The sword of time pierces all but how does it fall and stand still at the same time
Look again. It says “Brace yourself for its fall”, but its not in past tense. Which could mean it hasnt fallen yet, but you must brace yourself when it does…

Also, despite 11 in the past referring to Freedrock when the unknowns were a thing, the only link to time we have is Blasted Rock, right?
Very unlikely that Tech was hinting at King Ceasar being resurected by a curse (btw there was around 1 out of 510 000 000 000 chances that the curse lands on him)
But wasnt it stated that its related to something we’ll see later in the main story?
Though… it could just be an event similar to what happened to King Caesar, but nothing to do with time
Okay, basic explanation for those, who is the first time here. Its been a while since Tech’s riddles were published, but they were laying unsolved.
Today, first of the riddles was confirmed to be solved. It was discussed in other topic, because that riddle was off-forum. The second riddle is actually from this topic, so thats why we are moving here to not dump 3rd riddle’s topic.
Alright, just looking at this riddle off the top of my head, I’d assume the “golden ichor of long past, do your best to make it last” is in referral to the gods creating legacies to invoke their will long after they are gone
Where are we starting
We gonna try and link it to Riddle 1 yet or?
Not yet. Too early. We need to get base before trying to bind it to something. Otherwise we could get into the situation, where we circle around wrong idea without knowing that.
I have already made first document today and sent it to Tech. Waitting for answer.
Okay… I’m gonna go look at my older theories for this one.
how the hell do you make documents so fast
do we know where our closest confirmed guess is? I mean we could work off scratch but I’d assume it’d be easier to have smth.
Well, I had base for this one long ago and it wasn’t fully hopeless. So I just swapped some lines and used it again. It is rarely when I change full information in the document.
Nope.
I will send my latest document here after getting confirmation. Unless it is fully wrong.
Firstly I want to remind everyone that this is the riddle which appeared in Tobi’s trailer. Whether that was of Tobi’s choice or advice by tech, I don’t know. The first line of the riddle appears after a lightning strike in the trailer. This I believe is intentional for the sole reason that the same lightning strike appears in both AO pre release trailers, along with the background of the riddle.
“Golden Ichor of long past”
- Clearly this is referring to people with the Blood of Gods. We know the Order is likely looking for people with this for their plans.
“Do your best to make it last”
- I still can’t quite tell whether this is a command to preserve the Ichor, or a command to the Ichor to make something else last
“Fire the furnace that burns still”
- Okay perhaps this is just a generic fuel the fire and it burns sort of line. The AOMC is the fuel.
“even if you have to inherit its will”
- This line I have very little clue about. What if rather than us being the fuel, we’re the furnace itself. We are the Strongest Will of all Legacies, after all. Or our will is the one we inherited from the furnace.
“the sword of time pierces all”
- Inevitability
- Nobody can escape the inevitable
“brace yourself for its fall”
- The event foreshadowed by this riddle will happen. Not now, but eventually. The time will come.
“Those who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind”
Aesir is sowing the wind. They shall reap the whirlwind. The whirlwind is their plan. As Calvus said, the whole plot with the Death Curse is only to strengthen Aesir. The other High Lords are up to something.
We are the seeds.
I think this riddle is hinting at the more major AO storyline, rather than Riddle 1 which is important, but not until we’ve looked into it with the context of the other riddles more.
I have a bit different thoughts, but I am not ready to explain everything until I get to know if they are true or not.
The fact about trailers is pretty interesting. I can also semi-agree with the meaning of last line about sowing the wind.
Yeah, same.
I am afraid that after combinning 1st riddle with 2nd, we will have to solve some abstract puzzle based on characters morales and etc. (And it seems like 3rd riddle is right about that, but there is something other I am talking about…)
i think the second riddle is main story points
- we are a legacy (golden ichor of long past do your best to make it last)
- we are putting the war seas into chaos again (fire the furnace that burns still, even if you have to inherit its will)
3 and 4 would need to be guessed
maybe since gods can exist after death in the form of souls, prometheus since he was the god of fire?
inherit the godly will of prometheus is my guess here
Wait a minute,
“The strongest will of all legacies”
What if that isn’t referring to willpower, but instead it’s referring to we have the most promise of carrying out the tasks the god we are descended from wants us too.
So not will as in determination
But will as in post-Mortem effect
This is interesting…
