    The video begins by introducing the mythical lore of 'Fear & Hunger', describing the creation of the world by the Old Gods before time, out of the Void and the Green Hue. It discusses the primary deities, Sylvian, the goddess of creation, and Gro-goroth, the god of destruction, and their child Ninush, the god of nature. The mythology further introduces the National Museum of Bohemia where a clock holds sigils representing gods and months, potentially crucial for understanding the story. Shadow, the narrator, aims to create a complete timeline up to the year 1942, promising insights into both known and unexplored aspects of the series.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:15:03

    The narrative shifts to the time when humans became the dominant species after overthrowing the lizardmen, initially worshipped by the Old Gods. The humans, created by Sylvian through her servant Vitruvia's designs, initially lived peacefully under her obsessive guidance but grew hostile, leading to a war with Ninush, which resulted in his death. This event is interpreted as symbolic of the rise of agriculture. With the death of Vinushka (formerly Ninush), the Old Gods leave, appointing a True King of Ma'habre, marking a new era of human dominion and their quest for god-like power via the Throne of Ascension, intended to keep mankind repeating its mistakes. The video touches upon the arrival of Alll-mer, a figure who attempted to unify religions but ended up ascending as a new god after crucifixion, representing a shift from being a mortally conceived messiah to a divine being with complex repercussions.

    So you wish to learn the story of Fear &  Hunger?
  • 00:00:03
    Then you came to the right place.
  • 00:00:05
    But before I tell you, let me take you back  in time and let's see how it all started.
  • 00:00:12
    Weeeewoooon weeeewoooon
  • 00:00:17
    *Weeewooon intensifies*
  • 00:00:22
    WEEEEWOOOON WEEEEWOOOON WEEEEEWOOOON
  • 00:00:35
    Before there was time, before there was anything,  there was the Void. And before there was the void there was the Green Hue.
  • 00:00:46
    And from the Green they came: The Old gods. The original creators and destroyers of this world.
  • 00:00:55
    The Old gods made the  world to their image, shaping it as they saw fit.
  • 00:01:01
    One day, Sylvian, the goddess of creation, and Gro-goroth,  the god of destruction, decided to have a child.
  • 00:01:09
    And eons after their union, Sylvian pushed a pine cone  out of her Abyss,
  • 00:01:14
    giving birth to Ninush, the god of nature.  The perfect union between creation and destruction.
  • 00:01:21
    The children of Sylvian were to be fruitful for multiply within Ninush's embrace, giving Gro-goroth more to the destroy.
  • 00:01:32
    Gro-goroth, Sylvian and Ninush are arguably the most important Old gods of Fear & Hunger. But they aren't the only ones.
  • 00:01:39
    If we visit the National Museum of Bohemia in Fear & Hunger 2 we see an old clock.
  • 00:01:45
    In it there is a small circle with 10 sigils. Each sigil represents not just a month, but also a god.
  • 00:01:51
    And this clock gives us the key to unravel the mysteries of the story of  Fear & Hunger. Something we shall be doing today.
  • 00:02:00
    But before we proceed, hi my name is Shadow.
  • 00:02:02
    (No, not that one)
  • 00:02:04
    And I had a goal: I wanted to make a complete and definite timeline of Fear & Hunger. With all the major events.
  • 00:02:10
    And that proved to be... hard, you know? But after doing lots of research I think I managed to pull it off.
  • 00:02:18
    So, that's what we'll be doing today. I will make a three-part video series
  • 00:02:22
    going from the very beginning, all the way to the year 1942 where the most recent  event of Fear & hunger 2 takes place.
  • 00:02:28
    Luckily for you this videos will already be out by the moment  I post this one. So you can go check part two and three after finishing part one.
  • 00:02:34
    There's a lot here with things to unpack that I haven't seen anyone talk about yet.
  • 00:02:38
    So if you are a veteran of the series who wants to learn more or a new fan who doesn't know anything and wants to understand the story,
  • 00:02:45
    don't worry these videos will still help you.
  • 00:02:47
    Right now we are here. At the very beginning. And the oldest date we have knowledge of is this one.
  • 00:02:54
    So let's see what happened.
  • 00:02:57
    Before the humans the lizardmen inhabited the world as a dominant species.
  • 00:03:01
    And the gods wanted a city where they could be worshipped by these intelligent lizards.
  • 00:03:06
    So the Old gods created the figurines, subservient beings that would build the city of Ma'habre, the city of the gods.
  • 00:03:12
    This place would serve the purpose of existing outside time and being a hub for different Planes of Existence.
  • 00:03:18
    The lizardmen desired to ascend and live closer to the gods in the Void, so the gods also designed the Golden Throne
  • 00:03:24
    Where Mortals would sit after proving their worth and achieve Greater Heights.
  • 00:03:28
    Rher, the jealous moon god, and the fourth sigil on the clock, was against this. Rher did not want to share godhood with mortals, even if just a fraction of it.
  • 00:03:37
    So he stands as antagonist to any mortal in  their way to become a God.
  • 00:03:41
    Still that did not stop nine lizardmen from sitting on the throne and one day being known as the Chromatic Blights,
  • 00:03:46
    Legendary dragons that would be the rulers of  the Golden City.
  • 00:03:49
    While the lizards were still ruling Ma'habre, Sylvian ordered one of her servants  named Vitruvia
  • 00:03:53
    to design a man and a woman to the likeness of Sylvian herself. Sylvian fell in love with the results
  • 00:03:58
    and created humans according to Vitruvia's drawings. Sylvian loved her children greatly, but that love quickly turned into an obsession
  • 00:04:05
    as she tried to guide her children more and more. Sylvian  realized her children could never return the same amount
  • 00:04:09
    of Love Back to her so to make humanity  more to her liking, she gifted them with love magic.
  • 00:04:15
    And for a brief moment in ancient history, humanity  did nothing but copulate;
  • 00:04:19
    spending their days away in a frenzy of fleshy delights.
  • 00:04:21
    Sylvian would realize once again she had made a mistake when the humans grew greedy and hostile.
  • 00:04:27
    Wanting to give room to  their own civilizations, they ravaged nature
  • 00:04:31
    and waged a long war against Ninush to determine who was  to become the master and who the slave.
  • 00:04:36
    And for everyone's surprise humanity won, killing Ninush in the process.
  • 00:04:41
    From the grievous realization that nature was dead, they renamed the god to Vinushka. Meaning "guilt", the great guilt of mankind.
  • 00:04:49
    That guilt would be carried over for generations to come, as only faint traces of the old God now remain in the world
  • 00:04:56
    Okay, quick theory. I personally believe that  the death of Vinushka is meant to be a metaphor for
  • 00:05:01
    the creation of agriculture. After all that was  when humans stopped living as nomadic tribes
  • 00:05:07
    and learned how to exploit nature for their own  benefit. So, in that case, if Fear & Hunger's Universe
  • 00:05:13
    follows a similar timeline to a real world that  would be around 10,000 B.A.
  • 00:05:20
    Probably due to the death of Vinushka, the Old gods then would start an  Exodus, leaving the world for their own creations.
  • 00:05:26
    Likely returning back to the Green Hue they once came. But before their departure they nominated
  • 00:05:32
    one of them to stay behind and reign as the True  King of Ma'habre. That King is represented by the very
  • 00:05:37
    first sigil on the clock. A god some of you might  already be familiar with, but I'll leave the topic for later.
  • 00:05:43
    There's a lot of speculation behind  this god, and it's also worth a video of its own.
  • 00:05:48
    I plan on making it the future so don't worry about it.
  • 00:05:52
    Without much explanation the True King and the Lizardmen vanished. The figurines to this present day still talk about the prophecies that one day
  • 00:06:00
    their King will return. After this humans became  the new rulers of Ma'habre. They sought the Throne
  • 00:06:05
    of Ascension not to live amongst the Old gods,  but to have power equal to them. They believed
  • 00:06:10
    the Old gods had abandoned humans, and they would  seek the throne as means to establish a new age for humanity.
  • 00:06:16
    But the truth is the Throne was never  made for humans to surpass their creators.
  • 00:06:22
    Instead, it was device to make sure the Great Scheme of  Things would always be set in place.
  • 00:06:28
    But what is that Great Scheme? It's one where mankind would  be bound to forever repeat its mistakes.
  • 00:06:34
    Never learning and forever relying on the gods for  guidance. And yet, generation after generation,
  • 00:06:40
    New Gods would emerge promising to save the world. Waging endless wars in the process, and after their
  • 00:06:46
    influence had diminished, they would vanish too. Leaving the world in a state no better than it was before.
  • 00:06:52
    Until one day a man with humble origins  started to gather prominence around the lands of
  • 00:06:57
    the Eastern Sanctuaries. The man was said to  be born of a virgin mother with the seed laid
  • 00:07:02
    by a false god. His name was Alll-mer, and with his  12 trusted Apostles they had the goal to unify
  • 00:07:08
    people from all religions and reestablish the Old  World Order, where humans lived under the guidance
  • 00:07:13
    of the Old gods. the Kings and sultans of the time  would not let a god-like man threaten their rule,
  • 00:07:19
    so they captured Alll-mer and sentenced him for  public humiliation and eventually death on the cross.
  • 00:07:24
    But all of this only served in Alll-mer's favor,  for the pain and suffering had pushed the men over the edge.
  • 00:07:30
    After being crucified Alll-mer soared to the  heavens with his arms still widespread from his
  • 00:07:35
    hands being nailed into a cross. His ascension  led him to Ma'habre, where he spent three days and
  • 00:07:40
    three nights there, but not alone. Somehow one of  his Apostles came along with him to the city of the gods.
  • 00:07:46
    At the Golden City, Alll-mer had the goal of  reaching absolution. For that, he carved idols of
  • 00:07:53
    himself in an attempt to separate his imperfect,  subconscious side. These Idols condensed into a
  • 00:07:59
    single macabre being. And then the Ascended One became  two. But the world had no need for two Messiahs. So
  • 00:08:06
    just as one was buried deep within the subconscious  of Alll-mer, they had to be cast away deep, deep down the Sulfuric Pits.
  • 00:08:14
    Alll-mer became the first ascended god.  A class of gods with human origins, but at the same
  • 00:08:19
    time with enough power to rival the very Old gods  themselves. This is a topic for a future video, but
  • 00:08:25
    I believe that during his stay Alll-mer used the  traces of the True King to fuel his ascension.
  • 00:08:30
    The traces of an old God seem to be necessary for  the birth of an ascended god, and I think that's what happened with Alll-mer.
  • 00:08:36
    The discarded side of Almer became known as the Sulfur God. He represents the
  • 00:08:41
    second sigil on the clock, while the third sigil  belongs to the side of Alll-mer that returned.
  • 00:08:46
    The Christ we all know in love to this day. Well,  except for when he...
  • 00:08:50
    - Brutally murdered everyone who had a hand in his execution.
  • 00:08:53
    - Forced people to suck his schlong to impose dominance over them. And...
  • 00:08:57
    became a hairless, muscular giant. For some reason.
  • 00:09:00
    You know, basic stuff we used to do back in the day.
  • 00:09:07
    Alll-mer established a new age and his influence  would still reach the present days even after his
  • 00:09:13
    unexplained disappearance. He was, in fact, so  influent that his birth marked the year zero.
  • 00:09:18
    His holy body was buried in the tombs of Ma'habre. But even though he's the most influential god
  • 00:09:23
    to this date, his own age would not last too long.  As just a few centuries later a new generation
  • 00:09:29
    of New Gods ascended with the Throne of Ma'habre.  From this generation of gods emerged Betel.
  • 00:09:34
    He created the Grand libraries in Ma'habre with the  hope that one day its archives would surpass the
  • 00:09:39
    knowledge of even the Old gods. Betel is most likely  the responsible for the creation of the cult of
  • 00:09:45
    the dark priests. Scholars and devotees of both Old  and New gods. They were persecuted by the common
  • 00:09:51
    folk since their creation due their practices. Their importance will be made more apparent in
  • 00:09:56
    the future, so hold on to that information for now.  In the year 410 another generation of New Gods
  • 00:10:02
    emerged. One of its members being Nas'hrah, the Tyrant  of the Eastern Sanctuaries; self-proclaimed "the
  • 00:10:09
    destroyer of the modern man". He tricked Betel and  assumed his position at the Grand libraries and
  • 00:10:14
    with the knowledge he acquired there he created  the sect of the Yellow Mages.
  • 00:10:18
    Yellow Mages are spellcasters whose powers come from packs with  the gods, instead of just praying to them.
  • 00:10:24
    They are quite the opposite of the Dark Priests,  in a sense where while the Dark Priests worship
  • 00:10:29
    every god in servitude, the Yellow Mages would  only pray to the gods while it was useful for them.
  • 00:10:38
    Nas'hrah's reign was marked by expansionist wars,  cruelty and sadism. Unlike the new gods that came
  • 00:10:45
    before him Nas'hrah refused to go to the Hall of  the Gods, a metaphysical dimension where the New
  • 00:10:50
    gods reside after the time ends. Nas'hrah led multiple  campaigns against the nation of Edo that turned
  • 00:10:56
    out to be unsuccessful. But he took a page from  them and created the nation of Yansa Aryuaban by
  • 00:11:02
    appointing high status prisoners from the war against  Edo as the central figures of the nation. Although not
  • 00:11:07
    to explained how, Nas'hrah was decapitated before  the 9th century. Nas'hrah's immortality allowed him
  • 00:11:13
    to still live just as ahead, but his reign would  soon come to an end as a brand new generation of New Gods emerged.
  • 00:11:20
    The fellowship consisted  of five characters: First Francóis. The dominating
  • 00:11:24
    force who wanted to unify the warring lands  of the time. Second, Nilvan. The beauty who trusted
  • 00:11:29
    the endless potential of humanity. Third, Valteil.  The dark priest who sought enlightenment on
  • 00:11:34
    the secrets behind the creation of Life. Fourth, Chambara. The tormented poet who believed that
  • 00:11:38
    no masterpiece could be achieved without great  pain and suffering. And the fifth one, Nosramus.
  • 00:11:43
    who would learn about the Great Scheme of  Things. They would venture to the ancient
  • 00:11:46
    tomb of Ma'habre and overcome its challenges, gaining the approval of the figurines to sit
  • 00:11:51
    in the Throne of Ascension and become  gods that would guide humanity to a new
  • 00:11:54
    age, the age of The Fellowship. Only Nosramus would  refuse to become a new god and be forgotten,
  • 00:11:59
    turning into a mysterious alchemist that desires  to learn more about the secrets hidden in the
  • 00:12:03
    depths of the tombs. In the first game we can still  find The Fellowship lurking at the Ma'habre of the
  • 00:12:08
    past and we need to get their souls to reach  the Throne of Ascension and become New Gods ourselves.
  • 00:12:16
    A few years after their ascension,  The Fellowship would return to Ma'habre and live there.
  • 00:12:20
    Valteil would assume the Grand Libraries to  study the secrets of creating life, thinking
  • 00:12:25
    that way he would overcome the gods. His many  attempts failed and he turned to degenerate
  • 00:12:29
    that would have intercourse every night  with his own creations.
  • 00:12:33
    Chambara created the Chains of Torment to torture himself  for hundreds of years, believing that this
  • 00:12:38
    way he would gain inspiration to write  a great masterpiece. He also extended the
  • 00:12:42
    pain to the creatures of the Golden City, now  screaming their suffering in the halls as the Red Men.
  • 00:12:50
    Francóis realized that the power of a new god wasn't enough for his ambitions, so he took control over the Golden City
  • 00:12:55
    and sat on its throne for centuries. Foolishly believing that this was the path for True Ascension.
  • 00:13:01
    And Nilvan rested in the Tower of Endless, where she could observe
  • 00:13:05
    and interact with the rest of the world through  visions and dreams.
  • 00:13:09
    Fast forward a few centuries and the small warring nations of central Europa  united into a single nation: the Kingdom of Rondon.
  • 00:13:16
    This kingdom would start war campaigns against  the Eastern Sanctuaries wanting to conquer the
  • 00:13:21
    city of Jettetiah, the Holy Capital and the place where  Alll-mer was born. The Vatican financed the campaigns
  • 00:13:27
    against the Eastern Sanctuaries, as well as the  deployed the Penance Knights.
  • 00:13:31
    A special unity of death-sentenced criminals who would have one last  chance of repenting for their sins.
  • 00:13:36
    The armor of the Penance Knights could not be removed once put  on. These armors had rows of small spikes that drill
  • 00:13:42
    into the skin of the wearer. The pain was meant  to cleanse the mind during the mission and heighten the fury of the fighter.
  • 00:13:48
    A war prison was built  by Rondon on the top of the ruins of Ma'habre.
  • 00:13:53
    Rondon wanted to use the dark rumors surrounding the  ruins to scare their enemies. These dungeons would
  • 00:13:58
    be known as the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger, the place  where the first game's set.
  • 00:14:03
    Little did they know this would be a great mistake. For the darkness hidden in its depths could not be contained.
  • 00:14:11
    The age of peace and prosperity brought by the fellowship  was gone by the 16th century.
  • 00:14:16
    Wars and a terrible plague would take a hold of Rondon, claiming  the lives of thousands, if not millions.
  • 00:14:22
    Prayers for the fellowship to save them went unheard. People  once again started to blame the Old gods for this curse.
  • 00:14:30
    But one day an old prophecy resurged. Tales  about a man who would unify the lands not by
  • 00:14:36
    the power of the golden staff, but by  the power of dozens of pitchforks.
  • 00:14:40
    A fair-haired man with golden locks, that would  shepherd humanity out of the darkness.
  • 00:14:45
    It just so happened that a mercenary with the same  traits started to gain fame around Central Europa,
  • 00:14:51
    the charismatic leader of the Knights  of the Midnight Sun.
