so what I’ve got for au kingmaker lore is as follows spoilers obviously and also it probably would not match up with what DLC gives us next year although! there are some references from the current DLC

or if in the millionth chance it does, here’s proof that this came before that lmao

-kingmakers are an artificial construct, created by combining sentient(?animal is a better word) creatures with forces from the magical world(read: eldritch abomination world), as to canon Alisandra’s reference

-how or by whom the knowledge to make kingmakers is lost to history, really, because 1. the entire civilization just stopped having presence and 2. not mentioned in that particular civilization’s history

-the realm of kingmakers is honestly more like a storage unit in case they really do need a Kingsbond to stabilise them

-In the AU both Doloran and Alisandra were part of the kingmakers makers(idk whether they were working underground or they were just. part of an entire civilization)

-Lofty is not part of the whole artificial construct shenanigan, instead being Evan’s definition of a ‘magical beast blessed by great power’, by a deity that disappeared(hint: DLC), who on investigation on the disappeared deity, found the whole kingsmaking business. He left them to it for a while, but on suspicion that it might have something to do with what he was investigating, he thought might as well start looking from the inside and volunteered to become one, except he didn’t need the whole abomination-tethering business

-Except he didn’t know usually Kingmakers go into limbo during their non-summoned status and had to stick around until Evan summoned him
