General Thoughts
==============
Stars/moon/planets/"cosmos" mentioned in some notes - related to the rituals?
What is the hunt? Is it something that happens regularly? Has it been going on for a long time - an endless night?
What is "Paleblood"? "A paleblood sky" note, mentioned at the start? Scottish guy in central yharnham says to talk to the church about it.
What is "old blood" - mentioned by healing church (Amelia - seek the old blood) Is the old blood the cure? is the paleblood the curse? Or vice versa?
"Plague of beasts?" brought about by messing around with blood too much? did the church strawberry float up? Or is this an external influence - did the plague come from outside the city?
Dream world? Nightmare? Characters in dreams - seats around the world with people in them (died in them?) wearing those head restraints? Are those required for dreaming? Whose dream would it be? Whose nightmare?
Hunters dream looks like the old workshop area ("Source of the dream" achievement) - why? Who made the doll?
Spiders are important? Rom? Spider in the lecture building? Lore notes make reference to spiders (Rom??) being the one who controls or has performed the rituals?
Amygdala creatures appearing after the "blood moon" cutscene - why are they here? were they always there and are only now visible?
Blood/moon rituals - who is doing this? What for? "madmen want to beckon the mooN?" A child is needed (and must be silenced?) - Sounds of baby crying have started since cutscene when defeating Rom... Who was the woman crying - blood on her stomach? (baby being removed? killed?) "Mensis Ritual" - is this the same ritual? "must be stopped lest we become beasts"
Creatures behave differently as the "phases" of the game progress - reacting to the moon? Some have disappeared now the "red moon" is here
What are the "Great ones"? "When the great ones decend a womb will be blessed with child" - child needed for the ritual? Are the bell ringers calling the great ones to start the ritual? Note in the lecture building "Hunt the great ones" - is this the point of the hunt?
List of Bosses fought
==============
* Gascgoine - a former hunter? turns into a beast - is this what happens to everyone after time? Lived in Yharham (at least his daughter is in a house there and his wife goes to look for him, sadly
) Mentions that you'll be a beast soon too or words to that effect
* Cleric beast - monster created by the church? or a former church member? Did this one do something similar to Amelia to end up like this?
* Blood starved beast - massive beast, why was it in a church?
* Witch of hemwick - just a witch? Has the rune tool in her lair, is she part of the ritual?
* Darkbeast paarl - lightning monster. Related to the lightning weapon? (description mentions the darkbeast, in the plural - are there more than one?)
* Amygdala - one of the great ones? drops a chalice
* Shadow of Yharnam - three dudes in the woods. People killed in Yharnam? Or when Old Yharnam was burned down?
* Martyr Logarius. Old king/leader in Cainhurst? Frozen on his throne - has he been waiting for something? Why is he the only person left? Drops a crown that lets you see through illusions. (not sure if this is a one-off thing for this area of if its worth wearing it elsewhere?)
* Rom, vacuous spider
* One Reborn
Factions
=======
* Healing Church. In charge of "blood ministration" control the healing blood - can help keep people alive? Why are there weird looking statues in their cathedral? These look like the monsers in the clinic? Were the church experimenting on people? Who were the two people in the cutscene after killing Amelia - leaders of the church? Is the old guy in the rocking chair the same old guy from this flashback? Was this from "before" everything went wrong?
* Hunters? Do they work alone or for the church? or for some other faction? What is their purpose - just to kill beasts or something more specific?
* Vilebloods? Cainhurst faction. Vampires? Why do they want the blood from hunters? Were they the source of the "plague"? Dude you can talk to in the cathedral ward is not a fan (can give him invitation to go there)
* The League - bunch of hunters working together to kill beasts?
?? What are the beasts? Were they people? Over time people you can speak too start to sound like they are turning into beasts...
Location / setting
===============
What is Yharnham? What happened here. Blood infusions part of their culture (more intoxicating that alcohol apparently!) did something go wrong with the practice of infusing blood? Accidentally? On purpose?
What happened to Old Yharnham - "are we left no other choice than to burn it all to cinders?" Note about the Church abandoning people and "shutting the gates"?
Cainhurst - disconnected from Yharnam (need to take a carriage here) seems older than Yharnam (more medieval in design etc.). Seems to be full of ghosts. Is this where the "aristocracy" lived?
