The Golden Slumber _VERIFIED_
Basa Uram
While even the game says that the Lay of Al-Ahmar is unreliable, I think the fact that the Golden Slumber is actually real proves that the book has some truth in it. (Side note: the Golden Slumber has been foreshadowed in the artifact descriptions of Gilded Dreams as "the golden dream," which I believe was the name for the questline in beta before being changed to Golden Slumber)
Let me just start by saying after finishing? "I assume" golden slumber that this quest was very depressing, and I hope there is a part 2 cause the way it ended left many questions, felt like a huge part was missing, and Jeht needs a big hug. Anyway about this slate. I am missing like all the clearance. And there are now tons of teleport points on the south of the map I assume are all underground? Is there another quest I need to do to get down there? And the big scary pyramid in the middle is there a way to turn off the ominous end of the world red sky? I feel like after going in there for the Golden slumber that the whole thing was left unfinished.
Inside the Barsia Palace, we uncover some clues to the Golden Child's location. We then search for more clues on Jack's ship, where we find a casket holding Emma's golden form. Seems Jack was telling us the truth after all. We also find evidence of his long and fruitless journey to try to cure his beloved. Poor guy.
Not long ago, the story of two young lovebirds, Emma and Jack, began. They loved each other so intensely and enjoyed every moment they spent together, but little did they know that their happiness would not be long-lasting. One day, they found a beautiful girl with stunning blonde hair, stumbling through the forest. Emma, dear and kind, reached for the stranger's hand in order to help, and as she opened her mouth to say something, Emma stiffened and turned into a perfectly vivid golden statue. The mysterious girl gazed at the golden statue of Emma, then screamed with anger and ran away, calling herself a slave to her own curse. Jack, not yet fully aware of what just happened, remained next to his loved one, desperately hugging her, sobbing. That day, he swore he would not settle down until he found the cure to return Emma to life.
