Lore Discussion: Was King Luterra actually insane? (Story Spoilers)

[Gargoyle Girl]

Consider this. Underneath Luterra Castle, there is a prison for an untold amount of demons. These demons have been growing in power; a sure sign the seals holding them are either far too weak, or weakening steadily. Yet probably knowing this, the king had them all imprisoned there, where they *will* eventually escape and run wild on Luterra Castle, probably killing lots of innocent civilians in the process.

On the other hand, he requisitioned a tomb be made for him AWAY from Luterra Castle, where all his living followers dwell. On top of this, he guarded his tomb with untold numbers of his loyal followers, who all either had their souls ripped from their bodies and sealed in clay soldiers for all eternity, or were haphazardly buried along the path to his tomb and kept there as revenants and undead monsters who eventually lost all sense of self and purpose and just attack anyone who comes near.

If you think of the sheer size of that massive graveyard that leads to King Luterra's tomb, and the swarms of undead you have to beat back to get past, he must have sent hundreds of thousands of his most loyal soldiers to die there, their souls trapped for all eternity until someone strong enough to destroy them appeared (which took decades).

Does this sound like a 'good' king to you? He's doomed his castle and all it's civilians to eventually being overrun by demons who have had a long time to store up their power. He killed armies worth of his own men, then stole their souls to guard his grave. He also forced that mage to create all this horror just so he could hide where he'd been buried.

Yes, it was supposedly to hide the Ark too, but the seals scattered all over, the living guards who would have fought to protect the entrance and halls leading to the tomb, and the secrets surrounding his final resting place wouldn't have been enough? I'm not even going to speak on the fact that the demons STILL found where he was and completely infested the place... something that wouldn't have happened if it had a dedicated, LIVING group of soldiers guarding it.

Why didn't he instead create a place AWAY from Luterra Castle to store the demons, while also putting his tomb underneath the castle? Both places could have been easily manned by fully alive and loyal soldiers and priests to protect them, with the secret of the tomb being passed down within the ranks of those chosen as guards, while the priesthood could have had their own monastery near to the demonic prison where they could have devout, loyal LIVING people join and continue to keep the demons at bay.

Since magic is a very real concept in this world, a spell that prevented those chosen as guards of the tomb from speaking of it to anyone who hadn't been chosen could have been cast on all guards and anyone else involved with protecting the place, thus keeping it from slipping out somehow. And again... putting that ticking time bomb of demons under Luterra Castle seems crazy to me.

Am I the only one who thinks this whole situation is kinda twisted?

Bro people actually swipe their card to bypass the retarded lore and story in this game, literally nobody gives a ♥♥♥♥ about the story. I recommend you ignore it too, the whole thing is written by a 12 year old kid. Legit my 9 year old niece can write a better story.

Ok, so... I'm not 'people'. 'People' will pay to let other people skip the story and be max level then quit the game without even really caring or playing. 'People' are f'n stupid to waste their money. So me not being like 'people' should be seen as a good thing.

Also, if your 9 year old niece can write stories better than this one, why aren't you getting her to do so and make you the literal millions this game is pulling down? Dude, you're wasting your time commenting here. Get to work on that flawless story and make some bank.
