Do you have a source <| sep |> Hey , I know we don ' t really know each other , but you okay ? Saria shows up at the medic cabin , a strange lack of her twin in the air . <| sep |> Not really worth it yet . We are still waiting for the next patch multicrew , part 3 of horizons season to get our money ' s worth . It should give you a good 550 hours of playtime though srv plus engineer modifications and the hope that the next parts will be great . The reasons you left the game in the first place are probably still there I ' m afraid . <| sep |> Blaha and Kelser ez <| sep |> I think that only the branches in LothricFarron and Irithyll turned into the Church of the Deep . Yes , this makes sense . I ' m sorry , I was unclear , I was referring to the Way of White in Lothric . Aldrich was probably the highest ranking member of the Cathedral , or perhaps even the leader of the caretakers of the Deep . I find a few problems with this . First of all , there ' s no mention of him being a leader . There ' s also the fact that all three Archdeacons are accounted for . Surely if he had been a fourth , we would ' ve received some mention of it . As it stands , I think the most likely scenario is that he was a highranking , right and proper cleric , but not a leader . Hawkwood would certainly have referred to him by his position of authority otherwise . This still doesn ' t really affect the narrative , though . The other problem is with him caretaking of the Deep . Hawkwood refers to him as a right and proper cleric , and I doubt he would mention him in this way if he had been tending to the Dark . Containing it ? Sure , that ' s what the narrative postulates . But the Cathedral of the Deep started off as a branch of the Way of White and a powerful one , given its grandiosity , I ' d wager , so I ' m a bit iffy about it siding with the Dark all along . So Aldrich had found a way beyond linking the fire , possibly as Candidate described in his Deep video . Yes , I did watch the video , one link to it was enough , thanks . The conquest of Irithyll was made easy because it was encroached by two powerful forces of corruption , the Profaned Flame and the Deep , both tied to the Dark . Very possibly ! Especially if Sulyvahn , his most powerful ally , already had control over the Profaned Flame . Why did Sulyvahn killed him ? Did Sulyvahn became the Pontiff by usurping McDonnell ' s position ? Well , one the one hand , we don ' t know whether Sulyvahn killed him or not . I like your thinking , though ! Sulyvahn is a triedandtrue usurper , and if McDonnell whose name could curiously translate as son of the ruler of the world accompanied Aldrich , perhaps he was an obstacle to Sulyvahn ' s rule . So I ' d consider your proposed scenario likely !
