Talk:Dwayna

Umm, I just looked at one of the statues and it had a different date on the scriptures. What's the deal there? --Karlos 20:08, 22 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Errrrm ... I copied the text and I was wondering about the date myself. It makes no sense at all that a text about an event that took place in the very same year as the exodus is dated 45 years before the exodus. The date should be "1 B.E." What date did you find on the statue? --Tetris L 20:30, 22 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Ok, I think the statue you found is a fake, probably cheap Chinese replica. :) The three ones in Sardelac Sanitarium, Temple of the Ages and Druid's Overlook have.. drum roll.. 115 BE!! 115 years before the actual event. And youthought 45 was weird. :) I have no idea what's going on. Where was the statue you were quoting? --Karlos 21:42, 22 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Doh, we got a mistery here. I sense a conspiracy. Somebody call Mulder & Scully! I found the text here. --Tetris L 22:22, 22 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Well, this doesn't solve how the scriptures happened before the event, but it's an easy call. I'll change the date to the one in the game. What is in the game always takes precedence over what's in websites and what should have been in the game. --Karlos 09:10, 23 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * The incription may describe some other event long before the Exile. Humans conquered most of the Tyrian continent less than a century after they arrived, which is consistent with the 115 BE date, and in the events that lead up to the Exile, Doric petitioned the gods in Arah, rather than petitioning Dwayna alone as in the inscription. The inscription also does not explicitly describe Doric as any sort of king or leader at the time, which makes sense since the events described on the tablet are dated roughly 15 years before Doric's coronation. As for Doric's longeivity, he was the favored follower of the goddess of life. -- Gordon Ecker 02:25, 19 October 2006 (CDT)
 * So, even though the data clearly contradicts, you are leaving it in? First of all, the Doric in the Manuscripts is KING Doric, no where is "King" mentioned in the scriptures, also why is it so hard to believe that King Doric could have been named after this Doric?  The Henchman Sogolon was named after the founder of the Sunspears Sogolon the Protector, yet the two are obviously different people.  I find it more likely that Doric is a cognomen, which is common to a group of people.  In royality especially, it is not uncommon to find people with the same name.
 * I don't see any contradiction. According to the King's Watch monument inscription Doric was the first king of Ascalon, and was crowned over 100 years before his death in 1 AE. According to the statue inscription Doric met Dwayna in 115 BE. We also know that Doric was somehow able to journey to Arah only a year or two before his death (which may or may not have been from natural causes). The statue plaque makes no mention of the bloodstones, magic, Arah or (excluding the date) the Exodus. The Dwayna inscription only adds about 5 to 10 years to Doric's minimum age. -- Gordon Ecker 21:32, 11 January 2007 (CST)

"Dwayna is considered the leader of the Gods"?
Says who? --Tetris L  01:46, 23 May 2006 (CDT)

it's in the lore manuscripts that come with the game- "dwayna is the even-headed leader of the gods" or something to that effect. -- User:Aptaleon Griefhaven
