This one was tricky for me, but the clues are all there.

The last part confuses me.
ReplyDeleteSounds like putting it into a bunker, Fort Knox?
ReplyDeleteThe San Saba mine, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWell "sticks that shot fire"... guns, firearms. These were created between the 9th to 13th century AD. I take it, the warriors may have come from the following parts: Europe or the Middle East. I personally believe it is European.
ReplyDeleteNo clues that make me think of the United States... sounds more like (spanish?) Conquistadores and Maya / Inca / Aztecs somewhere in Latin America...
ReplyDeleteand to be more speculative: at the fabulous Eldorado?
Yik Sheng Lee this one seems similar to the description of Obsidius:

ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteHow many gold rushes have there been ? But Latin America feels right but may be Argentina?

ReplyDeleteWith the Obsidius traveling - could he and Cybella be locking onto different Simulacra and visiting them at different times through their cycles - AKA why the Acolyte could have been a warrior at some point and now is "not" - and that might explain why he was drawn to certain places as well -
ReplyDeleteYik Sheng Lee are you thinking essence when you make the Alexander->Obsidius-> Hank connection - OR could it be something much darker - could it be the same simulaca, BUT during one of the returns, someone "reprograms" the person so they think they are a different person. Look at how sharding, breadcrumbs and memory in general is influenced. What if Syphax or someone "created" the Hank Johnson persona?
ReplyDeleteEven if that did not occur, I wonder, can you reprogram a simulacra? I always wondered if that is what happened to Dr. Wright.
The mention of coming and going also seems to connect to a concept of reincarnation.
ReplyDeleteAnd the different theories here could be all correct is they are tracing a person, place or "thing" through time and space. In this case maybe they locked onto the gold and followed its movement through time. Wonder if the last is some reference to the gold on the Niantic Ship?

ReplyDeleteThe Aztecs were well known for human sacrifice
ReplyDeleteShot. We're a game of Civilization and they've got the speed set way too high.
ReplyDeleteSteven Callahan Think about it. What are the major forces in a Civilization style game? The players on the outside of the game world (Shapers-- if you will) who often build the grandstructures (monuments, stadiums, parks, statues) and the infrastructure (post offices, bridges, water towers), while the "shaped" build their little huts and houses. The other major force is the AI...
ReplyDeleteWhat other motivation could there be for the Shapers and n'Zeer. Not like they are mining our planet or preparing to eat us-- the only disadvantage to using humans as cattle is that cattle are far better a being... well, cattle.
What is the functional difference between an avatar in a game world that dies and is then reborn and a soul outside the body that dies and is returned?
Ryan Schoon That's an excellent point. What if the Shapers and N'zeer are not going after some long goal in which they use us, but we are instead the NPCs in a large RPG of theirs?
