Dialogue

When out of order

This is one of several mysterious stones lying around the ruins of Serenity Temple. Durmand Priory Historian Jinell believes they must be connected in some way.

Touch the stone.

A soft voice seems to emanate from the very air in the temple. "Begin with the stone that is the first to be touched by each new sun."

Find the stone from the whispered riddle.

First stone

As you lean down to touch the stone, a voice calls out from within, "Why have you entered this hallowed place? Go!"

As you back away, you hear something new.

A soft voice seems to emanate from the very air in the temple. "Find the stone in the shadow of the paean beginning with "me", and concluding with "u".

Look for the stone hinted at by the riddle.

Second stone

As you lean down to touch this stone, the same angry voice booms from within, "You must leave this place at once!"

You step back, and the whispered voice returns.

The softer voice offers, "Find the stone that rests outside the two lines which slice into the circle."

You begin your search for the next stone.

Third stone

Just as you touch this stone, it rattles with rage, "You have been warned and yet you remain? Leave now!"

Once again, the air around you hums.

The voice from the ether whispers, "You will find the next stone by the stacked objects that defy the oldest law."

Continue in your quest for the stones' secrets.

Fourth stone

As you touch this stone, the shout knocks you back, "You defile this place with your presence!"

As you back away, the whisper calls you again.

The slight voice suggests, "The next stone lies near that which descends even as it ascends."

Return to your search.

Fifth stone

You feel the bellow from with the stone vibrate your very bones, "Go now, or this will not end well for you!"

As the roar fades, you hear the softer voice.

A new riddle wafts across the air, "The penultimate stone is that which is nearest the columns tri-umphant."

You move onto the next stone.

Sixth stone

This stone rumbles with the growl, "This place shall become your tomb!"

You wait for the softer response.

You hear a hushed, "You'll find the final stone beside that which has only grown smaller since its birth."

Continue your investigation.

Final stone

A figure bursts from this final stone and roars, "And now, you die!"

You step back, prepared for anything.

Notes

• There is no special reward for solving this puzzle.
• Your progress may reset if you take too long to interact with the next stone in the sequence, or if you move away from the stone without finishing the dialogue box properly. (I.E. combat distracts you)

Bug:

Sometimes your progress is restarted regardless of your quickness.

Anomaly:

Due to the shadow cast from the hill to the east, the first stone to see the rising sun's light would be the highest one to the west, next to the stairs. Instead, the first stone in the sequence is the last one that would get the light of the rising sun, since the hill's shadow would recede from west to east, from the highest point to the lowest point.
