Nicely done, slayer!

I need to go back through the game for references to Elythara, both as legend and as having current worshipers.

I'd also like to map out where the churches/temples clearly refer to the Shadow or other deity, and which seem unspecified. It would be cool if terr were visible differences, in symbols, architecture, etc.

Well, except for the guy in fallhaven and the name of one legendary item, there really aren't any references to Elythara.

I've always thought that the four busts on pedestals in the entry to BWM town look identical to the bust in the guys basement on fallhaven, but nobody in BWM says anything about Elythara. Except for the hangers-on in the chamber of the magi (who specifically mention the Shadow) every other priest/mage is too preoccupied with the Kazual ritual to discuss religion. It seems like the priest (the one who keeps trying to remember the ritual) should be willing to talk about something else once you have recovered the ritual papers for the guy in the magi chamber, but his dialogue doesn't change.

Seems like there's some room in there for fleshing out the story line on the Elytharan religion, perhaps they wanted to examine the Kazual ritual for clues about how they might summon Elythara back as well?

Anyway, just goes to show how obsessed I am with AT, I think about stuff like this quite often.

In the library like basement in Fallhaven there is a statue of Elythara in the corner of the room, i believe the guy who lives there will even say something about it if you ask. ;)

I'm adding a map in one of the gaps near fallhaven that has a white cabin with light shining through a doorway. You cannot enter...at least not for a long time. Perhaps it should become a quest location involving the Mother of Light. Perhaps the Shadow priests in town should warn you away from it ... a dangerous place you should shun, because they don't want you to learn more about Elythara....

Great idea! I would love to see more Elythara related quests in the game.


I stop by that statue every time I got to Fallhaven It's the only place in Fallhaven i know of with a spot to worship Elythara. That poor city has been swallowed by the darkness, one day i hope they will see the light and error of their ways.

You just aren't dedicated enough. I haven't even left Kazual's temple in months. I pray at his alter and still the imps come they bring me presents of polished gems and rocks, but that's not what I want... :evil:

Kazual shall hear my prayers and grant my request!

All Hail Kazual!!! :twisted:

My only concern with kazual is, why does he let the imps (tiny little fairy guys) hold a rapier. It is bigger than they are haha. Maybe I could sell kazual a bunch of growth potions. For a nominal fee (or an Rol)

Hey now! It isn't the size of Kazual's imps that matter.... It's how he uses them. :lol:

Kinda off topic from where this has been headed, but I really want to see the witch turn out to be the leader or a member of some cult of the black arts (or something cool) ;)
