Letters from Chitus

Is this hinting at a Descent-like dungeon?
It certainly doesn't seem related to the Ezoymyte-themed content from the last announcement.

i dont know the I, but i t hink the C is for Cataclysm

If its a time calculation, like A.D. (Anno Domini [Nostri Iesu Christi], which are basically the days of the lord), it would make sense, i think ? Just an assumption...since these calendars usually describe a huge historical impact..;)

e: Nice read. Love how you put so nice efforts into your game to make it more and more deep.

i think it is. as dominus where from the island from where the otherwise thinking part of imperials left it would be the power struggle between ezomytes (vaal offspring or the base root) and the imperials which came by the sea millenias ago.

chitus taking eventually the throne by this wisted labyrinth and leading his gemling legions against invading karui eventually malachai killing all for his power as dialla chose to survive (haven't played act 4 many times)

and i live, live, live, live. many cockroaches in visiting and the throne room filling. there's something what is not part and again it is.

:D

have the ezomytes been saved by their magic
did they survive atziri / vaal enslavement? or are they imbued to the soil and ground of wraeclast

In the second letter:

"

We need not fair any unconvenient disclosure

You mean fear?

This must surely be campaign related content and not race themed, right? Can we ditch cruel difficulty now pls?

I'm sure GGG said they would look at reducing the differculties to 2, from 3, when another expansion of the map is added. Of course there would have to be adjustments in area, monster levels and XP to allow for this.

Hyped for another expansion next year :)

A questions that's been on my mind for awhile now is what the hell does I.C. mean on all the dates of Wraeclast's history?

-3rd Kaso of Vitali, 1316 I.C.
-1st Lunaro of Verusi, 1317 I.C.
-3rd Solaro of Divini, 1318 I.C.

Imperialus Conceptus.

I say it isn't Ezomyte-themed, because they were a marginal people to the Eternal Empire. Either a subjugated satellite peoples or otherwise too weak to directly challenge the Empire. They seem to be modeled after Scotland where the Eternals are more like Byzantines or the Roman Empire. Vagan described the Ezomytes as "western potato munchers" who founded the dueling traditions of champions to resolve wars in a (relatively) bloodless manner.

We learn Chitus was a Perandus, which we know was a very powerful and prominent family according to the lore on unique items (and which is corroborated here again by Chitus). Neither Izaro are Chitus are Ezomytes or would conduct their affairs in Ezomyte lands. We know the Eternals actually descended from the interbred populations of Vaalish survivors and the Azmiri.

Chitus never lead the gemlings against the Karui invasion, that was his general, Marceus Lioneye.
The Ezomytes assisted Purity Rebellion, along with the Maraketh and the Karui who launched invasions at the same time, but this doesn't matter, as we know war and plague destroyed most their population, leaving only a small backwater settlement for the Ezoymytes.
Chitus himself was assassinated by Ondar with a knife. Ondar was part of the Sarn underground.

Are we supposed to expect some maze race for big bounty? Or possibly discover entry to some maze that shows up once in 100 instances somewhere during progression or mapping? Questions, questions everywhere!
