"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown"

These were the words spoken between Master Willem and Laurence.

From the cautious teacher to the ambitious student

Fear what you do not understand. Love the cuts and voice over

as you might have guessed, with blood, ancient blood.

Deep below the city of Yharnam lies the ancient underground labyrinth

of Pthumeru. You know it as the Chalice Dungeons.

The old labyrinth was carved out by the Pthumerians,

superhuman beings that are said to have discovered a sinister truth.

The hunters had another name for the labyrinth; they called it "The Tomb of the Gods,"

for below, they found traces of godlike beings named "The Great Ones."

The Great Ones could function on transcendental planes of thought,

meaning they had elevated their consciousness beyond the physical realm.

The benefits of operating on this plane are unclear.

Perhaps it was in the name of immortality, or perhaps power,

as even beyond, the Great Ones could interfere with beings and events in the waking world.

Whatever the case, it is clear that some sort of ascension took place,

as there are numerous references to some Great Ones being left behind.

Of all the strange life forms that reside in the nooks and crannies of the old labyrinth,

the slugs are clear signs of the left-behind Great Ones.

One such Great One appears to be abandoned Ebrietas,

a left-behind being who apparently did not ascend with her brethren.

One day, Ebrietas would be discovered by the humans above,

in a crusade that begins with a character named Willem.

Master Willem presided over a prestigious place of learning,

Byrgenwerth. Situated by a tranquil lake and secluded within a gigantic forest,

Byrgenwerth housed the minds that would change the world.

In fact, everything sacred in Yharnam came to be traced back to Byrgnwerth,

including the most influential characters within our story.

Bloodborne's lore is very character-driven and there are five who I'm going to help

There was Master Willem, Runesmith Caryll, Laurence,

Micolash, and Gherman. I'll introduce them to you in the order that they become

As I said Master Willem was the head of the school

at Byrgenwerth. The man was obsessed with the truth

and believed in pushing the limits of humanity.

in almost every dialogue and description, Willem is referred to

as Master or Provost, clearly deserving of a great deal of respect.

Many would eventually diverge from his tutorage but few can say

that they didn't owe everything to his research, for while Willem presided

the scholars there discovered terrific things in the tombs

Once a group of young Byrgenwerth scholars discovered a holy medium

deep within the tomb. This led to the founding of the Healing Church

It's hard to be sure exactly what was found, but we do know it was related to

On the ground floor of Byrgenwerth College we find the Pearl Slugs,

remnants of the great ones and at the very top of the college

we find the Empty Phantasm Shell - an empty invertebrate shell

that is said to be the familiar of a Great One.

After this discovery, whatever it was that showed them that the Great Ones

the Byrgenwerth scholars launched an inquiry into the great ones

and the old blood; for from this point onwards

there is an explosion of lore and history and references

to what the scholars found in the tombs below Yharnam.

Many of these references come from Runesmith Caryll, the second character of our

Caryll transcribed the inhuman utterings of the great ones

into what we now call Caryll Runes. In true

Lovecraftian fashion, it is really likely that it's impossible for humans

to comprehend the speech of the great ones but Caryll

apparently had a knack, a talent for creating a visual representation

of the Great One's words. The hunter who receives this workshop tool

can edge Caryll runes into their mind to attain their wondrous

strength. Provost Willem would have been proud of Caryll's runes,

as they do not rely upon blood in any measure.

This statement is curious; it tells us three things:

first, Provost Willem and Caryll were close,

as Willem would have been proud of him. And second, Willem

didn't have a chance to be proud, so it's possible that the two lost contact.

would have been proud BECAUSE the runes did not rely on blood.

In other words, Willem did not approve the use of the old blood,

the blood found in the Tomb of the Gods. The "Metamorphosis" rune states

"the discovery of blood made their dream of evolution a reality.

Metamorphosis, and the excesses and deviation that followed,

was only the beginning." Willem believed in a different path.

He believed in attaining more insight, for humanity's eyes

had yet to open. The "Eye" rune states that 'Master Willem looked to beings from higher

and sought to line his brain with eyes in order to elevate

his thoughts. And with these descriptions, you should have some idea of the scale

of ambition of these characters, with the discovery of beings greater

came a desire to ascend into Godhood, to push humanity

into its next stage of evolution. The only question was

how? blood? Or insight? And this was a question that split the ranks of the

It's how we arrived at the cutscene we started out earlier,

with Master Willem and Laurence parting ways. [LAURENCE]: "Master Willem,
