Not to be confused with the name of the game, Deepwoken.
Description[]
Deepwoken is a term used to refer to individuals who have consumed pieces of Drowned Gods,[1] causing them to "wake" to the secrets of "the deep". When a person ingests a fragment of a Drowned God, they attain immortality and supernatural powers related to the entity from which the fragment comes from. As a consequence of becoming a Deepwoken, the individual undergoes physical changes, though the nature and magnitude of these transformations are unknown.
Known Deepwoken[]
There are two known Deepwoken. Owing to their immortality, both are over one thousand years old.
- Amorus Pleeksty
- Pleeksty ate a part of Korilfiend in the form of a meteor flower. He received pyrokinetic powers, leading to the invention of Flamecharm.
- The First Prophet of The Ministry
- The Drowned God from which the First Prophet consumed a piece of is currently unnamed. His powers are unknown, but he would be able to defeat Pleeksty.[2]
The Talent tree, "Deepwoken" possibly hints at the player character having the potential to become a Deepwoken. Though the primary purpose of the character is a means for users to interact with the world of Deepwoken, a few implications have been made about its true origins.
- According to the description of Erisor's Church, the player is familiar with the name "Erisor".
- The canonicity of this is unclear, as the lore related to Erisor's Church has been "de-emphasised".[3]
- The descriptions of the aforementioned Talents (except for Spell Shout) suggest that the player has a unique relationship with The Depths.
Trivia[]
- It is unknown whether or not Deepwoken is an Oath, a state of being, or simply a title; developer Ragoozer has likened it to becoming a Starkindred[1]—instead of eating a piece of a Drowned God, you eat a piece of a Celestial.
- Although Deepwokens are incredibly powerful, it is still possible for some to (temporarily) reach their level of power. For instance, Maestro Evengarde Rest is said to be on the same level as Amorus Pleeksty, if he can activate his Tempest Eye[4]
