Hmmm.jpg
Last night was rolling along too quickly for me to process everything honestly. Was too busy working on translating the Latin like the rest of ya. So I took a slower walk through again today. I did not even notice last night that whatever is going on mortal enemies hanging out together (ie Juka/Meer and Ophids/Terathans) and even seems to have drug a Yomatsu Elder from his cave.

So I started working more of the Latin... This is what I have come up with so far.

Fully Debauched Dryads:
We are of one mind
Now I know what love (is)


Shadow of Flavius Dro'mund:
Do not disturb my circles.
No one provokes me with impunity!!
we hang from the beginning and the end of spring
for one already considered as born, to be born, how often the interest is in question !!
we depend on the Prohibition!


Anyone else catch other phrases that I have missed?

I found one phrase that shadow of flavius dro'mund says that is incomplete. "Nitimur in vetitum"

This is only part of the full phrase which is "nitimur in vetitum semper, cupimusque negata"

Translated it says: "We are ever striving what is forbidden, and coveting what is denied us."

Variant translation: "We hunt for the things unlawful with swift feet, as if forbidden joys were only sweet."

Hmmmmm... something tells me we probably need to cue up that generic porn music as we proceed along this story line... :devil:

Don't want to miss the trash talking Daemonic Herald of Corruption outside the cave. Thankfully, he doesn't rant in Latin!

You have no quarter here.
You are not welcome here!
Nothing awaits you inside but your doom... your DOOM!
Off with you puny insects!
Enter and you shall die!
How ignorant to think you own this tiny little cave, you are in the presense of the Corruptor!
DOOM!
You are beyond your depth!
You are nothing before the ravages of the Corruptor, be gone mortals!

For we dumb folks (like me) can we do this and not worry about translating?

Yeah... that dude there has been spending time in Gen Chat and has hit 120 trash talk :D

Shoot man.. my dumb butt figured out the translating. Google Translate made it easy. Then googling the Latin was beneficial as well. Can't really make it through the arc without doing some slight research though.

Where is this place in your photo? Thanks.
It is found by doing the self paced event that starts in the courtyard of Blackthorn's Castle. Once you get close to the end you will run across the area.
but if you are just asking so you can visit it without worrying about doing the arc
it is one of two places you will find in KiRin Pass in Ilsh


I just wonder if this Corruptor has brokered peace between the Meer/Juka etc or if these are just individual ones who have left their homes and races behind to follow him. I kind of think it is the latter of those two. While the Meer and Juka would possibly be able to find a peace one day I can not see the Ophids and Terathans ever giving up their war. Way too much blood has been shed between them. But what do I know *shrugs*

Ohhh... and the Goats.. wth is up with the goats? All kinds of sacrificial Goats in the pic then the two bad ass Goats in the last place you visit? I doubt anyone is picking those two rascals up and putting them on an altar... or.... (and this is gonna get weird here)... are the two "Favorite" Goats the ones Flavius gets his freaky deaky on with... :eek:

Since I always miss the Thursday nite EM events, thought it would be neat to participate in one that was self paced.

Alas, it appears this is wayyyyy over my head. Spent few hours yesterday, and again this morning trying to figure out where to go
after easily enough figuring out to go where the Shadow Of Flavius is. Wrote down all the Latin, translated it, made, what I
thought were good guesses where to go next. But came up with nothing.

One thing that does not help at all, is clues all over the realm for OLD em events.

Glad I can at least read about it though :)

If you made it to the Shadow of Flavius that is the end for now.

So see.. it was nowhere near over your head at all :)

Since I always miss the Thursday nite EM events
This week events are on Wed and Thurs night. Both at 8pm. Maybe you can make the Wed one. He seems to have been mixing up the nights for the events a little.

The phoenix sends you to the statue/dryad west brit fields, but when I get there nothing seems to happen, what are you supposed to say/do there to get going? I know where the chain ends up but I'm assuming I have to actually do the quest.

Once you get to the farm where the guy is... just say Hello to him.. and go from there.

Ah I had missed Horton altogether, however, then going North to the shrine/dryad... still nothing happens there can't interact with any of it?
The corrupted dryad speaks... but that is not the important thing in the area.

Just a slight hint there.. but if you really want it:

The Ominous statue has a Latin phrase on it. Google that (it actually auto fills shortly into typing it out if you have that active). Once you Google that phrase you will get the rest of the phrase to say to the Dryad... but.. need to say in Latin

Thanks, I got through as far as the cave outside Weald, which I believe is the end for now.

Thanks for posting up all of this info @Kylie Kinslayer - I checked it out myself last night and thought this was one of the better self-paced storylines / events that I had seen. Bravo to @EM_Bennu as well.

You are welcome man...

I have only been around (this time lol) for his last two self paced ones (this one and the "code" you needed for Sheon) both of them were fun and not so hard to solve it made folks frustrated and give up... but was hard enough to challenge most everyone a little. He did hit a very nice balance on them both imo.
