Vestal backstory question.

[BoulleMousse753]

Is she really that religious ? I mean her CC trinkets set mention a salacious diary and whispers in her mind. Was she nymphomaniac in the past and feel bad about it, so she joined the church but "the extend of her failings" still follow her ?

[Balgin Stondraeg]

We don't know if it's her diary or one she just likes to take a naughty peek at now and then.

[What The Sigmar?]

Looking at her irrational affliction barks, it would seem that the vestal was abducted by the church, being stolen by her parents.

We could infer that she is simply a flawed product of the church, as her beliefs are not truly her own, but rather, were forced upon her by other nuns in her church-based education, thus she doesn't really know how to appropriatly channel such extreme feelings through anything but writing and telling herself that lust is sin.

This idea of religion being flawed and dogmatic is very appropriate to the lovecraftian theme that Darkest Dungeon goes for. Lovecraft was very nihilistic, believing religion to be an ineffective means of cooping with life that forced people to reject who they are.

i would assume the salacious diary is where she stowed all her suppressed thoughts and feeling

Exactly.

Salacious = (of writing, pictures, or talk) treating sexual matters in an indecent way and typically conveying undue interest in or enjoyment of the subject.

So basically, her no-no thoughts and temptations which she's not allowed to think because she's a nun.

She could be making fanfics. The 18+ kind.

"And then Reynauld leaned in from behind me and whispered into my ear: 'I only want one thing, and it is forbidden.'"

I'm sorry, not sorry.

[Applesauce]

Personally, I'm super religious but also have a salacious diary.

[OntologicalWeevil]

stripper nun.

No problem with me.

[wufwofwolfkisser]

There's possibility for immensely disturbing fanfics here.

Reynauld X Dismas
Ancestor X Fanatic
Houndmaster X Dog
