"It references him, yes. The note says, as well as it can be translated into Common:
"The maidens will be delivered to you. Be at Silence Point, outside of Maplewood, the night after Eklevia has been taken. Stay there, and a separate team will come a few days after to collect them and carry them to the next point. Obviously, make sure they are the collectors first, they'll let you know. Kill anyone else who tries to take them, and if any harm comes to them, on behalf of Zerex, you'll wish you never accepted this job."
"Well, we ran into another group while at the cave, I assume those where the "Collectors". And the rest of the information lines up with what we know. Does it say who rote this message."
"No, there's no signature. But Primordial... is a very ancient language, one that our first ancestors spoke, along with several of the deities they communicated with."
I do my best to subdue the pain I show, before asking if the gnome knows what the symbol is or where in the library I might be able to find information about it
Second, as you feel the pain, the same voice from the dream speaks in your head "Are you beginning to understand, chosen? Noo.... of course you are not. Reach the dining hall, and you will learn. Thennnnn, you will understand.... only then...."
You very poorly hide your pain, and the mark starts glowing brightly again. The gnome looks at you then says grimly, "You've been marked. Haven't you?"
The gnome nods silently and gets down from his pedestal. Waving his hand a little, the pen he was using lifts by itself and continues writing in the ledger. Quietly he says "Follow me, traveler." and he heads into a small side room.
"well, obviously it's damn important if it's about kidnapping religious maidens. Hey, a-aren't you the one who was researching the god Zerex?"
"Uh, yes, I was following a line of research into some strange magic I had heard of and ended on this Zerex, is this note linked to them?"
"It references him, yes. The note says, as well as it can be translated into Common:

"No, there's no signature. But Primordial... is a very ancient language, one that our first ancestors spoke, along with several of the deities they communicated with."
"And by the message it sounds like they follow Zerex, could have been some one close to if not this Divinity guy."
"Possibly. I can't be sure though." He hands you back the paper. Roll perception, Nemm.

You notice that the symbol on your chest is also on the paper. The second you look at it, you chest bursts into extreme pain where the mark is.
I do my best to subdue the pain I show, before asking if the gnome knows what the symbol is or where in the library I might be able to find information about it
First, roll deception for me.
Second, as you feel the pain, the same voice from the dream speaks in your head "Are you beginning to understand, chosen? Noo.... of course you are not. Reach the dining hall, and you will learn. Thennnnn, you will understand.... only then...."

(BTW, everyone, I posted a drawing of The Progenitor in the Discord last night, idk if you all saw it or not yet. Check it out =3)
I point subtlety at gnome and use Message "That obvious is it.. "
(I did see your drawing, very nice, sorry I didn't respond.)
The gnome nods silently and gets down from his pedestal. Waving his hand a little, the pen he was using lifts by itself and continues writing in the ledger. Quietly he says "Follow me, traveler." and he heads into a small side room.
