

I like seeing the existence of a Narinder from The Goat's world, and it makes me curious why he still has the chains behind him. Well, I don't use corrupted cards or relics, so its effect doesn't pose any problems for me.

Discarded cards

I'm taking this opportunity to show you some tarot cards that were discarded; they're great, hehe.

Mythology in CotL

Would you like me to make a post talking about all the beings and creatures in CotL and their categories? This post would talk about Witnesses, Cryptids, Critters, Gods, and stuff like that.

[alanarts16]

And what if we double this down? It wouldn't just be a post; it could also be a wiki page, where everything about the different species in this mythology is organized and easily accessible.

Of course, this is just a suggestion, and we need to know what you all think.

Since this was my first post on Instagram, I suppose it can be my first (drawing) post on Tumblr, too.
