Gonna take another shot in the dark and say it’s referring to the Absorption Curse.
The lines represent the eras of humanity it has and will impact, which are the 2nd Era (Age of Magic Discovery), 3rd Era (Age of the Seven Seas), and the 4th Era (The Age where Arcane Odyssey takes place in.)
The blotch refers to the curse, and the circle’s dot represents the ground zero of The Fracture that caused the Dark Sea and magic pollution around the whole world, that was all caused by Acheron using the Absorption Curse’s full power.
The Pandora’s box refers to the harm the Absorption Curse has brought onto the world by Acheron’s doings, but also hope because now that Acheron has been defeated, and his curse claimed by the Peacekeeper, there is hope that the curses that have plagued humanity and caused countless wars will be destroyed once and for all with it.
now of course there isnt any hope for that island, so why am i guessing this when Pandora’s box means ‘‘a source of misfortune and great troubles, but holding hope’’? Well, there’s an alternative meaning! ‘‘A present which seems valuable, but in reality is a curse.’’.
The present would be Ravenna’s victory, but it turns out to be a curse as you can very clearly see what happened at the island.
In some versions of the myth, Epimetheus ‘‘Hindsight’’ opens the box instead.
This seems really interesting, no?
The ravennan forces only understood what had happened after the event happened. Sounds close to the definition, no??
Hey, what if it’s just a treasure chest being Poorly drawn, the lines being the walls, the arrow being the direction at where you have to open, the stain being the contents and the circle thing being the galleons?
dawn island is the place at which the player washes up
they bring tremendous consequences, for example the deaths of multiple order members and a whole war, but also a miracle of hope such as them aiding nilah in the samerian-keraxe war, poseidon also said as such to the player
dawn island is also something reminiscent of the map thing
3 walls, 1 ‘port’ at where the player washes ashore
dawn island also has a secret spot with chests, what could be the circle thing, but I’m not sure whether there’s the entrance or not
That’s why I’m booting Roblox up rn to check
So that means the treasure should be in the area where the player washes ashore
it could also be fort thalos, being the entrance is where the player enters, the circle is the next ‘objective’ because from the sky/map’s perspective, you have to go ‘clockwise’ during the story
or shell, with the entrance being the secret, the circle thing being the small box you cant interact with but is needed for that one shell island quest, and the stain in the middle being the giant cooking pot in the middle
If you visit Cedar Arch before Blackreach, you won’t have a clue as to what it means, but you’ll eventually learn that it’s a map of the labyrinth, meaning that it’s a pandora’s box in both ways:
You do not know what it means until later on
It’s a misfortune that will eventually provide hope
Coincidentally, Cedar Arch is also the only island with terrain issues, has a hole in its center that leads to the labyrinth’s map, and is more of a match to the linear shapes than most other islands in game.
Of course, this is all a stretch, but I’m just sharing thoughts in hopes that someone finds something from them.
. at that place Morden earned a curse also you learn a terrible truth.
