Only rarely do I get a clear answer to my questions."Ĭronos paced a ways behind Myxir, tending to some business of his own.Īs I approached, he stopped to greet me. The descriptions I could find here, however, are in part very confusing. "The guardians of the dead had their special formulas they used to pacify the spirits. So far, I have no doubt that they really exist." These spirits were the souls of great warriors, priests, and rulers. "The builders did not create soulless undead such as zombies or other evil creatures. "The undead that I know never had much to say." I joked. They held regular summonings and rituals to ask the spirits for advice or to gain enlightenment." If I have understood correctly, they believed they were in constant contact with their ancestors. "The builders had a strong connection to the spirit world. "The builders of these ruins fascinate me! It is just too bad that their language is as dead as they are." Myxir said, rubbing his chin."Even their mighty rituals and summonings could not save them." This was a new, unfamiliar land after all. I decided to go speak with each one to see what they could tell me. It seemed as though the Water Mages had learned a fair amount while I was in limbo. But what choice did we have? If we cannot stop what is happening here, then Khorinis will suffer exactly the same fate that once befell the builders of this ancient city." "I'm not happy about that either, believe you me. "And we fools have reopened the portal." I said softly.
"Adanos himself appeared to them to end the madness. The civil war that followed reduced everything to rubble." All of his followers fell to the madness a short time later and began to battle with the common folk.
Returning from a successful battle outside the protecting walls of the city, he brought the Evil with him. He was a great commander named Quahodron. "One of their own devoted himself to Evil. "What made the builders so agitated?" I asked. The few who survived the inferno closed this part of the island in the hope of locking up the chaos." The streets were in flames, and a flood which devoured everything ultimately sealed the fate of the builders. There was a dreadful civil war shortly before the downfall of the city, if their records can be believed. Terrible things happened here many years ago. It looks very much as though they wanted to hide the sunken city from the rest of the world. "I am studying the history of the builders and am trying to understand why they closed the portal. My long trip must have just been a fluke. Of course, I'll let you know if I have the suspicion that it could be otherwise." "We traveled through a curious dimension. "How is that you arrived here before me?" I wondered aloud. "I'm tremendously relieved to see that you have arrived here unscathed." He said to me as I approached.
