	The Chamber of the Dead is most likely an allusion to King Arthur's Cave, associated with King Vortigern, who is related to stories of Merlin and married the daughter the [[Castle Anwyn#Behind The Scenes\|Roman Emperor Maximus]]. It is an [[ICE age\|"ice age"]] cave that contains the bones of extinct animals such as the [[wooly mammoth]], and supposedly once contained the skeleton of a giant. This is implied by being in the [[Greater ice giant\|ice giant]] and [[frost giant]] hunting area, where the [[snow crone]]s would refer to Lorminstra appearing to Ardo as an "old crone", which is the [[Terate#(C) Mythological Subtext\|loathly lady]] archetype that launches the Grail quest in stories of Perceval. The nearby thermal spring with green water probably refers to the Roman baths at Bath near Wales, associated with the Celtic goddess Sulis who [[Castle Anwyn#Behind The Scenes\|etymological speculations]] have suggested means [[Eye of the Drake\|"the Eye."]]		The Chamber of the Dead is most likely an allusion to King Arthur's Cave, associated with King Vortigern, who is related to stories of Merlin and married the daughter of the [[Castle Anwyn#Behind The Scenes\|Roman Emperor Maximus]].

	The ice sarcophagus is an immediate allusion to the [[The Legend of the Necropolis of Etrevion\|"sarcophagus"]] of [[Bandur Etrevion#Behind The Scenes\|Bandur Etrevion]], which symbolized Satan frozen in the Ninth Circle of Dante's "Inferno." The [[Eye of the Drake]] on Mount Aenatumgana is an allusion to God appearing as "circles" of rainbows reflecting off each other breathing with fire, which Dante witnesses after being enveloped with light and understands it is the love that moves the sun and stars. The phrase "joyful transfiguration" might be an allusion to "The Rainbow Creed" (1875): ''"O joyful descent into Hell! thrice joyful transfiguration, and most glorious ascension, infinite as God, yet more incomprehensible than Evil!"'' More generally, the transfiguration refers to Jesus shining as the sun on the mountain before the crucifixion, where the Divine Comedy is timed for Easter and patterned virtues and vices on the transfigurations of Ovid's "Metamorpheses." Joseph of Arimathea was the one who buried Jesus, founding [[Castle Anwyn#Behind The Scenes\|Glastonbury Abbey]], and the shroud is related to the Chapel Perilous.

The phrase "joyful transfiguration" also appears in "Lohengrin", Richard Wagner's opera about the son of Parzival from Wolfram von Eschanbach's version, which like his "Parsifal" is a Holy Grail opera. This scene features knights facing in the compass directions, an allusion to the Book of Revelation quoted in the [[Eye of the Drake\|orb loresong]], and refers to the silence of God which is the theme of Bergman's "The Seventh Seal" where the knight plays chess with Death. The relevance of that would be the chess games in the dream vision subtexts underlying Castle Anwyn and possibly "Through the Looking Glass" as well. More generally, the transfiguration refers to Jesus shining as the sun on the mountain before the crucifixion, where the Divine Comedy is timed for Easter and patterned virtues and vices on the transfigurations of Ovid's "Metamorpheses."

	"The body here is that of [[Ardo]], husband of [[Belle]], whom you may have met at the Trading Post.

	"Long ago, those from another plane of existence watched, and plotted their conquer of [[Elanthia]]." The Vvrael were first discovered by the [[Faendryl]], Daephron Illian. He quickly realized that the [[Vvrael]] were a threat to our world, and he managed to cast an extremely powerful spell, to contain them. He contained the Vvrael in a box, using his own life force and blood to bind it. He then disappeared into the mists of time. Eventually, his workshop and any memory of him and knowledge of the Vvrael faded. This could have been the end of the story. Many centuries later, the [[Faendryl]], as you may know, were trying to reconcile themselves with the rest of the Elven houses. The [[Faendryl]] sent gifts to the Ashrim, among them, the box belonging to Daephron Illian. The box was given to a fellow named Malaphor, who was an advisor of the Ashrim Prince. Malaphor eventually fled, taking the box with him, after an attack on the Ashrim. Naturally, Malaphor was interested in the secrets of the box. The [[Vvrael]] knew this. They watched as Malaphor managed to find Illian from the mists of time. They quickly disposed of Malaphor, wanting Illian for themselves, so the box could finally be opened."

	"The story then moves on, to [[Wehnimer's Landing]], where the ghost of Malaphor appeared to folks, and asked them to remember three things. Those three things were the babe, the box, and the key. The [[Vvrael]] wanted the box and sent a Dark Knight to fight on their behalf. Adventurers eventually defeated the dark knight the [[Vvrael]] had sent, and handed the box to the babe. The babe was Daephron Illian. He made himself known, and intended to issue two warnings. He warned them of the [[Vvrael]], but died before he could issue the second warning.

	"Thirteen were chosen by [[Lorminstra]] herself, but one of the chosen had been taken by the [[Vvrael]] already. In the year of 5097, a fellow named Terate first appeared. He brought with him death and destruction. He was, at first, thought to be a tool of the [[Vvrael]], another they had corrupted. Eventually, it was realized that Terate, the Prince of [[Anwyn]], was the fourth chosen, the one who had been lost to the [[Vvrael]] a year before. Terate was an enemy, a pawn of the [[Vvrael]]. However, he was a mystery to many people. Although he killed many, and appeared to be evil, he would occasionally converse with folks, displaying small parts of his former self. Because of this, many folks felt he was not truly lost."		"Thirteen were chosen by [[Lorminstra]] herself, but one of the chosen had been taken by the Vvrael already.

	"This is where the story of Ardo begins. [[Lorminstra]] told the chosen that at the top of [[Mount Aenatumgana]], there existed a shrine to the Drakes. She believed this shrine was a key to defeating the [[Vvrael]]. She also told them of six stones that must be found, in order to open the shrine. A journal entry was found, believed to belong to Ardo. It explained he met an old crone while resting in a cave. He felt she was hungry, so shared his food with her. She said she felt he was noble. Then, before his eyes she turned into a younger person. The young lass told him that the world was facing great peril. She told him of 13 chosen folks, and asked him to go to [[Icemule Trace]] to collect the 13, and guide them to the top of the [[Mountain Aenatumgana]]. She told him of the stones, but when he probed, she vanished. He intended to go to see his wife Belle, and then proceed to [[Icemule Trace]] to find the chosen. Ardo never managed to complete his task. [[Lorminstra]] herself feared that he had been claimed by Terate. She feared for his soul. [[Lorminstra]] was unable to see clearly what had happened to Ardo because of the great flux of power. The search for the stones continued, and adventurers had to be sure that none of the stones fell into the hands of Terate. The chosen eventually found themselves in Pinefar, battles continued, and people were despairing. The [[Vvrael]] were tormenting people, claiming they were almost through the veil. On their travels, the adventurers came across an ice cave, here they discovered the slain body of Ardo. In his hands, he was clutching the pin that rests here now, a gift for his wife, Belle. Quite remarkably, one of the six stones of virtue was found in the ice cave. Four stones had been found. A lass found the fifth. Then, the unthinkable happened. That fifth stone was handed to Terate. Perhaps the lass was blinded by love? Eventually, the final stone was found in [[Icemule Trace]]."		"This is where the story of Ardo begins.

⚫	"The chosen, along with Terate, found their way to the shrine [[Lorminstra]] had spoken of. They used their stones to gain entrance. Then, shockingly, Terate was overcome by the Vvrael influence, and turned on everyone, including the lass who handed him a stone. They fought, and tried to convince Terate he was not lost. Eventually, the words of those around him sank in, and Terate finally filled the breach in the veil. However, in doing this, he was to sacrifice his own life. The battle stopped and the blood rain ceased. It is said, that at the moment of Terate's death, a blue light flared in the sky, and then settled among the stars. The mystery of how exactly Ardo died remains, but it is thought that the [[Vvrael]], concerned that they were closer to defeat than ever, instructed Terate to kill him. I'd like to take a moment now, to remember Ardo, and all who have lost their lives in the battle to save ours."
