Misstress of the heavenly yard wrote: Snip. My initial opinion is it shouldn't. It's a bit of an independent project, like the numerous other stuff involving DoE and SDS that have come out over the years. The actor is being used as more of a stand-in for the character themselves. But my opinion can still be swayed.

In regards to the video, it doesn't add too much of what the song already told us. We get to see the watchman and the comedy routine involving him. Still no explanation on what exactly Elluka and Gumillia do to disguise themselves (as Elluka dies her hair half a century later, so it doesn't seem to be magic).

Imo, the song still indicates the kingdom the watchman hails from is Snakeland, considering they find nothing on the otherside til reaching the ocean leading right for it.

The video description just tells us. They're looking for the missing twin swords and so headed east for Snakeland. They got blocked by a huge wall during the journey.

The tags is [549] "Now, to the East." The Muzzle album says 548 is when they traveled there and 549 is when the civil war happened so 548 might be when they started and they arrived in 549 (impossible to say how few or many months it took them to get there).

mothy also gives us a bit more backstory on his blog. He also makes clarifications on the tune and backstory on twitter.
