Theories

What Happened to Kos

+ Expand

The scholars of Byrgenworth killed Kos. The Kos Parasite description says that Kos's corpse washed ashore, which would imply she was already dead before anyone, even Byrgenworth, got to her. It's more plausible to conclude that the process of carrying a child (the Orphan) is what killed her. Her body was said to be filled with parasites. The Byrgenworth scholars learned of the corpse of a Great One in the Fishing Hamlet, and sought it out (and it's inhabitants) to experiment on. "Blood-crazed fiends" would then refer not to the killing of a Great One, but to the practical genocide of the people of the Fishing Hamlet. The skull you get from the muttering man at the beginning of the area confirms they were performing horrific experiments and dissections on the people there. The curse then wouldn't be an act of vengeance from the Orphan, at least not for the death of it's mother. But for the death of the villagers. After all, the Great Ones are sympathetic in spirit.

Celestial Dial
Grants access to the Fishing Hamlet from the Astral Clocktower.
A celestial dial that functions with the giant Astral Clock in
the Grand Cathedral.
When the dial is held up towards the Astral Clock, the clock
will come to life, and reveal a secret to its curious interloper.

Kos Parasite
When the carcass of Kos washed up on the coast,
its insides were teeming with tiny parasites, unlike any found in humans.
This atypical weapon can only be clasped tight and swung,
but a Kos Parasite is said to stimulate phantasms inhabiting a lumenwood.
