Exosasa Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) During the daily [Eyes into the Past] on the Om Nom Nom'd Ziost you use a droid to rebuild GSI scans of the destroyed ruins of this temple-like complex. Upon uploading all the gathered data, you can see holos of all the history that once stood in the area. Near the back are four pillars, each with a holo-filled writing. I don't know a proper order of them, but here they are: http://imgur.com/a/8Bdfy Some things to note: - The odd line-breaking style -"Though you are away, Your eye gazes upon us, We know you see our doings," a single eye. Might I reference that the three temples are crested with an eye. Sauron/Illuminati confirmt. - The words seem to be from devout worshipers of whatever they're talking about. Assuming they're referring to the Emperor, I assume these must have been written by the Hand. However, "Though you leave us, Your humble subjects on Ziost, We know it is not forever," I do not recall the Hand being "left" on Ziost. Also, ever single rune alludes to the fact that this deity or person is far away. - "Though the distance must be great, Your return is a certainty, We know we will be united once more." United? Hmph... - After some thought, I take it this is the order: Though you leave us Your humble subjects on Ziost We know it is not forever. Though the distance must be great Your return is a certainty We know we will be united once more Though you are away Your eye gazes upon us We know you see our doings Though we are alone Your lessons remain We know our considerable duty My knowledge of Ziost's lore is null. Does anyone more enlightened than I think this could relate to Ajunta Pall or something. If this refers to Vitiate, I assume it's the Hand or some group preparing Ziost for his Om Nom Nom? - Oh, there's also a sacrificial table. EDIT: Turns out there's a codex entry I somehow forgot of... Though you leave us Your humble servants on Ziost We know it is not forever Though you are away Your eye gazes upon us We know you see our doings Though we are alone Your lessons remain We know our considerable duty Though the distance must be great Your return is a certainty We know we will be united once more As if you were never gone.

AshlaBoga Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) It refers to one of 3 individuals. A) King AdasB) Dathka GraushC) Tenebrae/Darth Vitiate Edited May 7, 2015 by AshlaBoga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAWUSS Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I don't know why it would be a reference to anyone other than Vitiate, primarily due to the grand statue (that's seated) looking quite similar to all the other statues that depict him. I have to say, that place would have been an interesting sight in it's non-destroyed state. Even as a partial holo-reconstruction that place looks impressive.

Rodyn Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Maybe it's foreshadowing for Valkorion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, this quest also straight up tells you it was a temple to the Sith Emperor (I think if you read the dialogue from the datapadd that offers it). So I would guess it's talking about Vitiate.

Darth_Wicked Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Emperor's Hand comes to mind IMO. Servant One does mention they had a "fortress" somewhere, as seen Maybe one of the neighboring temples in the area was the fortress, and those runes were a symbolic monument?

Cedia Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Perhaps Valkorian is Vitiate's descendant? Perhaps even his son? They sure do like those V names -- Vitiate, Valkorian, Vaylin... Edited July 28, 2015 by Cedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Perhaps Valkorian is Vitiate's descendant? Perhaps even his son? They sure do like those V names -- Vitiate, Valkorian, Vaylin... I sincerely doubt they're related. IMO, the Eternal Empire was most likely somewhere located INSIDE the Rishi Maze. After what transpired during the Battle of Rishi, it is likely they noticed two already weakened factions, and just chose to conquer the lot.

Darth_Wicked Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 On Yavin IV That was the Imperial Guard Academy. NOWHERE is it stated the Hand has a Fortress on Yavin 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to disagree with you, Darth Wicked, Lord Sadow had ties to Ziost. If you have forgotten the fact that this world was once the capital of our glorious Empire and that was right before the great hyperspace war, in which he fought against the Republic and the Jedi. On Ziost there was the citadel, where the seat of power for the Sith was and despite having his personal fortress on a moon of Khar Delba. Yet I am not sure if these tempels are somehow related to him. --- Greetings from a humbled servant of the mighty Wrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltarOfSacrifice Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 It seems to be a reference to the fall of Sadow's Empire and Vitiate taking over, and leading the remnants to Dromund Kaas. For instance: "Though you leave us Your humble servants on Ziost We know it is not forever" Maybe Vitiate could not bring the entire empire with him, so he had to leave many behind. Those who were left likely remained loyal and eagerly awaited Vitiate's return. "Though you are away Your eye gazes upon us We know you see our doings" Vitiate was able to monitor the events of the galaxy even before the Empire's return through infiltrators. Possibly, he used the Sith on Ziost as a way to keep in touch with the rest of the galaxy without revealing the Empire's presence. "Though we are alone Your lessons remain We know our considerable duty" The surviving Sith likely remained fiercely loyal to Vitiate even long after the Empire abandoned Ziost. "Though the distance must be great Your return is a certainty We know we will be united once more" Foreshadowing of the Empire's return and reconquest of Ziost. "As if you were never gone." More proof that the Sith see the current war as a continuation of the Great Hyperspace War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjann Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 It seems to be a reference to the fall of Sadow's Empire and Vitiate taking over, and leading the remnants to Dromund Kaas. You speak of wise words, yet we have not much information about the ending of the hyperspace war and the events in its aftermath. We see the Sith defeated and Sadow flee to Yavin. We know that Vitiate had called the remaining Lords to Nathema and started the ritual and after them being killed he lead the remaining Sith on an exodus into exil and after around 100 years (if I am not mistaken) they eventually took Dromund Kaas as their new home. I mean the Sith Empire was huge at this time (not like the one during the great galactic war, but stil many and more worlds) and I doubt that allof the Empire was part of this war. Thing is, after the defeat of the Sith the Rep and the Jedi made their way towards Sith space and while Vitiate was creating the ritual I hardly belive that he fought either the Reps or the Jedi. I therefor wonder what happened to most of the Empires population, as for he just took control of the remaining remants of the Sith fleet and of the followers of the Lords he killed on Nathema. There is never mentioned that he saved all the Empire. I guess they were just a small group compared to all the people living in th Empire. But the question remains: What did the Jedi do with them?
