Hah, and you're triggered by my threads.
To be fair, my theory is at least interesting.

Nonsense. My masterful Conrad-inspired interpretation, uninteresting? The very idea is laughable.
Yes, your idea is laughable. I'm glad we're on the same page.

Alas, the madness strikes again. Can you not see that your page 7 post is responding to comments made on page 6?

Unable to distinguish between pages... the patient is truly delusional. Paging Dr. Nabor...

Hey there. Much as I enjoyed seeing this thread pop up I'd like to confirm something; the mysterious voice in that cutscene is NOT Xau-Tak. Its words carry significantly more weight. ;)

...No, literally. >_> If Sliske comprehended the meaning behind the Black Howling of Xau-Tak then the parts of his brain responsible for processing languages and memory would gain enough gravity that his head would compact to the size of a child’s fist.

Thank you for replying, Mod Wilson! And also clearing some uncertainty here. So, ***-Tak is terminated from the candidates now. I think we should concentrate more on the dialogue between the unknown voice and Sliske then...

Okay, I'll write that dialogue here then behind spoilers:


Sliske: It's beautiful, isn't it!
Unknown: Beauty is meaningless.
Sliske: Oh, come now, that's not true. Beauty makes the world bearable; without it, life is grey and empty.
Sliske: It evokes pure emotion. True beauty can bring empires to ruin or inspire the most evil men to heroic deeds.
Unknown: This conversation is irrelevant.
Sliske: Yes... I suppose you think it is.
Sliske: Thank you for the tip-off about this delightful thing by the way, I would never have found it on my own.
Sliske: It never occured me that the staff could be used that way.
Unknown: The staff is quite useful.
Sliske: Yes, and the look on that dragonkin's face was hilarious! Even better that now I have the stone.
Sliske: To think, they just cast this thing away, hoping no one would find it. They must have known the Stone wouldn't be hidden forever.
Sliske: Something like this... it wants to be found, it needs a user, false or not.
Unknown: Is there a point to this?
Sliske: Sorry, getting all poetic there for a moment, totally out of character I know.
Unknown: Enough! This will bring them?
Sliske: Oh yes, very much so. The siren song of the Stone will bring all the gods together
Slis**: It will be a gathering like no other, a monumental occasion that everyone will yearn to observe
Unknown: This bluster is pointless, simply make it happen.
Sliske: Yes, of course.
Sliske: I live to serve.


And here are some of my thoughts about that conversation:

- The unknown voice seems to be nihilistic/angry/impatient.
- Sliske follows his/her orders but is not totally subjugated under his/her command.
- Doesn't sound like Zaros and isn't definitely a dragonkin.
- Sliske thinks destruction = beauty.
- The unknown voice helped Sliske find the Stone of Jas after RotM.

But I argue that the Stone of Jas is not sentient because Sliske states like "a gold ring on a floor wants to be picked up".
