You're one of them, aren't you? An Exile? What strange odds to meet you here and now. I am Eagon, and I am undertaking an immensely important mission - and perhaps you can be of some use.
See this tear? It is a gateway of sorts... to different realities within the Atlas. You may be wondering how I know all this... Of course, a commonborn such as yourself wouldn't understand!
The Originator of these realities left breadcrumbs. A trail. A thread of physical manifestations of the person's memories. They seem to be experimenting with the Atlas in a profound way. Entangling themself within the very fabric of what the Atlas is made of... and there, I believe they are trapped.
With my brain and your brawn, perhaps we can find answers to these questions. I'm sure there'll be something in it for you, to make it worth your while. What do you say?
— Introduction |
This tear – and others like them – give us a glimpse into what this other plane of reality is composed of. Their compositions took me quite some time to deconstruct, but working backward from its final structure, I was able to reinterpret them using the superposition of the memories' resonances and offsetting that entanglement from the Atlas itself...
Hmm... have I lost you? It is merely the nature of reality we are discussing here!
Put plainly, in finding these tears, we can access the memories within them. There, we can chase down the one creating them. The Originator.
Unfortunately, the Atlas seems to have some unstable effects on the... {presentation} of these memories... but I hope that we can reach the Originator and save... her – well, more on that later.
— Zana's Memories |
Go on, Exile - approach the tear.
— EagonWildApproachTear |
What are you doing? Approach the tear!
— EagonAnnoyedApproachGossip |
We have done it! We have her location! There seems to be a safe haven within her web of threads. How remarkable!
Finally... I have a chance to properly talk with Zana and get the answers I deserve. Let us make our way there at once.
— EagonOnFinalZanaPortalOpen |
It is done.
— EagonUnlockFirstTearWild |
I have the thread coordinates. You will need to visit each location along the thread, to gain access to the subsequent ones.
You have access to a map device, yes? Good. Let us meet there and I shall reveal the location of the first memory.
— Thread Coordinates |
Do not dally!
— EagonWildDoNotDally |
Quite the establishment you've got here! Kirac looks much older in person... I must say, I don't really care for his demeanour. Rather grumpy and sour. Rather... dull.
In any case, shall we utilise these coordinates?
— Kirac |
She... knew me? But how? I am... bewildered to say the least.
We must not stop. It is not clear whether she is fully aware of what is happening. She may be confused.
We must explore more threads and find her once again.
— Zana |
I cannot begin to fathom what she was talking about. It is... deeply troubling. This is the closest I've ever been to my family, and yet... I feel immensely distant.
We must press on. I must have answers. We must find another tear!
— Zana |
She said... she is not my sister? Then... who am I? None of this makes any sense. My life continues to be an unsolved mystery.
But I must move forward. I must... aspire. We should continue our work. There must be a way to appeal to Zana to prevent her unravelling herself beyond redemption.
If we continue to disrupt these memories, perhaps we can prevent her from destroying herself.
Atlas be damned! We must save Zana!
— Saving Zana |
My sweet sister... Though I've not been able to communicate with her, I've read everything I could get my hands on that she has written... I feel a connection to her.
I do feel some semblance of jealousy that she had time with our father, yes. I also feel guilty that I wasn't there for her when she needed me. That is something I hope to make right.
And perhaps, if I am lucky, Zana may have answers to some of my most burning questions...
— My Sister |
It was not a... traditional upbringing. I wanted for nothing... except knowing who I truly was. The family I was placed with treated me less like a child and more like a patron. Disgusting, really.
Sometimes I'd wish to learn a lesson the hard way. Sometimes I'd wish to be told no... or even to receive a light beating. But these are inconsequential complaints.
Had I known I was the bastard son of the {magnificent} Valdo Caeserius, perhaps I would have felt differently. Everyone has some sort of confusing path to navigate and this was mine.
Here and now... I just wish to know why. Why did he cast me out? Why didn't he wish to know his only son? Perhaps these questions will haunt me all my mortal life.
— My Father |
It took me years to fully unravel that I was a Caeserius. You may look at me and think, auburn hair, gifted, eloquent and well-dressed... How obvious!
But the person you see before you and the one that grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth are quite different people. Funnily enough, it was a maid that planted the seed in my mind. She would hum a tune as she changed the bed dressings in my room. One day, I asked her what it was she was humming. Without thinking, she laughed and said it was {'one of Valdo's favourites'}. There was no question in my mind who she was referring to. But why would this woman know such a man's favourite melodies? And why is she {now} taking care of me?
I probed further and she soon began to resemble a ripe tomato and bolted out the door. I pressed the family on this. I never saw the maid again and I was shunned from asking such questions. The relationship grew ever more sour after that. I knew this was a significant matter... but I didn't know the extent to which so many people had gone to keep me from knowing the truth.
— The Realisation |
Yes, yes. It would of course mean a lot to know {why}... but I have scant reason to think of it now. The trajectory of my life changed the moment I knew, albeit vaguely, who I was.
The son of a notably brilliant mind! Bastard or not, I would live up to that truth. I would exceed my potential. Blast it, I would exceed his potential too! I became obsessed with his work. Who he was as a father mattered less to me - I expected I'd never know him that way. But I was determined to make the most of the brain I'd inherited.
In some ways, in spite of him. In other ways, because of him.
— Exceeding Potential |
Well... without the support of Templar backing and father's innumerable donors, I am actually a self-made explorer of the Atlas. I would say I've done quite well for myself, wouldn't you? What I lack in sheer strength, I make up for with Caeserius wit and arrogance. If not for that, I don't think I'd have made it this far.
Sometimes we all must push ourselves beyond our limits, to get what we truly want... and what we truly deserve.
— Pushing our Limits |
Once I had learned about my family's fate, I was determined to follow in their footsteps. To traverse realities. To navigate the Atlas.
I suppose initially I was driven by a desire to find them. But soon I was driven by a desire to better myself. To grow my capabilities.
Thankfully, I am more self-aware than my father. I saw the folly in his ways. Once I discovered the tears, once I glimpsed Zana within them... my attention was refocused. Everything is now about saving her.
— Memory Tears |
I struggle to understand her. How can she believe this is the only way? What does it even mean... to destroy the Atlas?
The Atlas is but another interpretation of the reality we see. How can one exist without the other? I feel inept. She {must} know something I do not. For that reason, I am fearful.
Let me be on this topic. I must consider it further...
— Destroying the Atlas |
You really must push on with this, yes? I believe I asked politely to not be questioned further on it! Look, I do not know what it means. But yes... Zana is indeed affecting the Atlas in a significant way.
Somehow, her memories are spilling over into the rest of the Atlas. I... I don't know how. I must think on it!
— Destroying the Atlas |
How can I know the way forward if I don't know how or why these things are happening, you simpleton! Idiot!
— Destroying the Atlas |
I'm... sorry. This is all quite stressful. I'm sure there is a logical explanation. Once I know what it is, you'll be the first to hear about it.
— Destroying the Atlas |
Ugh, Eldritch entities... I'd rather not start thinking about all that for the moment, if you don't mind. I've had a hard enough time contemplating what is happening with my family, let alone all that nonsense!
— The Maven |
I know little of this foolish man. All I do know is that he once served Zana, but whoever that was is not who he has become. The Atlas has claimed many friends, and family...
— Sirus, Awakener of Worlds |
Ah, yes... I have heard his ramblings in my travels within the Atlas. Not very scientific, to my ears. I find myself wondering if that being just enjoys hearing himself talk.
— The Envoy |
It is... deeply troubling. For years, I believed her to be my sister. If she is not my sister, then Valdo is not my father. Yet... she said I mean 'much' to her.
I must have answers. I must... understand.
— Seeking Answers |
You there! A moment of your time?
— EagonApproachFirstTime |
Fantastic! What a magnificent device... Go on, then! See what you can find in there!
— EagonOpenGatewayFirstTime |
This is it! Here, we should be able to find the memory kernel of this thread... Go well, Exile!
— EagonFinalMapStartOne |
Sweet sister. Tormented by your own creation... in this horrid prison of your mind... Do what you must, Exile. Save her from whatever horror the Atlas makes of her memory! But know this, you must be-
— EagonSeesChildZanaOne |
Well done! I knew you could do it! Now... I should be able to harness the origin of this form to... ugh... No matter, step aside.
— EagonFinalMapEndOne |
There we have it! Now we have the true origin of this particular thread. With this, we can track down the Originator! Let us meet back at the device!

Hopefully this time we will have {longer} to speak with her. Time to move.
— EagonPinnacleOpenTwo |
Another memory... An innocent moment between parent and child... distorted by the chaotic nature of the Atlas...
— EagonSeesChildZanaTwo |
Zana - wait! I must speak with you. I must understand!
— EagonAfterSecondPinnacleOne |
But... why?
— EagonAfterSecondPinnacleTwo |
No. Come back! Just a little longer, please!
— EagonAfterSecondPinnacleThree |
Go, Exile. Locate the kernel and depose it.
— EagonFinalMapStartThree |
That's it. We have what we need. Let us meet back at the device at once.
— EagonMemoryExtractedThree |
Time to finally get answers. I am ready... {Are you}?
— EagonPinnacleOpenThree |
Significant memories for a child... But a drop in a pool of insignificance to someone grown. Everything, a matter of perspective.
— EagonSeesChildZanaThree |
Now, I must know... What is the meaning of this?
— EagonAfterThirdPinnacleOne |
The tear... It remains open! Let us speak to my sister.
— EagonAfterThirdPinnacleTwo |
Incredible! It allows us access. Let us speak to my sister!
— EagonAfterThirdPinnacleThree |
It is true that I have pursued you, relentlessly so. But it is only to know your mind. To know your brilliance... and to save you.
— EagonZanaConvoOne |
Forgive me, but this cryptic {nonsense} only drives me further into despair of not knowing. Be plain with me. Tell me the truth.
— EagonZanaConvoTwo |
To destroy what?
— EagonZanaConvoThree |
But... {why}? Let us do this together. From the outside... Why must you suffer endlessly here to achieve this?
— EagonZanaConvoFour |
Sister, please... Let me help you.
— EagonZanaConvoFive |
What...? What do you mean?
