YFL SMP 2 STARTER MEMBERS LIST:

╬╬═════════════╬╬

All polish creators featured on QSMP actively took part in YFL SMP 2, not only that — they achieved the biggest view counts. All of them were also incredibly story important and we're driving forces of the server.

The server was separated into 3 guilds and a group of neutrals, living in the main city. For this lore, however, only two are really important.

YFL guild, led by Lord Multi and Hopaki, led by Lord Ewron.

These two were the directly opposite forces, spending most of the first half of the server as each others enemies/frienemies.

Each guild consisted of 8 players — 1 Lord and 7 knights. Lords were the most powerful people on the server, aside from the king CTSG and vice king Zaha (at least officially...).

Now, lets take a look at...

YFL SMP 2 + QSMP 2 CHARACTERS:

Young Multi: Lore wise referred to as Lord Multi, Lord of YFL guild. At first, he was highly loyal to the king, or at least it seemed so. He had problems managing his guild and making them cooperate, to the point one of its members betrayed them and was kicked out. During the events of the story, he gets manipulated by a powerful entity known as Grey Eminence (pl. Szara Eminencja), which uses him and manipulates his desire for power and greatness. He referes to him as his "master" and is deathly afraid of him, to the point he commits atrocious crimes in his name and even kills his friend and guild member, Zege. In return, hes granted paranormal powers (mainly ability to fly, spawn monsters and toss lightning). Guild, grief and GE's manipulation led him to start hallucinating dead members + Ewron.

Lord Ewron: Head of the Hopaki guild of assassins and second main character of the server. Him and multi openly dislike each other at the beginning of the story, but are able to cooperate when circumstances require it. Unlike impulsive Multi, Ewron is cunning and ruthless, able to manipulate other players and use them for his cause (main example in nexe's description). Despite his mastermind qualities, he cares deeply for his guild, which is loyal to him above all. In the second part of the story, he becames the main fighter against the Eminence, ruining his plans several times and, in the end, helping free Multi from his control. He's also, next to multi and diables, the biggest victim of GE's mind control and torture. He also has hallucinations of dead server members, although they seem to be more like their actual ghosts rather than visions meant to drive him crazy.

Nexe: He starts off as a neutral, later becoming very close to the king. Lore wise, he has a brother, Bladii (played by a fellow streamer with a dog skin lol), who he desires to protect above all. Him and a certain member of YFL, Natan Zgorzyk, are very close friends. Ewron decided to use this against Natan, who at a time was already feeling unwelcome in his guild over several earlier incidents. He kidnapped Nexe and kept him locked in Hopaki's castle, knowing Natan will do anything right free him. After letting multi in on half of his plan (only on the part that he wants to tests Natan's loyalty), he ensures the other Lord won't intervene on nexe's case. He blackmails Natan, who, angry and desperate, lets Hopaki into YFL's city for them to freely rob it. Nexe is freed and Natan is kicked out of his guild. Nexe however now sees Natan as a traitor and YFL as a chance to take revenge on his kidnappers. He joins the guild and fights alongside multi until the end of the server, later acting as Ewrons main support in convincing it's members that something is wrong with their Lord.

Graf: Graf is certainly an important character, but in a way that is really hard to describe. He was the cities blacksmith — the only one on the server able to craft armour. Therefore, he was a powerful ally that supplied all sides during wars. He was also an influential political force and a respected individual amongst the servers members. Also a capitalist who manipulated the stocks. Stonks.

Why does it matter?

If you've been following QSMP2, you have most likely seen the clip of Ewroon and Ash talking on a boat.

If you know what I'm talking about, and read the above carefully, you might understand where I'm going with this.

The story Ewroon tells Ash lines up with YFL SMP 2's events. He references Hopaki as containing 8 people (unlike irl Hopaki, which has 4) and calls them assassins. It's clear what he means with this, but at the same time, it doesn't really... Make sense?

Here, we have to discuss how YFL SMP 2 ended.

After Ewroon and the gang stop Multi from opening a portal to another realm and freed him from GE's control, they united under a common cause. Driven by desire to save those who died, really opened the portal together, and fought the Eminence. And they won.

All this time, Ewron was his greatest enemy. Everything he did since he realised the Eminence's danger was make sure to minimize it and destroy it's evil.

Then why does he offer his blade to Ashswagg, who he states "reminds him of the evil they defeated"?

If Ewron really sees Ash as a form of Grey Eminence, it's really an interesting direction to take. I don't know if ash is aware of the connection behind the scenes, but if he isn't, he must be hella confused.

I mean, I certainly am. And that's why I created the following:

POSSIBILITIES:

1. Ashswagg is a form of Grey Eminence and Ewron genuinely desires an allyship with him despite that. This theory has two potential ways of going, depending if QSMP is a direct continuation of YFL SMP's events or if it's an AU (which, according to our current knowledge, may be a possibility). Very flexible in what might happen.

2. Ashswagg isn't anyhow connected to Grey Eminence, but Ewron thinks he is. I don't really like this one because it not only clashes with Ewrons characters personality and motivations, but it also makes him a complete idiot.

3. Ashswagg isn't connected to GE and Ewron is simply manipulating him for his own use. Also a possibility. This version is also quite fun because it utilizes this cunningness that Ewron has. That would be the ultimate tricking scenario — Ewron using his ability to manipulate ashswagg into believing he considers him a respectful and powerful foe, all while planning to stab him from the back.

4. Lastly, my favourite. Ashswagg really is somehow related to Grey Eminence, but ewron is still tricking him to utilize his power and make sure he doesn't present a danger to anyone from Husaria. This one in my opinion has the most potential for developing Ewron's character and keeping it as close to its YFL characterization as possible.

╬╬═════════════╬╬

Of course, these are just theories. My personal interpretation of a, so far, very thinly layered lore. However, I really believe there may be something going on. The way Ewron worded things in that conversation wasn't random.

When more will be known, Ill make a sequel to this post. For now, Ill focus on writing out my personal AU, Interpreting QSMP2 as a sequel to YFL SMP 2.

Thank you for your time and I hope it made sense! For any questions or elaboration requests, please reach out through reblogs or askbox!
