Lore Lowdown 2 year Anniversary Stream Event

Just recalling from memory...

On the AST cards, they were actually talking about how you can find depictions of the 12 in them.
E.g. Halone is the figure in the "Spear" card.

- On the steps, they talked about how there is a missing step if you go count it and how it was decided to be "buried in the sand". There was supposed to be a subquest on knowing all the sins of Sasamo but it was never fleshed out completely and now 3.0 hit and it would be strange to go back to it....but they said they might if they get the chance to.

- On the Gladiator banner, they talked about how they came to the design...basically a flaming sword. Sword for the guild, flame due to the fact fire is one of the 2 representation on the Uldahn Scale.

I vaguely recall they were joking about the relations between Oschon and Llymraen since they both govern the sea.
- That mermaid statue in Aleport is supposed to be a depiction of Llymraen.
- That lighthouse off Costa Del Sol used to be accessible in 1.0, but no longer so due to the Cataclysm.
- The bridge in lower La' Noscea is named Bridge of the Lost?. It turned out the river was not supposed to be there in the design, dried up by the cataclysm. But the design team figured it looks really ugly without a river so they added it back. In the end they changed the lore to say the bridge means that those who crossed it to adventure tends to become lost...etc
- Bones of Saraios in Upper La Noscea is not really that monster in legend, just named by locals because they didn't know any better. Then they talked about the legend of the pair of monsters. Created to create the seas and tossed aside by the Hydaelyn when she decided there is enough water...or something like that.
- Waterfall of Fools is so named for the fools who jumped off the top of it.

Ha! I knew that wasn't Thalaos. And I'll continue to stand by the belief that Thalaos, and Perykos for that matter (even thought the myth only claims the one serpent), never existed in reality.

Then they talked about the legend of the pair of monsters. Created to create the seas and tossed aside by the Hydaelyn when she decided there is enough water...or something like that.

Wait, wait, wait. They spoke of the "pair"? Even though the game hasn't mentioned Perykos since 1.0? Odd. And you're sure they said "Hydaelyn" and not Llymlaen?


Anyway, thank you for sharing, Tymora!
