Me | Any new findings? | |
Myxir | The builders of these ruins fascinate me! | |
Myxir | It is just too bad that their language is as dead as they are. | |
Myxir | (considering) Even their mighty rituals and summonings could not save them. | |
Me | Summonings? | |
Myxir | The builders had a strong connection to the spirit world. | |
Myxir | If I have understood correctly, they believed they were in constant contact with their ancestors. | |
Myxir | They held regular summonings and rituals to ask the spirits for advice or to gain enlightenment. | |
Me | How did these spirit summonings work? | |
Myxir | The guardians of the dead had their special formulas they used to pacify the spirits. | |
Myxir | The descriptions I could find here, however, are in part very confusing. Only rarely do I get a clear answer to my questions. | |
Me | The undead that I know never had much to say. | |
Myxir | The builders did not create soulless undead such as zombies or other evil creatures. | |
Myxir | These spirits were the souls of great warriors, priests and rulers. | |
Myxir | So far, I have no doubt that they really exist. | |
Me | If I see a spirit, I'll let you know. | |
Myxir | (laughs) Yes, I insist on it. | |
Me | Saturas sent me. | |
Me | Raven has made his way into the temple and blocked the portal from the inside. | |
Me | Saturas thinks he got his information about the temple from a ghost! | |
Myxir | (stunned) By Adanaos! | |
Myxir | He must have summoned the high priest Khardimon to ask him about a way into the temple. | |
Myxir | According to the records, his grave was in the caves under the fortress! | |
Myxir | You will have to do the same. | |
Myxir | But you cannot ask Khardimon any more... | |
Myxir | The grave of the warrior prince Quahodron is supposed to lie in the west of the valley. | |
Myxir | You will have to find it... and waken Quahodron. | |
Myxir | It is written in these inscriptions how a believer of Adanos can summon a spirit. | |
Me | Do you think that will really work? | |
Myxir | I've read a lot of crazy ramblings. | |
Myxir | For example, the writings of Y'Berion, the leader of the Brotherhood of the Sleeper. | |
Myxir | But I believe every word of the author of THESE writings. | |
Me | Why Quarhodron? Why not the high priest Khardimon? | |
Myxir | Raven has desecrated the grave of Khardimon with his summoning. We can assume that. | |
Myxir | We shall have to look for another spirit. | |
Me | The Brotherhood of the Sleeper didn't spread JUST lies. The Sleeper really existed. | |
Myxir | But it wasn't their lies that made them implausible, it was their words as such. | |
Myxir | They were more confused than believable. They showed the excessive use of the swampweed they smoked. | |
Myxir | It is the seriousness and prudence in the words on this stone tablet that convince me that THIS man wrote the truth. | |
Me | Are you really serious? | |
Myxir | I want to explore every possibility. | |
Myxir | Even if there is only a ghost of a chance for us to meet one of the builders, then we have to do it. | |
Myxir | Raven has managed to do it, after all. | |
Me | Assuming I want to summon this ghost, what do I have to do? | |
Myxir | Find Quahodron's grave in the west of the valley. | |
Myxir | His ghost can be summoned by the words of the guardians of the dead which I have written for you here. | |
Myxir | That's all. Now you just have to find the grave. | |
Myxir | Good luck, my son! | |
Me | What was that again about the warrior prince Quarhodron? | |
Myxir | You have to find his grave and summon his ghost with the words of the guardians of the dead. | |
Myxir | I have written the words down. You just have to read them aloud. | |
Me | I've talked to Quarhodron. | |
Myxir | (excited) Then you were really able to waken him from the realm of the dead? | |
Myxir | That's unbelievable. I am more and more amazed by these builders. | |
Myxir | Who knows what they could have achieved if they still existed today... | |
Myxir | What did the ghost say? | |
Me | He gave me something that will let me get into the temple of Adanos. | |
Myxir | Then go straight to Saturas. He will certainly be interested in what you have to say. | |
