Dota 2 Lore Bits

The Lore of #Dota2 is fascinating but hardly accessible. Let us explore the backstories of our heroes and watch the story that unfolds in #Artifact.

so.. long time no see.. but with the Beta of @DotaUnderlords we got a hint of the lore that might come. The game is set in the city of White Spire. A place in which Mireska, Meepo and Gondar used to bet on courier races.

I'm so glad to see that valve included some lore.

@SirActionSlacks This tweet haunts me. I don't even know what's going on anymore. Every time I open Twitter it's on top of my timeline and I gotten at least 3 notifications about it...

Message received, I stop trying to make dragon knight a thing.

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

@SirActionSlacks But the hints to the lore are nice. Underlords batteling it out in the shady city of White Spire, with gambling and courier races. Sounds like an interesting setting to me.

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

@3HuntLe0 yeah... just a bit absorbed by my exams.

Hey if you want to read a longer text about some lore issues, I wrote a reddit post about it.

When Verodicia, Goddess of the Woods, finished planting her seeds, her time came to an end.
So as she died, she swallowed her last seed.
Through the winter, her body decomposed which fertilized the seed and it sprouted into Nature's Prophet, Protector of the Woods. #Dota2

Hey, @PlayArtifact did the attack on Stonehall by Underlord happen before the battle of Roseleaf?
Because due to these mentions of coffee the attack by Underlord would have to happen first. (assuming both happened and one wasn't avoided by the Artifact)

The bronze legion conquered Morbeek and then needed 5 days to return to SH.
A Roman army traveled ~20m a day. Since Morbeek is not on the new map i'd say it has max 200m in diameter but that would mean SH to Roseleaf takes <1 day. Seems kinda small
@SirActionSlacks any thoughts?

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

Belasanno is a Satyr and the founder of the Stonehall Elite. He appears to be an incredibly good tactician and many consider it a great honor to be trained by him.
Oh, and according to Pangolier he's in a relationship with Tresdin.

@Kyuseishun @SirActionSlacks Hm, not currently. At the moment I'd guess that she is in the Dota world (on the planet). It might just be the Artifact, that gives her these powers. I am atm not sure if she possesses any innate time related abilities.

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

After reading the new #Artifact comic, I am strongly convinced that Jolixia is a "time agent" sent by the Ancients to break the timeloop.
This idea relies on @SirActionSlacks color theory. Just look at this image. #dota2
Here's a link to the comic https://t.co/3t0JHKzh5h

So this is not really lore but something interesting i came across.
The three Shades in Dota are Atropos, Belladonna and Tyrian.

There exists a plant that is called Deadly Nightshade or in latin:
"Atropa Belladonna" and has a tyrian color. (a shade of purple)

The merchant Kingdom of Revtel is made up of 3 sovereign kingdoms. They were ruled by Lord Sunbreeze, the Brass Herald and Kwerthias.

But currently there are only 2 Kings, since the veiled Sisters killed Kwerthias which saved Sunbreeze from Debbi who wanted to kill him.#dota2

A long time ago, Virga Truebark defied the Iron Princeling. One of her loyal supporters was Nature's Prophet. Sadly It is kinda implied that she died and left her spear to Enchantress.
I wonder if the Iron Princeling is related to the Brass Herald, who's King of Iron Fog? #Dota2

At one point, Broodmother and Monkey King had quite a good relationship. But all good things must come to an end and they now hate eachother.
It's not quite clear why or how close they were but I think that Brek is on the right track. #dota2

@herchik1337 I mean they carry spears, have jobs(assassins) and wear clothes, so I'd say they are civilised but not organised. Also they are a young race since the treants saw the vhouls evolve and develop a culture.

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

@herchik1337 There is a vhoul neutral camp tho ;)

@_Kfmf Rubick hates Pugna because he uses the Forces that consumed his father. He considers the Oblivion a threat and wants it to be (ironically) forgotten.
I don't like using ingame stats like cd because it could change, but even here. Who could use the scepter better than its creator?

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

Okay, while reading up on Aghanim I pretty much reached the same conclusion as @SirActionSlacks with his headcannon.
https://t.co/MXE9SnJdK3
Aghanim passed into Oblivion and was reborn as Pugna.
But the key selling points for me were Oblivion and a Pudge Arcana Voice line tho.

[Dota 2 Lore Bits @Dota2LoreBits]

@_Kfmf Cool. 😄

Pugna isn't Aghanim he is his reincarnation. The first thing he does after being reborn is killing for his old artifacts.
Aghanim is an Artificer, the fact that he uses a ward supports this theory even more. Consider Crystal Maiden's item lore: https://t.co/iZokmRQQSQ
