My thoughts on Bortus - Analyzing the Lore

Today I explore the mysteries of the mysterious Bortus, the Turtle (or turtle-like) summoner that suggests a hidden and forbidden history, which makes it very interesting to learn and learn more about him.

Hoy exploro los misterios del misterioso Bortus,el invocador Tortuga (o de apariencia de tortuga) que me sugiere una historia oculta y prohibida, lo que lo hace muy interesante para aprender y conocer mas acerca de el.

Splinterlands explains to us on his page:

"Many of the Turtle people known as Tortisians are skilled in magic, but only Bortus has risen to the level of summoner in the Mount Mox Tournaments. He taunts and summons like he has something to prove to everyone who watches, and he absolutely hates the fact that his name rhymes with tortoise. Frankly, the comparison of a glorified Tortisian summoner to a common tortoise is offensive to Bortus".

A rather curious explanation if you ask me, because it clearly leaves me with a suspicion that for some unknown reason, this summoner is resentful, has some pending debt that he needs to settle and in my opinion, this is revenge, surely for a loved one. that they killed him or perhaps something that was taken from him in his life.

Splinterlands nos explica en su pagina:
"Muchas de las personas tortugas conocidas como tortisianos son hábiles en la magia, pero solo Bortus ha alcanzado el nivel de invocador en los Torneos del Monte Mox. Se burla y convoca como si tuviera algo que demostrar a todos los que miran, y odia absolutamente el hecho de que su nombre rima con tortuga. Francamente, la comparación de un invocador tortisiano glorificado con una tortuga común es ofensiva para Bortus".

Una explicación bastante curiosa si me lo preguntan, porque claramente me deja una sospecha que por alguna razón desconocida, este invocador esta resentido, tiene alguna deuda pendiente que necesita saldar y en mi opinión, esto se trata de una venganza, seguramente por algún ser querido que le mataron o quizás algo que le quitaron en su vida.

The fact that this summoner was the only one to reach summoner level in tournaments makes me think that there is something in his race, in his people, that surely does not allow easy access to tournaments. Perhaps it is a matter that has to do with the politics and organization they have in their world, in which I think it is possible that only the most prepared Tortisians are allowed to choose to be representatives of their people, it is probably about that . Or maybe it's like in many other cultures, that only people of a certain economic level or a lot of resources are allowed to have that privilege of going to the tournament. Nor do I rule out the option that the rules of the Monte Moux tournaments limit the Tortisianos for some reason that we do not know, it is something that I do not know for now, but it would be very good if they gave us some light on this.

It really calls my attention that Bortus is a bully because we are clearly informed that he mocks and summons as if he had something to prove, this for me is a clear demonstration that he has a deep desire for revenge, or to show everyone that he can do it, that he is valuable, and that he is also very good at it, which in general terms is another factor that confirms my theory that there is a hidden resentment in the history of this summoner. In addition, it is very clear that he hates the fact that his name rhymes with Turtle, which makes me think that for some reason he is not comfortable feeling like a Tortisian, perhaps he has had some traumatic experience with turtles in his past, this marked him and for He hates that his name rhymes with turtle, because it reminds them of them? Something like what happens with Batman, only in Batman's case he chose the name as a motivation for his phobia of bats. And of course comparing it to a turtle is quite offensive for these reasons.

In any case, this is something that I hope will be clarified in the future, because for someone as interested in the game's lore as I am, it is something very intriguing and important. And it is that from my point of view the lore of the game is what gives the most life and meaning to the participation of the summoners, to the battles, and what fills all of splinterlands with color. But now with the lands, which give a deep meaning to the whole game.

El hecho de que este invocador haya sido el unico en lograr alcanzar el nivel de invocador en los torneos me hace pensar que hay algo en su raza, en su gente que seguramente no permite el fácil acceso a los torneos. Tal vez sea un asunto que tenga que ver con la política y la organización que tienen en su mundo, en el que pienso es posible que solo a los tortisianos mas preparados se les permite optar por ser representantes de su pueblo, probablemente se trate de eso. O quizás sea como en muchas otras culturas, que solo a las personas de cierto nivel económico o de muchos recursos son a quienes se les permite tener ese privilegio de ir al torneo. Tampoco descarto la opción de que las propias reglas de los torneos de Monte Moux limiten por alguna razón que desconocemos a los Tortisianos, es algo que por ahora desconoczco, pero estaria muy bien que nos dieran luces sobre esto.

Llama mucho mi atención que Bortus sea un bully porque claramente se nos informa que el se burla y convoca como si tuviera algo que demostrar, esto para mi es una clara demostración de que tiene un profundo deseo de venganza, o de demostrar a todo el mundo que el si puede hacerlo, que el es valioso, y que ademas es muy bueno haciéndolo, lo cual en lineas generales es otro factor que reafirma mi teoria de que hay un resentimiento oculto en la historia de este invocador. Ademas esta clarisimo que odia el hecho de que su nombre rime con Tortuga, lo que me hace pensar que por alguna razón no esta a gusto sintiéndose un Tortisiano, tal vez haya tenido alguna experiencia traumatica con tortugas en su pasado, esto lo marco y por eso detesta que su nombre rime con tortuga, porque les recuerda a ellas?, algo así como lo que sucede con Batman, solo que en el caso de Batman el escogió el nombre como motivación de su fobia por los murciélagos. Y claro compararlo con una tortuga le resulta bastante ofensivo por estas razones.

En cualquier caso, esto es algo que espero sea aclarado en un futuro, porque para alguien tan interesado en el lore del juego como yo, resulta algo muy intrigante e importante. Y es que desde mi punto de vista el lore del juego es lo que mas vida y sentido le da a la participacion de los invocadores, a las batallas, y lo que llena de colorido a todo splinterlands. Mas ahora con las tierras, que le dan un profundo sentido a todo el juego.

Bortus is a Rare summoner from the Untamed collection that is quite cheap to use because his cost is only 3 mana points, which obviously makes him the best choice for low mana cost battles. But what is interesting about this summoner is that he subtracts 1 point of magic damage from all enemy creatures, which evidently further reaffirms my conviction that he is a character resentful of something they did to him, and that this causes his aura, his presence , intimidate the enemy causing them to lose focus and the fear they inflict cause their opponents to deal less magic damage. I also find it very useful that from level 3 he can summon 3 rare creatures, which gives him a very good utility.

Bortus es un invocador Raro de la colección de Untamed que es bastante barato de usar porque su costo es solamente de 3 puntos de mana, lo que obviamente lo hace la mejor opción para batallas de bajo costo de mana. Pero lo interesante de este invocador es que le resta 1 punto de daño mágico a todas las criaturas enemigas, lo que evidentemente reafirma mas mi convicción de que es un personaje resentido por algo que le hicieron, y que esto causa que su aura, su presencia, intimide al enemigo causando que pierda concentración y que el miedo que infringe haga que sus rivales causen menos daño mágico. Ademas me parece muy útil que a partir de nivel 3 pueda invocar 3 criaturas raras, lo cual le da una muy buena utilidad..

This is a card that is quite mysterious in my opinion, especially because of the resemblance it has with the comic of animated characters that we all know: "ninja turtles". Its appearance is extremely similar, with modifications that make it look like a cross between Splinter (who is the mystical character that guides the ninja turtles in the comic) with a magician, so for me the wink is very evident. Of course this is just speculation on my part. The card shows a close-up of Bortus, where we can appreciate his taciturn look, almost as if saying "I'm coming for you, I'm in no hurry" to his enemies. I think the detail that they have added a borneo to the sides of the elemental symbol of water, which emulates the waves of the ocean, is very nice. Also the delicate appearance like marbling and lines that I think I understand as lightning or magical energy, represented in a turquoise blue at the bottom of the card. In short, this is a summoner that seems very mysterious to me and that I would love to know more about, learn more about his history and all his lore. He is a summoner that I usually use when he has to do battles against opponents that use magic.

Esta es una carta que es bastante misteriosa a mi parecer, sobretodo por la semejanza que tiene con el comic de personajes animados que todos conocemos: "las tortugas ninjas". El aspecto que tiene es sumamente parecido, con modificaciones que lo hacen parecer un cruce entre Splinter (que es el personaje mistico que guia a las tortujas ninjas en el comic) con un mago, entonces para mi el guiño es muy evidente. Desde luego esto solo son especulaciones de mi parte. La carta nos muestra un acercamiento de Bortus, en donde podemos apreciar su mirada taciturna, casi como diciendo "Voy a por ti, no tengo prisa" a sus enemigos. Me parece muy bonito el detalle de que le hayan agregado un borneo a los lados del simbolo elemental de agua, que emulan las olas del oceano. Tambien el delicado aspecto como marmoleado y de lineas que a mi parecer entiendo como rayos o energia magica, representada de forma azul turquesa en la parte inferior de la carta. En resumen este es un invocador que me parece muy misterioso y del que me encantaria saber mas, conocer mas a fondo su historia y todo su lore. Es un invocador que uso generalmente cuando me toca librar batallas contra rivales que usan magia.
