Murals

Return to Prophecies, Visions, and Murals

* "The last Wards have fallen, the Day of Black Sun has come."

3. A knife The Crystaline Dagger (party has called it the ice dagger a few times, given that it's "melting")
4. A heart-shaped piece of burning coal The Fire Heart (the Elder Tree thinks that this is the only one that is sapient and can talk, proven wrong since)
5. A glowing bottle with an unreadable inscription on it The Ichor of Ages, Endless Fount, Great Fountain, Ocean Source

#### Inscriptions in an empty room, in Elven:[Check to make sure it was elven and not profane or primordial]

* "The dagger has started its melting, the Black Doors have been pried open."
* [Check for this one]
* [Check for this one]

#### Reliefs on the walls within a round room that holds the second batch of corrupted roots, Arix has to read it as it's in Undercommon/Abyssal that talk about the Wards [Check this]   There is a familiar image but there only are four elves rather than five, partly worn down and ruined, but holding a dagger, a cup, a burning heart, a sapling. There's nothing about the glowing bottle.

* Arix couldn't read all of it very well, only pieces. "A Black Sun......Eyes Red......Ascend"
* "The sisters guard the flameless chalice"
* "The Knight of the Ancient One, melts down the dagger."
* "Leviathan waits by the ocean shore."
* "Infernal machines guard the smoldering heart."
* On the ceiling above, a script possibly written by the cultists: "The day of Black Sun will come once more, long live the One who rests at the center of creation. May his slumber consume all."

#### Relief, Inscriptions [Check this for details, but I believe a few were partly worn away. The others, I couldn't hear very well]

* Fall \_\_\_\_ fell \_\_\_\_ worlds \_\_\_\_\_.
* Let none stop out Master's slumber. May our unholy \_\_\_\_\_\_
* Followed by a relief that showed a grotesque amalgamation of tentacles and organs clumped together and flanked by cultists.

#### Note [incomplete, double check]:

* "Learning war \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ are mine."

## The Chantry in the Caretaker's Tree Home, Book 4; Chapter 3; The Fate of the Traveler of the Three Wayfarers

* Depicts three figures: the Traveler with a bow, the Seeker using what the party assumed was blood magic, and then the Wanderer with a staff and her magic
* There was a small, fourth figure that appeared to be crying with the Traveler trying to comfort them.
* The next image was of the fourth figure killing the Traveler with black tentacles stabbing him through his abdomen.
* The final image was of the two remaining members crying over the Traveler's body and then of him being brought here for safekeeping.

## The Dwarven Caves Murals and the Tapestry, Book 6; Chapters 2, 3, and 4; The Creation of the Chalice and the Forges

#### Murals

* **Room 1**
	+ Murals of the dwarves and [scratched out], with the Flaming Chalice
		- There are always five dwarves in the murals of this room.
		- Mural 1: They're gathering together an anvil
		- Mural 2: They're working at the anvil together
		- Mural 3: They're holding up a cup
		- Mural 4: Unclear, but it's the dwarves with the cup and it looks like they're presenting it but the other part of the mural is scratched away.
			* When Arix and Enilasor ask the Traveler about it, he responds that Enilasor should be able to figure it out: the scratched-out piece had elves on it.
			* In this final mural, the cup has a wreath of flames around it, and you can barely make out gaps in the flame that look like a face.
			* Enilasor asks Arix, Artemis, and Morgana which Ward the Tree said might also talk.
				+ It was the Fire Heart
				+ Orestes asks for clarification after the fight against Rilerra.
* **Room 2**
	+ Mural 1: A chorus is summoned when the 5 are summoned, then there's the music of the universe
		- Orestes asks for clarification on the talking Ward after the fight against Rilerra
			* O: "You said the Tree said only one other could talk."
			* W: "Yeah?"
			* O: "Did the Tree say that definitively or was it just a theory?"
			* W: "I think he said there might be only one other that could talk."
			* Orestes goes on to explain the others.
	+ Mural 2: Each seal has something in it, but it's unclear what since part of is worn away.
	+ Mural 3: Scratched away completely. The picture and words are completely scratched off the wall.
	+ Mural 4:  2 dwarves flanking the chalice. "When ashes are two, a flame will alight that will banish the dark from the halls of the five."
		- Possibly talking about the 2 dwarves in the mural? There were two braziers in the final room where the mother was that Morgana lit to drive her away and revive the Chalice.
* **Room 3**
	+ TBA
* **Room 4**
	+ TBA

#### Tapestry

* A large tapestry that takes up most of one wall before they find the third sister.
	+ A cup with the fire in it in the center
	+ Five dwarves, each holding blacksmith's tools
	+ Four mountains beneath them that have dwarves carrying mined ore over them
	+ There is a strange forge that only Orestes and Enilasor recognize. Orestes from, presumably, his studies or exposure to the Books, and Enilasor from her mother making her read books on various subjects growing up.
		- It turns out they're actually more like alters than forges. Believed that there are only three left in the world. They were used to summon celestials, which are more like primordial energies than anything else.
		- They're like the Wards but just a little bit weaker because unlike the Wards, they're made to make things

* There's a piece torn away from one of the edges, and it's assumed that there was an image of elves there at some point.
* Enilasor gets closer and sees black tendrils shying away from the forge.
* When prompted about the locations, they learn that:
	+ One is "close to home" for Enilasor. It's not operational but it is hidden away somewhere for safekeeping. She's never seen it however.
	+ One in the Shar in the south, kingdom of the Gold Dwarves
	+ And the last is in the Silver Marches somewhere, like Luruar...with the dwarves.
* Enilasor asks Orestes what would happen if one of them were found by the Outer Gods or something.
	+ Depends:
		- If they're fully operational: Nothing
		- If they're even slightly damaged or weakened in any shape or fashion: They won't be functional anymore.

* Arix asks if they could go near them and Orestes says that it wouldn't be wise because something that can summon that kind of power would create a sort of vacuum.
	+ "All nature hates a vacuum". If something like that celestial magic leaves, something else can take its place.
