Thalarion

Thalarion is a location in Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones, accessed through rest.

Description
Thalarion is a location found within the realm of dreams (known as the Dreamlands) in which the Dreaming Baroness has been imprisoned. As such, it can only be visited while the character is at rest. Thalarion itself is a small peninsula embellished in a panoramic of bright colours. The stage is ruled by a demon in the form of a large, pink, and obtusely angled statue with flaming eyes, and set around the island are six statues surrounding an imposing sculpture of the trapped Baroness.


 * Thalarion will only be accessible to the character after they have started the quest The Dreaming Baroness.

Several statues surrounding the trapped Baroness represent various desires keeping her trapped in place. The character can interact with each of these desires in an attempt to properly identify those keeping the Baroness trapped:


 * Woman Shedding Her Skin: I’m the desire to remain young for all eternity.
 * Cherub Escaping Pomegranate: I’m the desire of bearing progeny and reaching out to the new generations.
 * Hourglass Chained To Book: I’m the apprehension of losing all that’s learned and experienced.
 * Woman Holding Heart: I’m the desire to seek true love at the risk of wasting my life away.
 * Girl On Boat With Map: I’m the desire to discover and of setting sail to new experiences.
 * Tree Weighted With Gold: I’m the desire of obtaining money, fortune and power.

Solution
The character must identify, in the correct order, the desires trapping the Dreaming Baroness. Viewing the Elegant Snow Globe, provided by the Baroness' attendant the Masked Servant, will assist the character in making the correct choices:


 * 1) Girl On Boat With Map
 * 2) Woman Shedding Her Skin
 * 3) Hourglass Chained To Book

On exiting Thalarion, the character will be greeted with the following message: ''When you wake up, you realize that you don’t remember much of this feverish dream. The only thing that you can trace in your mind are the following words that seem like they belong to a forgotten song: ‘How can you reach your destination if you don’t know why you took the journey? Thank you traveler.’''
