In River of Blood it was revealed that the salve barrier was the result of blood magic. Specifically, the Blood of the Covenant says "We have prepared the artifacts of power, and some corpses of the enemies we wished to be sealed away across the river." So there's a loose connection in that the 'corpses' makes the water magical, and we know that Xau-Tak made "corpse oceans" (which could be interpreted however to mean a lot of corpses). A weak connection, but though I'd put it out there.

I also vaguely remember someone in one of these threads hypothesizing that witchwood is the same as blisterwood, since they are both considered extinct, and have magical properties (also the blisterwood tree looks 'alive'). I'm too Unaligned to have a forum signature.

Rite of Passage delayed?

THANKS, XAU-TAK! Nobody wants more lore quests?! THANKS, XAU-TAK! What if Armadyl is sick of the delay of RoP and decided to teach us all a lesson by being responsible for the "dissapearences" and robberies in meg's cases? What happens if Xau-Tak is next on missing cases?

Actually, this thread could use some updating. I'd go look at this thread to learn more. Anyway, I don't know if many of you know of it, but I actually managed to yank a Tweet out of Mod Raven a couple weeks back, that he quickly deleted, leaving me sort of a teaser. The Tweet read as such:

Do you really think you can save them Sepulchre? You can't. There is an atrocity written in black stone. And this is Xau-Tak.


Vague for sure, but I think I got it. The black slab, where you resurrect the Ex-parrot into an Ex-ex-parrot? I mean, Xau-Tak has been called the God of Horrors and Death.. so the fact that a stone, that is black, can bring a parrot back to unlife is.. high likely to be connected. As for what it means exactly.. the stone has a carving of the Black Mask, dropped by cave horrors. So my honest thoughts are this: Xau-Tak is responsible for the corruption of the cave horrors and the jungle horrors found on Mos'le Harmless.

Well, Raven did ask for a good quote to tweet you. I just directed him to the list of the ones in game that people do not seem to have found yet. ;)

This quote is from the Forum thread found here. Seems we have more to discover... A

Congratz on your idea making it into the 2017 Survey.
Between yourself, my End of an Age idea, and all the other ideas around old content.. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a few 5th Age quests next year. A

Might be heavy spoiler, don't click this spoiler tag away lightly.

So with the release of Kindred Spirits, it's hinted Xau-Tak is Sliske's master.

Now let's see... Earliest things relating to Sliske... The Barrows, and Desert Treasure (the Ring of visibility). What year were those both released...? Oh yes, 2005...
look again! what you thought was there merely an illusion
