So, apparently, Zanik was talking about Xau-Tak creepy stuff last month, but we missed it. Apparently, she talks about the Soul Obelisk singing to her when you ask her about the Soul Obelisk when you're at the Signature Heroes stage in Zanik's adventures. Or maybe it only happened in November, I dunno. Someone who missed one of the adventures should check.

Original message details are unavailable.

Player: What can you tell me about the Soul Obelisk?
Zanik: It seems to be emitting a strange noise. But only at night...when I'm alone.
Player: What sort of noise?
Zanik: I'm not sure... It's like...like singing. But just on the edge of hearing. It's strangely beautiful.


So, the Soul Obelisk was singing to Zanik at night. The "thing" that Gustaf brought aboard The Glory of Zaros did exactly the same thing.

Original message details are unavailable.
He told me it had 'sung' to the crew at night, and that the four men had 'become absent' and had to be killed.

So this has some disturbing implications. Either Xau-Tak has somehow managed to take control of the Soul Obelisk, or it had a hand in creating it in the first place. We know Nomad built it, but it's certainly possible he used some kind of Xau-Tak related object in the process. Or maybe Xau-Tak latched onto Zanik at some point, and it's just influencing her to hallucinate.

Brassica Prime has captured the Soul Obelisk and is using it to turn souls into cabbages. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

So gonna just dive in here and wreck this theory, as it is written as verbatim fact, when it's actually a bit of a logical leap.

I can confirm that at this point in time Xau-Tak does not have any influence over the Soul Obelisk and Zanik's dialogue is referring to something else.

Sorry, figured I should step in now before you tangle yourself in confused webs. ;)

Just Sliske/Oreb/Brassica Prime messing around then, fair enough.

Or maybe the Soul Obelisk just wants to claim Zanik's soul because she dead, I dunno. You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

There is a Xau-Tak reference in Sliske's Endgame, but it's a small one and doesn't really tell us anything.

Original message details are unavailable.
Sliske: The Queen of Ashes just burns and burns and burns. Xau-Tak writhes, twists, and beckons but never DOES anything! You never were our brightest star, Khazard. 'Vermin slaughtered like lambs'? What does that even mean?

I actually think this tells us a lot. In KS we read the Glory of Zaros and Sliske can make no head way on who or what Xau-Tak is. In the 4 ages since then, he has discovered a great deal more about him. Seeing how Xau has specific plans for us, having Slis in our head may actually be a good thing. It also shows that even as intelligent as Sliske is Xau's methods are alien to him. I have seen the dark universe yawning, where the black planets roll without aim;
Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.
