The removal of Tormented Ruins tome

General Discussion PC

Blizzard seems to have removed the tome found in the Tormented Ruins dungeon (the same one from the Prologue, named Icehowl Ruins, only renamed, and located just a bit to the north of Nevesk).

Why did they do that? Perhaps the content of that tome - spoken by RATHMA - will tell you why!

It goes:
"Burned Parchment says: I saw a serpent coiling in the fires of the Eternal Conflict… saw my corpse, and from my mouth crawled Hatred… the weak made strong…
Burned Parchment says: Tears of blood rained on a desert jewel… Hell was torn asunder… a spear of light, piercing Hatred’s heart… a wise man with seven arms… a fog of lies… plagues of every name…
Burned Parchment says: I saw a child give birth to a mother, as Hatred’s sun set and that of Terror and Destruction dawned."

What is it, Blizzard? You don’t want the folks to know? I wonder if I’m going to be silenced because of this, but I won’t stop telling the truth!

Maybe I’m missing something, but

Don’t want us to know what exactly?

What truth exactly?

Personally i think it was just a consequence of a patch but something as insignificant as the burnt parchment (that most likely ignore) isnt worth a patch just to restore it.

Either that or they’ve changed their mind about something in the parchment and wont be adding it in future expansions. (Maybe the wise man with 7 arms)

Or maybe they’ve moved it to somewhere that’s associated with Rathma or Inarius. It would make sense that it was Inarius that burnt it. He’s the only one who had a problem with it, everyone else would have just used it. I doubt it was Rathma that burnt it, no point burning it after it had already spread. Inarius was the only one who benefited from the original being burnt since he took out the parts that made him look like a hero, and abandoned the rest.
