The Tomb of Primeval Kings- Connected to Elona

[Durza the Shadeking]

Though the Tomb of Primeval Kings is in Tyria (Crystal Desert) I thought it should be here in the Elonian Section, due to what I read on the official site.

But it is the Order of the Sunspears who truly bind the realm together. This grand alliance of heroes has defended the entire realm since before the terrible years of the Scarab Plague, which nearly wiped out all of Istan and brought an end to the era of the Primeval Kings. Today, the Sunspears are flourishing under the leadership of Spearmarshal Kormir. Their ranks swell and their power grows as new recruits join the Order on a daily basis

This shows that Elona is directly related to the Tomb. That also means that the ghosts there (Priest, Ghostly Hero, King Kole, ect.) are Elonian.

Thoughts-Questions?

Seems logical to me. Perhaps the Tombs were like the Valley of Kings in ancient Egypt, in that they were far seperated from the main area of the civilization, and sacred.

I agree with Quintus, it could well be logical as the theme for NF is of an Egyptian feel.

I also had a thought when reading this post, i'm not sure if it should be here or somewhere else but notice the section about the scarab plague

Now could this scarab plague be the efforts of Kephket Marrowfest found near augury rock in the desert?

Or at least her ancestors.

just remember the ghost hero is TURAI OSSA, so there we got a link to it, and also remember that the underworld is similar for every continent!

How can we be sure it is Turai Ossa. Yes he is the "Ghostly Hero in the Desert." But it is said that the Hero's from HoH help the players along. I belive Turai is only one of many of the Heroes who have passed on and are now helping us gain Favor of the Gods.

Turai's goal was always to reach the Hall of Heroes. The Ghostly Hero in the Heroes' Ascent tournament has the same skin, name, skills and even V/O in cinematics as the Ghostly Hero in the Crystal Desert.

[Quintus Antonius]

Also, the officially released teaser lore for Nightfall has confirmed that Turai Ossa is known to all simply as the "Ghostly Hero" aiding people in their quest, and his, to the Hall of Heroes.

That's a paraphrasing of the words used in the information.

From the Ghostly Hero in Amnoon Oasis:

I think he's just so famous, he gets the title of "The" Ghostly Hero.

[Kailden Jera]

Every one loves their Ghostly Hero. He's so helpfull. Maybe Nightfall will tell us more about him. Or even better, he can have a active role in the Nightfalls story.

The quote that Quintus is talking about (i think):

Its three provinces—Istan, Kourna, and Vabbi—have been ruled separately since the great hero Turai Ossa stepped down as sovereign and left on a pilgrimage into the Crystal Desert some two hundreds years ago.

[Quintus Antonius]

No, that's not it. I said I paraphrased a quote, which means the quote I'm refering to will be almost word-for-word what I said. It was either in the PCGamer Nov. issue, the pre-release disc, or the official site. I can't remember where exactly.
