bedesInformation on the Fount of Knowledge is 110% being purposefully obscured.
In Beast Yeast 11, all mentions of Fount are avoided. His name is only brought up once — to refer to Shadow Milk as "fallen Fount". Fount doesn’t have a pre-corruption sprite like the other Beasts. We have "Strong Flour Ridge", "Garden of Delights", and "Land of the Spices", but only "Fount of Knowledge's domain." While minor characters refer to the other pre-corruption Beasts as "selfless" or "kind" or such, there is nobody who mentions Fount. We have no idea what he was like. It's almost as if he never existed.
Only one question remains: is this choice Devsis trying to keep the mystery up until the big reveal? Or is it a narrative choice? Is the big reveal about Fount, in part, that he has been forgotten or erased?
