Starting

When there was no time or space. .. There was empty void then as we now "big bang" happens Universe begins. Then Diruulth , Radianthul and Zet  (Arc Warden) Summons in Nowhere  .



Dire and Radiant

Radiant Symbols Nature , peace and the intelligence.
Dire Symbols violence , war and strength .

So Two of them Is totally opposite and tries to destroy other one. But for Zet they should reunite and end their war so Zet Prison two ancient in fragments and put them in mad moon .

Science Fact !

So Radiant and dire like human brain's  hemispheres  and Zet acts like Corpus Callosum .

So back in lore ancients keeps their war in mad moon then moon shatters and fragments of ancients falls to worlds .
Civilizations Build their lives around the fragments of the ancients . But Fragments got a power they can obtain every physical thing around them they can clean minds of heroes and use them or slowly curses creatures mentally and pysical and turn them into creeps . About creeps their job is destroy other ancient .

Important fact : So as players we are ancients we corrupt a hero's mind and use them and the reason game ends when a ancient destroys is other player I mean ancient loses .

Colors&Symbols of Dota 

Well Now we will talk About deep things.

Dire

Dire's color is red and dire ore products strength . Dire's want is reclaim and destroy. 

Radiant

Radiant's color is blue and radiant ore products Intelligence . Radiant's want is manipulate and enslave.

Planets

Planets with I mean normal creatures and it's color is yellow . Trying to say in game you can see gold items , those items do not use any magic those use technology . But in some items you can see gold items modified with radiant ore that gives intelligence or a dire ore that gives strength . So yellow is important one.

Unknown

Unknown's color is purple it can broke time and make someone invisible or visible and create portals . In items you can see purple items few in shop . In hereos you can see faceless void , templar assassin , dark seer . Oh wait a second  dazzle been in shadow realm and back then he's purple maybe shadow realm is unknown ? 

Well Now I will tell about important one the third ancient theory and it's color.

There is World Guardians like enchantress that's warden of nature's beauty and leshrac that's warden of nature's chaotic side . Now here we can see wardens physical looking is 4 leg and 2 arm so it's typical centaur . I wanna talk about the Outworld Devourer . So from his story we know he's from another planet that died and he's searching for the thing that killed his world . Hmm so he's high-intelligence  hero but he's color isn't blue like radiant , it's neonic green . Well from he's physical looking we can see he was a warden . But he got stones in his body it look like stones covering his body . Wait A minute a stone that's corrupt it's like ancient fragments so it's the ancient that kills whole planet . So we got a  secret child from birth of universe . It's color is green that's focus on attack and move speed it's agility . Here we got third ancient The Nether it's only will is kill .
So here we got The nether it's color green and focuses on agility.

Well first we will talk about meranths the humanoid creatures Who lives in seas . But unlike humans there is different races and physical differences.







1. Meranths : We never saw a meranths official but we know a one who's mother is meranths the sven . Well we saw merants Kai in the Silthbreaker Comic it's very human like creature but fishy stuff in their heads.  So maybe that's why sven made shadow mask for keep his fishy head .

2. Leviathans : They Still human like creatures but we can see clear fish like lookings and gigantic body sizes. Those Leviathans lives in shallow waters and deep oceans . Leviathans  always hungry creatures and in game we know one leviathan  the tidehunter.

3. Slithereen : Those creatures scaled before going full fish looking . They got  mostly  like aquatic features but they still got arms and human facial features. They can have fishy tail like Naga and slardar or 2 leg like slark even octopus looking we saw in Silthbreaker comic.
Slithereens goes in factions one of them named  as deep  ones who guard the sunken cities and treasures  the Slithereens  hold  dear.  So they like royal guards of Slithereens that protects sacred things . Also there is Slithereen battalions who guard the guards . And unlike those deep ones Slithereen guards joins wars they like army.


So We Technically  Know Meranths Systems.
Let's Take a look at poem about Gem of True Sight.

Beyond the reach of Southward's End,
Where summer's warmth dares not to roam
Songs tell of ancient treasures lost
Worth more than titles, lands and home

At night skies streak in ribbon's glow
Chill ocean's maze of jagged frost
Wild winds betray the best of men
Where boldest captains fear to cross

Within 'tis said's a hidden coast
Unknown to neither map or man
Where once there died a seaborn fiend
Washed up along its sandy span

Inside this corpse, the legends claim
A gem lay hid away from sight
And who dares hold this stone unique
Shall see all hidden forms of fright

From whence the single frigate sailed
No soul still lives to dare recall
Brave voyage launched into the cold
Afraid of neither gale nor squall

To southern ice and wind they forged
The dauntless crew did plot their trek
In times the fields of floe and berg
Gave glimpse of land to all on deck

Upon an arctic shore they spied
Frost touched remains of monster vast
Old marks from briny wars they saw
And ice locked teeth to dwarf their mast

On darkened beach was set a host
To excavate this mortal coil
Their picks and tools they lifted high
Then dug into their grisly toil

For days and days they hacked and crawled
As stained was beach in ancient gore
Through rib and tissue, deep they delved
And wrought their path to monster's core

From humid depths came glowing dim
Strange spectral light of emerald hue
Great gem matched size with finder's fist
Worn crew rejoiced; old songs proved true

Returned to deck with treasure held
As one all crew did choke their breath
For ringed they were by wraiths of yore
Ghost ships long sunk, and those past death

For hidden from the common eye
Are ones who drift when lifeblood fails
Bright gem grants truth to sight they learned
Then set with fright to raising sails

Yet ghastly shades no harm intend
But warning men whose air's still drawn
To bring sight's stone on waters wide
Would raise the wrath of deep Maelrawn

A day and twelve on ocean waves
Passed laden, anxious crew's retreat
When came long shadows in their wake
Lord Maelrawn's servant, come to eat

By haste and lucky breeze they sped
Four dawns the scourge kept far at bay
Until a wisp of earth drew far
When fickle fortune's winds betrayed

As beast drew under ship to strike
Rowboats were filled with man and loot
Then loosed were heavy chain and weight
To crashed ship's anchor on sea's brute

Then deck leaned port as seabeast scaled
Wild tendril fury came aboard
In frenzied panic three boats fled
With ship entangled, kraken roared

Through tree thick feelers twist and squeeze
Wood hull made vent to frozen surge
As half-ship sank, death's master called
The gem still moved, and neared shore's verge

In rushed pursuit the kraken swam
To overtake the first boat of three
When drowned men froze and wreckage sank
Did hunter learn its charge stayed free

As second crew in horror rowed
Slick grasping fingers closed around
Yet once again gem was not there
And third boat's band set foot aground

So terrified of Maelrawn's rage
Did thrashing scourge set out anew
Then breached itself upon the surf
As kraken flailed, its foe withdrew

Of fated crew's last port and call
No grey account still deigns to say
Some firm believe they made toward home
Though others tell of hangman's swap
Of gem and tidal deepgod's hunt
Vain quest goes on without reward
Its servants blindly come to shore
To kill and raze, be put to sword

For no thrall creature of the depths
Nor spirit bound in drowning's keep
Nor Maelrawn the Tentacular
Shall rest till seas, gem comes to sleep




So let's talk about it.



We're going to Southward's end about a legend. So for legend there is a hidden coast no man been that's so hard to navigate. So there is a Gigantic creature died in there and the gem hidden in its body  . When they've found corpse it says "lift their tools high" so they're climbed to reach top of corpse you can think how gigantic is it. So those sailors finds the gem and goes back to their ship and low behold they can see every ship that died in that area , complete with ghostly crews who are ringing their bells . But not to scare them , to warn them that moving the gem from shallow water to the deep ocean  would awaken maelrawn . Oh my "maelrawn's servant come to eat" so maelrawn sent a servant to reclaim the gem . So crew abandoned the ship and drop a ancor at head of beast . So beast sees 3 boat escaping and kills first boat. Beast kills second crew but gem not there and third crew makes short to the shore and creature can't catch them.  So no one knows what happen to third one but one thing maelrawn won't sleep until gem returns to ocean.


So this is all we know but enaugh to explore  all. 


First of all when we look at hereos kunkka is the admiral of ship in poem. Servant of  Maelrawn is Tidehunter and he's following kunkka cause he claims gem from corpse that's why kunkka can summon ghost ship.  And says drop ancor at top of beast so kunkka drops ancor at head of tidehunter so it is the ancor tidehunter carries . But humans call tidehunter as kraken but it's leviathan who workships Maelrawn it explains how he can summon tentacles for revange .  So we know why tidehunter hates kunkka.  A great mystery Solved !



So it's all ?   No not yet !

Well In battle of crey maelrawn sent all of he's leviathan servants to distract slitheereds and one of he's loyal thief can stole the goblet modified with gem of true sight. Cause of this fail naga's banned from her land's so she wants to slay maelrawn and slardar tries to help her with hunt slark and bring naga home with gem of true sight.  But gem was already in hands of the maelrawn for gem's safety he did put gem of true sight in one of his loyal servant's body. In Silthbreaker act one there is a sailor says "praise the maelrawn" why should we praise maelrawn ?   Cause he's god and creator of the seas who's looking like cthullu from H.P Lovecraft stories. So why gem is such important for a god ?
Cause seas are wild and the ones call it home wants to be safe and gem of true sight allow you to capture sea god and the seas or control it . So Maelrawn is a good guy.  Uh It's so crowded I hope You guys get all of it .

There is not much to spoke of about her.

She is goddes of woods and greens, she is the  one planted seeds of forests and greens after that she realized that her own time had reached its end, but her seeds were vulnerable without her so she swallowed the last seed and fell  it was a pain for a mother to leave her childrens indeed. From her the nature prophet the last seed burst out  with possessing power of Verodicia, he was the  last seed to take care of the rest. If you are wondering what happened to corpse of Verodicia it was the humus for the soil where her seeds grew.

Are we stepping on soils where Verodicia fell ? Well who knows ...

Omniscience the all seeing one is a rival god/religion which is worshipped at the cliffs of Emauracus, since it is the all seeing one w know that it can see things such as phantasms of chaos knight. The Omniscience claimed to have created the world itself, by forming a massive stone shell around its body to protect itself from the dangers of space.

The Omniscience is worshipped by battle monk alike crusaders  such as omniknight. Pious pilgrams to the high cliffs of Emauracus expect to receive holy visions from the Omniscience. We know that it got holy book for itself but we don't know it's name. We know that they select a purist (omniknight is chosen one right know) and belive that all seeing one's bestowed light is upon the purist. We know that they sacrifice humans for their god. Human sacrifice is practiced, by throwing victims into a pit. Slain enemies are also considered worthy sacrifices to the Omniscience. Prophecies are given out by the Omniscience itself, or by its priesthood.  Devout followers are given magical abilities that protect and purify. The Omniscience itself shields his warriors on the planet's surface, and enchants weaponry with holy properties. Again like we see in omniknight. It is said that long ago, the Omniscience blessed the first mortals, and these mortals became knights who forged enchanted armors that surpass anything made by the smiths of Emauracus today.

Clergy :
A clerical order of Hierophants oversees the Omniscience's worshipers , with an Elder Hierophant leading the flock. The names of Hierophants are sometimes inscribed on weapons. Hierophants are required to adhere to a strict set of rules:

A Hierophant of the Omniscience must always sense the power that protects him.
A Hierophant of the Omniscience must always feel the weight of responsibility upon his shoulders.
A  Hierophant of the Omniscience must always heed the words of his order.
A Hierophant of the Omniscience must always guard against any threat.
A Hierophant of the Omniscience must always approach with head bowed.

Monks are also part of the clergy, known to sew capes for their crusaders.

Omniscience is not verified god. Zeus claims that he knows Omniscience but on the other hand Monkey King claims that he never saw something such as Omniscience.

Dead God the Necromancer is the one kinda  "nihilist" guy he seeks to corrupt ever green and destroy every living being, he leads he's legion of followers. We believe that he helds a  wand cause Magina the Anti-Mage seeks to destroy Dead god and he commonly says: "who tho live by the wand shall die by my blade" 

Undead  god have he's fellow undying on the  lead of he's minions.

The reason for Anti-Mage to hate undead god is he simply destroyed  Turstarkuri where monks live. Anti-Mage was acolyte in Turstarkuri when undead god turned he's legions to there and added monks Turstarkuri to he's collection of followers. 
One of his legions betreyad him and freed their selves of of them wore searing dominator which is immortal helmet of huskar's.

Also dead god is associated with pudge arcana, how you say ?

Let me tell you a story of holy the cathedral fought aginst dead god and it's corruption their name was Cathedral of Rumusque. One of the pristess was  Crella  she sought to chain followers of dead god, but chains were corrupted by dirge the undying so they destroyed homeland of Crella killing every living being. Later on a butcher came to Cathedral he was hungry for meat and nothing were there to eat then he heard the noises of chains and  he ate the chains, yes he ate the chains. This butcher was no one but pudge of course and this is how he got he's arcana but dead god demands he's chains from pudge and he denies on giving it.

The Sisters of the Veil, also known as the Veiled Sisters or Veiled ones is a secretive organization that practices ritual assassinations.

Among the order is the revered Veiled Oracle, who speaks the names of those slated to die.

The Veiled Sisters believe that assassination is a sacred part of the natural order. To achieve this, they select children with a method of divination to be trained and brought up as Phantom Assassins. The children are raised with no identity of their own, except their devotion to the Veiled Sisters.

Victims are regarded as sacrifices, and death at the hands of a Phantom Assassin is considered an honor.

The Phantom Assassins consider themselves one within the order. When a Phantom Assassin falls, another rises to take her place. The total number of assassins eh we don't know .

The assassins of the Veiled Sisters are highly trained in the use of double-sided blades and scythes. The first skill learned by an apprentice is the art of throwing daggers, used to disable or distract a target before engaging. Assassins are taught to meditate, enhancing their abilities to anticipate incoming attacks. Through divine will, Phantom Assassins can deal decisive blows, often ending a mark's life in one stroke.The weapons of the Phantom Assassins range from long, nimble blades to heavier, curved ones. Above all, the Veiled Sisters pride themselves on weapons that can pierce anything.

The Sisters have dealings in the merchant city of Revtel, although their precise nature is unclear. These dealings have aroused rumors, heard by Donte Panlin, who warns Mortred that the city's kings would be angered once the learned of their actions.

First of all i wanna share what  I think about this; places and names were pretty similar to aztec ones so I did a little resarch and what I found was strange. Aztecs were pretty religionists people and  gave many sacrifice (there are many movies about this not gonna name any) and they don't have a blood god like Flayed Twins but they got  a god of human sacrifice which is named "Huitzilopochtli" and aztec sacrifices were pretty bloody like taking out a heart and draining it.

Well let's start then.

The Flayed Twins demand blood for living. They used to drain blood of people from Xhacatocatl Mountains. They can't be banished nor send to another dimension (so they immune to prison of Outworld Devourer?).

To prevent the depopulation of their lands, the high priests of the plateaus must satisfy the Flayed Twins' lust by sending out the likes of Strygwyr, who engages into an unending hunt for more victims to use in ceremonial sacrifices, transferring their blood to the Flayed Twins through sacred markings on his garb. It is said that, in his frenzied bloodrage, the Flayed Twins sometimes takes control of Strygwyr, projecting their own appearance into their hound. Also werewolf I guess cause bloodseeker was werewolf in dota 1 right ?

Plus there is bonehunters who are also serves flayed twin but they are simply cheap copies of bloodseeker I say.

The Flayed Twins also employ a gigantic bird of prey called Iczoxtotec, who soars the skies in search of battle, and therefore fresh victims for sacrifice. And ravens are commonly seen in sacrifical altars seeking for flesh with lust. And this is the reason why raven is sacred symbol of flayed twin.

Skywraths (birbpersons) got a god and a goddess. These are Avilliva (male birb) and Scree'auk (female birb). I cant find really much about avilliva except it being male but in the other hand Scree'auk is whom gave Shendelzare (vengeful spirit) power she needs for vengance and Dragonus (skywrath mage) power in exchange of his loyalty. As artifacts from her i think we can count Scree'auk's Talon made for lover of dragonus the Shendelzare.

Nothing much we know about this only source is are we heroes yet comic book.

Shopkeepers are the favorites of the Gods. Many have tried to steal from the shopkeepers and they all failed. All, but one: Roshan. However, Roshan didn't just steal the Aegis of Immortality from a shopkeeper, he killed the keeper as well. As such, the Gods doomed Roshan to have his treasure stolen from him repeatedly, and his life along it.

It's the lore but some says curse is named as aegis and the thing he stole was the cheese, what do you think ?

Kaldr, the Ancient Apparition considered to be one of the strongest char in lore base.
It is just a image of something far more greater out of time and space it is said to be the only being that knows the future of universe. Well come to think of it sounds like god in human understanding.
But far as i know weavers are the one that manipulates time so i dont know how exactly this guy knows future. Oh also he got crush on crystal maiden guess even being all mighty cant save you from heartache in dota universe.

Shopkeepers are whom wanders around the world and sells artifacts like reaver, sacred relic and so on. Shopkeepers are protected by gods so if you try to steal or kill a shopkeeper you are cursed forever that even doom ult looks little near it.
Everyone who plays dota actually knows someone who killed a shopkeeper and stole a cheese yes its Roshan itself. So we know Roshan actually stole a cheese and got cursed with immortality by gods so heroes would make it suffer again and again legit eternal suffering.

Maybe god Gaben is whom protects shopkeepers since it were the face of dota 2 tralier at first place. Oh and of course troll warlord hates shopkeepers aswell no suprise on that.

The Maker of Masks is a god from the Isle of Masks. It is worshipped by Juggernaut, who made pilgrimages to the Temple of Masks to perform rituals.

about their artifact : The Visage of Vengeance is an unknown entity that sank with the Isle of Masks. It may be a mask.

And About Juggernaut's origin : The Isle of Masks is Yurnero's native land, ruled by numerous lords and home to various deities. Yurnero worships at least one of these gods, making pilgrimages to Temple of Masks to pay his respects and perform rituals to the Maker of Masks. Steeped in tradition, the Isle of Masks is home to Juggernauts, who consider the ways of the sword an art of their people.

Trained in the ways of the blade, Yurnero soon became an accomplished swordmaster, and received a katana named after the legendary Akakiryu to go with this distinction. A collector of swords, he owns items of jade and stone, crafted by the Kuur-Ishiminari, and a rare blade forged by the ancient smith Sabasteen. He also possesses an inscribed sword, holding a soul sealed within, as well as a risky, unguarded blade as testament to his skills. Along with swordsmanship, Yurnero has mastered the island's healing arts, performing rituals around totems to mend wounds.

Yurnero demonstrates his prowess by facing down great beasts, claiming their bones and tusks as honored trophies. On the Ivory Isles, he slew thieves who stole its precious artifacts, and claimed a mask of Corodont ivory for himself. Even unarmed, the Juggernaut is a force to be reckoned with, and once killed a mountain wolf with his bare hands.

So Dark Moon Order is an orgasination that worship Selemene the goddess of Lunar.

Luna the moon rider used to be a street kid who somehow got close to nightsilver woods n tested by Selemene herself after passing the test she were granted lunar powers and her mount called "Nova"
Nova is a creature summoned by Lunar Moth. We dont know much about its apperance but big scaled moth i guess since it is said that they make armour out of scales and wings of lunar moth also it summons furries in forest like Nova the big kitty. Oh forgot to talk about it Dark moon order defends world from cataclysm and dark moon hordes just like in dark moon event that we played before in dota.

We also got Mirana that worships Selemene but unlike most of the worshiphers she were not from streets but princess who were heir to solar throne but instead left it and bid herself to Selemene. Maybe for that reason she is called princess of moon who knows a royalty is still royalty. Mirana also got pet kitten called "Sagan" suprising tho Mirana does not appear to be member of Dark Moon Order.

And im not certain but i assume Underlord is rival to Dark Moon Order since he wants to burn nightsilver woods.
Also maybe Balanar the Night Stalker got more to do with Selemene since he is more powerful in moon light but who knows.

They say there is one that forbids dead from leaving the maze so called Visage, the Bound Form of Necro'lic with is gargoyle gang. He is the guardian whom forbids souls from leaving narrow maze he who dislikes that take away souls from Narrow Maze (like shadow fiend or undeads).

Then there is one fierce storm contained like vessel wanders above the Narrow Maze and writes names on his book of the dead. It is none other than Razor the the Lightning Revenant. Everyone fears the sound of his whip and some like Mars calls him boring bureaucrat. But Razor dont give a damn watching all these soul from above adding names to his book of dead.


In the comic about Monkey King (LEGENDS OF THE MONKEY KING) the reason that he is immortal comes from the fact he went to Underscape where Narrow maze lies and battled against Razor to rip his name from the book of the dead.

First of all i will talk about this from the comic book named "the summoning" in case you want to read it by yourself.

So enigma calls itself dark fundamental and in comic being enigma is refeered as reaching godhood by alchemist Cedric. Also he claims that he studies over a journal written by a name goes as Jovat Kazran claimed to be current enigma by Cedric again. But Enigma says he put those journals on "secret" places to hunt bookworm alchemists like Cedric. And we see Enigma turning into eidolon so. Apperantly tho power to manupulate fabrics of time enigma got is sourced by bracer made by Cedric the alchemist. So in summary of this we do not know for sure if enigma used to be a human alchemist or always been a wandering dark fundamental also in dota universe we also see manipulation of time in ancients (dire and radiant) and in weavers who weaves the time itself so who knows maybe Cedric knew something about those to achive such artifact.
