Lore

Writing on the Walls
Writing seen on the walls of the Necropolis, telling various tales and histories of Abraxis, Zothique, and the Necropolis itself. The writing comes in two forms; a more distinctly elegant embossed text (Lore), and the hastily done, messy scrawls of past adventurers (Graffiti). These latter carvings offer insight into the lore as well as tips, but more often than not serve as comedic relief, and can even rhyme. The Lore alphabet corresponds to the English alphabet each letter of Lore is another letter in English, so by matching up Lore letters with English it becomes quite easy to translate Lore.

Brazen Head quotes:
Every once in a while and during the loading screen the Brazen head says something that might have to do with lore and history of Zothique or is just comedic relief.

1."The Mighty Abraxis, Lord of Mirrors, who sits forever on the Onyx Throne.

was a great patron of the arts."

2."Near here Abraxis listened to the petition of Alna of Iz. After he heard her sing, he agreed to ride against yet another Lich King."

3. "The first veil was lifted, and Abraxis faced the demon Ulixsteracktus. The third was rendered, and Abraxis defeated Belgorath the Cruel.

Could happen to anyone."

4."Last time an adventurer stepped through that door there was a bright flash of light and a smell of cooked meat... but i'm sure it's safe."

5."Zura the Mist's little tricks were clever, I will admit. Because of her misdirection her body was not discovered for days."

6."Codexes contain the secrets of the ages. Within a book are truths of the world torn asunder. Except those by Edmund of the Stairs, that guy is a freakin' hack."

7."Blind Bestul is nothing but my puppet. I released him to sit outside and lure others in. You must admit it is an effective tactic."

8." In an age before the Phalanx of Semeter burned the Cities of Thought,

And the Iron Lords ascended to the Throne of Ash,

Before the veil to the Second World was ripped asunder,

Other stuff happened, I guess."

9."Look away, this image is cursed! All who gaze upon it are doomed! Just kidding. About the image at least. You are doomed, though."

10. "Here was the duel between Artis of Midan and the arcanist known only as The Stranger.

Wish I could remember who won."
