Asparagus Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 The way I see it, Charlie is masterminding a great con against Them. She makes it seem like she's pushing the survivors to their doom to please Them but actually, she's giving them more and more ways to get stronger, the items the Bosses drop, new places to gather materials and loot... she even had the Portal opened again (and this will just be me theorizing), to open routes to other worlds to get more things... expanding the survivors' range and also Their entertainment value... if they die, they get brought back... as ghosts... the Constant... before, (back in Single player, which btw is the prequel of DST, making DST the sequel after Maxwell's reign) things changed... After Wilson got released from the portal by none other than Charlie, he retained some knowledge he acquired from sitting on the Nightmare Throne from that brief moment and utilized it to make the DST portal prototype along with Maxwell's help eventually getting upgraded by Charlie to become the Florid Postern we know today. As it was before, each survivor had their own little version of purgatory to live in... all in the same place but never in the same place... but because of Wilson's actions (yet unknown if it was by chance that he acquired this knowledge on his own or by an outside force, most likely Charlie herself), the worlds became connected again and this somehow the shattered fragments of the worlds that each survivor were living in connected making the world a constant... The Constant. That does raise the question though... If Pugna has existed before our band of "survivors" came here, why does he know that the name of the world is The Constant? Could it be that when Maxwell first came here, a great war had broken out obliterating it... he did mention that when he came here, there was nothing... just dust, the void, and Them... (5:12 of the video) Perhaps it was already called "The Constant" before during Pugna's self-exile and since he was in the forge, he didn't know that a lot of things have changed... Assuming that the Ancients had a great war -- or if I may, a massacre -- (after Pugna retreated to The Forge) wherein the Ancients fought against Them... knowing that they can't win against Them, they opted for an alternative... destroying or sealing or limiting Their influence on the other realms attached to the Constant by sealing the heart... the Atrium, the gateway of worlds... Somehow, Pugna found a way or was lucky to find a shard that was away from Their influence, though a desolate place, he and his people survived "with out a scepter to provide for them". That means, that they could have been the Ancients that we've been hearing about.... BUT (and this is a very big but) he and his men do not look insectoid/reptilian in any way... (maybe the Crocomanders but I'll get to that in a minute) From what we've gathered, the Constant contains the Hub (I'm assuming is the Atrium where different worlds can be accessed). With those many worlds, there is bound to be different versions of civilizations ruled and/or conquered by Them. With that, we can assume that each world, The Hamlet, The Forge, etc contained different races... each having their own version of the Scepter and Torch... it could be that each world lived in the same way wherein the Scepter provided and the Torch guided... that could be a way to explaining why he knows of the Scepter even though he does not look like one of the Ancients we know of... could be they transformed from bugs to pigs because nightmare fuel but eh. Also we saw the Ancients transform into Nightmare creatures (which may explain the Swimming Horrors being SW exclusive as they may be in the same boat.) There are so many things to theorize about but so little evidence to back them up... all I can say is that an event catastrophic enough to bring together the races from different shards attached to the Constant could have been brought to the Constant to fight against Them which ended with the Constant being reduced to ashes and the void... (I lost my train of theory after eating a big lunch... dang it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l96735063 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Why can not we understand this incident as an alternative "adventure model"? We through the door in the world constantly shuttle, until you find the central throne, and then pull down Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaartan Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Maybe in the events after Forge we will meet more races and gather allies (or enemies) along the way, eventually having enough to bring them all together and against Them, sorta like a rebellion of several races.

ShadyPK Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'll be honest, Dont Starve's lore is one of the best, and I always love learning new things and making theories, its just so interesting and awesome to learn all these things together.

I think the hub is a central area, and the constant is just one of the areas that link to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird in my opinion. You'd think we'd have to go from the Constant to the Hub to the Forge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
