Rooted in Endless Change
The Empress has commissioned a series of shrines, each dedicated to one of the five elements of Wuxing philosophy. Tradition suggests that they should be arranged on the point of the star, to represent the endless cycle of change. But here, on this island, where the primal forces roil and spill forth onto the land as if they had life and agency of their own, I have devised a different proposal. I suggested to the Empress that we place each shrine atop a site whose energies nourish and compliment its associated element. Where the endless, tranquil flow of water can echo in the stones of its holy place, or the deep-rooted foundations of the earth hold fast to the stones of the reliquary. Where the raging eternal flames of the Zhou spirit burn bright, or the living wood of the tree trunks reach high toward the heavens, or the lustrous sheen of precious metals shines like an offering in the sun. If we honor the primal forces in this way, we can rest assured that the spirits of the natural world will hear our prayers, and preserve us in the turning of the coming cycles.
Just picked this page up tonight, was above the entry door to a soul trial or something. Food cart in the area of the door.
Has anyone found it on the live server?
So I noticed this morning that I'm looking at the ptr.nwdb version of this page for this lore page, and not the live version. On the ptr version, it does show the map I brought up with coordinates for the lore page. It does not show this on the live page. So apologies for any confusion, I only realized I was looking at the ptr version this morning.
I do wonder if this means the page will be available when the ptr changes are brought into the live game? I'm not familiar with how often those changes appear, but one can hope!
Again, I do apologize for any confusion about this. I'm hoping we can all find this lore page soon enough and finish off our Ebonscale lore collections.
There is a map showing on this page for me presently. It's stating coordinates of x: 8063 y: 5452, so in the Ebonscale area just west of the Brightwood/Everfall border.
I don't see a location on the map for this one.
At the spot on the map above where it shows the document, there's a stone platform and an area underneath it you can walk into. Right around the point where you are standing right under the edge of the stone platform above, there are two small circles near the ground that look like the usual interact points. I was able to interact with one of them, it has a title of 'Exit' and transports you to a spot that looks to be outside the game map and under some stairs.
I haven't been able to interact with the other interact point, but I am speculating that it is the document in question and it might be very hard/impossible to interact with. It's just a guess at this point, this other point may not be the document and something else entirely. But thought it worthwhile to report in case someone else who investigates might be able to do more with it.
@Gulox2 what location is this "weird exit". this lore document is the only one i cant find
There's a weird 'Exit' prompt right at the start of the area underneath the platform in this area where you get stuck under the stairs if you use it. There's another prompt here that I can't seem to get an interact with, and I assume that is this document. I assume it needs to be replaced in the area where it is interactable.
anyone found this note yet?
Anyone have luck finding this page?
which soul trial?
