Clues and Bits of Information

In this thread I'll post various clues the party has found, such as prophecies, inscriptions and poems. Feel free to discuss them, and even to suggest corrections if you remember them differently. Since the party has been through so many gates and dimensional vortices, your recollection may well be off a bit.

To the best of my memory, this quote comes from the Mad Monk, up in the monastery above the cliffs over the village of Nem.

One came from across the sea, and took a part of Her to be!

The following was discovered by Zola, researching in his library to help the party discover more about Zak-Arna, the fortress of Ephezius.

And then for the third and final time, he entrysted a part of his knowing to the mind of woman, and then did the Serpent of The Spring know of the place of Zak-Arna, and the knowledge did sorely affect her heart. For it was foretold upon the waters of another world beyond, that he would visit such fate upon maidens fairal and three, and when this compact was fulfilled, so would then his undying glee.

The party found this inscription after defeating two strange and watery undead guardians, deep down inside the base of Zola's rock. It was carved at the back of a briny grotto, wherein you discovered an odd fist-sized stone. The spelling and words were engraved as shown below.

Within the waterfall frozen in time
Third eye of princess sleeping in lime
Up from the aeons the naga will climb
Beneath the Nautilus covered in rime
Stone of the center bathing in slime
Buried by water buried in grime
Carried the life's blood carried in brine
Mistress rewards those who undo the crime
