==Omphasos Epigraph==
As beings who endure by the will of the star, we are susceptible to the influence of hopes and prayers. Thus do we commit our yokes herein, lest we stray from our purpose.
* He who is named [[Byregot]] shall preside over construction. His duty: to fortify the works of men, and encourage them to build.
* He who is named [[Rhalgr]] shall preside over destruction. His duty: to galvanize the star's beating heart, and facilitate mankind's regeneration.
* She who is named [[Azeyma]] shall preside over the sun. Her duty: to nurture its life-giving light, and illuminate the truth for all to see.
* He who is named [[Nald'thal]] shall preside over the subterrane. His duty: to make gleam the riches hidden in the darkest depths─and in men themselves.
* She who is named [[Nophica]] shall preside over fertility. Her duty: to fill the land with life, and prepare a path of peace and plenty.
* He who is named [[Althyk]] shall preside over space and time. His duty: to endow the star with material vigor, that mankind's march may never cease.
* She who is named [[Halone]] shall preside over the glaciers. Her duty: to hold the melting ice at bay, and imbue men with constancy and tranquility.
* She who is named [[Menphina]] shall preside over the moon. Her duty: to perpetuate the turning of night and day, and foster love in the hearts of all.
* He who is named [[Thaliak]] shall preside over the rivers. His duty: to quench the thirst of men, and water their minds with wisdom.
* She who is named [[Nymeia]] shall preside over the stars. Her duty: to preserve the celestial fabric of the seasons, and weave the threads of men's lives.
* She who is named [[Llymlaen]] shall preside over the seas. Her duty: to administer the tides, and inspire men to come together as one and seek new horizons.
* He who is named [[Oschon]] shall preside over the mountains. His duty: to sustain the breath of the firmament, and in wandering share in men's solitude.
* He who is unnamed shall watch unflinching. His duty: to stand guard over his charge, always and unto the end.

Deryk casts a languid gaze to and fro.

— In-game description

Steps

Journal

  • Deryk casts a languid gaze to and fro.
  • Having extracted the information from her final stone, Krile rejoins you in Quarrymill. She expresses her thanks to her companions, mortal and divine alike, and together you make your way back to the Omphalos.
  • You arrive in the Omphalos to find G'raha Tia and Snoegeim already returned from their respective pilgrimages. After the gods take their leave, you use the information you acquired to complete the monument's epigraph. Appearing to be written by the gods themselves, it explains that they were brought forth by the will of the star, before going on to describe the duties of each deity. The revelations have given you and your companions much to ponder, and you all sink into contemplative silence.
  • G'raha Tia posits that the gods created the epigraph so that they might never lose sight of their duty, no matter how much their nature might be altered over millennia. And Krile, identifying the will of the star as Hydaelyn, turns her attention to the watcher on the moon, who could well be the thirteenth unnamed being.
As it stands, you have yet to encounter three of the Twelve, and there is no telling what may happen once you have fought them all. In order to determine how best to proceed, Krile and G'raha Tia decide to return to Sharlayan to compile your findings. Deryk also excuses himself and heads out of the Omphalos, but Snoegeim bids you follow after the aloof explorer, unsettled by his melancholy musings.
  • In response to Snoegeim's fears that he might suddenly vanish, Deryk philosophizes that all things must come to an end. Saddened though he will be when the time comes to part ways, he accepts that sadness as part of the joy he has derived from your companionship, and declares his intention to strive with you to the last. Inspired by his words, you inwardly pledge to follow the mystery of the Twelve to its very end.
