The dragons dont like the other statue because theyre divorced 💔

[riessene]

I feel like caldarus sealed his rival (possibly evil?) dragon to the cost of his own power and memories. And once we unlock all 6 seals both of them will be freed. And I think the priestess is sort of a lure this dragon uses to encourage us to free her. VERY excited for evil wife:>

[msemma]

I absolutely died when you shared your cozy spot for talking to Caldarus. Adorable!

[loveshot]

When I found out that the creators of Fields of Mistria are the people behind Pusheen the Cat, something clicked in my brain. It makes so much sense!

[traeshyNOTtrashy]

Gosh i love the lore in this game. They didn't have to go that hard since cozy games rarely do but i adore the amount of world-building this game already has. I'm speculating that Caldarus and the other dragon had something to do with the split between the Aldarian Kingdom and the Caldosian Empire. It was mentioned by either Eiland or Errol (idk can't remember exactly) that they used to be one kingdom comprised of different pre-Alda tribes. There were no records of how or why they split tho. It's also intriguing that one dragon seems to have left traces of itself throughout history while the other just faded into obscurity. I can't wait for the Q4 update!

[StoryBird]

I was so sad when I realized what the heart next to the name meant in game.. because it meant I couldn't marry Olric. BUT YOOOO I can wait until dragon romance is a thing, none of the other candidates interest me enough.

[Zodia]

Caldarus fell asleep on me during Winter . . . I wonder if it's because I exhausted all of his dialogue or if he just gets tired during winter because I can't talk to him anymore! This was my sign that I REALLY like the guy.

[kaeladoo]

ahaha I’m glad I’m not the only one with a cosy spot for him!! i have all of my fruit trees growing there with a picnic blanket and goodies in the middle😭

[homesteadhero]

I full on SHOUTED when you made the comparison to Animal Parade: I have been saying this since the second I met Caldarus! The Harvest King vibes are real. I genuinely feel like the charm of that game lives happily on in this one 🥰

[vanillaessc]

the callback to Animal Parade was a great theory and inspo! I also share this sentiment and adored getting to woo 2 beautiful lore-locked gods 🥰 it creates a challenge after completing the main story but doesnt necessarily affect your day to day life in the game. I hope to see Caldarus' human form someday to see how charming he becomes~ although seeing that purple heart day1 was too much of a tease imo lol

[sometransfish]

i think the unknown dragon is the other marriage candidate, but i dont think the dragon priestess is her. in my head, the priestess was a priestess, possibly the last priestess, who worshipped the unknown dragon, and now her spirit is attempting to get the player to release the dragon from the mines. im very excited to see where this goes though.

[ahchuusy]

It's interesting to see that characters like the Priestess and Olric are both conventionally attractive and interesting to the point you'd think they'd be romanceable but... I agree with a lot of others in that the Priestess probably won't end up a romantic interest at any point in the story. But since there's also I'd actually be kind of curious to see if there's going to be some kind of romantic subplot for the two of them (or at least for one.) Especially because Olric used to be a miner so the Priestess could be familiar with him. Errol would talk about hearing a beckoning voice in the mines that creeped him out. I can't remember if Olric really talked about the voice, but at the very least, he didn't seem spooked like Errol was. Or maybe I just really want side romances because, like in Harvest Moon Animal Parade, I kind of miss having romantic rivals. It made me feel better, in a way, to know that the people I didn't choose in the end would still have someone to love. 🥺 (Also because I like Olric but not as much as the people who are saddened by him not being romanceable lmao)

[MaryGershwin]

Oh my god, animal parade was EVERYTHING!! Gotta say, I would still put A Wonderful Life for the GameCube first, but Animal Parade comes right after.

[donutmunchie]

My theory is that it is the Priestess but she won't be dateable until you finish her quest line (possibly finishing the mines?), she's wearing a hood so if she does have horns they're currently hidden (or maybe they show up later). She's also a ghost, so perhaps later on she regains her dragon powers and is brought back into her human/dragon form, likely like Caldarus would be. Going off the sprites, the gold head piece could be the jewels on her head, her hair is wavey, and it's possible her hair is blue and skin is grey despite her current palette being blue/white (cause shes dead duh). If the hood comes off than she might look more like the outline.

Other theory is she plays a large part into reviving the second dragon, maybe giving herself up to revive them.

Now does her Gem color change? Or maybe it's permanently purple until the revival. As far as I know, she's not someone you can actively talk to outside of the cutscenes. So it might just change later.

EDIT: (Spoiler)
If you play the game in 1x scale mode, you can see up the broken stairs in the ruins. It let's you see the statue :)

[dovahc]

I think Seridia was the Witch Queen of the ancient kingdom while Caldarus was the Dragonsworn Hero.

What I wonder is why have they both been magically sealed and by who.

Maybe Seridia did? Or perhaps it was Caldarus

[adorakamalia]

Maybe the existence of Eiland and Adeline tells something about the story of Caldarus vs Other Dragon. I feel like there's a correlation somewhere. Maybe like twins who had a fall out, siblings who betrayed eo. but i feel like having Eiland and Adeline as the royals in the today's context of Mistria has something to do with the past.

[aqualiley]

No but finally someone else mentions HM:AP?! It's an instant subscribe from me tbh 🫶🏽 Animal Parade/Tree of Tranquility are such underrated entries to the series and it's so nice to hear someone mention it as one of the best 🥹💖 Anyway, totally not the point of the video but I just had to say something!!! Lovely vid 💖

[denysvision]

my headcanon is that seridia and caldarus where biter exes

[ganyymedes]

great video! i appreciate how much insight you gleaned from eiland and what he doesn't know, he's such a good tool for dishing out lore that even him not knowing is a big deal

[MinakochiEmmie]

I want olrick as a marriage candidate 😭 like he's a himbo! He's perfect. Also i love yhe video 🩷
