The Mysterious Chamber at the Confluence

Thank you so much!

Since this is posted in Dev+, would it be ok for us to share those images and information publicly?

As far as the audio, you guys do have a SoundCloud account.

 

Thank you @Scottie!

 

Here is the audio of @Scottie from the Telethon of the Avatar. I removed some of the surrounding audio to make this clearer, but I couldn't get rid of the background noise.

Crowns of the Obsidians by Scott Jones, from the Summer Telethon of the Avatar, Part 1 (July 27, 2016)

 

You're welcome! The seven thrones were specifically for the seven members of the Cabal of sorcerers that held court deep in the Epitaph, although it seems the Obsidian Eye had his own throne once deep in the chamber containing the Pool of Destiny, which later fell into ruin (the floor collapsing into lava) after the fall of the Obsidians, leaving only the crumbled, floorless chamber holding the stone bowl set to catch the same water that once filled the Pool of Destiny... Don't forget that there were several more thrones (4 in total) in the reception chamber at Hilt, too.... Do you know who the 13 thrones you mentioned were supposed to be for? I'm not sure, myself.... Lum might know... They may have just been a random designer fancy during decoration...

Scottie ^_^

 

I don't know, I felt like the Obsidians being an "order" would be very strict about these types of things. Not that every table had to have 7 seats at it, but the special ones would. This being Midras, I would suspect that Obsidian Chairs would be 7, not more and not less. Just wanted to bring it to your attention thinking that it was probably created by a world builder that missed the memo.

 

The Crypt of the Avatar is the one beneath Midras, which I don't think has any connection with the Obsidians (other than they conquered Midras). Perhaps the Lord Avatar who was buried there had dozen Companions which visited him when he awoke from his dirt nap. Who knows.

I thought the thirteen chairs was a callback to Charlemagne. If they are Obsidian chairs, that might be different. However, there is no reason they SHOULD be, since Midras predated the Obsidians.

 

Spoiler

The four thrones in the reception area were for the four generals of the Obsidian Army. Hilt was built as a monument to the Army initially, rather than to the Obsidian Order.

 

That's right, Jack.... The Obsidian Generals building Hilt actually pissed off some of the Cabal, and was evident of the rift growing between the two forces within the Obsidians... A presage to their downfall, if you will....

 

I believe you can share them, since we already shared that info publicly during the Telethon...

Heh! You guys know more than I do about our SoundCloud account, so I'll have to look into that and see what I can do... (I'm a bit of a luddite at heart, you know... I literally recorded my recent attempt I was going to try to post in our echoing elevator shaft here at work on my iPhone... ^_^) At least, for now, Jayson uploaded what I said during the Telethon here for you... Thanks Browncoat Jayson!!!!

Scottie ^_^
