Kazaul shrine translation

Post by dromoz »

Hello!
I'm translating the Kazaul shrine quest into Russian.
I need some hints from developer of this quest:

1. Vial of purifying spirit
Can you give me the concrete meaning of the word 'spirit' here (long description from Webster, for example).

2. Kazaul, the Shadow spawn of red marrow.
Describe me the words 'of red marrow'.

3. Kazaul will manifest in our presence
'in our reality' or just simply 'nearby'?

Thank you.

Good questions, dromoz!

red marrow = red bone marrow. The tissue that resides in the center of all bones, for humans and animals. Bone marrow produces red blood-cells for the body.

More like 'in our reality'. Kazaul is/was a deity that some people worshiped in the older days, much like "God" is to some people. "in our presence" in this context means that Kazaul would manifest into physical form and walk among us.

Great to see the Russian translation getting some love!

Does this means, that vial contains these essence in liquid form?

I know, what is red marrow, I have red the dictionary.
My question is - what is 'of red marrow'.
Does he made of this tissue? Does he had the color of it?
I don't know, how it feels in english, but direct translation of 'spawn of red marrow' into russian sounds too... medical, may be. Could you give me more hints?

Thank you

the Marrowtaint [necklace] should be worded similar to Red Marrow, if there is no direct translation...
