What are the full names of souls trapped in The Artifacts of Power?

[TheUltimateSushi]

Sarek, Katrine and... Ronaldine Huna?

The last one is interesting. I hope you don't mind me asking, but what pointed you to that direction?

I had to play through Trine 3 book level to see what names we have there. It seems that we used Sarek, Trine and Rona. But I'll admit that I have seen an another version of Trine's name somewhere (and Rona's). Can't just quite remember where! D:

Dwarfs were calling them diffrent. Z'rek, K'Trine and R'Huna. You can read this one level before. (In the place where you encounter monster-books for the first time.) The reason I'm asking about this is because I'm the creator of Trine Wiki Polska (polish trine universe wiki of fandom) and since many people ignore or misunderstoods Trine series storyline and characters identities, I want to make pages about these aspects of trine universe games as much mistakeless as possible. For now this Wiki is very small, but when I reach 25 articles, I will be able to ask Community Center for promotion and support, so I won't be the only person, that takes care about this project.

So... Back to the topic.
My way of thinking was the following: Z'rek is probably only a matter of dwarven accent. K'trine may mean that, Trine is a moniker of Katrine. And about Rona... Dwarfs call her R'Huna, but Trine introduces her as Rona, so I doubt that her name is Erhuna. Rather this "Huna" part is her second name. There's a male name Ron, which is a shortcut from Ronald. So Rona would probably be a shortcut from Ronaldine/a.

Am I wrong or correct?

Rona isn't always a nickname of Ronaldine/a - actually I'd say it was more common as a standalone name! I know it comes up a lot in Scottish and Celtic backgrounds, but apparently it also gets used by Hebrew and Scandinavian backgrounds. Personally I've never heard of anyone called Ronaldine (they may exist though), and I definitely know of people called Rona with it not being a nickname.

To me, R'huna just sounds like a slightly more elaborate dwarven corruption of Rona than Z'rek is of Sarek and K'trine is of Katrine.

Rona -> Runa (o and u are similar vowel sounds in english when the u is an oo) -> Rhuna (h is a pretty negligible sound)

I'm not a dev ofc, but nobody else has a surname in the Trine games, so I'm inclined to think It's just Sarek/Z'rek, Katrine/K'trine and Rona/R'huna.

Actually coming to this thread I have a few questions about the storylines of the games, I think it will be interesting to discuss for the people who really carefully read and listen to the dialogue.

First, when we meet Sarek at the Astral Academy he says that he's been torn apart for a thousand years, but in the first Trine he looks pretty much in something like a corporeal form, and we capture him when we unite the three artefacts. I know the heroes are immortal, but is really the time gap between the games so big?

Also, do Rosabel and Isabel have a connection to the Old King who was driven mad by Sarek? Is he their father? That would explain how Rosabel knew about The Artifact of Souls. This could be just a wall of rubbish but I love connecting things like that in my head, it makes for a much more interesting story. :D

This is a bit embarrassing as I have actually played the game for over 1000 hours, and I still couldn't remember if these names were in the game or just in our archives. So thanks for the reminder.

This is actually a thread for our writer. Unfortunately she's currently enjoying the summer somewhere and will be back in a couple of weeks. Talk about timing, eh? I'll make sure to link this thread to her as soon as she is back. I don't think that we currently have other people here who'd be able to answer your great questions.

But feel free to keep this conversation alive in the meanwhile. I'm personally enjoying your posts quite much! :)

And now hear me out.

There's no 1000 years gaps between Trine games! Srsly, TheraNord? -_-

Anyway, let me put this that way:
*Katrine has the power to unite souls, ressurect them and balance other Artifact Prisoners powers.
*Rona has the power to bring to life dead objects. And she do not have as strong will as her sister, so without her help, she's convicted to be a Sarek's marionette.
*And Sarek has the power to posses people.

I think existance of these Artifacts wasn't such a secret, since Zoya had heard about one of them. Old King could get some knowlege about them reading books about history of magic or something like that. And most probably this knowledge filled him with greed for The Artifacts.
I believe he perfomated some sort of ritual to contact with Sarek's soul. And it gave him opportunity to posses the Old King.

Sarek connected his soul with king's soul, making himself able to posses other people manifistating his power through soul that was not imprissoned in any Artifact. So he used his powers to steal his own Artifact and Rona's Artifact. Rona created for him an army of undead and made king's body the Undead Lord.

Rosabel and Isabel are descendants of an elvish civilization and have nothing to do with Sarek. They may just heard about The Artifacts, because... why not? As I told you, I don't think it was that much of a secret. And Sarek was imprisoned in The Artifacts, so how could he possibly make any woman pregnant? However...

Isabel's and Rosabel's mother may have performed a similar ritual to the king's in similar time or (hick!) in exactly the same moment. But she did that rather because she was sterile and she highly desired to have children. Now, heading to this vid I linked... Sarek tells us that part of him was trapped in The Artifact of Soul. Artifacts seem to me as almost the same as horcruxes from Harry Potter. If so...

*Artifact of Soul contains: 50% of Katrine, 25% of Rona & 25% of Sarek
*Artifact of Body contains: 50% of Rona, 25% of Katrine & 25% of Sarek
*Artifact of Mind contains: 50% of Sarek, 25% of Rona & 25% of Katrine

Mother of Isabel and Rosabel by contacting with The Artifact of Mind could make herself pregnant. Esspecially since the Artifacts Prisoners are both genders. Rosabel and Isabel discovered and developed their powers when they were VERY YOUNG, what could possibly confirmed that theory. Going forward with that, we could assume that Rosabel got her powers from Sarek, and Isabel from Katrine and Rona. That would explain very much... Like for example why Trine cared about Isabel and tooked Three Heroes to this fallen kingdom at all.

Because if that's not true, then Trine 2 is not connected to the other parts of series in praticly any way. It's like - a random adventure then. And I don't think Trine would waste our Heroes' time for something random. But saving her half-stepdaughter... it's a completly diffrent matter.

[TheraNord]

Yeah, the thousand years gap was a bit of a far fetch. :D

I just thought of it like that because he says that he was torn apart for so long and yet we see him in the first Trine. I was mistaken, it seems I have forgotten about the bit in that book where it's said his spirit stole the remaining artefacts, so thanks for that.

Now, I've had theories about the characters but none were so indepth! And I feel rather stupid for not comparing the Artefacts to the Horcruxes ( a massive HP fan here ) when they both are vessels for souls. Damn, I'll be thinking it over all night! :D

Now everything is amazing and the ritual with the mother, and Isabel being Trine's half-stepdaughter is actually blowing my mind.
Rosabel getting Sarek's mind control powers would explain how she gained control over that dragon, she even says this during the battle if I remember correctly:

"His will is bound to my will! His strength to my strength!"

That theory might actually be valid! :O

I have one question though, how did you come to the conclusion that Isabel and Rosabel are descendants of an elvish civilisation? Because apart from the elvish ruins in the background in the Forlorn Wilderness I don't think I saw much more from the elves. And the sisters don't look very elvish to me. Unless they're just elf-bloods, probably a grandparent of theirs was elven?

Also sorry if I'm a bit misinformed, it's been a while since I last read the letters and books in any of the games, I sure as hell will now! :)

Marjut directed me here (and greetings from monsoon summer Finland by the way.)

Y'all have had such a great time talking with one another here, I really didn't want to intervene.

One thing though - if you read the books in the Astral Academy in Trine 3, you'll see that the Old King changed his name to Sarek out of the blue and went a bit eccentric and then a bit dead etc, and it is the spectral king you see in Trine, not Sarek himself. I hope that clears things up!

Nope. It does not. :P I already knew this. I'm more intrested in things that are not told directly. Like did the Old King gone mad and THINK he is Sarek OR was in some way possesed by Sarek. Was Sarek controlling Old King's actions in any way.
