20:37 : It's not a big deal Nei, just wish I had thought to message you about it on the forums!
20:37 : It IS a big deal. I feel like I really F***d everything up with everyone relying on me and the faq. Plus, the same thing happened to me when I tried to do the Imago walkthrough at launch without knowing there was a Chiaroscuro ending. A lot of people who were playing along with the guide got to the end and felt like they'd missed out on the true ending because they were following my advice.
20:38 : Well they should've played without a guide then.
20:38 : No one says they had to use a guide, though.
20:38 : Jinx!
20:38 : sry, i dont really get it, u think ppl on some form are gonna be mad because u didnt know about the castle?
20:38 : The forum can get pretty intense, Hoagie. I feel like people are always trying to argue over there.
20:39 : Not you though, right? n.n;;;;;
20:39 : No! I just don't like it when people get things wrong.
20:39 : Yeah, and guess who just got a BIG thing wrong. Idk guys, I think I gotta take a break until the holidays are over. I'll make a post on the forums I guess. Sorry.

| 0:00.0 | The year is 397 BE before the end. |
| 0:08.0 | And in front of everything else, let me remind you where you are. |
| 0:14.1 | You are in the void. |
| 0:16.6 | The ather, the dragon path, the dragon way, the garish abyss that lies beneath and between |
| 0:22.4 | all perpetual things. The horizon swirls with purple and pink and orange and yellow, not |
| 0:28.8 | clouds so much as brushstrokes, a sky dotted with floating aisles, with land bridges connecting |
| 0:35.1 | some and luckily allotted ruins connecting others. It is a surrealist |
| 0:40.2 | landscape lit by nine suns, and in fact some of you have seen one of them before. Indeed, it hangs |
| 0:47.3 | fully in the air below and behind you, the iron sun of Castine, and the others are there too, |
| 0:57.0 | sinners son of fire to the west, and further on the wind sun of Zepheus, pushing the tides of the world you know and lifting |
| 1:03.0 | the vault into the air. Above it all, Lucena's divine light and deep, deep below, Caliginia's black |
| 1:10.3 | hole. The sun homes of the other gods, too, |
| 1:14.7 | dot the ether, but it's only those two that look on to your groups with interest. |
| 1:20.7 | Take two fabulous points as the villains watch on. And no, that's not quite right, because |
| 1:27.4 | there is another figure, another being watching. |
| 1:30.3 | A figure dressed in robes of the deepest blacks with little marks of color, hanging in nothing. |
| 1:39.3 | They are looking up into the many paths of the Dragon Way. |
| 1:43.3 | Their face is covered with a mask. |
| 1:45.5 | The mask is flat with a harlequin print. |
| 1:48.6 | And in nine of the checkered board tiles are eyes, eight closed tight. |
| 1:52.9 | But the top one, wide open, asymmetric, bright with excitement. |
| 1:59.2 | They have no mouth, but they make a grin with their arms |
