Probably this lore formula isn't just that the game team isn't interested in making something great and deserved for the good lore of the game, but instead something that they are required to do, not to care that much for the game's sake but the times and money they have to spare or invest in. They saw this formula and went full bananas on massive production of bland and souless lore. As for the lore-wise theme: This topic were the Aztecs are the subjugated and massacrated by the Spanish is called 'Leyenda Negra'. Indeed, Aztecs (Mexicas) were a oppresive and merciless civ. They were a full on sacrificing for the sake of their gods, which they believed good. Tlaxcaltecas were one of the bunch of other less developed cultures that helped the Spanish in defeating the Mexicas. As Raven says, all this time of history was filled by gray-ish ideologic ideas and beliefs, some were completely indefensible, others more likely to be for a greater good. I hope next season will be more cheerful and worthy of the good game they have in hands, but I won't expect it because of the repeative formula they got into and will grasp and get all they juicy money they can get. PD: This topic is also handed by one game is being developed called Ecumene Aztec which basically touches the same topic here. Fortunately devs have heard the community and will address the matter. :P

Let's face it, Ubisoft forgot how to lore a while ago. So, after all the signs pointing to a second eclipse, the world suddenly calms down. as a result of this, the warriors start to question why they are even fighting. Astrea sees this moment of peace as an opportunity for a hostile takeover of heathmoor. She suceeds, and starts to oppress people. They start to build a resistance. Now the resistance has escalated to a war with both sides having a decent chance. Additionally, a face from the past has come back to lead this resistance. Now, at this point, you might be thinking "hmm, yeah. This has potential as a game's lore." Now for year 5 Yeah, absolutely nothing has progressed since Gryphon was introduced. That's about it for this season's lore. Yeah, it's reallt dry now. Yeah, it's raining a lot. Yeah, it's really cold now.

After a game runs for as long as For Honor has, the lore can be kinda hard to keep up and keep fresh. New characters are constantly hyped up, rushed, and they have their short moment of fame, then die out. It's the same with every for honor hero. A hero drops, they get their five minutes, and then fade into obscurity. Take for example, Gyphon. He's the leader of Chimera, yet he's nearly never mentioned! Astrea gets tons of spotlight, even when the season isn't super focused on Horkos. Take Heresy, a story about the heathmoor inquisition. Yet Astrea is still very clearly heavily referenced in the daily quests.

Also just this last season of heresy was pretty much an exclusively Horkos season after a year of essentially filler (most season didnt directly affect the continuous lore that was occurring at the time and was essentially “why are the pirates here and what are they looking for”). Then we get back into a season of questionable lore quality: these stories of heroes have brought fanatics out of their homes and made them an evil cult…… but more evil than the current cult. Then an entire New caste of Horkos appears (inquisitors) and they’re somehow worse than the fanatics. They do basic Horkos/inquisition stuff like excessive murder and mistreating the innocent which leads to the death by metal (which was arguably fun and pretty ok lore) until boom. Halfway through the trials:1. Inquisitor yinchen wins everyone over to fight as a single force rather than fighting each other to push back the inquisition who appears to be the entirety of Horkos (who already wiped out most of the fanatics earlier). 2. She then disappears somehow to god knows where (obviously what remains of the americas) With the rest of the relics, this leads some inquisitors to follow her and do an *average Horkos moment.exe*. Which leads to this. Chimera wasn’t involved despite the fact that they exist to oppose Horkos and didn’t A) try to help the innocent fanatics b) take advantage of the massive Horkos civil war to take the upper hand. All we know is that both the chimera banquet and the Horkos masquerade have officially ceased (though I’m sure Horkos will do something gaudy next season anyway) and that “daubeny hears bad news”, “vortiger sits in for a masquerade or 2, astrea looks for someone specific and ravier proves she isn’t useless despite already completing her task last season”. I’m hoping chimera actually get involved in the next season but I might be hoping for too much. (Sorry for the long post for honor lore has a grip on my soul)

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, maybe it's a big comment but... that's it, read who's willing to waste a little time. Amidst the great universe of For honor and its character skins, I came to realize it and I believe that many of the people who are here also realize this. I started to think for myself an alternative version of the skins lore. Ramiel: I'm a big fan of his lore, but it combines well with mysticism, making this first warden actually a legend passed down through generations of knights that came over time. I didn't think to change it, but for me to take it as something that really happened, I think it's overkill. Bolthorn: Now things start to get interesting, at first I thought the raider would more or less serve as an addendum to the past of for honor. I wanted Bolthorn to be a Viking from ancient times, or as Apollyon talks about in the campaign like true Viking warriors. I thought Bolthorn might be one of those warriors, but on one of his forays around the world he came across an empire rich in magical artifacts and huge pyramids. Bolthorn and his crew would hunt for this treasure in search of wealth, but would be trapped in one of the pyramids' traps and die there. Decades later their remains would be found by the Medjay. But while those Vikings stayed dead, they weren't either. Affected by a curse on the bracelets that gave them eternal life. Medjay could not contain the Vikings' bravery and this caused them to escape and seek their past lives in Heathmor. Then Medjay would have to undo his mistake of releasing them. Bolthorn's death impacted heavily on his appearance, he would have been a heavily mailed viking in chainmail but some decaying parts of his body would be on display and being held up by the curse. Meiko: I like her lore, I won't change anything about it. Ravier (Bolthorn's lore 2.0): There would be stories across Heathmor that people are being attacked and pillaged in villages and roads fleeing Horkos' conflict with the Chimiera. Curious about what is causing such an act, Astrea asks Ravier to find out who is doing this. At the end of the day Ravier finds a new empire on the rise that would be robbing and plundering from both factions. Along the way Ravier also discovers that Holden has also sent his envoy on the same quest, Daubeny. Instead of fighting each other, they make a temporary truce and try to somehow diplomatically try to convince Sultana to join one of the factions. She refuses and on top of that curses both messengers of being unable to maintain control over their lands, and that the Sultana would do that, becoming the true governess of Heathmor. Seeing that she could become a real threat to both factions, Ravier and Daubeny team up to invade Sultana's palace, revealing a new breach map, in which the commander is Sultana and the new hero is Afeera. In the end, they win and Ravier discovers the reason for the rise of that empire, the sphere of destiny. She steals it for the sake of Horkos and Astrea. Pirate skin (I don't remember her name sorry): I like and dislike her lore, I just wish the reason for the inquisition was different, that instead of fanatics of relics, they were religious fanatics. In the story mode Apollyon mentions the Roman empire where the centurions came from, I wanted the lore of this skin to expand this empire, hunting all those against the religion that the empire uses. Serving as a control militia for things that deviated from standards, because for the empire, whoever was the winner of the dispute between the two factions would only serve the emperor in the end. Warmonger skin: Raven did a great job, but perhaps the inquisition against the Aztecs could have been sent by the empire I mentioned earlier, in search of wealth and the will to end these cannibals. Anyway ... as she said it was going to be long, thank you very much to everyone who reads this comment and takes care, drink water.

But they never forgot, now they have comeback with their champion a character based on Quetzacoatl (basically Aztec jesus, a god prophesied to return in Aztec myth).

I've been playing For Honor for about 3 months now. The single player, though feeling a bit tedious, was gracefully short so it didn't get stale and has some replayability. I like the multiplayer(though I only play against bots because I suck at the game). The multiplayer meta narrative I feel is a bit convoluted. Instead of it being X group, which almost always is European, invades another region of the world, usually non-white people, and triggers retribution form them. Instead I would've had it where this era of seemingly endless war was caused by the death of Appolyon that created a power vacuum, and now various warlords are vying to fill that vacuum, which inevitably creates even more chaos.

I’d rather make the Aztec empire completely unique in the fact that it’s the Only outlander that’s located in Heathmoor in the form of it being an enclave in the Myre specifically. Where the Aztec empire has fought against invading yet lost and confused members of each faction thus knowing their cultures, language and so forth. As well as sacrificing unworthy victims that stroll in and completely assimilating the rest that are worthy in combat (explains why they are multiracial) they manage to be hidden like the Kyoshin and Horkos factions until one day a major horkos faction spear headed by the conquistador invades the city of gold. It’s slightly lopsided to horkos but when chimera steps in the tide of battle turns to their favor and they thwart the attempt. Thankful for Chimera’s help but being similar to horkos in nature they take a more neutral stance and offer up said assimilated warriors into the ranks of Chimera. Thus the Aztecs join the fight.

Raven, My idea for the story for the season would be very simple. In the fight against the servants of the stake, Astria hears old tales from the Vikings about great warriors to the west across the great Sea. Seeing these fabled warriors as potential recruits, she sends one of her disciples general Vela and 30 horkos warriors on two ships to find them. When they arrive, they find a vast jungle unknown to any faction. As they walk through they see people they do not recognize and ask them where they can find these warriors of legend. They don’t have to travel far, as a village they were in is raided, they watch from a distance and Vela smiles wildly “ the tales were true” she thinks “they are already wolves themselves” “primitive they may be, they might not be able to stand up to the warriors of Heathmoor. But I can rectify that.” Vela and her warriors follow the war party, with their shamans making sure they are not spotted. They tracked them to the warriors Great city, a city that rose from a great lake with pyramid lake structures that jutted from the lake like mountains. Decorated with images of snakes and half human half animal hybrids that dot the structures. And farms that seem to float on the water. The stunning amount of people living in the city of a size most in the party have not seen, and might never see again. All painted in exquisite colors, it was the greatest thing they ever seen for many of them. The negotiations go poorly. A member of Vela’s men is actually a chimera spy and makes sure the meeting doesn’t succeed by stabbing the Aztec warlord in the chest, starting a battle which horkos loses, driving them from the city losing 15 in the escape back to their camp. Vela send a messenger on one of the ships back to Astria asking for more supplies and soldiers because they screwed up negotiations. The reply is sent back, Astria simply states that she can fight this new threat with the soldiers and supplies she has, and threatens her if she does not deal with them here, she will have Vela’s head. Dejected, Vela looks to the local tribes for recruitment and finds that they are enthusiastic to fight their shared foe. Even with their new allies, the war was brutal and long. The Jaguar warriors were the equal of any warrior of horkos, and Vela lost a few good friends to her enemies bloody sacrifices to their gods. Nevertheless, the warriors of horkos pushed through and drove the Aztecs from their city shattering them. Vela and her warriors were celebrated as heroes by the surrounding Tribes, and were gifted gold and other gifts from the defeated Aztecs and themselves as thanks for destroying their oppressor. They took as much as they could carry to their ships, and sailed back home. As they arrived in ashfeld Astria was waiting for them, “so the threat has been dealt with” she said coldly “yes, master” Vela replied “excellent” Astria said. The warmonger queen was not happy that the Warriors she desired had not come. But the gold Vela and her men came back with would be enough to crush chimera utterly, the oddities her disciple brought back intrigued her. She would later give vela a new title, conquistadora. And Astria threw a grand party to celebrate Vela’s triumph. But unbeknownst to them, new marauders now stalk the western shores of Heathmoor. Leaving burning villages, and heartless corpses in their wake.

I know the For Honor map is not the same as the world map but I hope Aztecs get their own faction. Currently the outlander faction makes sense geographically according to their region around the Mediterranean sea. The pirate is a little bit off but it could be a Mediterranean sea pirate (maybe Italian), Egypt is south of the sea, and the Middle East being east of it. If the Aztec is grouped in with the outlander faction and solely based on the idea of similar conflict within the For Honor lore then they missed a totally better concept and lore to the game while also maintaining real life geography.

Then the new skin figuerd out were the obsidian warriors went after the cataclysime and went there sow they can steal the gold that was first stolen from heatmore to begin with making it a revenge story.

Several issues with that theory: 1.) In the lore that's been released, Vela refers to 'atrocities she committed,' implying that she wasn't stealing 'back' anything. Instead she did horrible things to take it. 2.) While the Aztecs used obsidian blades, obsidian armor is impossible to craft, as obsidian is glass and cannot be forged into armor. 3.) It doesn't explain why the aztecs didn't stay after they defeated Ramiel.

Honestly, I love your work and this is my first time watching your video and it was recommended by havok but overall I get what you’re saying. Honestly, I wish the rain team would do better with the game, especially with the cultures are introducing and actually be historically at least try to be historically accurate like make other cultures seem like they’re doing something bad and return it makes it makes Herkos I’m not sure if I spelled that right, even though as much as they are sort of like the villain, and this time, they are considered the victim, or I also like the part where you mentioned how Griffin gets kidnapped and we have to go save them and honestly I would love to see another breach map Honestly, I wish they did something better with the Aztecs. Honestly I love the Astec culture and as much as I don’t agree with what they did, I honestly love it, and I still love that the fact they were leasing a Astec warrior type of hero. I just wish they did better with the Lord this time . But keep up the awesome work I’m not sure if you will see this comment but honestly, I love your work so far and I’ll try my best to watch all of your old videos but keep up the work much love P.S. sorry if there’s any misspelling lol

I would like to add that what defeated the Aztecs was not the Conquistadores nor the resentful tribes that didnt want to pay outrageous tribute anymore. It was smallpox and other diseases brough on the conquista which wiped about 80% of them (between 10-15 million). No, the aztecs were not "good" people, but they were only defeated after a huge epidemic and betrayal from rival tribes. And well, we all know that the spanish were even a worse tyrant.

"No one cares about the lore" Well, I do. Or rather I would, but I often find it so dissapointing or bland that I just dont see the worth in following it. I read all the little pieces of lore we get with the daily orders when theres an event. In fact, on multiple occasions they have peaked my interest. Most recently, they somewhat eluded to how Daunbeney might actually end up doing something soon. I found that intriguing. Unfortunately, if the past is anything to go by, they are either going to do something boring with this thread, or they just won't follow up on it at all. FH writers in the past were good imo. But for years now I've been indifferent to the writing, and I sometimes feel the writers just misunderstand or dont get what the previous writers were trying to do. Or worse, they just ignore/forget about what has been done previously, be it by the previous writers or the current ones.

Part of me wonders if they're kinda' winding down For Honor in terms of overall lore and focusing more on like I guess "chivalric highlights." By that I mean how many of us wanted like a Meso-American hero or wanted for For Honor to touch on Colonialism? Just a thought maybe it's just me.

Dayum! I'd say there was no need to roast the writers this much, but I'd be lying if I did tbh. They are doing lazy work for this season, and then they have the audacity of bragging about how good the lore is going to be? Really? I gotta say, I like your alternative a lot more, but I fear one of the suits at PR could see it and say it's a bit too much... and that would be completely ridiculous, considering the kind of game this is. Anyway, nice work Raven. Have a pat on the back from my part, and let's just hope the writers can come up with something better mid-season at least. Not gonna lie, these recent seasons are making me miss the previous lead writer, overabundance of magic rocks and all considered.

Wouldn't Astrea see Gryphon missing and jump on that opportunity to win the war? You've stated before that Astrea is unlike Apollyon, and wants to rule in tyranny over *just* sowing discordance, and Chimera is the enemy of that goal. Not to mention she's taken an opportunity to win the war before instead of prolonging it, like in the Battle of the Eclipse.

Luckily the next hero is a viking and we probably won't get an outlander next year because they'll have 4 heroes. For honor kinda skirts around with realism. It's a very hyper fantastical setting now. For honor up to the cataclysm is identical to ours aside from dragons and detiys who are legends and myths in our world but real in for honor. Once the cataclysm happens history diverges and becomes the for honor world. Technically for honor could be set in the 21st centrey as the cataclysm happens around the 1100s and apolyon says a thousand years of war. Horkos is pretty much for honors way of saying because history spilt after the cataclysm that Horkos did stuff. In real history the spainish found the aztecs and talked to them for a while before eventually stealing stuff. For honor history aztecs get ganged up on by the entire eastern hemisphere 🤣

I'll be honest, I thought the new hero skin would be lawbringer, considering the rework in progress. If I had to shoot an idea, what about a descendant of the lawbringer Apollyon killed in retaliation for them abandoning her village? On a sort of journey to redeem his linage? Idk, I'm not a writer, but it would be something different at least

FunFact: The wicked Hernán Cortés received the Malinche as a slave from her fellow indigenous, and she stayed as that during a time, until she became partner (in both, a sentimental, and. Work manner) of Hernán and he built her a house. Later she became the lover of another spanish and finally the wife, recognized by the Spanish crown and the Catholic church, of another one ( not the tipical behavior and treatment of a slave, if her was one) Also her son with cortes was recognized as legitimate by himself, and later by the church, due the insistence of Cortés himself in that matter. That happened to with al the halfblood sons Cortés had. If somebody wants to see true segregation or extermination, just look to the native american reservations in north america, where the last natives live like if they were animals in danger of extinction. What you will see in latin America is is the mix of two peoples.
