Mission 3: House of the Orion Sun

Mission 3: House of the Orion Sun

*Core World problems...*

Rigel IV glistens beneath a giant, blue-white sun. Its vast surface is covered in tall cities shining like hope itself. Law enforcement protects the people. Or at least… most of the people. Because even core worlds have a seedy side. Esper finds a home of sorts among the endangered, the unprotected, the ones that the law turns a blind eye toward. And when one of her protectees gets kidnapped, Esper will stop at nothing to bring her home. Well, almost nothing. Because Esper’s work has pushed her to the edge of a moral precipice. She’s clinging by the last of her willpower to avoid the easy path, the one that might lead her to damnation and turn her into the sort of person she’s been battling all along. And the voice in her head keeps egging her on. ~ J.S. Morins Books Black Ocean Mercy For Hire

In the beginning of the level there is a sign that says "Place d'Italie". This is an actual place in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. The sign looks like an metro sign.

### 09.02 - Place de France sign

There is no square in Paris that has the name "Place de France". But there was one that would be planned to be build under the reign of Henri IV. According to this article found on the internet:

> Great builder, Henri IV had many projects for Paris, the most beautiful examples of which are the two first royal squares of Paris, the Place des Vosges and Place Dauphine. A third royal square, the Place de France, was never completed. His memory is nevertheless preserved in the layout of the streets around Debelleyme Street, in the 3rd arrondissement.

About Tomb Raider Art Encyclopendia

This wiki was written by a person with many names.

* On Tomb Raider Forums (TRF), I'm known as Red\_Lion.
* On Tumblr, I was known as #artofangelofdarkness from 2017-2019.
* On this wiki, I'm known as Tom Braider900.

## About this wiki

This fandom wiki is a result of my time spent actively on Tumblr. I spent a lot of time researching the original image or the story behind that one image used in Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. Later, I also started doing Tomb Raider I and IV. I virtually roamed the streets of Paris with Google maps.

## The games of Tomb Raider

I've played the Tomb Raider games to death. I started with Tomb Raider II on a Pentium I with 16 MB RAM and a Soundblaster that eventually gave up. Then I bought Tomb Raider III, but my monitor couldn't handle SVGA, so I exchanged it for a game called "RING I" based on the opera by Richard Wagner. Then came Tomb Raider IV, followed by Tomb Raider V, then Tomb Raider VI (also known as Angel of Darkness), and also Tomb Raider I.

While playing the games, I discovered that the developers reused real images. Images that I had seen in my own collection of ancient Egypt books but also books about mythology. Specifically, it was at the temple of Xian where Lara places the dragon seal. I had also seen that dragon seal in Neil Philip's book: The Illustrated Book of Myths, 1995.

## Name of wiki and language

I'm aware that the Tomb Raider Art Encyclopendia has a spelling mistake. I created it like that at the time, and it's good to have a distinctive name.

I'm also aware that there are many language mistakes to be found in my articles. I'm working on improving them since Dutch is my native language. Fortunately, ChatGPT can help me with this. If you'd like to help as well, please feel free to do so.

## Time consuming hobby

I created this wiki in my free time as a hobby. I also have another big hobby, which is Ancient Egypt. Both of my hobbies take up a lot of my time. Additionally, there are other activities that need to be done. At the moment, I'm not actively working on the Tomb Raider Art Encyclopaedia wiki.
Gravity stones

A gravity stone needs to be attuned to its area of influence. For a starship or space station, that would generally be the outer hull. Within the zone, gravity is typically set in one linear direction ("down") uniformly throughout. On any planet gravity would always be pulling toward a central point, but gravity stones can achieve a flat, planar field. You could, of course, attuned one to create ringworld style centrifugal gravity or natural centripetal gravity (terramancers do this using a planet as its own gravity stone). The skill and craftsmanship affect the quality of the field in ways ranging from the exact force of the gravity (usually aiming for 1 g) to direction, conformity of area of effect to the intended space, and shape of the field.

Azrin

"Drawn up to her full Hight, standing on tall on her backwards bending legs and throwing her shoulders back she could tower over any of the crew"

## Azrin

### Languages

Jiara

The Azrin are a felid species native to the earthlike world of Meyang. They are an ARGO-occupied world with an apartheid government where a small number of humans rule over the native Azrin population through technological advantages. They stand taller than humans and have very powerful muscles, lightning quick reflexes, and natural weapons in the form of fangs and retractable claws in hands and feet. This makes them some of the most dangerous melee combatants in the galaxy, and well suited to mercenary work. They were quite primitive when first encountered by ARGO having only reached early medieval technology.

The azrin native language is Jiara.

Ahmed Ben Trayal (TR4)

**Ahmed Ben Trayal** is a side figure, a companion of Werner von Croy. In Tomb Raider IV in the first Egypt level Lara raided a tomb of Seth. In the first part with Ahmed, leading the way as guide and holding the torch.

Apparently is last name is “Ben Trayal”, the connection with “Betrayal” can be easily done. He is scared in the section “Sands of Time” with his big eyes.

In the film the Mummy (1999) playes Beni Gabor a guide, an antagonist and he does comic things. He is played by Kevin J. O'Connor. I see some similarity between the two: big eyes, a moustache and a cap on their heads. Obvious not the same colour.

## Reaction from @seethem-dancing

Hahahaha Ahmed Ben “Trayal”… I don’t think he betrayed Lara at all… I think he was bought from the beginning!

Interesting. That parallel was, in fact, brought up in the interview with Andy Sandham where the latter admitted “the Mummy” did serve as an inspiration for TLR in some respects (the scarabs were, according to him, definitely influenced by that movie). However, he was unable to say with certitude whether the Beni character was the inspiration for Ahmed or it was Satipo from the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”:

> “We would like to know if the game had “The Mummy” movie as one of the inspirations you have based on, while depeloping your masterpiece. The Beni character from the film reminded me of the local guide whom Lara has dealt with: they share the same ethnicity, are both manipulators and ran away after knowing about the curse. Also, both in the film and the game, aegyptian beetles are carnivorous, while they actually feed themselves with dung. Has the Stephen Sommer’s movie been inspirational to you?
>
>

> Certainly the scarabs were influenced by the film – unsure about the guide, I believe this was more in line with Satipo out of the original raiders film, one of the teams core references when developing any TR game. I note the scarabs were later ‘borrowed’ for uncharted 3. they get around, those flesh eating scarabs!” From here: https://tombraider-of-coredesign.tumblr.com/post/139136287989/another-great-interview-with-andy-sandham-super
>
>

According to **this interview**, Core developers planned for Werner to be the one to have commissioned Lara - unbeknownst to her - to open the Tomb of Seth and retrieve the Amulet (though that is never stated anywhere in game). The latter might indicate Ahmed had been working for Werner all along.

Atlantis

Finally, Lara Croft discovers Atlantis! The level features a unique environment with moving flesh and muscles, where she battles Atlean soldiers, the doppelganger, centaurs, lava, and other challenges.

There is nothing to mention about artwork. So I'll skip this thing.

## Trivia

### 14.01 - Muscle like textures

Some of the walls or floor in the game move like it is a living muscle of tissue.
It was made by heather Gibson. In fact it is an easter egg, because it has a story behind it.

Read more on: Easter Egg page
Lost Valley

As Lara continued on her quest, she discovered a giant waterfall and learned of an incomplete machine that controls it.

To complete the machine, Lara must find several missing cogs, some of which are located in a lost valley where live dinosaurs still roam.

Here, she retrieves the necessary items and discovers the Tomb of Qualopec.

## Known references

### 03.00 - Book reference

 The title of the level is an Easter egg!

Read more here: Easter Egg page

### 03.01 - Maya God

Found near the cog game. It is called **Kinich Ahau (K’inich Ajaw),** a sun god. Picture found **here**. Ahau or Ajaw (modern spelling) means “king” in Mayan.

> *Made up of smoothed sheets and coils of coarse orange clay, this "incensario," or incense burner, depicts one of the Palenque Triad of deities that art historians call "GIII." The Maya called him Kinich Ajaw, or "Sun Lord." He is shown here with his trademark nose, and shell and fish symbols around his mouth. The stacking of faces is a hallmark of "incensarios" from the site of Palenque, where there was probably a workshop dedicated to their production. The potent effect of smoke and fragrance that would have risen from this visually provocative incense burner indeed reflects a Maya preference for ceremonial theatrics. (from here)*

### 03.02 - king on a stele

This one depicts a king before a deity or a man.  It is called the **Moctezuma’s stone**, now in the **National Museum of Anthropology of Mexico**. The second picture is a detailed one, and the third picture is the original stone. The stone dating back to the rule of Montecuhzoma I (1440-1469) an Aztec king of Tenochtitlan.
Draw your own adventure

This article is about a topic, while possibly relating to Joel & Sims, is not connected to the current Meme House timeline. Reader discretion is advised.

## Draw your own adventure

### Release date:

7th November, 2019

"*Stop it! Why do you have to kiss everything you see?*"
—Bulk Bogan to Varg Fren**[src]**

**Draw your own adventure** acts as a bonus episode of Meme House. It was streamed the day after Part 9.

Originally planned to be a stand-off gameplay episode, due to chat's requests, Joel ends up drawing a lot of characters from the Meme House, unintentionally creating a Meme House spin-off.

## Plot and Events

In the episode, Varg Fren, known as Emperor Karl, starts to feel lonely despite his rank. He makes the decision to go off on an adventure to find a soulmate.

On the quest, he encounters a bunch of characters from Meme House (although some had changed names) and tries to kiss most of them. Fren then ends up meeting DIO and they get married, putting an end to his quest. However, DIO later betrays him and takes rule of the kingdom, leaving Fren no choice but to run.

Fren starts to lose hope, but with the help of the friends he had met on his previous quest: the dashing rogue CBT Wizard Johnson with his army of Waldos, the wizard Bulk Bogan and a holy Pepsi Can artifact, they are able to defeat DIO and Fren is able to take back his throne.

After that, Fren marries the CBT Wizard, they have many children and live happily ever after.
Industrial Rooftops

Industrial rooftops is the third level of the game. In Parisian back streets she is chased by the police, she hides in the derelict apartment block but the police chased her to the rooftop. We start at the rooftop of the building and go to all sorts of industrial buildings. Lara is chased by the police in a helicopter.

In a cutscene, she is gripping a railing and crashing into a bin, leaving the police behind and going to Margot Carviers address.

## Unknown references

### 03.01 – Iron wrought

Iron Wrought workLooks like music notes?
Like in the first level, Parisian Back streets, she sees her also Iron wrought work. It looks like it's mimicking music (notes, violin key).

### 03.02 – Turkey reference?

The abandoned industrial area.Graffiti.
There are some graffiti in the industrial streets. One of them is called TRKY it can be seen as “Turkey” which is a reference to AOD2 (which never existed) or can be seen as “TRICKY”.

### 03.03 - Lara dies when past the fence

Lara dies passing the fence.The spot in the building to not to die.
In the past I discovered that Lara dies when she was past the fence meeting a doggy (even the doggy didn’t appear). If she goes to the building with the medipack and run around, head back then she wouldn't die and grab some batteries for the Vpacker stun gun.

### 03.04 - Unreachable spot

Unreachable spot.
Lara cannot reach this spot by jumping.. The other area is where she must supposed to be. Lara in the same spot accept somewhat lower. There is an invisible wall next to the window.

### 03.05 - Stand on the chimney

Lara can stand on an iron chimney, it somewhat next to the rope.

### 03.06 - Hidden graffiti

Left picture is the wall you see in the game, however on the other side are three graffiti marks.

### 03.07 - Unlimited sliding from a ledge

Lara keeps sliding and don’t fall from the ledge. It’s like surfing.

### 03.08 - Goofing on the roof

In the cutscene Lara is running and jumping to a ledge. You can stand on this ledge. Running around. If you press jump while running or a backwards jump, Lara will spread her wings and keeping moving forward/backward.

### 03.09 - Walking on the large industrial building

If Lara flies and land between two pipes of the factory (first picture) she can walk on the roof. But don’t make the mistake to jump because she would fall off.  The roof has collision. But I don’t know why, because it is useless. Probably forgotten to remove when the retail takes off. But one thing: Lara can look all over the Paris levels: such a beautiful view.

### 03.10 - View of Parisian back streets

It is possible to fly to one of the two chimneys and land on it. You won't fall of and you have a
magnificent view on the Parisian back streets.
Froot Loops

**Froot Loops** (orig. Fruit Loops) are sweetened and fruit-flavored breakfast cereal, which is distinguished by its ring-shaped cereal pieces.

It is the favorite food of Dio Brando, he has been seen eating and thoroughly enjoying it throughout the series, capable of brightening up a bad mood every time, even though Dio doesn't require food to live as a vampire.

Dio eating fruit loops.This. Man. Loves. Eating. FROOT LOOPS.
The Great Wall

**The Great Wall** is a level from Tomb Raider 2

Lara Croft travels to Xian, China to visit the Great Wall. She leaves a helicopter and investigates the Great Wall. She encounters lions, crows, spiders and many more.

She enters the cave with the door that contains the dagger. Claudio attacks Lara, she shoots Claudio. He began talking about the dagger and from whom he works, Marco Bartoli. After Claudio dies, she searches his laptop for more information. That leads her to Venice.

## Known references

### 01.01 - Tower

Picture from the gameTower from the great wall in China
It might be obvious but the towers in the game are inspired of the great wall in china. It has even the battlements. Picture came from wikipedia, it is the Great wall of Mutiyanu.

### 01.02 - 90s laptop

On a box at a fire is a 90s laptop. I don't found a match but it-could-be IBM ThinkPad 300 laptop.

90s laptop from the gameIBM Thinkpad 300
### 01.03 - Dinosaurs

The dinosaurs are added to the game to troll the game player. These are a reference to Tomb Raider 1: Lost Valley.

## Goofs

### 01.04 - climbing the towers

Route to tower nr. 1Tower nr. 1Route to tower nr. 2
It is possible to climb the towers to jump from the walls to the mountain and run to the next tower.

### 01.05 - Strange texture

Near the second tower, some strange textures can be found. I think it is a leftover of the development stage. Lara Croft or the game player shouldn't be here.

Sanctuary of the Scion

Lara enters a huge cave with a giant sphinx reminiscent of the one in Giza, Egypt. She jumps on blocks, slides down, swims through water, and grips onto blocks to navigate through the cave.
Finally, she enters the room beneath the sphinx, which houses statues of Horus and Seth. After solving various puzzles and defeating mummies, Lara Croft obtains the last piece of the Scion.

## Known references

### 12.01 - The Sema symbol

As the level progresses Lara sees the second piece of the scion on a block. The block has a symbol in it called "Sema". Which means: "to unite" and is frequently used in the Sema-Tawy fraze: "Unite the two lands of Egypt".

The symbol can be compared with this statue of king Khafre or Chephren according to the Greeks. A king of the 4th dynasty, his pyramid is in Gizeh near Caïro (or Gizeh in Caïro today). This statue has an unique design, the god horus protect the head of the ruler, he is wearing a Nemes-headdress.

* Current location: Castello Visconeo
* Original location: Capitello da San Giovanni in Borgo.

### 12.02 - Gargoyle

In gameGargoyles from Notre Dame in Paris
A bit tricky but I think the gargoyles in the room comes from the Notre Dame in Paris. I said tricky because there are zillion of gargoyle types on  Gothic churches in Paris and other countries. But since the story is in Paris, I focus on Paris.

### 12.03 - Mosaic floor

In gameIn the LouvreThe hall
This Mosaïque Octagonale is situated in the romo "Salles des colonnes du Louvre" or room of the columns of Louvre museums. On top of the octagonal mosaic is a vase with Dionias on it. It was made in 1778 and Francesco Lazzerini.

### 12.04 - Medieval scenery

In gameAdoration of the three wise menMary, Joseph and SimeonTransport of pope Adrian IIISamson and the lion.
The medieval scenery came from the **Territorial Abbey of Nonantola** some 10 km from Modena.  It is a former Benedictine monastery. The abbey church remains as a basilica and is the co-cathedral of the diocese of Modena-Nonantola.

Found the four images. These came from the main gate of the abbey and depict:

1. Adoration of the **three wise men**.
2. Mary, Joseph and Simeon
3. Transport of pope Adrian III
4. Samson and the lion.

### 12.xx - Demon head

The demon head's that shoot spikes remind me somehow of Tomb Raider II. But I couldn't find the original.

The Flor Ailes

## Powers

Their power is charms. They are flirtatious and bubbly, and tend to giggle a lot. They are extremely jeered at and always mocked for claiming to have such a feeble power. They don't really care about their reputation. And they are usually eminently gorgeous, in varies of fluorescent, neon colors. They are weak fighters as a result of their childish ways and serenity. Any Flor Ailes will wear a hangdog face with even the most subtle mention of the war! Some dragons, rarely, are known to have an unusual control over growth of flowers, for they may be distinctly related to LeafWings.
Mika Schroers

## Profile

 D.O.B
 Postion

## Career

Mika worked his way through the Borussia M'Glad. youth set up and got his professional contract in the 16/17 season. It took till the 19/20 season for him to make two appearances (and an assist) but they did not renew his contract and Gateshead got him on a bosman deal. He was a key player in the 20/21 season for Gateshead, making 32 appearances and setting up 4 goals. The next season (21/22), Mika fell down the pecking order but still managed to assist 12 goals in 21 games. For the 22/23 season, there was in influx of new wingers, this saw him loaned out to Hannover 96 where he only played one game for them. He returned at the end of the season. The next season saw him only play twice but still assisting 3 in them games. He mostly played for the reserves where he helped them reach their highest position 4th. At the start of the 24/25 season, a £85,000 offer came in from Italian side Messina and with Gateshead looking to relieve the wage budget he was allowed to leave after his 55 games at the club. Ireland regreats not giving him more of a chance but with the club having so many wingers it was hard to keep him whilst being unhappy. When he left he held the highest average rating over the time at the club than any other player with 7.82.
Valley of the Kings

**Valley of the Kings**is a level from Tomb Raider 4.

## Pictures

**05.01 - Hieroglyphics**

These hieroglyphics came from the El-Kharga oase in Egypt, according to some site. In the hieroglyphics I read the word **Maa Kheru**which means “voice of truth” the title of the diseased.

From here: https://images.pexels.com/photos/3199399/pexels-photo-3199399.jpeg

**05.02 - Cartouche**

I think it is the cartouch of Rameses II.

**05.03 - View**

The view looks very similar to the mountains of the Thebes.  There is a hill called El-Qurna that looks a bit like a pyramid.
Tomb of Tihocan

Lara travels through a vast level filled with traps, pushable blocks, dangerous animals, spinning blades, and centaurs guarding the tomb. Once inside, she uncovers the truth about Tihocan and Natla.

The level features a plethora of Greek-Roman artwork, immersing players in the ancient setting and adding to the overall experience

## Known references

### 09.01 - Face

I think it's an ancient Greek mask for drama and theater. If you look closely, you can see that the mask has wings and horns on its head. I couldn't find the exact item, but it looks like the second item: Mask of a satyr, roman artwork, 2nd century CE. Found here.

### 09.02 - Pegasus.

In the tomb of Tihocan, there is an altar with a depiction of a winged horse underneath it. This horse is called Pegasus and comes from Greek mythology. It is said that Pegasus helped the hero Perseus kill the Gorgons.

The winged horse appears to come from a coin. A similar coin comes from Sicily, minted during the reign of Timoleon. It is now in the British Museum and can be found here.

## Unknown references

### 09.03 - Greek/Latin text tiles

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the image on the internet. It is a series of text in Greek/Latin script. The only thing I can read is 'Neo'. It was copied from an unknown source.

### 09.04 - Centaur or Sagittarius.

A centaur is a mythical creature that is half man and half horse. They are often depicted wielding a bow and arrow, which makes them look a bit like the Sagittarius zodiac sign.

Bouchard's hideout

## Known references

Many thanks to Aurimas from Tomb Raider Forums for pointing this out.

### 08.02 - Device next to Arnauld

In gameECT device
The ECT device is used mainly in the sanatorium level. It's a device to use it for electroconvolusive therapy. Thanx to Aurimas from tomb raider forums for pointing this out.

### 08.03 - Bittle Lob

In gameAlbum
"Bittle Lob" is an anagram of Little Bob.  It is a band from France, from Le Havre.

The device is a pallet truck. If you look good on that pallet truck you see a little star. It can be found on their albums.

### 08.04 - Czech Passports

In game inventoryBrown versionRed versionGreen brown version
These are indeed Czech passports. These are:

* Brown; from the time the country was called **Czechoslovakia**. It features the **Socialist coat of arms** (see the star on top) and the lion of Bohemia, on the chest the coat of arms of Slovakia.
* Red; an identity card from Czechoslovakia.
* Green brown; The current passport of the Czech Republic. It features the **greater coat of arms of the Czech Republic**.

### 08.05 - Frescos, strange text and boxes with beer

In the room where Bouchard just sitting in his chair are two frescos that also can be seen in the church. See here and here for references.

In the same room is a box with WTR PK also known as WALTER PK the gun of James Bond, this has been explained here. Also is some beer boxes, read more on the The Serpent Rouge level.

## Unknown references

### 08.06 - Stone decoration

There can be seen some Gothic decoration. Maybe from the Notre Dame in Paris..

## Trivia

### 08.08 - Mr. Bouchard sitting just there..

Today I red the documentation that Kiko has made on TRF in the topic **Beta and so much more - diary**, on this level. I red that in the concept level Bouchard had two bodyguards or baddies and that Lara was caught up by one of the bodyguards. Some of the sound files refer to the bodyguards. These are removed because in this level Bouchard has no bodyguards.

The only thing I am missing in this scene is a television. Bouchard watching tv because I see no books and the amount of junkfood (boxes) must be one thing that entertains him.

### 08.09 - Background noice

The background noice or chatter can be heard in the sewers. The chatter sounds like a French cafe with male and female voices. Often I wonder if members of Core Design recorded this in Paris.

### 08.10 - Bouchard just sitting in air

When you, the game player, letting Lara go inside the lair of Bouchard a cutscene starts. I have Nakamichi860's tools on my computer and can look during cutscenes to the environment. Bouchard is just sitting in air when Lara comes in when the cutscene start. It is just funny.

Von Croy (TR4)

The character Arnold Toht from India Jones of the Raiders of the Lost Ark reminds me a lot of Werner von Croy.

I see some similarity between the two, like the glasses, the hat (not the colour of course not) and the pear-shaped face.

I think it is a match.. What do you think?

## Reactions

Croftmanor said: Von Croy was mostly based on late German actor Klaus Kinski’s character in the 1982 movie Fitzcarraldo!

I found the image with Yandex on this **site .** It may not be the original image but it could be used for it.

Natla's Mines

After obtaining the last piece of the Scion, Lara confronts Natla and her henchmen. The henchmen take away her weapons and attempt to kill her, but Lara escapes and hides on a boat, eventually finding the location of Atlantis.
In this level, Lara's primary objective is to retrieve her weapons and battle the henchmen like the skateboard kit.

## Known references

### 13.01 - RH 75 drill

There is an RH 75 drill on the way. I discovered there is a business called **Nikko O&K** which makes construction machines. There is a branch called RH 75, but also RH 50 and RH 5 etc.

### 13.02 - Pyramid?

Near the entrance of the pyramid, Lara places an object to get
entrance.. It looks a bit like the inside of the Great Pyramid. I say a “bit”.
Wrath of the Beast

**Wrath of the Beast** is a level of Tomb Raider - Angel of Darkness.

## About this level

If Lara Croft steps on the Earth sign she enters the sublevel Wrath of the Beast.

In this level she will obtain the earth-gem.

## Picture by picture

**13B.01 - Mosaic**

The mosaic in the beginning of the game (before the floor collapses) came from Corinth, Greece and is a Roman Mosaic dating from the 2nd century A.D. From **here**.

**13B.02 - The Beast**

The beast has two wings, two horns and can control fire. It could be just a statue. But if you look closely it could also be a Nephilim. But what does a Nephilim doing in the Lux Veritatis stronghold? It could also be the beast from the bible. But there are two beasts, one from the water and one from the fire...

**13B.03 - Seal of Salomon**

The star of David can be seen in the room. I believe it came from the **ruined cathedral** in **Alet-les-Bains** . It is - again - a reference to the south of France and the Catharic influence on the game. Ring a bell? See **here for more information**.

> *One of the more interesting features of the ruined cathedral in Alet-les-Bains is the fact that it has stained glass windows made in the form of the “Star of David” or Hexagram. (***website**)
>
>

More information about the star of David.

> ***B**ecause of its geometric symmetry, the hexagram has been a popular symbol in many cultures from earliest times. Anthropologists claim that the triangle pointing downward represents female sexuality, and the triangle pointing upward, male sexuality; thus, their combination symbolizes unity and harmony. In alchemy, the two triangles symbolize \*"fire" and \*"water"; together, they represent the reconciliation of opposites. Some medieval alchemists even borrowed the talmudic punish mayim, fiery water, and shamayim , heaven - to demonstrate the interpenetration of the two realms. 1 Because if this symbolism, the hexagram was even used occasionally as the emblem displayed above a brandy shop. (From **here**)*

**13B.04 - Decoration**

The decoration seen in the room came from the main gate of the **church of St. Trophime in Arles**.

**13B.05 - Green man**

I think it is a green man or Bacchus figure, it has grapes around his ears. The man has horns which may a reference to a demon or diabolic creature. I found a **website** where the original can be seen. It has it description: *Bacchus, Melrose and Lake Shore Drive*.

### The Beast

There is an animation in the game, it destroys the beast statue. It is called IG\_666. Which is kind of funny because the number of the beast is 666.
