Video Description
Where is the Realm of Shadow, exactly? The answer to this question will inform all literal and thematic interpretations of Shadow of the Erdtree. However, I seem to be in the minority on this question, so it's time to get my hands dirty and dig into the details. Topics: 00:00 - Intro 01:50 - The Very Center of the Lands Between 05:27 - The Sundered Lands 13:19 - Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe 16:21 - All Manners of Death 20:20 - The Two Trees Despite my intention to make Between Meanings into shorter videos, this one took on a life of its own. I do think the topic deserves a full episode, though, and knew I would need to show my receipts when doubling down on my apparently most controversial claim. For those who are hankering for more GUT, I am planning on just one or two more Between Meanings videos, but am already actively formulating episode four of the Grand Unified Theory. Thank you all for your support and engagement, and if this video convinces you, then do please share it with others.
