Arguably, the most callous, mallicious, evil ambitioned hubris packed into a man in a game, and he narrates all his sins throughout in a mix of pride and shame. I wish more games handled their story telling like this.

Shambler jumpscare. Jokes aside, I tend to forget that the Ancestor was already insane before his end, despite him being the cause of all the chaos.

Fan Theory (Spoilers): - - - - The Prophet is caught in the same time loop as the players which is A) how he knows the Ancestors plans and inevitable future and B) How he returns after death each time the ancestor kills him. Bonus Theory 1.The Prophet is the Heir Bonus Theory 2. The Prophet is the Ancestor from an alternate timeloop

The profit knew about what his real goal so HE showed him and became a madman... The witch loved fungaii and potions but HIS ambitions and curiosity turned her into a monster... The swing prince was a HIS failed summon that was fed with human meat but forsaken it because of its stupidity... The flesh was his failed summoning and instead of killing them HE made them live in the warrens and they fused together... The townsfolk revolted but HE hired a group of mercenaries along with helping them make a giant war machine and prolong his dictatorship... A kind woman wanted companionship but HE used her for jewels to fuel his ambition and turned her into a slave of the ocean... The men who were hired to reclaimed more tomes and old art, were sent to the bottom of the ocean only because HE didn't want to pay them anything... The ancestor is one of the most demonic monster of all these monsters,because he created them...

He unleashes doom upon everything and everyone, got too stress out and kills himself, not before sending a letter to some random guy who might be a relative (or actually not who knows) where's he's like "yeah this land is yours by heritage, clean up the mess, please 😔"

The best part of the DD lore is basically no one "alive" is the good guys. The bosses are twisted but a lot of them didn't deserve their fate or were carried away. Meanwhile the "heroes" are majority morally grey at best. The Jester murdered a king, the Bounter Hunter hunts people for cash, the Highwayman is a thug, etc. If anything, the player is a sudo bad guy for a majority of the game, hiring strongarms to clean house. At best they're mercy killing the abominations, but even then it's for personal benefit. The player is just a janitor for the Ancestor, pulled into this because they wanted inheritance. Only a few exceptions like our boy Reynauld are "good guys", but I don't know a lot about why he arrived at the hamlet yet.

In this world, suffering, pain, death, and madness are all there is and all that shall be. Birth, life, and death is our fate and we shall inevitably return to the flesh of our creator, our destroyer, in the end. To understand only a fragment of cosmic truth one must take on the same burdensome actions of the Great Abomination. To merely obtain the same eye level of the terrible God of flesh, bone, eyes and nightmare one must follow in the path of eldrich horror and madness.

Interestingly, this means even the ancestor doesn't know what the prophet is. How he came to be what he was, how he knew the future, you don't know, he doesn't know and the prophet himself is likely to far gone to remember.

Prophets are supposed to by "God's messenger" by definition. A prophecy is their word. So we can pretty much assume that God sent it, or it's literally God.

Here is my theory, a game theory: The heir will actually turns into the Prophet in the subsequent cycle. The Prophet knows everything that will happens, because it has happened and remember that the heir starts *ahem ahem* spoilers *ahem ahem* later on which most likely drove him mad just like the prophet. The ancestors may actually be the descendants of the previous heir. If you remember, the heir gather people from all over to estate dive for gold and riches in his ruined estate. After the DD, suddenly the population of the hamlet is restored. Maybe all the heroes left, but the support structure stayed, from trinket and food sellers to blacksmith and the adventure guild, the hamlet returned to a bustling place with a maddened ruler who deposed himself, for fear of repeating the crimes of his ancestors, only to find his descendants fall to the same sin, the prophecy came true and he returned with warnings and prophecies.
