Lore Update: The Moons of Agon

[Thraiax]

Once again the humble Acolytes shed some light on the tales of Agon. This week a stargazing member of the scholarly order shares her findings on the Moons of Agon. (http://www.us.darkfallonline.com/default.php?pname=MoonsAgon)

She seems very excited and convinced that her findings uncover aspects of Agon's past, present, and perhaps even a glimpse of things to come!

We hope you enjoy the read!

[Lictor]

first.
AND cool! :D

[smackyou]

nice :)

[Alberton]

Interesting

[Temko Firewing]

*I can only speculate as to what could happen at such a time. But it is my belief that before long the Eye of the Goddess shall once again turn its gaze down onto Agon! *
better not take 5+ years to introduce the actuall wordstones :sly:

good writeup :P

[Skizzix]

VERY interesting read and edge-of-you-seat foreshadowing...I am thoroughly intrigued!

PS: Excellent writing!

[Aikar Walmoor]

nice one keep it coming

[freakd]

it is about she who was promised year ago.. this is just :lmao:

[rbeck]

Very good piece of lore. It made me all tingle inside :)

[peertje]

"All of this has happened before, and will most likely, in all probability, perhaps happen again."

Yup, It's darkfall lore :D

[Xancha]

as long time player of Ultima Online word moons bring memories of moon gates and moonstones to travel between different facets and places.

[Styrr Chipatama]

Extremely interesting.
I always wondered about their names and story, can't wait to read it.

Thanks a lot for that update. <3

[Styrr Chipatama]

The three moons will clash together in 2012 and it will bring us DF2010.

actually, i'm sure their goal is 21Dec 2010 for the clash.
but due to delays the un forseen end of the world will be in march :P

[SynCaine]

Good read. It could lead to moongates + a change in the skyline, or something much greater (moon people invasion of Agon ala AC1 plot?)

I hope it doesn't lead to moon gates.

But if I recall, I remember reading somewhere they were redoing the sky/moon models, as well as the weather.

A lot of these lore updates hint at something big happening in the very near future. From the Demon in the Pal, to the Demi Gods waking again, and now even the Goddess coming back together?

The moons split into 3 when she was killed by the Usurpers, so... we'll see I suppose.

[Arquiteto]

"All of this has happened before, and will most likely, in all probability, perhaps happen again."

Yup, It's darkfall lore :D

I see what you did there and its pretty damn funny.

[Arquiteto]

Keep the lore coming.

I was never a huge fan of lore, but I must admit the darkfall lore really hooks me in and keeps me wanting more.

Good work.

[Kelsen]

Oh my... oh wow the suspense is to much. Will we perhaps see the Goddess reborn when the three moons or 3 fragments of the one true moon realign? Will the Goddess and the Watcher awake at the same time causing cataclysmic events all over agon? Will we have to choose which side to fight for? Very good lore update indeed.

"All of this has happened before, and will most likely, in all probability, perhaps happen again."

..... Battlestar Galactica

I see what you did there and its pretty damn funny.

The quote was taken from the lore update, below the name of the proposed writer.

"I have been studying the heavens for close to 37 cycles now and I have only just discovered the incredible and earth-shattering significance of the three moons to the history and, unless I am very much mistaken, the future of our world!"

So Earth exists in the world of Agon? Way to make the RP'ers hard ons turn to softies by breaking their immersion :lmao:

We have earth magic...

Earth = ground... Agon = game world

earthshattering? Like a severe earthquake...

You realize earth is a word, as well as a name? It means the ground. But good to see you have something positive to post.

^This

In Tolkien's "The Hobbit" he made reference to a noise that sounded like "an engine coming out of a tunnel".... but because he used Third-Person Omniscient perspective we never stopped to think "Wait, there's no engines in Middle Earth!"


The description is for your benefit to tether you into the world, don't try to resist it by throwing logic around :)



More on topic, excited to see if this culminates in a singular moon with a more vibrant face...

...that hopefully disappears at the horizon and not underwater :P

[Sarphus]

Let me guess... 2 more moons incomming.

Veil and Selentia

Just noting the names they made for the 3 moons and how they correspond to the types of metal in the game.

Well written story

[Rekshop]

Just trying to help out the lore writers with a little friendly proof reading. Btw, you do realize that the improper noun "earth" meaning dirt/ground only makes sense when someone is actually from Earth. ;)

Would you go on Mars and describe the soil and ground there as "earth"?

[manu80]

I dont understand - this affected to game process? or it only time what AV spending not making fixes and patches?
And btw moons are not circle and seen underwater. Maybe good point fixing this when you add some lore?

[Aroth]

This lore was a very nice and definitely a little inspiring :)

I wonder if aspects of this idea are being implemented !!! http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?p=4528174#post4528174
Would be great if so ! (but just coincidence no doubt)

As a guess the "All of this has happened before" quote probably means the Ultima Online idea however :)

Whatever it is, it will be good, it is written in the stars :)

Technically, yes, you could refer to the ground of mars as earth, but not as Earth. Savvy?

[Melkorus]

AAA article! Very nice. Smells like a prep work for some new major content. Thumbs up!

[Melkorus]

Edit to previous post:
Is there a gost moon visible currently in game? I clearly recall Neith (blue) and Leen (red/orange) moons. But I'm not sure if there is a ghost (white?) moon in game.

[Gray Fox]

I never got to read about the moons in the old Darkfall Lore Wiki, now that I did I finally understand the reason behind the names of the rare ores.

[Gray Fox]

I have found all real world references to the metals except veilron.

[Squid Cake]

I can only speculate as to what could happen at such a time. But it is my belief that before long the Eye of the Goddess shall once again turn its gaze down onto Agon!

When the moons align we all die. Game over.

[Leperface]

Awesome! I had always wondered if there was any astronomer players interested in the moons of Agon, especially since the conquer the seas expansion. An astrolabe is an astronomical tool that locates and predicts the position of the sun moon planets and stars. It would be great to have to really navigate using the stars. It would also be cool if someone could figure out the workings of these moons and program a clock! Cool that the moons are moving closer to each other. Going out on a limb here, but could this be not only the return of the eye of the goddess but maybe a return of the Nithron or an appearance of some new kind of beings? Will this eye shoot laser beams? Will we be able to travel to the new moon? Just speculating :D

What about selentine?

[OpMindcrime]

on actually making the lore easily acessible IN-game? Talk about RP immersion breaking when you have to alt/tab out to a webpage in order to learn about the world you're 'living' in....
other than that, awesome :D

Readable book inside of houses would be awesome.
It would be even better, if you could write some books and deposit them somewhere.

[Lobos GoreFang]

Lore FTW..

Nice how they mix concepts from different human cultures in there seamlessly.

but then we would have nothing but dirty word books, And alfar RA spam books..

[lovelyon]

Ok so it was a good read. Except at the begining? Earth-Shattering is Earth part of Darkfall Lore?

lol dunno if this has been mentioned later in this post but i read several replys before puttin my 2 cents in.

Anyway good read. But maybe the Story Teller needs to remeber what story he is telling.

Earth shattering has indeed been brought up, and it's been pointed out that earth is a regular now that means ground :P

[Walking Target]

Yeah, earth-shattering when taken in context generally means ground-shattering and can be used interchangeably. Note that we also have a school of magic called Earth Magic, which is the polar opposite of Air Magic. Earth in the context of darkfall refers to the matter you are standing on.
