why did bro have to necrobump
yellow spirit energy paladin imbue thats why
The last paragraph of the riddle is from top gear patagonia special
oh I thought it was from the Bible lol
Bro what
Hehe
@PinkButterflyGaming got me thinking about using the first riddle with this text
If the lines sync up with the positioning, I always thought it was weird 7 - 3 was flipped on its side, but with some thinking, I got around to maybe figuring out how I could implement the numbers, so I decided âoh hey! What if it corresponds to how the Olympians were born in order?â
That leads to this (I stole it from the internet)
The questionable nature of Quora and all the data being analyzed by a bot aside, isnât it a nice little coinkidink that Daddy Zeus sits at #7? (I double checked the birth order, so yes the bot is most likely correct. Yay robots!)
So I think 7 - 3 being flipped is showing that 7 is descending, like in the AO MC is descended from Zeus (pretty much confirmed by the Eagle Patrimony). No idea what it means as a whole with the 3 involved, as the commonality just ends up being the children of Rhea and Kronos (Hestia aside, my girl does not get much representation ). Maybe it signals there being other descendants notable to the story?
If maybe some of these ramblings are correct, I think that itâll also tie to the last part of the riddle, â7 is coming home/Those who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwindâ
Thoughts on this were mostly âactions have consequences and stuff, but with the information above maybe it means AO MC ends up going to the sunken ruins of Mount Olympus, their âhomeâ in a sense, and obtains some godly power through their heritage, artifacts, etc., maybe even some of Zeusâs power (Zeus is the god of the sky, but yes, I know Aeolus is the master of the winds, thatâs another can of worms). I thought it was weird to mention that the War Seas are where Mount Olympus was/has fallen, and not much is being addressed about it, mostly just providing a plausible background to us being legacies since gene tree shenanigans and human immigration
some part of this might not hold up tho. 1&2 being tied to Aphrodite and Hestia is questionable, although Hestia is the goddess of the hearth (fire), I would find it strange to inherit a will or fire a furnace connected with a homely goddess and a goddess of love
Likewise, 11 is coming home is strange if it would be Apollo/Artemis (grouping them cuz theyâre twins), but the line for the sword of time now makes me think that maybe weâll witness the demise of a final Olympianâs physical body
and thatâs not to say that all of this is up in the air and probably mostly wrong, considering Olympian-wise, Hades is not always considered to be one, as he presides over the Underworld and mostly is portrayed around there
thatâs all Iâm gonna go get ganked by my rival again
Well, 1 & 2 together creates 3, so I thought 3 might represents the Gods, while 1 & 2 represent Chaos and Creation (the concept of creation existed since 2019, so it fits)
But thinking abt it now, the Gods seemingly teamed up against Zeus in the War of the Gods, so it might fit the bill?
Also, abt â7 is coming homeâ⌠there was this NPC dialogue that mentions âthe rage of the godsâ, which might be foreshadowing rather than talking abt past event (Wrath of the Gods)
Unless⌠if we connect it to the 3rd riddle that also mentions Zeus and MCâs scension as a leader sort of counts as a symbolic return for Zeus, but idk
I did a quick search and did find that 1 represents the source of all things, while 2 represents dualities⌠so it might be Chaos and Creation? Not sure tho
Iâm sure Iâve heard this somewhere beforeâŚ
Now introducing the 11 Knowns, only 9.99 at selected retailers.!
Wait, I just remembered another theory I had, where I theorised that 7 is referring to the âsealedâ evil that will be unleashed at the storyâs ending. AO was created after the premise of WoMâs storyline ending after all.
I didnt have any solid evidence for this back then, it was pure speculation from the final line, â7 is coming homeâ, which hints at their return. But what ifâŚ
The first line is 7 - 3, is related to this riddleâs first line about Golden Ichor, which we now sort of know is referring to the Legacies of the Gods. So in a way, the 7 - 3 section is referring to the Legacies of the Gods.
And the Order believes the Legacies are the key to unlocking the seal.
In WoM, the New Greeks are hinted to be important in the storyline.
So could 3 represent the legacies being the key for 7âs downfall and key to return? Idk
wasnât the war of the Gods humans (w/ 1-2 gods) v. the rest of the Gods or am I misremembering
Lore doc updated. It was actually the Gods in a civil war and then the humans jumped on them the last minute
reread it and yeah I see now, but the civil war seemed while biased to Prometheus, still having many Gods on both sides and not entirely outmatched
The sword of time pierces all but how does it fall and stand still at the same time
Look again. It says âBrace yourself for its fallâ, but its not in past tense. Which could mean it hasnt fallen yet, but you must brace yourself when it doesâŚ
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 weâll 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 Techâs 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 riddleâs topic.
Alright, just looking at this riddle off the top of my head, Iâd assume the âgolden ichor of long past, do your best to make it lastâ is in referral to the gods creating legacies to invoke their will long after they are gone
