Personal story[edit]

Notes[edit]
- The obelisk's four walls contains the same set of runes, except mirrored two and two.
- The translation for the Orrian syllabary is as follows:
- Behold traveler,
- the glory and
- might that is
- Orr. Be it
- known that here
- in the mighty city
- of Arah, the Gods
- did walk upon
- earth, and teach
- mankind the nature of
- magic. Be it known
- that it is here
- that the brilliant
- and doomed Malchor
- carve their likenesses
- into the living stone,
- so all may behold
- their might. Let the
- Kings and Queens of
- other lands and lesser
- creatures witness our
- wonders and cry out in
- astonishment and humble
- themselves. Beware our
- mighry[sic] works. Let this
- marker last an eternity.
Trivia[edit]
- The text is a reference to the sonnet Ozymandias.
