Missing Storyteller NPC?

(1/1)

nargil66:
Hey, does anyone know where is this NPC located, telling the story of Persefone?
Here is the story:


--- Quote ---xtagJudgment_Storyteller_A2=There is a story that must be told. It is a tale of our lady Persephone, Queen of the Sunless Lands. For she is daughter of Demeter, goddess of growing things and bounty, and it was not by choice that she came to rule here. No, it happened when she was a girl. As the young goddess played among the fields, picking flowers, he burst forth from the ground, the Lord of the Dead, Hades himself. In his arms he took her, and down into his domain, and there took her as his wife. Demeter mourned; nothing grew and famine spread. At last Helios, who drives the sun and sees all beneath him, reported the deed. With Zeus himself as her emissary, Hades was forced to return to the world Demeter's daughter. But before she went, he played a trick – he fed her three seeds of the pomegranate fruit. For he knew that those who eat of this realm are bound to it. When the truth was out, Demeter wept and tore her dress, but could do no more. Although she might leave, Persephone must always return. And so she was made Queen of this realm.
xtagJudgment_Storyteller_A3=It is said our Dark Lady is now imprisoned by her Lord, chained in place. I wonder, could such a thing be true?
xtagJudgment_Storyteller_A7=They have no children. There is no new life here.

I searched alot in Hades, but haven't find it yet. It would be a shame if it's missing, the story is good.

Corinth near the statue of Persephone.. The statue there is named Kore which is another name of Persephone

the story is the rape of Persephone

nargil66:
Ah, so they included it in new xpack. Thanks.

Vio:
Actually no, that story does not appear anywhere. The "xtag" and "our Lady" parts show that is was supposed to be in Hades, but apparently it was left out.
Likely because in order to really do it justice, the game would need a higher age rating. Especially the part how she was conceived in the first place.

Items like "Demeter's Sorrow" (=Wintertime, when Kore is Persephone - also why she is "the breath of spring") allude to it, though, and the shrine in Corinth (which really existed btw) gives some pretty big hints that there is a gruesome story to be found behind it all.
