Grian's Lore on HermitCraft is INSANE.

People are often surprised that Grian is so good at story telling, but they forget that he is one of the creators of Wynncraft. He is amazing at telling stories and this HC lore sounds awesome so far!

A lot of people are like “I love Grian and his videos they’re so cool” but very few people actually speak about how creative and clever he is as a content creator. The way he forms cohesion between his videos is something very few creators come close to.

9:46 this bit about mumbo sharing grians soul, keeping him from fully dying also sounds awfully similar to the concept of the new “double life” series that grian made

I would definitely like to take a chance to point directly at the end of season 8 and when Grian was looking across all the stars and pondering whether they were alternate worlds. I would also like to suggest that when grian fell, that was the grian who thought he was about to fall into the void and die in season 8, instead being brought here, somewhere else, and not dying when he fell.

Let's also remember that Grian already DID such a scenario back in season 6, when he traveled to the past to get his stuff back when it was stollen. The man is clearely capable of writting far fetched stories like that.

So that's how Mumbo is the richest hermit. Nothing's more priceless than a soul. That being said, I can't imagine Mumbo angst. I can't wait to see how this unfolds.

I've always considered Grian a very creative individual, this video executes perfectly what kind of creative man Grian truly is. There's a reason he's the most popular Hermit.

Personally, I just hope Grian's haunted mansion from season 6 somehow makes its way back with the rift. It was in season 7, where Doc and BDubs used it as their starter base. Also it was in season 8 in the ship where the Hermits were in stasis chambers. It's just a simple house, but was built/rebuilt/modified by the most Hermits in the entirety of Hermitcraft.

If you go to 36:12 on Grian’s last episode of Season 8, Scar himself asks if the blue particles of the void are “different worlds (seasons) they’ll travel to”, which is such a big hint to this lore

A part of me is honestly hoping that the rift is part of the evo watcher lore. Ever since Martyn resurfaced the grian watcher story, Im now hoping that the "rift" is just a watcher gate way that causes anomalies. Based on Martyn's last life ending, the watchers seems displeased that grian joined them in the game instead of just watching. So in turn, they opened a rift in grian's base and out of the rift came the entity(I know the entity came first, but since building take a lot of time and tell their own story, I like to think the entity came out from the rift and crawled around the server to keep a watch on grian and the other hermits[especially the ones in last life])

A lot people probably just think that all of this is a coincidence but honestly, it might actually be true because theres no way all of these things happened for no reason and grian even said himself this season that he wanted to really add more story to his builds and although this theory seem REALLY far fetched, i honestly think its possible

If Grian and Mumbo are actually starting a dark lore story that plays into both base designs I am ALL for it. Can't wait to see these two face whatever's coming.

It’s weird how Grian’s hot bar changes right before the blinding incident and the soup or blinding solution just kind of appears

My theory is that he’s going for a different execution of what they did with Season 8. I’ve seen some clips of Xisuma saying that the story-driven nature was a bit too heavy handed in Season 8 (or something along those lines), so this all might be Grian trying to incorporate a story with a little bit more balance between story-driven moments and actually SMP Minecraft

This is pretty much confirmed with the last two episodes with grumbot from a different reality coming through the rift, literally called “Grumbot Prime”

Just a bit of an update, look at what came out of the rift in recent episodes. Spoiler warning for newer episodes!! Grumbot came out of the portal, but it came from a different timeline. Back in S7 when Mumbo ran for president, he didn’t win. In the timeline this Grumbot came from, he did. So what if the rift goes to alternate timelines of previous seasons? Like you said with Mumbo? The rift brought back a version of Mumbo where he still had part of Grian’s soul, and now it’s brought back a version of Grumbot where Mumbo won the election and became the mayor!

Honestly if Grian is going for some crazy elaborate lore like this I wouldn't be complaining AT ALL. Idk if I'd like it more if each season is like alternate timelines he's hopping between or if it's more like the past lives Scar mentions meaning he's time traveling, but like the rift dragging pieces of other realities/lives into this season is a really cool theory!

Funny how in Evo, everybody's trying to update to the future updates. In this lore, its going the opposite judging by how some of the build styles are the same. This could also be the reason why every Hermitcraft season mega base seems to go backwards in time. First a futuristic base, then a mansion, then an allay, and finally a rock.

The Hermit Multiverse is all different seasons they will travel to, and some are different versions. For example, they're could be a version where HC season 2 is still going on. And if you watch Grian's latest episode of season 9, The Return, Grumbot says he is from a reality where Mumbo Became mayor in season seven. It works kind of like the MCU multiverse with infinite possibilities. The rift is just a portal through time and space to these realities. The Entity is from some version or future season of Hermit Craft. This explains how Grumbot came through the rift, from his version of season seven. Mumbo's soul collided with Grian's soul because of the multiverse and the Rift. That's what i think anyway

It's interesting watching this after the Empires/Hermitcraft crossover
