Ok so I’ve seen some post around here about nezarec, so I decided to share my 2 cents. Well actually 35 cents and a bunch of facts, logic and theory’s. Ok so for facts. We know very little about the mysterious nezarec. [quote]“He is that which is end. That which covets sin. The final god of pain—the purest light, the darkest hour. And He shall rise again. When the guiding shine fades and all seems lost He will call to you. Fear not. All He offers is not as dark as it may seem. For Nezarec is no demon, but a fiend, arch and vile in ways unknown. He is a path and a way, one of many. And his sin—so wicked, so divine—is that he will never cower when dusk does fall, but stand vigilant as old stars die and new Light blinks its first upon this fêted eternity.” —Passage from Of Hated Nezarec[/quote] Well that’s what we really know(thanks Ishtar collective). Well the nezarec sin helmet suggest that this is pre golden age, so this passage must be pre golden age. Now with that said it has I be written by humans because it is pre out golden age, unless it’s talking about someone else’s golden age. Now what I find really interesting is this quote. [quote]”When the guiding shine fades and all seems lost He will call to you. Fear not. All He offers is not as dark as it may seem. For Nezarec is no demon, but a fiend, arch and vile in ways unknown. “[/quote] I find this interesting. There are probably many ways to look at this but here is how I see it. [i]when the guiding shine fades and all is lost[/i] obviously is talking about losing hope, power, being desperate. The. It goes on to say [i]he will call you. Fear not his offer is as not dark as it seems[/i] well this next part might be saying that nezarec will make you a offer. A deal that sounds dark but isn’t what it seemed. So basically it could be Interpreted as nezarec offering you a dark deal when your out of hope and luck. Now that’s only one way to interpret it but let’s go with it. Anyways what do we know that can do this? Well maybe a Wish dragon, but the ahamkara didn’t arrive until the traveler. Nezarec is probably a being in the void, we know the void is full of power. But what if I told you that this whole deal thing has happened in the lore before. Well sort of and we can only make theory’s but whatever. My next piece of evidence comes from the lore card of.....SYLOCK THE DEFILED!!!!....seriously. Since they had him on prison, the awoken where doing some sort of brain scans on sylock. One time the discovered something weird, as if someone was talking to him in his mind. I’ll give you a exert from the original grimoire and I’ll share the link to the whole thing below. [quote]”By the Light — do you see? >Give him a jolt. ...Gragggghhhhhhh!!!! >That did the trick. >>Is he ... is he happy? ...Gragghh ...g-ggglorious pain!!! >>Memory synapses are firing. >Finally. Let’s see what we’ve... wh— what is that? ...Blllessssseeddd is the N-Nastareth!!!”[/quote] Well this does not have a direct correlation to nezarec you can make assumptions. First sylock was pretty much done, in a prison with people trying to extract information. And then suddenly he does eventually get what he wants, blessing a nestareth. Nestareth, nezarec. Not that far of a stretch. Ok maybe it is but be is a taken , hive have different ways of saying things. Any ways I have a couple more things to add to my rambles. First, this isn’t exactly connected to nezarac but it is still interesting. [quote] The shamans of the old world were said to have covered their eyes so they could see the dead. I believe these men and women were the first to discover the power of the Void, and in the Traveler's light we have succeeded in refining their methods, in charting the courses they pioneered. When you blink, you'll know the way. [/quote] Ok. So the shamans of old tried to communicate with the void. Pre golden age shamans. Well I’m not saying nezaract is a lowly shaman , but he could beand most likely is a being in the void. He resides in the void, most possible some demon we never even seen. There is more things heaven and earth that are dreamt of I your philosophy, guardians.- -hamlet. Anyways there are more things out in the vast universe than the light and dark, and nezarac is one. These old shamans could be the ones who originally found nezarac, they could of originally wrote the sins lore. Also the drifter in his lore mentions the fourth Tomb of nezarac. Fourth. Why does he need four. I don’t know. Well what does this all mean? Nothing at all. My theory’s have now became ramblings of a mad warlock. Take it however you like. But I shall continue to research and question our universe. So where does that lead us. We still don’t know for sure what he is, or what he does. Or really anything. We just have some fact, logic, and some theory’s. What is nezarc [spoiler]nezarec is a ancient being of the void Nezarec communicated with ancient shamans. Nezarec was a wish dragon, tricking them in despair needs to further disparities Nezarec is the darkness or one of its commanders Nezarec is a ancient being based of o the love craft Mythos Nezarec is a ancient and powerful psion It doesn’t matter what nezarec is and we should be worried about fighting it Nezarec is a invading alien armada. Please feel free to the possibility list.
