Episode 92: Unfinished Reverie Artifact Set

The Unfinished Reverie artifact set is found in the Faded Theater domain in Petrichor, Fontaine. Which would make you think this set is going to give you some lore on Petrichor or Remuria, but nope. It’s instead about Natlan and the insane king Och-Kan.

The Faded Theater has some lore of its own. The book collection ‘The Fall of the Faded Castle’ tells a spooky story about death appearing on the theater’s stage and taking everyone’s life as a blood-red fog spreads throughout the castle. And what’s something you always find with theater? Merch.

The merch you get – err, the artifacts – tells the story of the heroes who defeated the insane king Och-Kan. Sakkuk, the twins Attawallpa and Waskar, Yupanqui, and Manqu, aka the Masterful Craftsman with the oozy face.

The story takes place in Ochkanatlan, a mysterious area with the ruins of an even more ancient civilization. It is also known as the Cinder City and was the epicenter of the Eternal Empire. Now, if we could only figure out where it got its name from… hmm.

The ragtag group of heroes was led by the Scarlet-Eyed Hero, who was also the second Archon of Natlan. We know little about the former Archon, except they are unnamed and from the Flower-Feather Clan. And that’s exactly how they wanted it to be.

From the Astral Vulture’s Crimson Plumage bow, we learn that at the time of their death, the Scarlet-Eyed Hero asks Sakkuk to remove their name from history in hopes of inspiring others to take on their mission.

Here are some helpful links if you’re unfamiliar with the pop culture references we mentioned during the episode.
