    Eh. Eeeeeeeh.

    As a fellow german, I think it's very thin evidence. 'Keil' is just such a common word, especially in more 'old-fashioned' settings, and the other languages lack such a connection of the terms from the Quest and the location. Unless the term used in the Quest and the name for the House of the Crooked Coin align in other languages as well, it's just as much likely as any other theory regarding what the 'wedges' might be.

    I'm taking Lore way too seriously. And I'm not sorry about that.

    It would be if the text that the Dhyata translates didn't talk about the lifestream. The "serpent" is a metaphor for the lifestream.

    So what if the "wedges" being "driven into the serpent's back" are actually literal physical devices which have been inserted into the planet to connect to and alter the flow of the lifestream? People have speculated already that the House of the Crooked Coin might be connected. With the German translation I seek to provide more evidence.


    By no means is it conclusive though and I appreciate scepticism.

    The topic of the Golden Dhyata's an older discussion that I didn't reference in full in this post.
