Ruins of Thessaly

Stone First Half

Stone 1

I have heard rumours of a secret hidden in the Bluffs of Thessaly. It's not really that secluded because it's surrounded by turrets, but I'm sure you'll be fine.
▬
Level : 1 - 4 • Bluffs • Hint : Dead End

Stone 2

Apparently Menoetius' men uncovered a stone during one of their supply runs. They did not know what it was for though, so they left it in storage, forgotten amongst the boxes...
▬
Level : 1 - 2 • Shortcut through Supplies • Hint : Dead End

Stone 3

Ever been to the Fences? The path can be misleading, and a keen eye may reveal lost treasure...
▬
Level : 1 - A • Fences • Hint : Go Left

Stone 4

Thessaly was never the multiculutral hub it hoped to be. The differing ethinicities could not see eye-to-eye. Italians... Mexicans... They always fought one another for their treasures.
▬
Level : 1 - C • Unmistakable Accents • Hint : At the Start

Stone Second Half

Stone 1

On hallowed King's Road, there once sat a goat.
Now long turned to stew, but before he would gloat.
With pomp he would ask, to prove one's humility,
Before every great quest, leap backwars for clarity.
▬
Level : 1 - 1 • Down King's Road

Stone 2

There once was a giant made of stone, wood and clay.
A secret he carried form lands far away.
A treasure I'll reveal to those who are brave
Go to my back, three clicks will I cave.
▬
Level : On the Map

Stone 3

The turn to Sofia hides a nook in its road.
Unseen to the eye, two roads can be strode.
One path leads East to the sky qyu tremendous.
But North-North-West lies a road more stupendous.
▬
Level : On the Map
In the blizzard's heart, stone veins lay.
A love unrequited, two trees hide the way.
But deep in the core lies something well hidden.
A path once long lost, a secret forbidden.

Foloi Forest

Stone First Half

Stone 1

Coeus' Crystal walls have helped prevent many intruders from encroaching on his land. But beyond it the forest grows fast, and rumous say Nature itself caught up and swallowed this treasure...
▬
Level : 2 - 4 • Beyond the Wall • Hint : Go Down

Stone 2

A famous crossroad resides in Foloi Forest. Each direction leads to different lands... Except to the North. Nothing seems to be there, but nothing is where secrets are best laid hidden.
▬
Level : 2 - C • Through Brush and Blocks • Hint : Dead End

Stone 3

There is a cave around here that has long been abandoned. It was once used to test Coeus' defense systems, but they went haywire and stated to attack everything and everyone...
Now no one dares enter the cave, and the treasure it hid has been forgotten...
▬
Level : 2 - A • Gunner's Cave • Hint : At the End

Stone 4

A new army of invaders have slowly been creeping into this war. Followers of Cronus... an old Titan whose long since disappeared. I heard they set up camp just south of a treasure. They never even bothered to look.
▬
Level : 2 - B • Cronus' Foloi Expedition Force • Hint : Go Right

• My persistence paid off, and I set camp. This time the trasure was mine.
  
• I climbed down to the center to begin my journey, pressing the soft earth for luck.
  
• From above, I saw the crossroads marked 'X'.
  
• Angrily, I headed East once more.
  
• Eagerly, I dusted my hands and ventured East.
  
• I was too impatient, and somehow ended back at the start.

Stone 3

Deserts of Atlantis

Stone First Half

Stone 1

Lelantos love artifacts. It's ironic that he'd build a camp so close to one, and never find it. Perhaps the night sky obscured his view.
▬
Level : 3 - 2 • Breaking and Entering • Hint : Go Down

Stone 2

Water is rare in Atlantis. When a natural oasis was found, the Babylonians built a temple over it. But the foundation was weak, and it sank into the gound, along with all of its treasures.
▬
Level : 3 - 3 • The Oasis Temple • Hint : Dead End

Stone 3

Babylonians cherished creativity above all else. They would write challenges into stones - tests of loyalty - to prove one's worth.
Trials upon trials stone's hiding stones...
▬
Level : 3 - C • The Mirage Temple • Hint : Stone 1 & 2 Second Half

Stone 4

In Babylonian scripture, a symbol often meant many different things at once. The ability to discern the meanings was believed to be what separated the dim from the wise.
▬
Level : 3 - C • The Mirage Temple • Hint : Stone 3 Second Half

Stygian Well

Stone 1

You've found the signal, right ?
There's something deep down, near the bottom of the Well. I can feel it.
▬
Level : Gate of Styx • Hint : Beat 9000m

Equality in all things. A stone which mimics Styx beliefs ? Ironic that a stone sto blunt in its message can actually be hidden.
▬

Tartarus

Stone First Half

Stone 1

Cronus lacks creativity. He wishes to create something new, but still builds upon what already exists. Right down to the snowflakes and stones...
▬
Level : 5 - A • New Thessaly • Hint : Dead End

Stone 2

Cronus cannot see the beauty in the abstract. He creates gardens with a fist, destroying it of its natural, visual splendour.
▬
Level : 5 - G • New Foloi • Hint : Dead End

Stone 3

Cronus wishes to build a new world, but to start fresh means to deny it a history. A cultureless community.
▬
Level : 5 - T • New Babylon • Hint : Dead End

Stone 4

Cronus has no empathy. He thinks the underworld is an offense when it is a gift.
▬
Level : 5 - C • New Styx • Hint : Darker boxes

Khomli

Second Gate of Menoetius

Short-sighted. I know not a term that better describes humanity. Their desires sway to and fro like a pendulum. One century they want complete freedom, the next, they demand judicious oversight.
How many ages have we done this?
This constant arbitration is exhausting, and the Titans' patience wears thin.
Menoetius particular has become a vocal proponent for a new king. Himself. He believes our lack of decisive action show us as weak. He wants stricter rules and the end of arbitration. He uses a fist when a palm is sufficient. But for all his talk, he hides a soft side.

Secretly, he believes in the musicality of life. An importance to fill the physical AND creative side of humanity.

But I disgress... Menoetius's actions still border on treason.

Second Gate of Coeus

Dissent is spreading among us. Coeus is the third of the Great Titans to sepak of change.
He believes we should push humanity towards technology. I fear an underlying malice beneath his ideals, but his words have an allure. already he has amassed some of the brightest minds humanity has to offer. Humanity is too simple to see through his rhetoric.
He promises them powers one could never obtain.

The power to slow time ? To transmit numbers hidden amongst white noise ?

It pains me to see humanity fall prey to such sensationalism. But more dangerously, with his dissension, a splinter has formed within the Titans. Lelantos was first, and now Menoetius and Coeus have followed suit. We must re-unify. Cronus still remains a threat to us all and we cannot become lax about his possible return...

Second Gate of Lelantos

Prometheus has been slain ! The world is aimless once more. I thought the Titans would convene after this tragedy, but the appearance of the traitor Lelantos, has thrown everything into dissaray. After hiding for decades, today he has brought an army and declared war !
He has already conquered Atlantis and plans ot revive the Babylonian civiliation.
But that is impossible ! For centuries they have been mixing among the population. Unless... he actually discovered a way to find Babylonians from the masses. His so called 'Great Solution' :

A video, globally broadcast, containing a subliminal message - on that could only be deciphered by Babylonians.

Either way, it matters not. He has sent the world into chaos, and the threat of an all-out war looms.
Everything is moving too quickly. It seems I must set my own plans in motion.

Second Gate of Styx

The war continues to escalate. Titans slaying Titans, and man slaying Titans. Only Styx has remained neutral.
The Titans think she is apathetic, too lazy to even join meetings. But that is simply a guise. She believes a true judge cannot show emotion, and that is why she is the arbiter of souls. Coeus called her job a ruse. Why bother judging souls passed, if no memories are retrained in future lives ? But Styx believes differently.

'Bringin direction to the failed and fallen, will always find its way to the living.'

I know she secretly cares for those above, but for now she placates herself with those below. She acts indifferent, but she probably cares the most for humanity. She trly is an anomoly.

Second Gate of Cronus

The world is in ashes. The death of Prometheus has caused the wold to plummet into a void of war and chaos, and it is one in which we cannot climb out.
With Prometheus' passing, I knew there would be loss and great pain. But I assumed the world would eventually mend. Hundreds of years have passed, and the war continues unabated. Now only Lelantos, Coeus, Menoetius, and Styx remain. Even the long shadow cast by Cronus' potential return does nothing to dampen the violence. He has been forgotten, and the Crystal Walls created to protect us from him have been abused and ignored.
Tartarus can only hold for so long. When Cronus breaks through, can we still unite once more to stop him ? Or will he exert his will and destroy the universe ?

From the VERY beginning he will slowly unravel the world. His patience is boundless, yet he takes no commercial breaks. He is always moving.

If we cannot stop Cronus he will annihilate everything.
