[QUOTE="Rastfar, post: 4133647, member: 9596"] 11 Keent, 637 M.Y. [I][INDENT]One’s days can ne’er be forged anew, But magic may give great their due.[/INDENT] [/I] Could it be that this refers to the trial of the tomb itself. Why one would undertake the quest to unearth Dalvan’s secrets. [I][INDENT]The immortal clock will never chime, for he who fears a simple climb.[/INDENT][/I] And that this riddle is indeed the last, as it could have been the first? Dalvan could not have known who would come to his tomb. Who would prove successful in besting his riddles. Yet, if the ghoulish Dalvan is to be believed, it is just such an individual whom the wizard would have looked to become.

And in the end they are instead your reward, cunning enough to best your riddles, strong enough to conquer your traps, what better candidate for possession.
