I’m really proud of how this came out! This little to no 1.0 lore out there and I feel like Nael’s story is far to important to be overlooked, so here it is. MASSIVE shout out to Abzug Boneforge (Goblin) who helped me collect the footage I’d need to make this video that much more impressive. I hope you all enjoy this as much as I had fun making it!

YEEEEEEES !!!!! finaly !!
wait… so that was her house?
I’m more amazed how well a Garlean medic became a legatus. A well accomplished legatus.
thank you for this video! i know basically nothing about 1.0 and it was wonderful to learn more about it =D
I feel Nael has a lot more importance to come, seeing House Darnus had/has control of Corvos- Which is where the G Tribe is located, and has a lot of access to Allagan technology.
Early morning lore?? Yes please
Now this is a damn good villain origin story.
Funny how garlamold outside of house darness didn’t know dalamuds true nature even though they should have records in the imperial palace considering house darness. This is though one side affect of this tail I think we are all forgotten, the lambs of dalamud. Professor would it be possible that a future lecture could go over the cult and their machinations?
the white raven herself whose actions nearly sent eorzea to its grave she who started it all
Nael’s always had this sort of mythical quality to her as someone who joined post-1.0. The one villain the canonically gave the WoL nightmares, something not even Zenos managed to achieve.
This was deep, I always look forward to your uploads and content. Lots of great story telling here, thank you!!
iirc alisaie, urianger and the wol know that nael wasn't actually nael, but in the wake of the ruby weapon, do more people know? or was gaius & co just like "huh that big slime woman was weird. anyways,"?
also, i GOTTA know. do we know if meteor is an allagan word or a garlean one in universe? if amon really called it the meteor project im gonna start screaming and crying ( meteion. meteor. both were sent into space )
I have long been interested in the Coils raid lore, and this was a real treat. It threw me to see a woman when from all had heard before, Nael was was a man. So this helped clear things up immensely! This is definetely one to rewatch and pass on to friends 🙂
I still remember when Nael Van Darnus said "It's morbin time"
Maybe you should do a video on Gaius van Baelsar so we understand his mindset in ARR and the other campaigns onward because I am fascinated by his attitude towards primals, Ascians and Eorzea at one point.
I came in at the tail end of Stormblood so all I knew about Nael in game was from NPCs so this was good to watch
I see the endwalker #
Does this have endwalker spoilers or just 1.0 and binding coils info?
Having never played 1.0, this is a beautifull story. God that is amazing storytelling. Only played till ARR, but this is my favorite character from everything I have seen.
So, I doubt there's a concrete answer to be had here as it's ultimately a tiny detail in the grander scheme of things but, do we have any idea where Nael – the true Nael – suffered his mortal wounds? Considering time frames I'm just wondering how likely a resistance group fleeing from Kaien's failed uprising might have found themselves in the crosshairs of the seventh legion. A detail that likely matters to me and me alone.
THANK YOU! Footage and story beats from 1.0 and the 1.X series is insanely hard to come by.
While it’s doubtful anyone would want a 1.0 “Classic” server, there are a number of us that would love a video synopsis of the pre-calamity story and it’s associated lore.
I am so happy to learn more about 1.0 story
Thank you, Synodic Scribe <3
GOD YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD STORY TELLER MY DUDE. Every single video has enraptured me. Thank you.
Great video
She would have eventually have been called Eula Jes Darnus as a chirurgeon.
Naels a based dude, love how crazy he is
So I happened to be watching this during my MSQ roulette, and I can't help but notice that the Ultimate Weapon bears a very strong resemblance to Nael's armor. That can't be a coincidence.
