The Mysterious Sigil

fan-archive

Dartain says to you , “Very well, I hope you were able to find what we were looking for.”

You say to Dartain , “I believe I have. I found a tome here that seems to describe the first rune as the Rune of Oblivion. It appeared to have something to do with the Void, and as I read, it occurred to me that it might actually represent Anashti Sul herself.”

Dartain says to you , “Really? And what brought you to that conclusion?”

You say to Dartain , “It seemed that based on our research so far, each of the runes might actually represent a being. Given that she once held close ties with Rohen Theer, and the fact that she just returned from the Void recently, I believe that this rune might indicate that she is somehow tied to the prophecy.”

Dartain says to you , “Very astute. Your logic is sound, and could very well be exactly as you say. I will continue work on this rune based on your findings. What else did you discover?”

You say to Dartain , “It seems that the second one is known as the Rune of Sundering. This one is a little more difficult to figure out who might be tied to it. It seems to point to an event rather than a being – the Shattering. Perhaps it’s representative of whoever is responsible for the destruction of Luclin?”

Dartain says to you , “Perhaps, but I think this might actually be a good clue to the nature of the rings of the prophecy. Hmm… if you don’t mind, I’d like to see that tome. It will take me a little time to go through this and figure out what significance the runes carry, and how they might pertain to one another and ultimately, to the prophecy itself.”

You say to Dartain , “There was one more thing. Lord Everling had notes on another shape – one that he seemed to think might be quite significant, but that he had little information on. I am not sure what to make of it… perhaps it’s worth looking into?”

Dartain says to you , “Let me see that. Ah, this is Shissar writing. Hmm, yes, I think I’ve seen something like this before.”

You say to Dartain , “Is that so? Where?”

Dartain says to you , “When I was researching Mayong Mistmoore’s discoveries, there were a few sigils like this one that he had notes on, and was attempting to find if there was a particular significance to. Some of these were clearly just bits of the written language of the Shissar, but others were slightly different, more ornate, seemingly more important.”

You say to Dartain , “Did you research them?”

Dartain says to you , “Only far enough to discern that I couldn’t learn more about it. There didn’t seem to be anything to cross-reference with these, unlike the other sigils, which had many appearances in history. Whatever they are, they seemed to mean something only to the Shissar themselves.”

You say to Dartain , “Are they worth looking into, then?”

Dartain says to you , “Hmm… I believe so, yes. As long as I’m attempting to look into the information you’ve provided me thus far, it might be worth seeing if there’s something here to be discovered.”

You say to Dartain , “Very well, I am ready. Where should we start?”

Dartain says to you , “I think that the one who might have the most information on these sigils would be the one who discovered them in the first place – Mayong Mistmoore himself. He has had more time to be looking for the meaning to these symbols, and might have information that we can use. It’s with him that you should begin.”

You say to Al’Kabor , “The idea of rummaging through a vampire’s belongings isn’t terribly appealing, but I’ll see what I can find.”
