[Music] hello everyone and welcome to a brand new Theory and speculation video today I want to talk about King desit and speculate on if he could still be alive somehow even though we learned a lot about des and suu there are still a lot of mysteries surrounding him including the matter of his death now this video does contain spoilers for The Quest listed on screen now so if you haven't done those you have been warned with all that said though let's get right into the [Music] video before I get into the theories though I want to cover King des's story so far and what we know about him so let's go back to the very beginning of his story long ago King Des was known as a son of the sky and as such he was worshiped by the three three great tribes of the desert despite this he had no knowledge of the three Moon sisters or the era of the cely which means he likely came after that era at some point Des would meet the goddess of flowers and a survivor of the cely Nabu malikat together the two would build the city of ium for the Jinn in the language of the Jinn this name means city of the Moon Maiden now desit did have feelings for Nabu malikat but it is unknown if she ever reciprocated them the two would remain as friends and eventually they would meet a third God greater Lord radada desit the strongest of the three allowed the other two to share his throne and they became known as the three Eternal companion Gods around this time Celestia wanted to give a gift to King desit like Le enosis but he rejected this gift you see desr had strong Ambitions and he was even willing to rebel against the heavenly principles to fulfill these Ambitions soon he would share these desires with Nabu malikat who was hesitant of his ideas at first eventually though she decided to help him with his plans on the other hand though Ruka devada did not support these plans as such she left the other two and went to a corner of the desert here she would create the veruna contraption and the rainforest of sumeru which you would rule over until her death getting back to Des though he would work with Nabu Malik cata for some time on his plans however she would soon sacrifice herself in a ritual leaving Des alone to mourn her after her death he would go to the Jin instead of telling them the truth though he lied saying that Nabu Malika was just in deep Slumber he promised the jyn that if he was allowed to borrow their power he would find her again after gaining their power deser went searching for the Divine nail of the Sands upon finding it he used its power and the aid of the Jin to build the Eternal Oasis as a grave site for the goddess of flowers leaving the genie ferraes to watch over it after all of this was done desate planned to establish a vast Kingdom in the desert he wanted to build a Utopia free of worry schemes and slavery where no one could get hurt however the location he wished to build in was part of the dendro Sovereign aeps domain leading to the two of them having a meeting in this meeting they made a deal which allowed desit to build his kingdom in suu's deserts for a Pep's part of the deal they would be allowed to consume King Des after his death to absorb all of his knowledge the two both agreed to the deal so Des went on to establish his Rule now due to Ruku deada leaving and Nabu malikat passing away the kingdom they had once ruled over had split into numerous Waring tribes seeing this deser would send the Jinn as his envoys to find suitable humans who would act as vassel Kings and Priests who would then guide others to follow desit one of these envoys was the genie lupar who found a suitable human named oraz together they went on to established the grand city of gbad however due to lup's feelings of betrayal the city didn't last very long if you want to know exactly what happened I did make a video on gad's lore quite recently after after gabad fell though deser would split lupar Spirit into seven parts for her role in the city's collapse additionally gad's fall LED King deser to further his research into taboo knowledge in order to obtain his desired Utopia his desires had already been accelerated by the death of Nabu malikat and he slowly became more and more absorbed by Nostalgia and Obsession according to the lay of Alamar deser became so engrossed in his work that he excluded himself for several years in his isolation he sought a way to transcend his mortal form introducing the concept of the golden Slumber his people would follow along with these dreams leading to the creation of the Primal constructs additionally this concept would result in a mysterious mechanism located at kaj nut if someone sat upon King desert's throne and recited a certain prayer they would be allowed to enter the golden Slumber now as time went on D began to realize that his motivations were not truly out of benevolence for his people instead he longed to return to the days where the three Eternal companion Gods ruled over the Sands even with this realization deser went on to find a way to separate his mind and body achieving some success in his plans in the end though Des would end up sacrificing himself to save sumeru from Forbidden Knowledge marking his death however I don't believe that this is truly the end of King des's story per their deal a pep would consume des's body after he died to gather his knowledge however they were corrupted due to the nature of the Forbidden Knowledge held by desit AEP believed this to be a fail safe in des's plan and that it was completely intentional either way this was only King des's body as I said earlier desit did end up finding a way to separate his mind body the body was swallowed by a pep after his supposed death but what about his mind well his mind could simply just reside within the golden Slumber that he created he could be living out his fantasy with Nabu malikat and greater Lord Ruku deada just like he always dreamed of however this doesn't seem like something desro would be satisfied by he was extremely ambitious and even if he did remain in the golden Slumber for some time it would not be enough for him in the end desert may have decided to leave the golden Slumber to try and make his fantasy a reality so if he left the golden Slumber where would he go and what would he look like well I believe the answer lies within the cut scene that shows us his sacrifice here the eye that represents him falls into a puddle and a purple Crystal briefly splashes up as many have pointed out this purple crystal is very similar to The Sinner seen in the car re bear our Conquest as such destr could have used the forbidden knowledge to ascend Beyond his mortal form becoming known as a sinner to Celestia in fact he could be the very sinner we see in Cary bear or at least something like it now in ki bear there are a total of six chains that hold up the cner in my opinion this could tie back to the seven sages of King desit but hold on if there were seven sages why are there only six chains well AEP was one of the sages but they never counted themselves as one of them as such the change could each represent one of the stages minus a pep so if desit is in fact The Sinner seen in ki bear why would he want to help clar and the abyss order well as I said earlier he would have been willing to defy the Heavenly principles in order to achieve his goals additionally he was definitely not afraid to use Forbidden Knowledge from beond to that after gabad fell he didn't want another similar event to happen again he didn't want to see anyone suffer or age and more importantly to him he wanted to see his old friends again with the knowledge that the abyss order wishes to overthrow the Heavenly principles he may have seen it as wise to assist them he could believe that if Celestia was gone Ruka devat and Nabu malikat could both potentially return after that the three Eternal companion Gods could be reunited and no one else would have to get hurt now as for when he will be mentioned again I'd say we have to wait until danli finally appears again at the end of Ki bear danlea had a thought as to who The Sinner was but wanted to investigate more before confirming his thoughts To Us by the time we see him again he could be ready to tell us who The Sinner was if he is in fact King desit that could allow for a lot of interesting storylines to be introduced he could make an appearance again at some point perhaps even meeting Nita for the first time it would be interesting to see if he was affected by the changes in manil and if he still remembers greater Lord ravada also he could potentially meet with a pep again though I don't think that conversation would end very well anyways that's pretty much it for my thoughts on King desert and his potential for the future if you want to know more about sumer's lore I recommend my videos on flower Paradise Lost vork kash's glow and the rise and fall of gabad I also plan on making a video like this about Nabu Malik Kata as well as a lore video on the Seven Cities of sumeru I would love to hear what ideas you all have for King desr in the comments below as well anyways that's it for this video thank you so much for watching sources and further readings are also in the description if you want to check them out I hope you all have an amazing day and I'll see you all in the next video [Music] [Music]
