This has been on my mind and the most confusing and shocking part of DeS lore I ever knew since 2010:
Talisman of Beasts:
An old wooden amulet resembling the Old One.
It can utilize both miracles and spells.
The symbol of God was nothing more than the Image of the Old One.
Dialoge from Sage Freke:
Do you have a connection to the disciples?
Do not pay attention to them if they speak poorly of me and my magic.
Prayer is for the foolish, quaint, and soon-to-be dead.
And heaven forbid the day you find out what their so-called God really is…
Mephistopheles Dialouge:
So, you've completed everything, eh?
You're what they might call a miracle worker.
Lastly, I must only kill you, and the secret of the souls shall be eternally safe…
Intro Text:
On the second day
on Earth was planted an irrevocable poison
a soul-devouring demon
King Allant Dialogue:
"Surely you have seen for yourself… the pain and suffering that
fills this world! But fight poison with poison. God is merciful, and so,
created the Old One. The Old One will feed upon our souls, and put an
end to our tragic realm of existence!"
What all of this is implanting is the old one is God, but it was created during the second day! Lore, y u contradict yourself?
