#and realising 3/4 items in that church are related to devin its just making my neurons pop like rice krispies

[wraith-caller]

fffffffffff (almost)all the items you pick up in the minor erdtree church just outside leyndell relate to devin. there is a golden centipede, a golden order seal(this is the seal he uses to cast incantations, as opposed to darian who uses the clawmark seal), and the outer order gesture received after listening to the echoes of marika, which pairs with the inner order gesture given by devin. WHAT DOES IT MEAN. then, if we wanna get really conspiracy brained, the last item is a missionary's cookbook, which says: "A record of crafting techniques left by a man who, unable to become a Finger Maiden, instead became a missionary, and went forth to spread holy teachings." If we remember from this zullie vid on unused NPCs , there was actually a female preset for one of the D twins. it has been suggested(though not commonly) that the writer of the missionary's cookbook was, in fact, Devin, hoping to be able to stay with his twin. if he *had* initially been planned to be a woman instead(given he most likely represents the silver and more 'feminine' half of the armor), she also would've likely not been permitted to be a Maiden, as the twins are Tarnished.
