255UniqueDagger6A fang of hellfire, chip of frost,
Lightning flickers, blade embossed.
With dagger clenched, into the fray!
Or draw it out, and cast away.
256UniqueRapier3Galla had an answer to everything.
257UniqueSceptre4"We Ezomytes made promises that this
Eternal God would have us break."
- Thane Rigwald
258UniqueSceptre5Beneath the blue,
The stillness permits
The drowned dead
To regret their choices.
259UniqueBow10The eldritch storm descended upon us, and bruised lightning
rained down. Metal withered and flesh melted before its
arcane power. There was no escape, no shelter. Only despair.
260UniqueFlask2Doedre Darktongue knew the Way of the Thaumaturge.
In order to receive, one must give... without hesitation.
261UniqueAmulet17"Marylene stroked the medallion at her breast
before every duel and every cast of the die."

will burn in the minds of men forever.
265UniqueTwoHandSword6x"Ice and flame antagonized in the essence of a prototype.
What once burned now chills the soul."
- Researcher Arn
266UniqueClaw7Tread lightly, lest their vigil find you.
Speak softly, lest their reason fend you.
Cut gently, lest their spirit haunt you.
267UniqueOneHandSword5"A raging Solaris seared and contorted the orb's surface.
A despairing Lunaris filled the scars with her tears.
Yet Viridi remained, trapped within, forever more."

Unbridled, overwhelming violence."

Took Chaos for his wife
And on Her immortal finger
He placed his Heart

to galvanize one's purpose in life."
- Malachai the Soulless.
272UniqueRing17The Empress gave Romira two sons
Born of his brother's seed
Romira threw her a banquet
A perfidious meal indeed.
273UniqueOneHandAxe2Born of love, forged in blood
He burned as a torch in the blackest night
She shone as ice in the winter sun
Proudly, fiercely
At their mother's side, forever.
274UniqueBelt6The sun's fury, trapped
in pillars of blazing light,
Explodes from its cage.
275UniqueBootsDex6Anticipation, preparation, exhilaration, celebration.
276UniqueRing18"From Frost's ice-bound pass
Berek taunted and jeered
Until furious Flame scaled the mountain
Berek escaped through the thaw
And Frost's tortured moans."
- Berek and the Untamed
277UniqueRing19"Berek hid from Storm's lightning wrath
In the embrace of oblivious Frost
Repelled by ice, blinded by blizzards
Storm raged in vain
While Berek slept."
- Berek and the Untamed
278UniqueRing20"With Flame licking at his heels
Berek berated the clouds
Until vengeful Storm spewed forth his rains
And Berek held on tight
As Fire screamed and steamed
And fled."
- Berek and the Untamed
279UniqueRing21"Moon after moon did Berek make fools
Of the great and Untamed Three
Until malice for a Brother
Slew the hatred of the Other
And Berek did hunt
Alone and free."
- Berek and the Untamed
280UniqueFlask3"Kaom fought and killed for his people.
Kaom bled for his people.
And so the people gave, the people bled,
So their King might go on."
- Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom
281UniqueFlask4"When the Ancestors fill your cup,
It is only good manners to drink your fill."
- Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom
282UniqueFlask4x"An intriguing paradox."
283UniqueHelmetDexInt3"It is the Gull that delivers Man unto Ancestor.
The consumer of our flesh. The seeder of our
souls unto the earth. We give the Gull his life.
The Gull gives us our Way."
- Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom
284UniqueBelt7"A man's soul rules from a cavern of bone, learns and
judges through flesh-born windows. The heart is meat.
The head is where the Man is."
- Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom
285UniqueBelt7x"A type Delta test subject escaped with Prototype #18. He was last seen
ten times the height of a man and crashing straight through walls."
286UniqueBelt8"She begged the Earth to spare her Son;
Out of love the Earth agreed.
To the other Elements she did not speak
And out of spite They plotted."
- Berek and the Untamed
287UniqueBodyDexInt2When the throat roars,
As eyes weep,
When the hand grips hard
With trembling fingers,
When belly twists
Yet legs stand strong,
That is the work
Of the Defiant Heart.

299UniqueWand4From the smallest seeds
To the tallest redwoods,
Life endures in Wraeclast.
300UniqueSceptre6My Iron heart will beat when yours is rust.
I take your Strength, your power, your lust.
By Iron Will alone I set my mind in motion.
Through endless storms of fervent devotion.
301UniqueGlovesDemigods1Though the battle has been long,
Victory is at hand.
302UniqueBootsStrDex4The cursed ghosts march forever,
On their hopeless last endeavour.
303UniqueMap13So the raiders danced,
leading their foe ever west,
towards certain death.
304UniqueMap14A cool map, for a cool guy.
305UniqueBodyStr4Give me neither havens nor solace;
They are for the weak and frightened.
Instead, light the path to greatness,
So that I may begin my bright pursuit.
306UniqueShieldDex4An eye for an eye. A curse for a curse.
307UniqueShieldInt3The last thing Arimagius heard was the
jester's mocking bells in the distance.
308UniqueShieldStrDex2Doomed to plunder forever.
309UniqueShieldStrInt7What is below is like what is above,
and what is above is like what is below,
to accomplish the miracles of one thing.
310UniqueGlovesDex3The fury of the forge determines
the ferocity of the metal.
311UniqueDagger7Unnatural Origins, unnatural benefits, unnatural cost.
312UniqueOneHandAxe3The eagle knows nothing
but the scream and the strike.
313UniqueOneHandAxe4Kill us with kindness, cut us with care.
314UniqueOneHandMace2Old Bartek still stands, but is courteously
bowing to the might of time.
315UniqueWand5And the thunder rumbled on and on.
316UniqueStaff4You've no reason for fear when you're a root in a fen
- Old Ezomyte saying.
317UniqueStaff4x"Attempt #306: The power I can sense in this ancient branch
still eludes me. Perhaps if I attach some string and a hook..."
318UniqueDagger8Calling it poison would imply
that it was even edible.
319UniqueHelmetStrInt4The seeds of greatness are planted in darkness,
Watered by suffering,
Tended by desperation,
And bloom steel flowers of victory.
320UniqueHelmetStrInt4x"Prototype #722 might look like a helmet, but I believe it to be something else
entirely. The visions it shows the wearer... are beyond mortal endurance..."
321UniqueFishingRod1Give a man a fish, and you can feed him for a day.
But give a fish a man, and you can feed it for a month.
322UniqueHelmetDexInt4"The ice seared his naked feet
As the lightning stilled his heart,
But it was the flames upon his lover's face
That roused him to vengeance."
- From 'The Three Dragons' by Victario of Sarn
323UniqueGlovesStrInt1Captivity breeds creativity.
324UniqueOneHandMace3Look the storm in the eye and you will have its respect.
325UniqueStaff5The whispers of the dead
Carry wisdom for the living,
If you are willing to give your life
To listen.
326UniqueGlovesDexInt5"As the serpent shuns thought,
It shuns fear.
It strikes with the speed of wrath
And the skill of compulsion."
- Deshret, The Red Sekhema
327UniqueBootsStrInt2Alberon walked among the accursed,
and they welcomed him.
328UniqueBootsStrInt2x"Starving test subject became completely incapable of exerting force.
However, after being fed, he began to poison everything he touched..."
329UniqueHelmetStrDex5All that was left of the Iron King was his bleached skull.
Yet it was all the Iron King needed.
330UniqueRing23The darker the eye, the more diligent the watched.
331UniqueRing23x"So close, yet frustratingly distinct. Something more is going on here..."
332UniqueGlovesStrDex4"The gems are strangely human at times.
They simply love to be held."
- Doryani, First Seer to the Queen
333UniqueQuiver3"Why waste such a fine arrow on just one man?"
- Kiravi, Vaal Archer
334UniqueQuiver4"It's a rare man that has eyes in the back of his head."
- Kiravi, Vaal Archer

342UniqueHelmetDexInt5"A queen should be seen, admired, but never touched."
- Atziri, Queen of the Vaal
343UniqueTwoHandAxe7"I do not believe in disguising my disappointment."
- Atziri, Queen of the Vaal
344UniqueBodyInt9Reap what others have sown
Muster them from their graves
Parade them for your pleasure
Zealots in mortis enslaved

346AtziriFragment1_2Only those who aspire can dare to hope.
347AtziriFragment1_3The light without pales in comparison to the light within.
348AtziriFragment1_4The Vaal shall never fear the setting of our sun.
349AtziriFragment2_1We are but dogs, howling at an uncaring moon.
350AtziriFragment2_2Look to our Queen, for she will lead us from the darkness.
351AtziriFragment2_3It is only the blind who can live in darkness.
352AtziriFragment2_4When we prostrate ourselves to the night, we worship mortality.
353ProphecyFragment1Mouth of the Masses, whose greatness spreads by our breath and touch,
who feeds the starving with the starved, the strong with the weak.
354ProphecyFragment2Lord of the Wild, of the feral and frenzied,
of the uncivilized, the untamed, the untouched.
355ProphecyFragment3The Infinite Mind, unbound by the tethers of sanity,
whose thirst for knowledge is all-consuming,
whose every word stands our hair on end.
356ProphecyFragment4_She of Many Bodies, whose very flesh unites all,
whose dark whispers draw forth our souls, unfettered.
357ShaperFragment1Enter the crucible. The nexus of
nothingness and equilibrium of eternity.

nothingness and equilibrium of eternity.
359ShaperFragment3Enter the crucible. The nexus of

360ShaperFragment4Enter the crucible. The nexus of
nothingness and equilibrium of eternity.
361ElderFragment1Freedom is won, not given.
362ElderFragment2Plagues are exhausted, not cured.
363ElderFragment3Webs are torn, not untangled.
364ElderFragment4Corruption is purged, not cleansed.
365UberElderFragment1Beauty is in the eye of the creator.
366UberElderFragment2Understanding leads to mastery.
367UberElderFragment3Fear drives survival.
368UberElderFragment4What is not cannot cause harm.
369SirusFragment1He sought to be the best,
but lost his family.
370SirusFragment2He sought God,
but lost himself.
371SirusFragment3He sought a kingdom,
but lost his people.
372SirusFragment4She sought to bring salvation,
but lost her compassion.
373UniqueSceptre7The result of the catalytic reaction would be either immortality for all,
or death for all. It was a risk Doryani was willing to take.
374UniqueWand6"Stone still, amidst the reeds,
breath fogging in the iron cold air.
he sits, he waits, he watches.
A piscatorial vigil, sat by the river,
his cathedral, his patience his unanswered prayer."
- Jojoba Mansell, bard, angler, adventurer
375UniqueBeltDemigods1The bindings of the victorious
wrap around the throats of the defeated.
376UniqueQuiver5Mist of breath
Icing to lips and throat
As the warm ones choke and fall
Upon the frozen wasteland.
377UniqueBodyStrInt5Only light may banish the shadows from this land
And the black lies wrapped around your heart
378UniqueQuiver6A Karui woman's place was not the
battlefield, but the hearth.
Hyrri changed all of that.
379UniqueBow11"Toasted or frozen
Or twitching in the light
I'm not fussy
And neither is Death."
- Koralus Doomfletch
380UniqueOneHandSword6"Hyaon the 'Red Wolf'
Howling mad
Cloaked in blood
A banner to his legion
A terror to his foes."
- Garivaldi, Chronicler to the Empire
381UniqueBootsStr2Don't flinch. It's a waste of good hitting time.
382UniqueChest1"Political power is an illusion.
Popular power is fickle.
Financial power is real and loyal."
- Cadiro Perandus, Lord of the Coin
383UniqueChest2"Treasure that which the Ancestors have gifted you.
For it can be gone between one breath and the next."
- Lavianga, Advisor to Kaom
384UniqueChest3"A fool steps into the unknown.
An explorer finds his way back again."
- Malachai, Thaumaturge Laureate
385UniqueOneHandSword7Maligaro was transformed by Raulo's love.
Thaumaturgy allowed Maligaro to return the favour.
386UniqueQuiver7In this chaotic world
The rewards of the Soul
Outlast the rewards of the Flesh.
387UniqueQuiver7x"The theft of another's vitality is short-lived, but sweet.
It calls to me, bidding me abandon all other pursuits."
- Researcher Arn
388UniqueFlask6Your reach exceeds your grasp.

So goes the descent.
390UniqueDescentClaw1Into darkness, horror, madness...
So goes the descent.
391UniqueStaff7The right to rule demands mental acuity,
a strong arm,
And a tenacious sense of justice.
392QuestKaomGem"Fear becomes Hatred.
Hatred becomes Fury.
Thus is Man transformed
from Martyr to Maker."
- Malachai
393QuestDaressoGem"It is a cruel joke that
Man was born with more
Intent than Life."
- Malachai
394UniqueMap15We all began life in darkness, we shall all end it there.
395UniqueShieldDexInt1One wrong step triggers destruction.
Agony slowly dominates the will to live.
396UniqueShieldDex5Crimson burn'd the star of sadness,
All was woe that seem'd but gladness.
397UniqueOneHandSword8Being lost is a trick of the mind.
A man always has two directions available to him.
Forward and through.
398UniqueRing24Fire makes the perfect blossom in the endless night.
399UniqueDagger9Nothing is pure.
Slice open the Innocent
And spill a thousand Sins.
400UniqueFlask7"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.
Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
-Rumi of the Vaal
401UniqueFlask7x"The most terrifying split second of my life."
- Researcher Graven
402UniqueOneHandSword9She dances a dance beneath the shade,
The twilight shroud her only blade,
Who now hears her feathersteps flowing?
Beneath the stars, the moondrops glowing.
403UniqueOneHandSword9x"Once we armoured the test subject heavily enough to test Prototype #502, he proceeded
to fight his way out. I don't know what we expected."
- Researcher Graven
404UniqueBootsStrInt3Become one with the unstoppable flame.
405UniqueBootsDex8It takes a clear mind to outrun a storm.
406UniqueBodyStrDex4"The Consort of Chaos descended,
swiftly, brutally, artfully, she consumed the living,
leaving naught behind but a Rosemarie bloom,
to celebrate the massacre."
- Blass, explorer, hunter, adventurer
407UniqueWand7Apep's poison entraps, encircles,
and engulfs the leaking mind of Man.
408UniqueOneHandAxe5"More blood... hack open flesh... must drink..."
409UniqueGlovesStrInt2What is freedom but a clean slate
in an unclean world?
410UniqueGlovesStrDex5What is greed but trading a mountain of death
for a sliver of life?
411UniqueGlovesDexInt6What is fear but a snuffed torch
and death in the wind?
412UniqueTwoHandAxe8Let it grow and gather inside them,
Let it flow through their veins.
Don't waste a drop.
413UniqueTwoHandAxe8x"Why is Prototype #67 never in the vault it should be?
Either we're keeping faulty logs, or..."
- Researcher Graven
414UniqueTwoHandSword7Soon, the pleas for mercy were muted.
Only one voice remained.
Laughing.
415UniqueSceptre8Feed on the light of the living,
Bring darkness to all I see,
Until we are one in shadow.
416UniqueQuiver8Hit them hard. Hit them once.
417UniqueMap16The grandest and greatest ever to fight,
Divine the champions stand tall.
But match their power, best their might,
And even the immortal may fall.
418UniqueRing25When the wind blows,
Know which way to bend
and watch the others break.
419UniqueRing25x"As much as Prototype #20 hints at some deep alternate physics, we cannot afford
to expend any more test subjects. Experiments halted."
- Administrator Qotra
420UniqueShieldInt4Open your eyes and you will see the cracks in your enemy's walls.
Open your mind and you will see the cracks in your enemy's plans.
421UniqueTwoHandSword8So the seed of hate was born,
Evil forged and Hope forsworn.
422UniqueShieldDex6The horrors we've encountered are nothing
compared to the horrors we haven't.
423UniqueChestMap9The objects Oba valued more than his life,
sealed from the corruption that ultimately took it.
424UniqueRingDemigods1The victor stands tall with hand held high,
unwavering, unblinking, unstoppable.
425UniqueStaff8One for each corner of the great Vinktar Square.
426UniqueAmuletVictor1A glimpse of victory
is all you need to win.
427UniqueStaff9Touch not the thorn, for only blood and pain await.
428UniqueStaff9x"Physical forces and flames seem to share some innate bond.
What logic lies beneath the veil of reality?"
429UniqueBelt10Nothing is as vivid as the rage of battle
430UniqueBelt10x"A legion of forty soldiers attempted to break into Outpost Five and
steal Prototype #659. What do they know that we do not?"
431UniqueBelt11At knifepoint, a moment's hesitation means death.
432UniqueBelt11x"I cannot fathom the mysteries of Prototype #16. It did nearly nothing until I
brought it to [RESTRICTED]. It makes no sense!"
- Researcher Graven
433UniqueRing26Hear no evil.
434UniqueWand8If it's worth doing once, it's worth doing twice.
435UniqueAmulet18Gentle anger, raging calm.
436UniqueShieldDexInt2"Look around you. What do you see?
Corruption, perversion, sin?
No. It is progress.
You simply lack the means to see it."
- Inquisitor Maligaro
437UniqueBelt12"Our genius will pave the way forward.
May all who are worthy be improved!"
- Inquisitor Maligaro
438UniqueHelmetStrInt5Every rule has an exception.
439UniqueQuiver9Fear not the dark, the song of night,
Hear not the arch, the falling cry.
My giving sun, fight no more,
Rest alone, my grand nightfall.
440UniqueGlovesStrDex6Your lies are our strength.
Your threats are our laughter.
Your hate is our infinity
The fire rises!
441UniqueBelt13In battle, virtue matters not.
Only victory.
442UniqueRing27"To us mere mortals, time is slippery.
I'm just evening things out."
- Doryani, Queen's Thaumaturgist
443UniqueRing28Rage is a big part of courage.
444UniqueBow12The hunt continues when the prey falls.
445UniqueAmulet19Fate's smile, man's ruin.
446UniqueRing29A gift from Valako,
appointing Kiloava as the Herald of War.
A title Kaom claimed when he ended Kiloava's bloodline.
447UniqueRing30A gift from Tasalio, God of Water,
to the chieftain Rakiata.
Kaom took Rakiata's head and hand
so that his warriors' axes might rise and fall like the waves.
448UniqueRing30x"Likely our closest to the original, yet Prototype #22 still falls short.
Are these objects actually somehow resisting our efforts?"
449UniqueRing31A gift from Ngamahu,
a sign to the Karui to spread like fire.
Given to Akoya, but inherited by Kaom with the swing of his axe.
450UniqueBodyStrDex5The truth lies inside every man, if you dig around.
Many a confession was found in the bowels of Axiom.
451UniqueHelmetInt8"The sharper the pain, the sharper the mind.
A curious paradox."
- Shavronne of Umbra
452UniqueSceptre9"A sprinkle of liquid encouragement is often required
to garnish the perfect confession."
- Brutus, Warden of Axiom
453UniqueFlask8A sip will freeze your lips,
A swig will chill your heart,
A glass will still your soul.
454UniqueBodyStr5Some would question if the risk was worth it.
The rest were already dead.
455UniqueAmulet20As you have lived, so you shall die
forever trying to keep up with me.
Your blood on these hands of mine
forever makes me the public enemy.
456UniqueHelmetInt9A scar of the flesh you'll never forget,
A scar of the mind you'll never remember.
457UniqueHelmetStrDex6The beasts we fear the most
are the ones who dwell in total darkness.
458UniqueGlovesStrInt3Far south, the winter crawls under the skin.
Below the snow, adrift wanderers sleep.
459UniqueChestGrandmaster1The champions rest now, free from pain,
Their souls ascend to the sun.
Some parting gifts are all that remain,
Their eternal vigil is done.
460UniqueRing32In a blaze of glory,
An anomaly defying all odds
The "unkillable" beast met the divine
And Ventor met his latest trophy.
461UniqueRing33When the axe finally fell, Seryl shared his pain,
and the last thought that flickered through his
fading mind was her broken, shattered scream.
462UniqueBelt14With her cold resolve
And burning sacrifice
The Eternal twins arose.
463UniqueStaff10That which was broken may yet break.
464UniqueChestBarrel1Just an ordinary barrel, used to store sensible objects.
Not swarms of things.
465UniqueBodyDexInt4"Every life is a story.
If you're not writing your own,
you'd better know who's writing it for you!"
- Victario, the People's Poet
466UniqueDagger10The brightest flames cast the darkest shadows.
467UniqueAmulet21The first light to grow in the primordial darkness.
468UniqueStaff11The best way to gain the element of surprise,
is to let your enemy learn your plans,
and execute them - twice.
469UniqueOneHandAxe6Relentless fury
Sunder my every foe
Fuel my boiling blood
470UniqueOneHandMace4"You'll have my riches when you pry them
from my cold, dead hands!"
"That's how I prefer it."
471UniqueGlovesStr4Doryani's ingenuity raised the Vaal Empire
to unprecedented heights. His curiosity
reduced it to ruins and bones.
472UniqueOneHandMace5To neither ebb nor flow,
but weather the rising tide,
outlast, unshifting and unshifted,
until the waters recede and we stand together.
473UniqueSceptre10"All are welcome in Hinekora's eternal home."
- Karui Proverb
474UniqueOneHandSword10As a maiden I was bound; as a crone was I scorned
Promised power rarely found, delivered fury fairly thorned.
Not enough?...Fine. Now I am become both and another
To take your hand and cradle your talents, not smother
The consummate flames. So hush, dear, say not a word.
Bequeathed, betrayed...beloved. At last, I am the third.
475UniqueOneHandSword11Master yourself before you seek to master others.
476UniqueGlovesStr5"I like my vassals at sword point,
but my enemies as close as the hilt."
- Emperor Chitus
477UniqueBodyDexInt3Use the dead to stave off death,
An armour of bones and rot.
Hanging on with bated breath,
One lapse and all for naught.
478UniqueBodyDexInt3x"Further research must be done on Prototype #282.
There is power here, if it can be tapped."
479UniqueFlask9A sprinkle of hunger, a spoonful of menace
and three generous cups of Might.
480UniqueClaw8To the Maraketh, death is as intimate as love.
481UniqueStaff12Guard your darkest thoughts well, for they are
the cracks through which the Nightmare crawls.
482UniqueAmulet22A shimmering symbol of Purity, clear as water,
but I know better than most how quickly
Purity can succumb to Corruption.
How quickly water turns to blood.
- Victario, the People's Poet
483UniqueAmulet23In my dream, a voice spoke to me. It said:
'My reach knows no bounds.
All that is pure is destined to rot.
All that lives is destined to serve.'
- Doryani, Queen's Thaumaturgist
484UniqueBodyStr6"The Virtue Gems are a gift from the land,
our land, and we will not let our gifts
be destroyed by savages."
- Marceus Lioneye
485UniqueGlovesStrInt4"I ask not for understanding,
only for forgiveness
for what I am about to do.
There will be blood on these shackles yet."
- Anonymous carving, Axiom Prison.
486UniqueWand9Life persisted,
hardened, twisted.
487UniqueWand9x"Energy redirected is energy imbalanced.
Prototype #78 serves as a prime example."
488UniqueTwoHandAxe9A King and his people are linked together
like a soul and a beating heart.
Both can be severed by a same edge,

757UniqueJewel67A mage from the coast rode up on a broken nag, legs burnt to his bones.
Before he collapsed, he uttered:
"I watched the world we know end yesterday."
758UniqueJewel68Chitus began to aggressively expand his empire

But for absolute power, there is no price

788UniqueTalisman2Long ago, the ocean was a puddle where a golden fish dwelt,
who lit the ocean from within and kept the water fresh.
When the sky burned, the fish dived deep,
never to return, and the waters turned sour.
789UniqueTalisman3Just as the rat cowers before the dog
and the dog cowers before Man,
so too should we cower before the First Ones
and pray we never learn of what comes next.
790UniqueTalisman4I once thought the First Ones were just
stories made to scare children.
But I've seen what they can do. I've felt it.
And now I must live with that terrible knowledge.

It acts through me. Speaks through me.

Dismissed the first ones as ignorant and wild.

956OfferingToTheGoddessIt is time for the Goddess to give her final verdict.
Your fate rests in her even hands.
957UniqueAmulet32Many things come to one who has nothing.
958UniqueQuiver12If two great leaders like Lioneye and Kaom
had been on the same side of the battle,
nothing would remain unconquered.
959UniqueAmulet33Each death witnessed is a valuable lesson,
and what use is knowledge if it is not put into practice?

969FatedUnique3There is no wall thicker or stronger than fear.
970FatedUnique4The Karui boats were closing the gap,
but Shavronne had laid for them one final trap.
971FatedUnique5The overture stretches thin,
The chorus gathers to begin.
Stacatto, drone, a rest drawn long,
Another hears Death's final song.
972FatedUnique6Nothing spreads fear faster than the unknown.
973FatedUnique7The largest rock leaves the deepest mark.
974FatedUnique8Fire spreads thick and fast.

1133UniqueJewel91Malachai ran roughshod over every ethical boundary in pursuit of creating the ideal gemling.
For him, there was no doubt that the end would justify the means.
1134UniqueJewel92After years of subterfuge, sabotage, and sacrifice,
Sarn had become a powder keg just waiting to explode.
Finally, Victario lit the match.
1135UniqueJewel93Even as the tide turned, and victory swiftly became impossible,
the legionnaires of Lioneye's Watch stood their ground and fought on,
every last man dying a brutal, but honourable death.
1136UniqueJewel94Cadiro watched young Chitus play in the frostbitten grass, care-free, happy,
and unburdened by the responsibility the Perandus scion would soon endure.
1137UniqueJewel95As Malachai stepped into the Highgate mines,
cold winds billowed from the mountain above.
One final, feeble attempt to save what was meant to be eternal.
1138UniqueJewel96News of Kaom's victory in the south spread quickly.
Those in support of the coming rebellion bided their time.
The rest fled like rats from a fire.
1139UniqueJewel97The winter that followed the Cataclysm was especially harsh.
Wraeclast's few survivors fought to the death for the last scraps of bread.
1140UniqueJewel98Emperor Chitus could offer you a gift with one hand,
and drive a blade into your back with the other.
His blend of brutality and charisma cultured a potent
mixture of fear and admiration among the masses.
1141UniqueJewel99The Maraketh knew that a mountain path
free of vegetation was cut by regular avalanches,
and so the advancing Eternals were unwittingly drawn into a deathtrap.
1142UniqueJewel100At night, as a young Daresso shared his bed with a woman whose name he could not recall,
his thoughts remained in the one place he called his own: The Grand Arena.
1143UniqueJewel101The infamous Weylam Roth was never afraid
to push the boundaries of Templar authority,
and was never deterred when the Templar pushed back.
1144UniqueJewel102Izaro gave rise to Chitus.
Chitus gave rise to Voll.
None could know how it would end.
None could stop it.
1145UniqueJewel103Exposure led to the deaths of many slaves.
And it was the duty of slaves to bury the dead in the frozen ground.
A growing circle of misery and death
that the elite were all too happy to sustain.
1146UniqueJewel104The Cataclysm was but the first act in a play of horrors.
The dead lingered, and the living began to rot.
1147UniqueJewel105"Rage, malice, hunger - some traits are more easily carried across the barrier of death."
- Kadavrus, Surgeon to the Umbra
1148UniqueJewel106Of the elements at the thaumaturgist's disposal, lightning remained the least understood.
The simple passage of energy from one to another could result in profound power, or rapid death.
1149UniqueJewel107Sarn's crematorium, built amidst the city's slums,
coated the nearby shanties in a film of ash.
The dwellers grew ill, sputtering and coughing,
and in this way the crematorium guaranteed it would have many customers.
1150UniqueJewel108The Eternal Empire gave few freedoms to the Ezomytes, but fostered their talents as archers.

1158UniqueBodyDexInt6Don't hesitate; bring death to all, conclusively and swiftly,
or they will give you the same treatment.
1159UniqueSceptre17After the fires swept down from the sky and swallowed the city,
all that lingered, as if locked in time,
was a memory of that which was gone, a whisper of deeds undone.
1160UniqueTwoHandAxe15A sharp and heavy beat,
discorded, out of tune,
when you hear it on the wind,
you know death will follow soon.
1161UniqueBodyInt12Whiff of cold, tiny spark, faintest flicker in the dark.
Embers swirl, ice takes form, sky exposed - Death's perfect storm.
Frost and thunder, flames shine bright, ruin walks the land tonight.
By your hand they dance and bend, wield them and brook no end.

1172UniqueGlovesStrInt6x"Prototype #73 is a near perfect opposite of the original. Perhaps our failures

1173UniqueHelmetInt12The impediments of flesh are weak.
The air we breathe knows no such boundaries.
I exhale, and you inhale,
and inexorably we inch towards oneness.
1174UniqueBodyDex12Feed a beast and it will not hunt.
Protect it and it will not fight.
Ferocity must be learned, not taught.
It is suffering that forges the greatest warriors.
1175UniqueBodyInt16He took me by my hand, promised me power beyond compare.
But I did not do it for power.
I did it for love.

1495DivineVesselBrineKing1Though his mind decayed with each passing wave,
the Brine King stood steadfast in his hatred,
and wore it like a shell, protecting himself
from his failure to sire a worthy heir.
1496DivineVesselBrineKing2The fish-wives of Tsoatha rejoiced loudly as
the Brine King descended into the great abyss,
making merry while his blasphemous offspring
slithered 'neath the icy waters...
1497DivineVesselBrineKing3Slumbering in the breach between worlds,
the Brine King dreamt of a day he would rise,
in triumph from the shivering depths and take
back the Kingdom he once so ruthlessly culled.
1498DivineVesselArakaali1There is a story held by the ancient Vaal, in which the
beautiful seductress Arakaali strode through towns, stealing
the hearts of men, and turning to ash their lovers' desires.
- "Legends of the Vaal" by Eramir, Scholar at Theopolis
1499DivineVesselArakaali2When the cold was at its strongest, Arakaali came,
and like a farmer leading cattle to the slaughter,
she drove her victims into the outer darkness.
- "Legends of the Vaal" by Eramir, Scholar at Theopolis
1500DivineVesselArakaali3Records of Arakaali's violent reign suggest she kept her citizens
sedated with 'juices of lust' and venoms of the spider. Perhaps her
guise of seductress was in fact her way of farming those 'juices'.
- "Legends of the Vaal" by Eramir, Scholar at Theopolis
1501DivineVesselSolaris1The mud is cracked and dry. The fields now burn beneath the blistering sun.
Even our children are dying in the streets! We've angered Solaris and so
we pay tribute to appease her fiery heart...
1502DivineVesselSolaris2When Solaris is angered, there must always be sacrifice. Our women
have taken to mourning, they drag themselves through ash and glass,
not wanting to give up our youth to the all-consuming flame.
1503DivineVesselSolaris3To take from the sun is to invite her wrath, and we've more than warranted her curse.
The granaries were vacant, so we lessened our tribute to the sun thinking it would
save our children, but they will die now regardless.
1504DivineVesselLunaris1Once beneath a moonlit sky, Lunaris bathed her child in the ocean's tide.
Though the waters were frigid with icy death, the boy was sick and
couldn't be healthy until he was silent, clean and still...
1505DivineVesselLunaris2And so it was, that Lunaris, in her compulsion to nurture and protect,
killed her son beneath the light of a waning moon. She stood silent, in
trial before her tribe, as her fiery sister fought in vain to defend her...
1506DivineVesselLunaris3But Lunaris refused to admit any wrongdoing. She'd saved her child, had she not?
He was safe now, buried beneath the dirt. Conviction gnarled around her fragile mind,
and in her pride she rose to seat a deathless throne.
1507DivineVesselAbberathWhen the demon Goat plays his flute,
And cloven hooves clip-clop your path,
Pray the gods will hold you mute,
And bless the fire on your hearth.
1508DivineVesselGruthkulThe earth shakes, moon eclipses black.
Graveyards quake, crops turn to ash,
as the grieving mother weeps.
Oceans boil and wind ravages home.
We feel famine inside our bones,
as the grieving mother, Gruthkul weeps.
1509DivineVesselYugulIn nature, there are many feelings exclusive only to man. But terror is not one.
Terror flourishes in our world, transcending all things. It is the bedrock on
which our great cosmos is formed. I am Yugul and I deign to understand this
mystery, to explore its depths and unlock its secrets...
1510DivineVesselShakari"So it's true." Shakari thought, as she took her final breath.
"My father, Sin, wishes me dead. And he has sent his rabid dog to do it..."
1511DivineVesselTukohamaTukohama stood in the door, blocking the sunlight
from Hikatomanga and his family. The Father of War's
retribution was inevitable, for it is known - man
cannot cheat the gods without consequence...

"Let those of Ralakesh take care of those of Ralakesh!"
- The God Behind The Wall
1513DivineVesselGarukhanGarukhan wished once more for the skies. If she were to die,
she wanted it to be up there in the clouds. This world had never
been her home. She required greater things. She required adventure.
But die she would, here in the dirt...
1514DivineVesselRyslathaRyslatha was flushed with pride as she watched her mindless spawn
mature. Sharpening their mandibles, her children slithered from the hive,
eager to devour all the creatures that frequented the ancient woods.

1549UniqueGlovesDexInt9Reaching nature's limits,
many sought power in the unnatural.

Their last thoughts were untethered from reality,

1552UniqueWand19All at once, a calmness would encompass them,
and all at once, it would be torn away,
unveiling forms no sound mind could grasp.
1553UniqueHelmetDexInt9Men always fell for her honeyed eyes,
and broke when they hit the ground.
1554UniqueShieldStr12Lunaris crossed silently, shining and full,
Softly night left her, alone and forlorn.

Yet the fates of others dragged in their wake.

1560UniqueOneHandSword26"Your name is Demon Slayer? Really? Good name for rotgut, that."
She said: I prefer "The Goddess Of Swords". Much more dignified. And accurate.
"Demon Slayer The Cheap And Nasty it is then. Burns going down, burns coming up?"
She said: Every single time, Charan. And still...you'll bathe me, and you'll drink my love. Until you can't.
1561ShaperMemoryFragment1_1"...A golden machine was found broken in the ruins of Wraeclast.
Believing it to contain some dark infernal secret,
High Templar Venarius asked that I restore it
and weaponize whatever powers it might contain..."
1562ShaperMemoryFragment2_1"...Though the device seemed to be mostly functioning,
something important appeared to be missing...
...I worked tirelessly in search of answers, until finally,
at the base of that cruel device, I fell into a deep, deep sleep..."
1563ShaperMemoryFragment3_1"...I awoke in the most beautiful of places, and as I wandered this strange new land,
I felt a growing sense of realization that I was not alone.
A Shade, a whisper of embodied smoke, spoke to me through thoughts and pictures.
I found myself enthusiastically volunteering information in detail of Oriath..."
1564ShaperMemoryFragment4_1"...The Shade knew of the device - a doorway between my world
and the dreamlands. It offered to help me rebuild the missing part,
to create a conduit between this beautiful land and Oriath.
All that the Shade asked of me was to return the favour..."
1565ShaperMemoryFragment5_1"...Every night, I found myself asleep at the foot of the strange device,
awoken to the reality of another world within my own.
The Shade taught me how to shape and build things from my imagination,
how to transport such phantasmagorical treasures back into the world of man..."
1566ShaperMemoryFragment6_1"...The missing part of the great device had finally been formed.
The Shade requested its one favour. I was shown images of the past,
the Shade as King of the dreamlands, the hateful Watchers of Decay...
It led me deep into a cave, to a statue pierced by a sword..."
1567ShaperMemoryFragment7_1"Pull the blade from my chest. Free me!" the Shade imposed.
But doubt entered my mind, and the Shade flew into a fury!
I felt my mind torn asunder as images of murder and mutilation were forced upon me.
I fled in a panic, cursing myself for ever trusting such a strange creature so blindly..."
1568ShaperMemoryFragment8_1"...Months have now passed since the Shade revealed its true nature.
Each morning, I lock myself inside my study, searching for some knowledge
that might save us. I have found at last, some information on the Watchers of Decay.
The truth is so unutterable that I hesitate, even now, to write it down..."
1569ShaperMemoryFragment8_2"...They called it the Elder. A creature of malignant madness... it cannot be killed.
The Watchers built the device to lock tight its kingdom, bringing with them the
blade - 'Starforge'. A weapon to give the Elder eternal rest. But the Shade...
I must find a way to put a stop to it before it finds a path to freedom..."
1570ShaperMemoryFragment9_1"...I've spent every waking hour since, trying to find a way to end this unholy Elder.
Within my secret study, I've begun work on a device of my own, tinkering and shaping.
When I'm finished, this Elder will never bother our world again.
The creature cannot be killed, but maybe... it can be exiled..."
1571ShaperMemoryFragment9_2"...Lack of progress on the device has given the High Templar cause for suspicion.
Clapped in irons, I was lead off to the Theopolis prisons for my insubordination.
I must find my way from these chains at all costs. The Elder is coming for us.
Only I can save us from this blasphemy that will soon befall Oriath..."
1572ShaperMemoryFragment9_3"...Venarius, that bastard... he marched me through the streets.
His men beat me within an inch of death... I... I told him everything.
He demanded that I take all of us into the dreamlands, to meet with the Elder.
Using the device, we stepped through, setting foot in the Atlas of Worlds..."
1573ShaperMemoryFragment10_1"...It wasn't long before we were met by the Shade itself.
The very essence of the Elder, demanding of me in visions to
tell it why I had returned. But before I could answer,
Venarius stepped forward and greeted the phantom..."
1574ShaperMemoryFragment10_2"...Before we knew it, we stood at the base of that blasphemous effigy.
"Pull the sword from my chest." The Elder imposed, and Venarius didn't hesitate.
The earth shook in the face of the Elder's reunion with its body. The true scope of the
Elder befell the High Templar and his men, and as it began to feed, I began to run..."
1575ShaperMemoryFragment10_3"...I fear this to be the end. Not just the end for me, but the end of all things.
The Elder has been freed. Soon it will feast on me... on the rest of the world.
It was too late for me. The Elder had to be stopped. I knew of the shaping powers.
Only I could have a hope at defeating the Elder..."
1576ShaperKeyI spent my life shining a light on truth...
but some things should remain in darkness,
locked away for all eternity.
1577UniqueRing49Be not stirred by the Void.

1581UniqueTwoHandSword13A weapon born of nothingness,

1582UniqueQuiver14Even emptiness may be harnessed.
1583UniqueBodyStr10The First of the Deep was the First of All.
It was He who conquered the waves,
who stood guard as land rose from sea.
1584UniqueHelmetStrInt12When the rains come, we cower beneath shelter.
The First of the Deep teaches us
that we should seek no shelter but ourselves.
1585UniqueGlovesStr9The stone that stays in the waves soon crumbles to sand.
The First of the Deep teaches us to watch the tides
and choose our moments to move wisely.
1586UniqueBootsStr10When the land rose above the sea, The First of the Deep did not move.
When the sky turned to fire, The First of the Deep did not perish.
We must remember our place, and play to our strengths.
1587UniqueBodyStrInt10A general may carry his men to greatness,
or be dragged beneath the mire by their burden.
1588UniqueBodyStrDex8The First of the Plains was the First of the Hunt
It was she who showed us that there is honour
in waiting in the shadows and picking your moment.
1589UniqueBodyStrDex8x"Attempt #120: the prototype has finally achieved power similar to the original
without breaking all the bones of the test subject. A rousing success."
1590UniqueHelmetDexInt10It is a fool who strikes the turtle's shell.
The First of the Plains teaches us to exploit weaknesses,
and where no weakness can be found, to create one.
1591UniqueGlovesStrDex10A hungry beast wastes no energy.
Every strike, no matter how small, must work towards victory.
The First of the Plains teaches us
that the largest prey can still be whittled away.
1592UniqueBootsDex13A secret is a weapon your enemies do not have.
When the First of the Plains hunted, she moved in silence and acted quickly.
To do otherwise is to arm your foes.
1593UniqueGlovesStrInt7When the inferno spread across the land,
it was the First of the Sky who singed his feathers
as he brought the flames to a standstill.
1594UniqueBodyDexInt10The First of the Sky was the Last of the First.
It was he who showed us that our limits are self-imposed,
that what we take for law may just be an illusion.
1595UniqueBootsStrDex6A bird, too heavily laden, cannot take flight.
The First of the Sky teaches us to put aside our possessions
so that we may live more freely.
1596UniqueHelmetDex8Though we are individual, we share the same plight.
The First of the Sky teaches us that unity and selflessness,
not division and greed, is what will carry us upwards.
1597UniqueBodyInt17The First of the Night was the first explorer
It was she who first braved night's terrors
and found comfort in silence and solace.
1598UniqueHelmetInt16A hunter uses everything at their disposal.
The First of the Night did not hold back her venom.
She used it to weaken her enemies,
and used her enemies to strengthen her many children.
1599UniqueGlovesDexInt10A burden shared is a burden made lighter.
The First of the Night teaches us that our burdens
are not just ours to bear, but ours to use against oppressors.
1600UniqueBootsDexInt7When the fires spilled out of the mountain, The First of the Night wove a net
and was carried into the night on its hot winds.
Though we cannot live without danger, we can learn to live with it.

The first Vaal.
1643UniqueRing52So great was the thaumaturgy of a bloodpriest's mark,

1711UniqueJewel129They believed themselves the greatest warriors, but that savagery turned upon their own.

1821ScarabShaperRares2Bold dreamer, Qianga of the Stars, she of the Celestial Cold! These titles
we bestow upon the one among us whose soul speaks to the ineffable.
1822ScarabShaperRares3Qianga of the Stars, Deliverer of the Sealing Blade to the Watchers, go now, and
let your half-dreamt life be troubled by nightmares of achromic hunger no more.
1823ScarabShaperRares4The Watchers have gone silent, yet they scream still.
Something lurks among the stars of our dreams, knocking at the door,
whispering with the voices of long lost friends...
1824ScarabElderRares1_Your visions led the Azmeri down into a world left abandoned by the Vaal.
They cast you out, young Egrin, but the Order of the Djinn accepts you.
1825ScarabElderRares2_Speaker of unclean truths, Egrin of the Dark Between Stars.
We curse you whose soul echoes the madness of the void!
1826ScarabElderRares3Egrin of the Dark Between Stars, Forger of the Sealing Blade,
let your name be redeemed by your unexpected sacrifice.
1827ScarabElderRares4We are all equally fools for our childish notions.
That dread force Decay cannot be defeated by self-sacrifice.
1828ScarabSulphite1As the first Brinerot to join the Order, you have much to prove,
young Raethan. We are confident you will succeed.
1829ScarabSulphite2For harnessing and controlling the power of lightning, you, Raethan,
are now charged with researching this new energy.
1830ScarabSulphite3Let him not be called Raethan the Betrayer. His discovery was too important
to keep locked away. Now, for good or ill, it is in civilisation's hands.
1831ScarabSulphite4Madness marches in machine form.
Harnessed lightning, grim faces, and cold ambition abounds.
Civilisation will be its own undoing.
1832ScarabDivinationCards1You were a casualty of callous Karui warfare, ageless Narumoa, but the Order
mended your wounds. You are bound to us now by your own code.
1833ScarabDivinationCards2Though your peers fear you, Narumoa, the elders have decided that your
second sight is ideal for handling all artefacts that seek to subvert Fate.
1834ScarabDivinationCards3Your centuries of service have been invaluable to us, Narumoa. Go now,
return to Hinekora, and join your ancient kin in the halls of the dead.
1835ScarabDivinationCards4Hinekora has sent the world another herald, but this hatungo walks another path.
We are left blinded, and subject to the vagaries of Fate.
1836ScarabTorment1Young Tsarsk, you were a broken and forgotten child lying glassy-eyed
in a flesh-pit in Trarthus, but the Order found and cleansed you.
1837ScarabTorment2Your tortured soul long kept you isolated from your peers, Tsarsk, but has attracted
new kindred in kind. You are tasked with appeasing these anguished spirits.
1838ScarabTorment3Though you were swallowed by your own darkness, you saved countless others
from eternal misery, young Tsarsk. You were not nothing, as you feared.
1839ScarabTorment4Without a speaker of the dead, the countless anguished spirits only grow in number.
They have no voice, and no hope. The sun darkens with each passing year.
1840ScarabStrongbox1Your outlaw camp abandoned you when their surprise attack failed, young Rindwik.
Now that you know we exist, we cannot let you go. You have two choices.
1841ScarabStrongbox2Your people were renegades, Rindwik, but you have proven your loyalty.
You will lead the martial defence of our expeditions.
1842ScarabStrongbox3Master Warrior Rindwik fell to one opponent alone: old age.
Only the greatest soldiers can say as much.
1843ScarabStrongbox4In the absence of a strong martial presence, the renegades rise once more.
Their poisons threaten to cloud the land.
1844ScarabHarbinger1Your ancestry has been much maligned by history, young Sarina Titucius,
but to the Order of the Djinn, you are born anew.
1845ScarabHarbinger2For deciphering the language of the inscrutable ones, honoured Sarina,
we charge you with investigating their intent in our land.
1846ScarabHarbinger3For your valour beyond the Gate, Sarina Titucius, we honour you with the first
Gilded Scarab awarded while its recipient still lives. Remain vigilant.
1847ScarabHarbinger4The thousand year truce has faltered, for the inscrutable ones have imprisoned their own God.
Should they invade again, there will be no warning.
1848ScarabPerandus1Your people no longer walk this continent, young Revna,
but the Order of the Djinn will give you a new home.
1849ScarabPerandus2As you delve into the mysteries of this world, apprentice Revna,
remember to learn from the past, not be consumed by it.
1850ScarabPerandus3We lay you to rest in the forest deep, Runesmith Revna, so that you may be
forever hidden from the stars which so terrified you in your final days.
May the secret you took to your grave be lifted from your burdens.
1851ScarabPerandus4Darkness surges in the shadows of the past. Ancient evils stir. The stars
watch, forever aloof, forever menacing. None remain who know the
secret, so we are defenseless in the face of the unknown.
1852ScarabLegion1Your faith and our Order are not in opposition, young Eutychus.
Let this be the start of a new era of cooperation.
1853ScarabLegion2As our hand in the Chamber, we grant you, Deacon Eutychus,
access to a domain we lack the resources to explore.
1854ScarabLegion3Given the fate of Deacon Eutychus and the men under Cardinal Sanctus Vox,
let none dare the Domain, lest they too feed that vile hunger eternal.
1855ScarabLegion4As the passage between Wraeclast and the land beyond time's reach is torn open,
we stand on the precipice of eternal war.
And no one remains to hold us back.
1856ScarabMetamorph1Rejected even by the Faridun outcasts, young Saresh, you were cursed to walk the
white sands until we found you. The Order shall command your penance now.
1857ScarabMetamorph2As you explore the vast well of human darkness, Saresh, our Surgeon of the Dead,
remember that the price can sometimes exceed the value of knowledge.
1858ScarabMetamorph3There was a man of bone, rotting flesh, and weeping black, but his name, his
ill-gotten knowledge, and his role in the Order shall be stricken from memory.
1859ScarabMetamorph4Though the Necromancer of Weeping Black fell in the desert by the hand of Garukhan,
his mindless legions remain scattered throughout Wraeclast, with no master to curb their hunger.
1860ScarabBlight1We pulled you from the raging ocean, young Dhunan,
but we cannot return you to your home. The Order of the Djinn
offers you a place on Wraeclast.
1861ScarabBlight2For using the techniques of your homeland to contain
the fungal plague, honoured Dhunan, you shall lead the war
to eliminate it and end the century-cycle of infestation.
1862ScarabBlight3Be at rest, Blightmaster Dhunan, on the distant shores of
your home. A dangerous expedition, but one worthy for
he who gave his life to cleanse Wraeclast.
1863ScarabBlight4The fungal plague returns, and its roots have adapted.
The undiscovered Blightheart that Dhunan theorised
must still exist somewhere, yet none remain
with the skill to see to its destruction.
1864ScarabAbyss1As the hordes of bone and blood and foul magic surge across the Vastiri Plains,
the scant survivors of our akhara agree to your alliance, ash-scarred Ahkeli.
Disorder means death. Order may mean life.
1865ScarabAbyss2Your golems and your leadership have slowed the tide of death, Clayshaper.
The relics of power you bid us find have kept the Vastiri Plains from the brink
of oblivion. The defences of the Maraketh will hold.
1866ScarabAbyss3The Winter of the World has ended at the hands of the Three Sisters. We lay this scarab
upon your ancient grave in thanks for your efforts, Honoured Founder. As you hoped,
the fate of your people will never befall another.
1867ScarabAbyss4The Abyssals creep forth by night and by storm. Their eons underground were not
a respite, but an amassing, and now they number beyond comprehension.
1868MapWorldsLookoutA glorious vista once exclusive
to emperors. Not anymore.
1869MapWorldsBeachA paradise, forever replenished by
endless waves teeming with life.
1870MapWorldsGraveyardUnknown legacies.
Untold stories.
1871MapWorldsDungeonA penitentiary for those who are not penitent
is nothing more than an inn for the evil.
1872MapWorldsAlleywaysAn unwashed gutter, where wretches
cut purses and throats alike.
1873MapWorldsPenSlaves held like cattle. A blood-soaked
revolution, just waiting to happen.
1874MapWorldsDesertHeat. Dust. Wind. These are what
forge strong minds and bodies.
1875MapWorldsAridLakeWater vanishes; an impromptu
prison becomes a tomb.
1876MapWorldsFloodedMineIn darkness, beast and man
alike clamour to survive.
1877MapWorldsMarshesEmbraced by mud. Grasped by roots.
The careless are silently swallowed.
1878MapWorldsIcebergIcy fangs seek tender hulls

1879MapWorldsCageTreat a man like a wild animal,
and he will soon learn to bite.
1880MapWorldsSpringsThe water brings life,
the poison takes it away.
1881MapWorldsExcavationTwo unexplored frontiers remain:
The skies and the soil.
1882MapWorldsLeylineAmidst the barren wastes,
a slender strand of life blooms.
1883MapWorldsPeninsulaThe farmer no longer plows
or sows. Only the flattened
soil remains.
1884MapWorldsPortThe wealthy foolishly battle
the ocean for domain.
1885MapWorldsBurialChambersVile fiends hide beneath
the peaceful plains.
1886MapWorldsCellsLife crushed together.
Left to crumble to dust.
1887MapWorldsArcadeWe create so that some part
of us may remain after death.
1888MapWorldsCitySquareCountless generations have
walked these time-worn stones.
1889MapWorldsRelicChambersRelics of a forbidden past.
Hidden away. Forgotten.
1890MapWorldsCourthouseJustice born of love is a surrender.
Justice born of law is a punishment.
1891MapWorldsStrandNothing good washes up
on this dark shore.
1892MapWorldsStrandUniqueWe all began life in darkness,
we shall all end it there.
1893MapWorldsChateauBeauty and brutality in such close proximity.
1894MapWorldsChateauUniqueForget kings and emperors;
He who holds the coin holds all the power.
1895MapWorldsGrottoTrapped in absolute darkness.
Despair. Panic. Terror.
1896MapWorldsGorgeWe must all walk the narrow, winding path.
The end is always the same.
1897MapWorldsVolcanoTremble in the might of the flames.
1898MapWorldsLighthouseFire ignites the sky.
A signal to keep away.
An invitation to invade.
1899MapWorldsCanyonA deep wound in the land.
One that will never heal.
1900MapWorldsConservatoryOrnate, elaborate, ostentatious...
and dripping with death.
1901MapWorldsSulphurVentsThe creatures that prowl the wildest extremes,
nature anoints with cruel efficacy to defend her.
1902MapWorldsHauntedMansionForlorn and sorrowful, this once opulent
ruin conceals the sins of a fallen line.
1903MapWorldsMazeThey live trapped forever in darkness
and confusion. We are no different.
1904MapWorldsMazeUniqueWe are ever the makers of our own undoing.
1905MapWorldsChannelThe stone cannot stop the torrent.
It can only divert it.
1906MapWorldsToxicSewerAffluence and effluence, separated
by a few feet of soil.
1907MapWorldsAncientCityThis was not the first
civilization to believe itself
the greatest. And it will
not be the last.
1908MapWorldsIvoryTempleMan and nature intertwined,
but only for the chosen few.
1909MapWorldsSpiderLairPanic only hastens the venom's
passage to the heart.
1910MapWorldsBarrowsMan burrows for only
the eternal hibernation.
1911MapWorldsMausoleumA vault for the dead, as if
they were valuable. Pathetic.
1912MapWorldsFieldsThey pleaded for the gods to bless their land.
Now they lie under the soil.
1913MapWorldsJungleValleyVerdant canopies shroud the world in darkness.
1914MapWorldsPhantasmagoriaEvery movement is watched,

1915MapWorldsAcademyThey came for enlightenment,
but were imprisoned by madness.
1916MapWorldsThicketLittle light enters.
No life escapes.
1917MapWorldsWharfReach out into the abyss,
and the abyss reaches back.
1918MapWorldsAshenWoodDesperately reaching skyward
and digging downwards.
Sustenance is an
eternal struggle.
1919MapWorldsAtollTime turns even the vicious
volcanoes to hollow shells.
1920MapWorldsAtollUniqueWhispers from
a world apart
Speak my name
beyond the tomb;
Bound within
the Maelström's heart,
Will they grant me
strength or doom?
1921MapWorldsCemeteryA stone forest of forgotten names.
1922MapWorldsCemeteryUniqueSome dead have long
envied the living.
When given the chance,
they take from us what they can.
So we offer our suffrage.
In return, they give
only suffering.
1923MapWorldsUndergroundSeaSilent stillness. The waters are
as cold as they are black.
1924MapWorldsTribunalSo much power in the hands of so few.
1925MapWorldsCoralRuinsThrust above the waves, still teeming
with horrors from the depths.
1926MapWorldsLavaChamberFiend and fortune-hunter alike turned to ash.
A sorry alliance of unending agony.
1927MapWorldsResidenceHome only to misery now.
1928MapWorldsRampartsA wall is the surest sign for raiders
that there is something of value to take.
1929MapWorldsDunesShifting, morphing, expanding. A reminder
of the virtues of an agile mind.
1930MapWorldsDunesUniqueMan creates where nature cannot.
1931MapWorldsBoneCryptThe dead ask to be remembered,
but such requests
are seldom met.
1932MapWorldsBoneCryptUniqueThey flew, and leapt,
and clambered over,
They crawled, and swam,
and slithered under.
Still its ancient secrets
await unclaimed
And of this hidden temple,
only legends remain.
1933MapWorldsUndergroundRiverLife, like still water, becomes trapped.
Stagnant. Foul.
1934MapWorldsUndergroundRiverUniqueHowls and laughter
They hide in the day
They smell you, they watch you
They track their new prey
1935MapWorldsGardensVibrant colours dash across the grey,
consuming Man's work.
1936MapWorldsArachnidNestMan is not the only beast to
bend nature to its will.
1937MapWorldsBazaarGreed is the only god here.
1938MapWorldsLaboratoryMy last waking moments looked very
much like this place... I miss it. I miss her.
1939MapWorldsInfestedValleyShould we feel disgusted at how the weak predate
the strong, or should we feel... admiration?
1940MapWorldsOvergrownRuinOnly fear remains unforgotten, where once
magnificent rites drew important crowds.
1941MapWorldsVaalPyramidA good slave is driven by
only two thoughts:
service and sacrifice.
1942MapWorldsVaalPyramidUnique"Should I depart this mortal coil,
so shall all of my treasures."
- Atziri, Queen of the Vaal
1943MapWorldsGeodeMany hands may
move a mountain.
1944MapWorldsArmouryThere is no war. There is no army.
Only fear lingers.
1945MapWorldsCourtyardAn elaborate, beautiful garden,
hidden from the public. Selfish.
1946MapWorldsCourtyardUniqueTo the east,
it cannot be seen.
To the west,
it cannot be touched.
To the south,
it cannot be remembered.
And to the north,
it cannot be contained.
1947MapWorldsMudGeyserFilth springs forth like blood
from a severed jugular.
1948MapWorldsShoreEach life, each act, as fleeting as footprints in the sand.
1949MapWorldsShoreUniqueThe Treasures of the Tides
wait in agony
at the End of the World.
1950MapWorldsTropicalIslandThe temptations of paradise
draw forth the good
and the bad alike.
1951MapWorldsMineralPoolsGod's jar of raw materials.
Life lying dormant,
waiting to sprout.
1952MapWorldsMoonTempleNight's promises are dark, for
even the stars must be harvested.
1953MapWorldsMoonTempleUniqueIn the shadow of war,
all are eclipsed.
1954MapWorldsSepulchreLives come and go.
Only bones and dust remain.
1955MapWorldsTowerWe ascend to great heights to commit low acts.
1956MapWorldsWastePoolVerdant life blossoms
amidst death.
1957MapWorldsPlateauSteep cliffs divide where the trees

1958MapWorldsEstuaryWhere land springs from water,
life will shortly follow.
1959MapWorldsVaultWealth beyond imagining,
locked beyond reach.
1960MapWorldsTempleImmaculate white stone rises
from the abyss. Perfection.
1961MapWorldsTempleUniqueLaughs of all the twisted
Echo through these
halls of gold.
In this cold forgotten void
They wander, forever uncontrolled.
1962MapWorldsArenaThe sound of a thousand calls
for blood echo for eternity.
1963MapWorldsMuseumAncient artifacts and beautiful baubles.
All paid for in blood.
1964MapWorldsMuseumUniquePlease take out your blades,
your whips, and your spikes.
Class is now in session.
1965MapWorldsScriptoriumKnowledge balanced atop a vast pit. Hold on,
or perish in the darkness of ignorance.
1966MapWorldsSiegeNo rest, no peace, no negotiation. Only War.
1967MapWorldsShipyardThe stone and lumber sleeps.
The captains are long dead.
Only the sea knows their end.
1968MapWorldsBelfryBells are rung in celebration, and in sorrow.
And, finally, in despair.
1969MapWorldsArachnidTombThey feel your every move,
your every breath,
with a million little wires.
1970MapWorldsWastelandA white bone stripped of its fertile flesh.
Life spirals towards its end.
1971MapWorldsPrecinctCrushed together and fenced in,
to live out their lives like cattle.
1972MapWorldsBogLayer upon layer of death and rot.
Disgusting.
1973MapWorldsPierMan's reach extends into
the ocean, clawing at
its infinite depths.
1974MapWorldsCursedCryptSaints and heathens look the same
once the rot takes hold.
1975MapWorldsCursedCryptUniqueFor his sins
he was hunted in his sleep,
judgement wrought
of twisted nightmare.
The Coward bound
his dreams to stone,
awaiting another to walk
the path of true atonement.
1976MapWorldsOrchardThe fruit that grows from bloody ground tastes sweetest.
1977MapWorldsPromenadeEven the greatest achievements
will eventually be abandoned.
1978MapWorldsPromenadeUniqueThe grandest and greatest
ever to fight,
Divine the champions stand tall.
But match their power,
best their might,
And even the immortal may fall.
1979MapWorldsLairIn darkness, the alpha rises. The companionship
of beasts is fragile indeed.
1980MapWorldsColonnadeSmall minds demand
the largest structures.
1981MapWorldsPrimordialPoolA dough of bad blood.
A yeast of ill will.
1982MapWorldsSpiderForestEach branch, each leaf,
an extension of a web
that spans sanity.
1983MapWorldsCovesThe dark seas swallow the careless
and spit them against sharp rocks.
1984MapWorldsWaterwaysA river in the sky, far from that
which so desperately needs it.
1985MapWorldsFactoryRepetition. Convention. Duplication.
Creation distilled to perfection.
1986MapWorldsMesaBarren and sun-bleached.
Emptiness as far as
the eye can reach.
1987MapWorldsPitBlood turns the soil to mud.
1988MapWorldsDefiledCathedralCrafted with reverence.
Defiled with ease.
1989MapWorldsSummitWe are swept ever upwards by our ambition,
with no thought of what awaits us at the peak.
1990MapWorldsOvergrownShrineA once great monument,
now a forgotten memorial.
1991MapWorldsOvergrownShrineUniqueCurious, she shook it then,
And tiny screams emerged.
Curiouser, she shook again,
And an eerie silence purred.
1992MapWorldsCastleRuinsWhen the castle falls,
it has failed its only purpose.
1993MapWorldsCrystalOre_As the torch flickers, brilliance
emerges in boundless variance.
1994MapWorldsVillaWealth is powerless to stop
the corroding force of time.
1995MapWorldsTortureChamberWho is the true criminal, the one behind
bars, or the one who tortures him?
1996MapWorldsTortureChamberUnique"Here the soil is more deadly
than any swing of the axe."
- Oba of the Karui,
Conqueror of Corruption.
1997MapWorldsNecropolisEven in death, we long to
be close to one another.
1998MapWorldsNecropolisUniqueSo the raiders danced,
leading their foe ever west,
towards certain death.
1999MapWorldsRacecourse_Rats chase their tails for the amusement of fools.
2000MapWorldsCalderaFrom the heart of fire, rivers
of burning rage billow forth.
2001MapWorldsGhettoAmongst the rabble,
brutality is the law.
2002MapWorldsParkA brief respite in a sea of obligation and uncertainty.
2003MapWorldsMalformationBoils swell from the earth.
Foul malignant flesh
without purpose.
2004MapWorldsTerraceA garden on a stone pedestal.
An incredible, and foolish, feat.
2005MapWorldsShrineBlack tiles don't stain so easily.
2006MapWorldsArsenalThere is no war. There is no army.
Only rage lingers.
2007MapWorldsDesertSpringAs mirage becomes reality,
hardship is briefly quenched.
2008MapWorldsCoreBlack monstrous bridges cross oily rivers,
leading nowhere. Nothing as it should be.
2009MapWorldsColosseumLife means as little as a passing
moment of entertainment.
Let them rot.
2010MapWorldsAcidLakesClear water springs forth.
A moment of purity before it too gathers filth.
2011MapWorldsDarkForestThe trees grow twisted and gnarled,
without a hint of light.
A curse lingers here.
2012MapWorldsCrimsonTempleA sanguine supplication to death and depravity.
2013MapWorldsPlazaDrought took the plants, famine took the people.
2014MapWorldsDigA hollow echo of bygone times
in a land where none lived long.
2015MapWorldsPalaceDeath forces even the most
determined of despots to
pass the crown.
2016MapWorldsLavaLakeAt the heart of a peaceful, secluded valley,
an island of burning, consuming fury.
2017MapWorldsBasilicaBuilt so the prayers would echo.
A resonance no god could hear.
2018MapWorldsSunkenCityFrom the walls, water, and ferns...
Death comes crawling on ancient steps.
2019MapWorldsReefEach plank of rotting wood,
each dead sailor,
feeds the island and makes it grow.
2020MapWorldsCarcassLife's wet, reproductive stink abates,
relenting to death's chaste ritual of decay.
2021MapWorldsDrySeaWhere once waves crashed with crushing force,
brittle wooden bones tell tall tales.
2022MapWorldsStagnation_Aided by unrelenting rain,
rot devours new life at the first fumble.
2023MapWorldsBramblefallThe faintest traces of civilisation
defiantly resist nature's scouring tendrils.
An admirable, but futile, effort.
2024MapWorldsFrozenCabinsThe fleet lay stranded in the winter wastes,
those aboard to never again see the light of day.
2025MapWorldsBurnDoes the land reject the dead,
or do the dead reject their fate?
2026MapWorldsCrimsonTownshipRain will wash away the stains,
but the madness and memories will never fade.
2027MapWorldsForkingRiverGreat stone towers tore at the natural order
and were promptly put in their place.
2028MapWorldsThaumaturgistsLairEver does man look to emulate his creator,
only to match his indifference.
2029MapWorldsColdRiverIce forges a fickle path,
as those beneath its veil can attest.
2030MapWorldsForbiddenWoodsEvery instinct wills you to sleep through the bitter cold;
a certain death. Those that yet survive must fight
through every aching movement.
2031MapWorldsSiloGrim blessings whispered in the deepest,
most secret of places.
2032MapWorldsChimeraOne of my captors hid a beast within his heart.
Now his true self can be seen by all.
2033MapWorldsHydraOne of my captors wore many faces,
yet kept her true face hidden.
Now she cannot escape her true face.
2034MapWorldsMinotaurOne of my captors felt no emotion.
He did not hesitate to inflict pain.
Now all he feels is intense, unstoppable agony.
2035MapWorldsPhoenixOne of my captors refused redemption.
He did not see value in a new life.
Now new life surrounds him.
2036MapWorldsVaalTempleVoices. Visions. Violence.
They will haunt these grounds for all of eternity.
2037MapWorldsShapersRealmThe nexus of nothingness and equilibrium of eternity.
2038UniqueChest13From those who are gone, to those who remain.
2039UniqueChest14Whispers and promises, ancient and alluring.
2040UniqueMap21The winters of my youth were cold and harsh.
We had nothing, yet to my mother's credit, I wanted for so little.
2041UniqueMap22What had seemed sacred and infallible
so quickly became flawed out of necessity.
Created from compromises. Vulnerable to mortal whims.
2042UniqueMap23Without our strict rule, man's destructive side would take hold.
Our beautiful public spaces, our services for the ill and the needy,
all of it would crumble.
2043UniqueMap24It was in my oath that I found peace.
In echoing marble halls I found my voice.
Before the congregation I found purpose.
2044UniqueMap25Though my life is gone, my purpose is not.
My will remains, emboldened and empowered
by the righteousness of my cause.
