That's it! That exaplins the whole thing with Rurik's little brother and Devona's cousin. All that's left is exactly what the chaos gem is and how it ended up with Gwen. Though I imagine that something will happen to link it to her broken flute, like maybe its properties got transfered to the gem by taking a direct hit from the searing. And more than likely the tapestry shred will activate its power...

People that seeked Council with Glint but failed because they weren't strong enough. If you actually read the dialogue of the Character in the outpost, The Facets are there to Test those that seek her council because only the best and strongest are deserving of her knowledge.

Those obviously weren't strong enough..

Thats how I take it...You know that alot of people TRY to ascend and have audiences with Glint...

Yes, a lot of people try to ascend, and yes, the facets are there to test them, but... how did a couple of Ascalon guards get there, is the question?

DarthLasing · Aug 11, 2006, 02:23 AM // 02:23

I may think that the ascalonian soldiers are there because they we're to help dwayna mhenlo etc etc to glint. We don't know if there ascended or not, but they probably are to reach the lair.

Ok, here is my simple theory about that.

Prophecy characters are ascolonian, considered to be soldiers by both the King and Prince Rurik (see beginning of the game cut scenes and the long speech by Prince Rurik when you win the PvP battle when you want to leave Pre-seering).

So its people like us who have come from Ascolon who have run to Sanctum Cay (been chosen by the eye - just like you did) and crossed the desert. They have completed the Elonian tasks and have beaten their doppleganger. They decided to go and prove themselves by taking on Glint. Glint however, saw the faces of the true chosen, and upon seeing how far these ascolonian warriors have gotten, Glint decided to put an end to this foolishness. You many wonder why did you not get sacrificed by the Mantel when you were declared chosen by the eye, or maybe not.

I don't know how long the prophecies have been around, but my guess is, others who have been "chosen" have tried to fullfill these prophecies, but Glint, in her wisdom decided that these others were not the ones whom she saw in her vision. So to make sure they did not change the world as she saw it in her vision, she came down herself to one of the facits and smited the other "chosen" down.

Well that's my theory.

They are the corpses of players who didnt skip the cutscenes, usually they had a minion master in their group, but not allways.

Sir fredman · Aug 17, 2006, 09:00 PM // 21:00

lol ^ axe your funny

Lethorn Maeran · Aug 26, 2006, 10:23 AM // 10:23

I believe the corpses are there for the MM to exploit for minions...nothing in that area leaves a corpse...i think..^^

Blind Rage · Aug 26, 2006, 01:14 PM // 13:14

they forgot to floss.

Ristaron · Aug 28, 2006, 06:33 AM // 06:33

They're the wammos who found the necromancer's Desecrate Enchantments spell defeated their mending... and stubbornly continued anyways.

Addone_Abaddon · Aug 31, 2006, 10:57 PM // 22:57

lol, glint scatters the floor with bodies to scare people, but it's huge advantage against the necromancers, well of blood, bone minions and so on.

Sam Stormwind · Sep 04, 2006, 01:39 PM // 13:39

I have never noticed these before. Has anyone got a screenshot ?

Tide to Go · Jan 24, 2007, 05:00 AM // 05:00

wow very old thread, but i got to say, might be a hidden war. Could be trying to capture glint finding out what she did(i dont know what she did)but failed to pass her guards.

Ah, but before you get given the Eye, you have to go cleanse yourself in some mystic fountain to make yourself worthy. And what does the Eye do to non-chosen? It knocks them right off their feet.

I'd guess that what's essentially happened is that part of the point of the fountain is to protect the bather from what the Eye of Janthir normally does to non-Chosen. So when you aren't knocked off your feet, the Mantle assume it's because you've been 'cleansed' by the fountain rather than because you're Chosen.

Essentially, the fact that you've bathed in the fountain acts as camouflage to hide the fact that you're also Chosen.

Old news. Don't clog a lore forum with crap like "glint's dinner"...
They are chosen I believe.

I don't know what you mean about a hidden war. Your post doesn't make any sense. You didn't have to revive this thread either.
